Am I the only one who loves action movies even if it's unrealistic?

Action movies are my personal favorite genre. I laugh my head off when bad guys get brutally F'd up. It's true that the action in many movies is absurd. I cringe when guns are used unrealistically, like chambering guns that were already chambered, wasting ammo pointlessly, firing 100s of rounds out of a 15 or 30 round magazine, not hitting easy targets, bullets that spark when they hit wood or concrete, cars that blow up when they get shot, ... I could go on.

I don't like military movies with soldiers fighting "terrorists" in places like Afghanistan.
And I hate Asian films that are all about swords and unrealistic martial arts.
I fucking hate comic book action films and CG bullshit.

I love movies like Bourne and others where good guys are being chased by the CIA and are really good with weapons, evasion and hand to hand.

I even like Steven Segal movies even though most are cheesy and he is the worst actor in the history of film. At least he knows how to seriously F people up.

And I love screwball action movies like Mr. Right, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Killers, ...

There are a LOT great action films and I'm terrible at remembering the names.

No you're not alone

Why would people want movies to be realistic? We face the realistic life every single day..

I do agree that lot of action movies are unrealistic , like in this movie Commando Arnold get's into an island and kills 100+ people highhandedly.. but the whole movie is not about just mindless gunfights and explosions.. How his daughter get's kidnapped and how he tracks her and saves her.. the story line is great

Most of 80s action movies had a great storyline along with the action of course.. that's why they are still loved

[Asker]

Yea, I love 80s!

"Get to da chopppaaaaaaaaaaaaa...", "Welcome to the party pal!", "I'll be back", "Yippee ki yay, mother (bleep)"

No, I don't watch action flicks. Never seen 'em :D 'Die Hard' wasn't an action film, it was a wholesome Christmas movie with a bit of interpersonal tension mixed in.

[HelpfulWoman]

obviously not. hence why many action movies that are unrealistic exist...

[BCA6010]

If it's a movie that isn't trying to be realistic, then I can usually enjoy it.

If it's a movie that is supposed to be based on real events and people however, I will flay it up and down for even minor details.

[BCRanger10]

I LOVE Commando!

Die Hard, Last Action Hero, Eraser, The Expendables, The Expendables 2, John Wick, True Lies... like Frosted Flakes. They're grrrrreat!

[Asker]

Hell yeah

[BCRanger10]

I thought I'd include the dumb pun in that same spirit. Also as a plug for my question yesterday about fictional tigers 😆

[NewgodOmega]

I dont mind unrealistic action as long as it's decent to watch I would never watch a movie with stupid stunts the action can be unrealistic but it has to be good

[Asker]

Yeah agree
By the way, I wonder if you remember.. we talked a few months ago on this site..
You said about "checking out early" and I said " See you on the other side" ...

[NewgodOmega]

Still here don't know how long

[Asker]

Same here brother
Just drinking and watching movies mindlessly these days
Very glad to cross roads with you again, probably never again.. who knows..

Wasted daylight, We all just wasted daylight

No, my ex-fiance's step sister's hubby used to sit around all day, every day watching one after the other. That's why she divorced him! He never got ANY house work done while she was at work and school!

I love action movies. Rambo, Die Hard, the Replacements and all the Arnold movies.

No! I fucking love action movies. A lot of people do, especially men. If we didn’t Hollywood wouldn’t continue to make them. I spent 10 years in the military so I know a lot more of what’s real or not in these movies. But I still love them.

[RebelinSteel]

Pretty much all movies suspend real world stuff

you have to just accept stuff in a movie

[Joshydavid25]

Well, not at all.. There's a reason they were popular in the 80s and 90s.. And even some now..

[Huntingnfishin]

Nah man we all love a good action movie! A good ole cheesy action movie or lack of a solid plot line! All good to me!

[Phoenix98]

That's kind of the point of them it's just unrealistic crazy and fun action.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Nope, sci-fi and fantasy action movies are the best movies in my opinion.

[Wiredone]

No you're not the only one. I love action movies. I love it for the special effects.

[virtualwasp]

no, they are great. the unrealistic the better

[Asker]

Same!

[OtterMan68]

I prefer them more realistic.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Nope I love them too

[JayBones]

Yes. f*****
