People don't like action movies?

[Darthdenim]

Hard action movies like Dredd, and The Last Stand Flop, and now the new Stallone Movie, The Last Stand, flops too.

What the hell?

Is everybody a pussy now cause of Sandy Hook?

[BloodCoveredWolf]

Yes they're big pussies

[Sword-of-Kings]

Maybe the action movies now suck. I'm not sure. I don't think I've seen more than a couple action movies.

[hecticjon]

people are finally getting sick of big budget action movies

good

[Darthdenim]

The new Die Hard will probably make money, only because it's a famous franchise.

[Pkmn2]

Let's wait until Iron Man 3 comes out...

[UVSoaked]

I could see why the new Stallone movie would fail. Same stuff with the same actor, but much older.

I love action movies, but only when they're 100% action and 0% anything els. I watch action movies to see explosions and guns and good shit like that.

I loved transformers, but only because it had two of my favorite things in the world: Big explosions, and amazing orgasmic sounds.

He just has a personal vendetta against me for some reason.

[IdiLogicSavant]

who is sandy hook an activist?

[HighWay]

no because they are sub-par movies.

[Sense-Offender]

I think it's because they're definite rentals. I know I wouldn't pay for a ticket to see any of those in the theater, but I still intend to rent them.

Superhero movies seem to do pretty well. I think the male target audience for action movies have moved onto video games.

This thread reminded me that I still want to see Dredd.

[YellowisCOOL]

Action movies are cool.

[ClockworkSpace]

I just saw Djano Unchained today. i have to say, it was pretty badass. There were some quite funny bits too

[thecoolkillerwhale]

They do

[Sekhem]

dredd and the last stand were mediocre

and i'm a fan of stallone and arnold

i even love cobra

i think most action film fans just watch hk flicks, since hollywood forgot about us a long time ago

hollywood is full of pussies

Action movies are fucking boring, is the problem. They really really are.

Fight scenes with unwitty banter building up to more fight scenes enrich me in no way. I have tried quite a few times, because there are exceptions (Bourne series is very very good) but often the reliance on action over character or good plot ruins a film. I can't care about the action if I don't care about the people in it.

[Jester]

The genre has been done to death too much for me to enjoy them anymore if there's no uniqueness to them. Like Xenomit said, Transformers was neat because robots fucking each other up, but then you've got shitty "fast cars blonde women action one-liners arrghhh" like the recent Jack Reacher that have absolutely no interesting aspects.

Movies catering to people with your taste are exactly the reason shit movies exist. If 'explosions and guns and good shit like that' is enough to entertain people then no wonder that's all a lot of movies are (I'm looking at you recent DIE HARD films)

I enjoyed the shootout scene near the end; I especially liked how the stacks of paper in the backseat of the car protected him from enemy gunfire, seeing as how the Mythbusters did indeed find out that paper in such quantities is quite bulletproof.

If you like that movie, then you should see the Raid: Redemption.

I haven't seen it, but after seeing multiple trailers with no visible story other than "Tom Cruise is a cop who has lots of gunfights, gets mad ass, and fights people hand to hand sometimes" so I chalked it up alongside the other recent generic action movies like Parker and The Expendables 2.

Even though you're mostly right about it this time, you really shouldn't say things like "absolutely no interesting aspects" if you haven't actually seen the movie. Jack Reacher had cooler than average shootouts and gun stuff imo

[TheColourAwesome2]

Dunno man. Generalising for no reason will help.

[supergandhi64]

some of the best movies are live action movies . . . for instance lord of the rings
