When talking about action films in recent years, the audiences' expectations and standards have changed (and been risen). When we used to welcome car explosions and fight scenes with stunt men, we have now come to expect the best of what CGI has to offer.
These are some of the best action movies to be released over the past few years.
When it comes to superhero movies, big action sequences are a given. However, the best superhero action movie award goes to The Dark Knight. The scene where Batman wraps a cable around the wheels a truck speeding toward him is an unforgettable sequence.
Another film that was packed with incredible action was The Matrix: Reloaded. While the film was not as complete as the original in terms of storylines, they upped the ante in this sequel with insane sequences.
When it comes to the best action movie audiences have been exposed to in recent years, however, the award goes to Avatar. Futuristic war scenes on another planet out of the mind of James Cameron with 10-foot tall blue aliens on dinosaur like birds against an American military? Yes please.
Another film that was action packed while satisfying critics and audiences around the world was Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King. Peter Jackson pulled out all the stops with the final story in this epic trilogy, and as a result, the film won the Oscar for best picture of the year.
District 9 is not a traditional action film, however it delivered on all accounts in my opinion. There is minimal action and suspense within the first half of this movie, but it is all part of a story line ascent that takes off in the second half and never looks back.
Hopefully there are some films on this list that you have yet to see. If you are a fan of action films, they are all worth checking out.
