Fantastic Action Films That Were Released In Recent Years
Action movies are as popular as they have ever been. In general, the summer and Christmas seasons are primetime for going to the movies and seeing the best action sequences Hollywood has to offer. If you want to see superheroes, explosions and mind blowing CGI, this is the time to go to the movies.
In my opinion, here are the best action movies from the past ten years.
Anytime you are talking about action movies, you have to mention the superhero movies. Oddly enough the best two action superhero movies are also the best superhero movies overall. One of these films is the Dark Knight, which was a complete film from start to finish.
Speaking of movies involving heroes, the second Matrix film also blew away my expectations (visually, at least). There is a car chase scene in this film where Carrie Anne Moss is driving a motorcycle on the freeway into incoming traffic that is crazy to watch.
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.
Another action film that I thoroughly enjoyed was Kick-Ass. This film certainly featured something we have never seen before: A 10 year old girl beating up on bad guys. Hit Girl does not mess around, and some of the scenes in this film are not for the faint of heart.
As it stands, this is my list. I may have to save room for the Expendables, as it has the biggest action cast ever assembled and has been in the works for years.
