History YMMV / TheMarine

* LesYay: Angela and Cate.

* WTHCastingAgency: It's not as bad as most, since The Miz still does a great job, but once you read WhatCouldHaveBeen on the front page regarding ''Marine 3,'' it becomes fairly apparent Jake Carter was written with Wrestling/RandyOrton in mind, being much more in line with his stoic man of few words instead of Miz's charismatic wiseass. And Orton's casting is ''itself'' an example, as prior to signing for the WWE, Orton received a Bad Conduct Discharge under court martial from the United States Marine Corps.

** The first movie would not be the last time [[Series/{{Peacemaker}} John Cena faced off against Robert Patrick]].

--->'''GiantMook:''' ''(blows up a police car with a bazooka and is met with disbelieving stares from his comrades)'' What? Too much?

* {{Narm}}: Rome stopping to take a call on his mobile phone, while being chased through the swamp by a police helicopter and Wrestling/JohnCena. First, it's ''his boss betraying him'''. Then, his phone rings '''again''', and this happens:
-->'''TV Service rep:''' [on Rome's cell] You've been approved!
-->'''Rome:''' Great! This include the premium channels and the sports package, right? (smiles into camera)
* SoBadItsGood: The first movie has a pretty generic action plot and decent special effects. It could probably be considered SoOkayItsAverage were it not for the hilarious acting of [[DullSurprise Cena]] and Creator/RobertPatrick (who is fully aware what kind of movie he is in and [[EvilIsHammy earns his pay]]) as the crime boss. The supporting cast is equally hilarious and the dialogue?
--->'''GiantMook''' (blows up a police car with a bazooka and is met with disbelieving stares from his comrades): What? Too much?
** Special mention goes out to the scene where the BigBad threatens at gunpoint the hostage who's currently piloting the helicopter they're both sitting in hundreds of feet above the street. (note that the reason she's flying it, is because ''he doesn't know how'')

** The first movie would not be the last time [[Series/{{Peacemaker}}John Cena faced off against Robert Patrick]].

* LesYay: Angela and Cate. FoeYay as well.

* HilariousInHindsight: In the first movie, Bennet (Manu Bennet) comments that Triton is "like the Franchise/{{Terminator}}", [[ActorAllusion cueing a glance from]] Rome (Creator/RobertPatrick). Manu Bennet would later play Slade/Deathstroke in ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', who is nicknamed "the Terminator".

* DudeNotFunny: The reason why Morgan [[PaedoHunt hates rock candy]] is [[DoubleStandardRapeMaleonMale played for laughs.]]

* {{Narm}}: Rome stopping to take a call on his mobile phone, while being chased through the swamp by a police helicopter and Wrestling/JohnCena. First, it's just some random contact ratting him out. Then, his phone rings '''again''', and this happens:

** It's actually better than that. That's not some random contact he's talking to, it's ''his BOSS, and he's betraying him.'' What makes this even better is that, [[RefugeInAudacity mid betrayal, he puts his boss on hold to set up his cable TV package.]]

* SoBadItsGood

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Triton gets kidnapped by some poachers in the middle of the movie, fights them, and runs off. As per the trope rule, they're of little use, and are never mentioned again.

* YourMileageMayVary: Viewers will either like this movie because of John Cena, or hate it just for that reason. If you can ignore this, it's actually a decently "turn your brain off" action movie.
