Here is a link to the ones released so far: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Studios#ReleasedI'm going to try to watch all of them at some point (wish me luck!). Anyway, out of the ones I've seen so far the early ones starring The Rock are probably the best. I really liked The Scorpion King (I even had the rare two disc DVD set back when it came out) and The Rundown was pretty good. As for others The Scooby-Doo movie was also fun for what it was. As for worst. Well, I'm sure some of those action movie sequels are pretty bad. I can't imagine what a movie starring Ted DiBiase JR. must be liked (I actually like DiBiase, but he's never been great on the stick so...). Again, I have no idea for sure as I haven't watched them yet. However, I did just finish The Chaperone. The movie is impossible to get through in one sitting. Also, for an action/comedy there is VERY little action in it. I'm not even that into action movies these days, but I was actually hoping for a well choreographed fight scene featuring HHH.

Getting the rights to Oculus was a steal for them...I loved it...Definitely their best under their umbrella

Getting the rights to Oculus was a steal for them...I loved it...Definitely their best under their umbrella Yeah, that's pretty nuts that, that is a WWE Studios production. It even made it to number 2 at the box office, which I think is the highest one of their films have gone so far. I think the success of WWE Studios shows that Vince's non-wrestling business doesn't always fail. WWE Studios has now been around 12 years and I think Oculus has been its greatest success. So with some upward momentum they may even produce a number one box office movie sometime. I still haven't seen Oculus though, but like I said I'd like to check them all out at some point Edit: I just checked and it looks like Oculus only went to number 3 and The Call was the movie that got to the number 2 spot at its peak. Still, pretty good though and my bigger point stands.

The Rundown was a good bad movie. But I always liked the Condemned. There were some vicious scenes in that movie. And I like that basically everyone got killed. Except that hot blonde with the glasses. She was...hot.

For what it was, I enjoyed The Call. It was fast paced and told a nice tight story. Kind of like Phone Booth, you never felt like it was a chore to watch.

I just watched The Call last night. First two thirds of the movie I thought was fantastic! I got slightly put off when Halle Berry goes all detective at the end but still the best WWE movie I've seen. As a supporting character, David Otunga is not in it much but he's perfectly fine and likeable in the parts he is in.
Worst movie had to be Dead Man Down. Christ on a bike, it was awful. I tried so many times to leave the screen room but it would never turn to daylight in the movie so I couldnt see my own feet to leave (would be just my luck to fall in the theatre haha).

I don know if I'm alone in this, but I really enjoyed "12 Rounds." You aren't alone. I liked that one, too. In fact, I still remember actually going with a friend to see that in theaters on a Tuesday afternoon. As for others, despite all of its flaws, I actually enjoyed "The Marine" for some strange reason. Yes, it's unrealistic. Yes, it's cheesy. Yes, there is no way that he could go through all of what he went through and not be hurt, not to mention he didn't have any effects on his clothes like being ripped or dirty. I could go on, yet, I couldn't help but enjoy it. As for others, I did like "Dead Man Down" and "The Call." I remember going to see those two in theaters in March of last year. My friends didn't know much about "Dead Man Down" but they liked it. I remember my friend was a little skeptical about seeing the WWE Studios logo at first, but he still enjoyed it. "The Condemned" was a movie that I enjoyed and I may be saying that because I am an Austin mark. However, I didn't like the preachy theme it tried to force on us towards the end of the movie. I did like Austin talking down to the producer and giving him some BS answers. I didn't mind "Legendary." It was decent for what it was but it felt like a Lifetime or Hallmark movie. I remember watching "Knucklehead" before. It was sort of stupid but I didn't mind it. Plus, seeing Melora Hardin in her underwear was a nice sight, even if it was for less than a minute. The girl she knocked out was also nice to look at. I took the Marine sequels for what they were, but if I had to choose which one I liked better, I would probably go with "The Marine 2." I kind of preferred the Die Hard/Under Siege scenario, though Miz didn't do badly in "The Marine 3." However, there were some things that I didn't like about it. Regarding "12 Rounds 2: Reloaded," I remember watching it and enjoying it, but I can see that it felt a little darker than the first movie. Plus, I don't get how Randy Orton is supposed to be an EMT but has this fighting ability and can be able to evade cops like he can. Sure, it may be possible that his character went through fighting training as a hobby in his lifetime, but still. Plus, I didn't like how there was a sympathetic villain this time around. In the first movie, the villain may have lost his girlfriend, but he was still scum. In the sequel, he lost his wife and wanted revenge. In a way, I felt bad for him, but we were still supposed to root for Orton's character. I still found it entertaining, though. However, Orton needs to work on his acting.

I enjoyed Walking Tall. The Rundown had The Rock, Sean William Scott, Christopher Walken, and Rosario Dawson...that is all. The Marine was super corny, and it had Super Cena surviving explosions that would have killed him and stuff.

The only one I saw was Knucklehead. I actually thought it could be funny, because I like Big Show. But damn, was it bad.

Well the ones I've seen are The Rundown, Walking Tall (which is on AMC right now as I type this!), The Marine 1, 2 & most of 3 and 12 Rounds.
I did not care for The Rundown at all. Just really couldn't get into it. But then I hate Sean William Scott in most capacities.
Walking Tall was just alright.
The Marine... *laughs* I enjoyed for the unintentional hilarity and face palming that movie provided. It's bad but I tend to watch most of it every time it graces my screen. Having Dozer from The Matrix act like a walking talking caricature that constantly brought up his blackness was annoying as f*** though.
The Marine 2? I liked it a whole lot more as it seemed like a genuine action movie and DiBiase was more believable to me as a legit marine. Plus... Michael Rooker.
The Marine 3? Boy what I saw of it was pretty awful. I remember thinking (and my siblings co-signed), how come The Miz didn't get a super hot blonde wife to rescue like in the previous two films? Just his "younger" sister who wasn't believably young in any capacity and her doofy wannabe edgy boyfriend lol. And a lot of what the bad guys were doing made very little sense.
12 Rounds was awful as well. I remember it being billed as some great action movie and that Cena was supposed to be the next great action star but damn... Ugh. Watching him run through the city with a tiny phone in his giant hands doing increasingly improbable things... I just can't. And was it ever explained why his wife knew how to fly a helicopter?
Dead Man Down has been sitting in my Netflix queue for about three months now, perhaps I'll get to it someday. I would like to watch Occulus and Randy's 12 Rounds someday as well.

Rundown, Scorpion King. For me the list ends there. In 'Beyond the Mat', Vince says 'We're in the business of making movies'. You would think they would have gotten better over time...

The Marine was pretty entertaining if you could turn your brain off. Scooby Doo at Wrestlemania was pretty damn good considering the horrors I was prepared for when I watched it with a house full of kids.
No Holds Barred still has the most entertainment value of all their movies.

I don know if I'm alone in this, but I really enjoyed "12 Rounds." Enjoyed that too. Only WWE film I've seen at the cinema I think. I've seen See No Evil (average) The Condemned (good) & The Marine (average) but none of the recent one's.

All kidding aside tho. The talking about the 'best' WWE films is kind of like being lousy at Call of Duty and ranking up based solely on getting post-match bonuses. They count as long as quality is left completely out of the discussion.

I've seen quite a few of them thanks to the Showtime channels.
The Rundown Walking Tall See No Evil The Marine The Marine 2 The Marine 3 12 Rounds The Condemned Legendary Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia Knucklehead The Chaperone That's What I Am Inside Out The Reunion Bending the Rules No One Lives Christmas Bounty Scooby Doo WrestleMania
Now the vast majority aren't very good, but I'm easy to please. I love bad movies for the most part, so the only thing I hate is a boring movie. The worst out of all those, for me, was Inside Out. Triple H and Michael Rappaport both are people I generally enjoy, but not in this film. I was bored out of my mind and couldn't finish the thing. As for the best... The Rundown or one of the Cena action films. Though I've yet to watch Oculus or The Call, which are supposed to be the two best.

I really enjoyed That's What I Am, and really liked how instead of shoehorning a wrestler into a lead role, Orton's role was that of a glorified cameo.
