The Bottom Line Action Packed
Like always in all of my epinions I am weird and different in choosing my ideas and reasons for enjoying a film. While im sure that I will somewhat disagree with my self in the order that the films will follow, their is no douth that these are my top picks.
Also, I would like to state that I am a relatively young fellow. There for my picks will be from this and the last decade.
With out further delay.... here they are:
10. The Fast And The Furious
Who said a good action film is only about violence? Not me that is for sure. This movie is laced with hearth tumping action and fills your veins full of adrenalin. Fast cars and even faster women... what more do you need? Maybe a little street racing? Yup this has little violence but yup it sure has Action. Its a mix between drinking a couple...dozen... red bulls, and riding your favorite rollercoaster ten times... after drinking that manny Red BUlls.
9. Jurrasic Park
Well now how can you not have a movie that holds massive action sequenses with dinosaurs. This film is in a catagory all in it self. Chase scenes, killer raptors, and lawyer being eaten by a T-rex. What more do you want? Sam Neil lead a well chosen cast into a story of tormenting action. This action movie is good. It is good.
8. X-Men
Wolverine. When you have a character in a movie who is just filled with fury... you get a large amount of action scenes. (Like you did not know.) I hope that in the next X film they base the action on his charater. (not that they did not in the previous...but can never get enought of him)At some points in the movie you could say that I held a sort of cheese approche to things. Ultimitely they pulled of the main objective: create a decent action flic.
7. Con Air
Im sure many would consire this film to be median or not so great movie. Just remember that it need not be an oscar caliber movie in order to be a good action movie. I was highly intreged by the contrbutions from all the major players in it(cage,malkovich,cuzac,etc..) The action it held was not bad at all.
6. Gladiator
Dazzling film with acting that surpasses most of the mediocre talent that is being rased in Hollywood. Putting the immensly great acting aside, this is absolutely a great fighting movie. The sord fighting.. the cutting of the head... the humping.. the everything! Adrenalin pumping and action packed.
5. Rush Hour
Usually I cant stand Tucker or Chan but in this film they came togheter to kick some bad guy butt. Their is much to be said about chemistry. They went together like mayo and lettuce... well... more like... umm p.b. and j.
4. Armageddon
I still find this to be one of the funniest movies that I have encountered. Buscemi was hilarious and refreshing. Its action was well worth the ticket admission. From elaborate scenes in an unpredictable meteor to fights inside space ships. Its filled with aright action stuff.
3. Face/Off
Now here is were we find true action movie magic. I cannot believe how good this movie is. The action never stops. Ofcourse being a Lee film it has his trade mark.. doves? piegeons? cant exactly remember but... you know what I mean. Call me crazy but my fav. action scene was in the prison were hes yelling IM CASTOR TROY!!! IM CASTOR TROY!! Action Packed? Indeed it is.
2. Blade
I know some are sour about this film but its vampires and sword fighting. Gotta love it. It holds great intensity. No one better than Wesley Snipes to play blade. Cant believe the pile of residual garbage that the sequel turned out to be. (but that another story and a whoooole nother story and .... a lot of teraphy.
1. The Matrix
It starts with action it ends with action and believe me theirs enough action in here for any action junkie. Best action flick Ive seen regardles of Reeves being in it. Its high use of bible references and idioligy was enough to keep anyone intreged. Sci-fi action flic without the dramatical dissapointment.
Thats basically it.
