The Single Black Guy in The Marine


Does anyone else just completely despise the black character, Morgan. They might as well have used a chimp to play this part because that is all this character is. He shot the police officer and blew up the entire gas station for no reason except "he doesn't like cops or rock candy." He acts completely stupid. On top off all of this when he throws the race card, he throws it for all of the completely idiotic stuff that he did. They might as well put him in chains and told him to say "you want me to dance massah?" And just for reference I don't hate that character because a black person plays it, I can tell I would despise that character if a rock played it. Just Horrible.

Yeah, the whole race card stuff was predictable, stupid and insulting. No wonder Blacks watch movies like this and get really pissed off; can't blame 'em at all.

He was a joke. The black man thing at the very end makes me laugh every time. And I'm black. Actually every time he talks about being a black man cracks me up.
Most things about this movie are pretty tongue-in-cheek and cornball. It's not high art or high comedy but I watch the first half of this one every time it's on cable. I'm watching it now. It's a guilty pleasure kind of flick.

The scene that kills me every time is the cop car flying through the air upside down and John Cena falls straight down from the roof, while everyone's shooting at it with SMILES on their faces!! It doesn't get any better than that.

Oh yeah, and all the explosions.

Hey, at least he didn't die first.

it wouldn't be as bad with the rock - because the rock has an ounce of acting ability.

"a" rock, he said. A rock.
