What is a good action movie?

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

I'm going out to go hire a movie for the night but i want to know, what is a decent action movie with adrenaline pumping action, gun fights and car chases?

[Regality 233]

Are you looking for a movie in theaters/recently released? Or any action movie?

 

If it's any movie, I'd suggest The Godfather I/II or Goodfellas.

No problem bro. Have fun watching that movie, it's a great film!

 

Also you should check out The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, if you don't mind Western action movies (or if you haven't already seen it).

I'm not much for action, but The Matrix series are good. Pirates of the Carribean if you count that one. The X-Men series, Spider-Man series, Iron Man 1 & 2. I prefer ones with a plot. I can't stand guns firing and explosions going off every 5 minutes.

If you like adrenaline pumping action then the Rambo series is definitely the way to go. Just watch 1, 2, 3 and 4 in a massive and intense Stallone-gasm. Or, if you like sub-action movies with a drop of comedy, then Pineapple Express is the way to go (if you don't mind the drug references). Other good ones that I know of are: The Die-Hard series, Taken, The Bourne Series and Batman

 

If nothing here sounds appealing, then why not take a good old fashioned browse in the 'action' section - it's always good to read the blurb

Depends what kind of Action film you want, I do recommend some of the more Better Quentin Tarentino Films, I also recommend 13 assassins Starts slow, but builds into one of the best Action scenes i've seen for a long time, And if you wan't something completely different Watch Bunraku

The Boondock Saints

 

I loved that movie so much it is awesome!! the second one was alright but the first one was amazing.

 

You should def. try it out

[PonyEcho 1,610]

well all good action films have a bit of stupid in them so i recommend Commando, Invation USA, Die Hard, Total Recall, Out for Justice and Cobra <- these are all great movie that can be classed as action

[Planty 1,053]

I personally love the die hard series

 

I probably watch die hard 4 once every month or so! It's just such a great film

 

The new batman film was great too, not sure if it's out yet thought.

 

I also like, How to train your dragon. Yes it's a kid's film, but honestly it's probably my fav film at the moment and definatly worth a watch if you have not seen it yet!

[Nothing&NoOne 695]

The Dark Knight Rises.

That movie was amazing, went to see it in the theater. If you haven't seen it yet I recomend it, there's a lot of violence and tense scenes.

Lots of action in that one.

[Luna1945 24]

These are some of the best action films ever:

Kill bill vol 1&2, Die hard 4.0, Casino royale, Mr and mrs smith, Mission impossible, Rambo, Predator, Bourne Ultimateum, Robocop, total recall, Leathal weapon, The matrix, Terminator, Aliens and Raiders of the lost ark.

The Raid: Redemption

 

I was lucky that one of the local theaters was showing it, it's got a good story, shoot outs, and martial arts. Not sure how many others have heard if it, it seemed lit it was a sleeper hit.

Dark Knight Rises was terrible!!! Dark Knight is awesome, though!

I would recommend Terminator 2, Predator, Commando and Under Siege as well.

[SoundRaptured 139]

Watch Star Trek Into Darkness.

whatever that is, that's what a good action movie is. XP

like tops five minutes without action.

[PlunderSteed 1,252]

The Expendables franchise (with awesomeness from Stalone, Rourke, Lundgren and a dozen others you can't go wrong).

 

For something more serious, I recommend Inception, Unforgiven and Road to Perdition.

If you like crazy fight scenes and bones breaking and that kind of stuff - check out Deadly Crossing with Steven Seagal.  His character, Elijah Kane, is totally badass.  It should be at Red Box still - that's where I got it.  You wont' be sorry!
