What's Wrong With Every Action Movie Ever (Page 2)

[wynn-ing]

Precisely and that is why they're never called "realistic action movies". Some of us like the tried and tested aspect of it but that's beyond concerns I guess 😂

[goaded]

Just in case you haven't seen it, relevant to number 8...

My biggest hate is a pointless story it's like the story is just made up with the middle being all the action to fit in. Fast and furious biggest one by far bad guy lots of action and guns and chases beats bad guy the end bad guy becomes good guy.

There's a lot wrong with almost every movie. Thank God for that. Imagine how boring a real, realistic movie would be. The most drama you'd get was hearing stories about others, bad grades etc.

[ShadowofRegret]

These are some of the reasons I can't really enjoy most movies these days...

[OfDeath]

Nah. All that stuff makes action movies fun. I like seeing that stuff.

[zagor]

You just have to think of them the way you would superhero movies. Hey, people can't really fly...

[myTake Owner]

As I said from the start, "I get it, this is fiction," but it's uneven fiction. A bad guy should not be mortally wounded by one blow, when 30 minutes later, the good guy gets hit the same way repeatedly and nothing happens to him and he's human. Now if you're talking fantasy action where good guys can fly and disappear into thin air, there really are no rules because that's not an earthly reality.

[EnglundUberAlles]

I couldn't agree more! No. 6 is a particular pet hate of mine. Producers don't seem to get that the less danger there is to the hero the more boring it makes the film.

[anametouse]

To be fair. You see number 2 in every hallmark movie in existence as well. Hollywood just needs better writers

[myTake Owner]

But I think people from the outset KNOW Hallmark movies are where every failed writer and actor goes to die so the expectation is that you're going to get a bad movie even before you watch, but people hail a lot of action movies that are just as bad. I'm not saying movies must be reality based all the time, but if one gets hit directly on the head with a 100lb blunt object, he shouldn't still be fighting in the same way that light chop to the neck shouldn't completely incapacitate him.

[anametouse]

Doesn't stop my mom from watching it. But yes, action movies are super wacky I agree

[GreatnessBack]

You forgot one: the fact that violence solves everything.

[myTake Owner]

....but, and I'm quoting every action movie ever here, "the law has failed us. We tried that route, and now it's time to take the law into our own hands and catch these guys ourselves. We definitely won't get caught committing the same crimes of murder and destruction of property the bad guys are doing as we are definitely innocent because we are 'good.' Lock and load. Let's do this!"

[GreatnessBack]

LOL, yup

[Nadim171]

I'm disappointed you didn't mention suppressors and reloading. Suppressors do not make a gun completely silent.

And muzzle flash is too big in movies, it is not that visible in real life

[Pejtu]

Action movies are fkn stupid nothing good aboit them

[JamesRandiDebates]

Next you're going to claim that getting bit by a radioactive spider doesn't confer superpowers.

[CausticHippy]

John wick is actually based on a true story about this guy named Keanu Reeves

[DanOh2018]

Umm, well in defense of action movies most pistol caliber wounds aren't immediately lethal.

[OddBeMe]

So you movie fantasies to be more realistic? Should we talk about romantic comedy tropes now?

[Jltakk]

John Wick is the only unironically good action movie franchise left in the west

[Screenwriter]

I've never seen John Wick, but have recorded it from TV and it is hilarious. Crazier than James Bond or Mission Impossible... Though it's played deadpan, there is nothing more tongue in cheek than John Wick. It's high violence/comedy. Cause it's so insane. You have to hate the russian boss wussy son who kills john's dog and steals his car... And the inventive poses john kills the bad guys in. Well, being an assassin he'snot exactly a good guy.. But he is put upon. Just wanted to retire and be left alone with his loss and grief. But he has to kill his way back to peace... It's nuts.

The best action movie of all time is Dredd
