I’ve watched all of the Marine films and damn near every other WWE studios film now. How would I rank this among them?
It’s… possibly the best one yet! It didn’t drag at all. Bo Dallas made for a great imposing villain! Heath Slater and Curtis Axel both made fine back-up, especially Axel, with that beardy viking charisma of his and more screen-time. Naomi and Maryse both were fine but only briefly featured. Naomi at least got a pretty cool fight scene.
It’d be stupid to try and compare this film to something like The Godfather or No Country For Old Men or Spymate. This deserves to be rated alongside the like of Predator, The Running Man or Assault On Precinct 13.
So, with that in mind, I’m going to award The Marine 5 a rating of 6 / 10. There are much better action movies out there! But there are also a lot — a lot — of far, far worse films. Some of them by WWE Studios. Hi, 12 Round 3: Lockdown!
I definitely would recommend The Marine 5 to any fans of action movies. Just don’t expect a classic and you’ll have a lot of fun.
