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...
