You can actually see the actors cringing at their own acting. It's like they try to act, but the director tells them it's too good and they need to turn it back a notch.
The word stereotype is just too weak for these characters:
A grizzled gung-ho marine commander - check.
Two younger hero marines, one female - check.
The main macho hero - check.
A blonde bimbo - check.
Throw in lots of hoorahs - check.
Chuck in any old dubious story where they all almost get killed several times - check.
Add some dodgy CGI - check.
Absolutely tedious and embarrasing for all concerned. Watch some paint drying instead.
