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 haven't watched Inside Out yet, but just read the plot summary for it. WOW! WWE released TWO films in 2011 where HHH plays an ex-convict who fights bad guys in New Orleans. Was this supposed to be a franchise or something? Why are the two plots so similar? Also, weirder still why is one a comedy and one a serious action movie? I did find this bit from Wikipedia funny though: |

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. That one has me real interested out of all the ones I've been reading about. It actually has a 7 rating on IMDB! I really enjoy comedies so given that, That's What I Am is a comedy/drama so it is pretty high on my list. However, I have Knucklehead all set for tonight's viewing. Pray for Mojo  |

My dad and I always laugh at The Marine. He loves when Cena gets hit with a sledgehammer and brushes it off, yet when he's hit with a 2x4, he's out cold. My best friend and I saw 12 Rounds the day it came out. It's a fun action movie......and we were cracking up at the villain.  My mom and I watched Knucklehead after I got out of the hospital from having a seizure. Not exactly a comedy masterpiece, but it was nice to laugh at it after being in pain a few days earlier.  My brother and I still love No Holds Barred.  |

Here is one I forgot to mention, and this movie had no wrestlers at all:  I remember watching it twice. I own it, by the way. Anyway, what I thought about this movie: I remember thinking it was slow when I first watched it and things started picking up after the second half. When I watched it the second time, I enjoyed it more. However, there were still something I didn't understand. Regarding Shawn Ashmore's character, I didn't understand the purpose of the flashbacks involving his wife or daughter. Plus, I thought Shannyn Sossaman was a little annoying in the movie, but at the same time, I can understand why she hated Ashley Bell's character. I still liked it, though. I liked it more the second time than I did the first time. It was kind of like "The Road" as it had a post-apocalyptic setting but it also dealt with cannibals. |

!2 Rounds and The Marine are a lot of fun. Goofy and completely unreal but a whole lot of fun.

Random question, but Oculus also has exactly zero wrestlers in it to right? Like not even Heath Slater playing the ghost of a little girl for a split second?

I watched The Call the other week & thought it was pretty good. I didn't even know it was a WWE film until I Wikied it after & yes, I didn't spot Otunga either

The Condemned was underrated. That was a solid film. Not Citizen Kane but better than most action movies.

Honestly, most WWE films aren't all that bad if you're used to cheesy direct-to-dvd stuff.
The best overall was probably "The Call".
Of the direct to dvd movies, I know it gets shit on alot, but I thought "The Chaperone" was pretty good as a low budget 80's/early 90's-style action comedy.
The absolute worst was "Bending the Rules" starring Edge and Jamie Kennedy. I turned it off after about 15 minutes or so. I don't even remember much aside from it having unlikeable characters, and it was pretty boring.
And the second worst was "The Reunion" starring John Cena, just a really boring movie that I could barely stay awake through.

I've only really seen The Condemned. I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it was.

I've seen the following films from WWE Studios: See No Evil, which I also have on DVD The Marine The Condemned That's What I Am The Day No One Lives Dead Man Down The Call Christmas Bounty Oculus Road to Paloma |

I really liked The Rundown. The leads had good chemistry and I thought it was really funny.

I really enjoyed the Marine Trilogy, those are some of the best action flicks I've seen. See No Evil is one of my all time favorite movies because Kane is in it and it's very scary! I watch it every Halloween!
But I think the best is yet to come from WWE Studieos. I mean I really wanna see Jingle All the Way 2. I loved the original but this looks so much funnier since Larry the Cable Guy is in it and I freaking love Larry the Cable Guy! I just wish they had a better funny wrestler in it instead of Sanito. I mean Big Show would be great for the moive. His comedic energy is off the hook in Knucklehead, that is another favorite of mine from WWE studios. I hope they make Knucklehead 2 someday!
Does anyone know if WWE Films is still creating the movie about the Under Taker and his origin story movie? I haven't been a fan of Undy in ages but I would love to see a movie about him.

Watched Knucklehead yesterday. Yuck, not my cup of tea, but there are worse out there. Case in point I then tried to do a double feature with Leprechaun Origins, but tapped out about a third of the way through the Leprechaun movie. Well, not quite tapped out because I'm going to try to get through the rest of the Leprechauns movie tonight.

My favorite is Legendary
Thought The Marine and 12 Rounds were pretty decent cookie cutter action movies
See no evil was a decent horror flick
