well, it's 3 min in, and I can not beleive I am glad the "Action" drama opening scene is over!

It was almost the gayest thing I have seen next to two men having sex!

Hey! This is a great movie, it's so ironic, the ultimate deadbeat cliché actionpacked entertainment. It's the kind of film in which you don't have to think, just watch, just watch the actionpacked frenzy, you know what's gonna happen, you have the unbeatable supermarine with ridiculouse muscles, the beautiful girl who is kidnapped, the superevil psycotic genius, the henchmen, the car chases, the enormous explosions, the hardcore fistfights and every villain dies in some creative way.

This movie is bloody brilliant, a piece of actionart. It's just an action experience, nothing less, nothing more, and it never for a second tries to be anything but the purest hollywood action-entertainment you've ever seen.

2 seconds. Seriously...I'm still watching it, but it's impossible for me to take any of it seriously. Does anyone else think his relationship with his coworker is awkward? There's a lot of bro-love going on there...almost to the point of pure gayness...no offense to gay people out there.

It's on the FX Channel right now. I think I'm about to eyeroll myself blind in the first 15 minutes.

1. The cheesy opening title, with "The Marine's" poorly fitting dress blues, plus he's supposed to be some badass Force Recon Marine, but somehow made Sergeant without getting his Gold Jump Wings or his Combatant Diver Badge.

2. The ridiculous opening battle scene, with the Marine lone-wolfing it in some ridiculous outfit stolen from a G.I. Joe fan convention, with no body armor, no helmet, no extra ammo, no extra 40mm grenades, no water IN THE DESERT, and a headset plugged into...nothing. Hitting a major AQI encampment BY HIMSELF.

3. Wearing the old Woodland Green BDUs. With an Army cap. and not wearing his BDU top while meeting with a friggin' Colonel.

This film is awesome

I made it until Cena, attached to a truck with some large amounts of glue, goes through a country house and comes off unscathed. At that point dinner was ready and went to eat

I watched the entire thing, and had fun. It ranks right up there with Batman & Robin and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation as one of those "so bad, it's good" movies for me.

5 minutes..

reply

About 10 minutes.
This movie is still on, but i have been surfing boards here, went for a poo poo and called my mom instead of watching. I see about 30/40 movies a month and stop seeing maybe 3 of them. This is one of those times...

reply

I thought it was great fun.
Loved the eye glance of the Terminator.
And the duelling banjos.
And the rock candy
And the "shoot the un-needed henchman"
Ridiculous, of course thats its charm.
Could have been better through more wooden acting by the hero but you can't have it all.

reply

I had it on the TV while I was surfing the net; I watched most if it while turning around and chuckling at its sheer awfulness. I didn't even bother to watch last ten minutes of it -- I just didn't care how it ended.

It was just ridiculous.

reply

Good for you. You must be a hit at social events with that lack of humor. I'm sure members of the opposite sex also appreciate how you have no sense of humor.

reply

I turned it off when they kidnapped the wife and the chase began.
Didn't need any more to know this movie was a crap.
