Since debuting a few years ago, WWE Films was supposed to be a great project where the WWE's top stars would have a more global audience by becoming movie stars. There were ideas for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to have many roles in WWE Films, yet he left before he could even have a chance.

Anyway, WWE has had four full length feature films in theaters which were: The Marine: starring John Cena, The Condemned: starring Steve Austin, See No Evil: starring Glen "Kane" Jacobs, and 12 Rounds: starring John Cena again.

Also they released some straight to DVD videos which were: Behind Enemy Lines Columbia: starring Ken Kennedy, and The Marine 2 (not released yet): starring Ted DiBiase Jr.

So I found some brief reviews from the viewers of these films online about these following movies before I continue my thoughts on the WWE Films. These were actual people's thoughts, not official reviews.

The Marine

Some crazed jewel thieves get trigger-happy in a gas station, and kidnap John Cena's wife. This is useful, as it adds the dangerous excitement of having an angry pro-wrestler chase them through South Carolina forests.

The Marine often feels like an oddball black comedy about a dysfunctional band of sociopaths, just masquerading as an action movie about one tough ex-Marine.

The story is minimal and the action is preposterous, but it doesn't try to be much else.

It has the air of garbage, but is kind of cute, despite the awful dialogue.

It is not particularly a bad film. It is just nothing special.

A delectably bad '80s-style actioner.

So bad that it's very nearly sublime.

It should come as no surprise to anyone that The Marine is bad. No, that's not bad as in "bad-ass". If you had high expectations for this film you're either a deluded wrestling fan or you just haven't been paying attention. Spending three seconds with the movie's trailer should have been enough to warn you off.

What is surprising is that The Marine isn't epically bad, it's not a stinker of mammoth proportions. It's merely crappy and all the credit for that should go to Robert Patrick and his gang of wacky villains.

These were some quotes on this film which you might have guessed, they do have some very poor reviews. I indeed did see this film and I did not find it very good. The bad guys were goofy and all these explosions and action seens are a little bit overdone.

Originally John Cena was not supposed to have this role, but he received it at the last second after Steve Austin could'nt do it. This was WWE Films first feature film, and it was indeed a "bad" movie.

See No Evil

Here are some quotes from people that saw WWE mid-carder Kane in a horror film. By the way, why use Kane? He's a scary looking dude, but can the WWE expect many profits from him if he's treated as a mid-carder?

Devoid of suspense. I was bored.

You would think that a pornography director would be a decent fit for a slasher movie...Yet Gregory Dark seems unable to make the transition.

A loathsome, repugnant slasher/thriller.

It's deliberate exploitation, but not clever enough to be much fun.

Feels like an eternity, making one wish the killer would hurry up so that the end credits can roll and we could all be done with this bloody mess.

If it carries the faint odour of freshly carved teenage flesh, plus a soupcon of plucked eyeball, then you’ve sniffed out See No Evil.

See No Evil is packed with cliches from countless other teen slasher films, making for a predictable, scare-free waste of time.

I also indeed saw this film and I was very disappointed by its lack of suspense in the film. By the way this was WWE Film's first movie, sorry for the mistake with The Marine.

This was some random killer killing teenagers by ripping out eyeballs. Well that's different. Anyways there were some very gory and scenes with a decent atmosphere, but its good qualities were demolished by its terrible qualities.

The Condemned

I did not see this film from WWE Films, but here were some opinions on WWE's latest project.

The Condemned is a morally ambiguous, exceedingly violent and mostly forgettable action film.

Attacking the intended audience is one of those things that a filmmaker just doesn't do. Jeez!

if you're going to make a movie like this...do it right. Don't complicate things. Keep it simple, bloody, and stupid.

The film even attempts to make moral judgments about how watching a fight to the death is wrong, which ends up alienating anybody that sat their butt down in the theater in the first place.

I was looking for a movie like this. An over the top cheesy action film. What?! I said I've been seeing a lot of overly serious movies lately. What?! Its summer, I want to see stuff get blown up. What?!

The Condemned sprays its fury wide: media manipulators, political opportunists and technology-pacified couch potatoes are among the collaterally damaged. Paying audiences don’t get off so easy either.

The Condemned tries to have its cake and eat it, too, alternately between a preachy scene about the depravity of reality entertainment, followed by sequences of remorseless carnage, such as when Vinnie Jones guns down a roomful of unarmed people in code blue.

As I said, I didn't see this film, but I know it was disappointing. This was a disappointment to all fans, especially Stone Cold fans. This was Round 3 of terrible films.

Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia

Well this film was straight to DVD starring Ken Kennedy, and I did see this. This was a fun movie, except it has nothing to do with Behind Enemy Lines. Also, it is pretty mediocre at times. Another one of WWE's soldier/action movies. Here are three short reviews before I move on:

If this film had been released in theaters, it would have been a bit of a bummer, but on DVD for some guilty pleasure, it's pretty decent.

...steps over the line from watchable time-waster to tedious waste of time, thus ensuring that all three movies share a fairly consistent level of mediocrity.

Colombia has the flair of a rough '80s actioner, only slicker.

But the only thing that makes me mad is that Kennedy isn't even the star in the film. He's got a pretty decent character, yet he's not the main star.

12 Rounds

This movie is to be released this Friday. Though it looks like a decent movie, John Cena is just not a good actor and here were the early reviews.

I will watch this but not right away, I'll wait for it to come out on TV unless it's spectacular. A few of these were not bad, but I still believe it is a crossover of The Marine and The Condemned.

The first thing I have to say about 12 Rounds is that it was awesome. This film is a far cry from The Marine, The Condemned, and See No Evil.

Cinematically this is by-the-book multicam crash-and-burn spectacle that lacks originality but has spades of energy and a few truly suspenseful moments. Doesn't quite make it worth your time, though.

If you leave your brain in neutral, you should have a fairly enjoyable ride.

This big-budget action thriller excels at dishing out a plot that's a bit like a chess game on speed.

Anyways I will see the full reviews, but there were some out since 12 Rounds is out in Australia. Lastly, I'd like to inform you of WWE Films' latest projects. I don't know much about these projects, but I'll give you some information on them.

The Marine 2: Starring Ted DiBiase Jr. (Set for Release in 2010)

This movie will be a sequel to The Marine, yet I don't get how it will be a sequel. It looks like it'll be an entire new lame action movie, but I guess thats what WWE thinks will get over.

I know DiBiase won't be bad, but how will he draw big money if he is yet to hold a World Title or an IC/US title. He will be a star one day, but I feel he won't be a draw next year.

Missing In Action (Remake): Starring TBA (Set for release in TBA)

I really don't know much except it'll be an exact remake of Missing In Action. It's likely to star either Steve Austin, John Cena, Roddy Piper, or Triple H. Anyways, it's just a remake.

Suckerpunch: Starring The Big Show (Set for release in TBA)

Is Big Show really that funny? It might be all right for a DVD release, but why not let a truly funny man do it, like Santino Marella or Carlito. I guess WWE thinks going with the fat guy still draws money.

The only movies I remember over the last two years that have done well with that are Mall Cop, and that's about it. Make Step Brothers 2 or something. Get Will Ferrell!

In conclusion, WWE Films really needs "12 Rounds" to draw well especially after all that promotion they did. It has been disappointing watching WWE Films over the past few years, and the future doesn't look bright.

Until next time...
