Edge of Tomorrow had no good action.
>>
>>85991145
I don't give a fuck if this is a Escape rip-off, it was entertaining as fuck and a thousand times better than Escape From LA.

Joseph Gilgun killed the braindamaged psycho role.
>>
>>85991535
Inception is not an action movie, Hardcore Henry was mediocre, and Elysium was dogshit.

The rest are good though
>>
>>85991737

It wasn't exactly a rip-off. Snake was supposed to space in the third movie.
>>
>>85991947
The entire 3rd act of Inception was nonstop action, but I mostly put it on the list because I just love it.

Hardcore Henry was essentially a B movie, but it accomplished what it set out to do - be a mindless nonstop action flick.

Elysium was a mediocre movie, but the action scenes in it were fucking great, and I loved the aesthetic.
>>
I think Kingsman had alright action.

Especially that church season, he just slaughtered those guys.
>>
>>85988732
Fuck off. There is no way that movie could have been made for anything like that budget if they had to stop and mop the floor, change clothes, and plant a load more squbs.
It's a shame, yes, but it wouldn't have happened at all with bloodsqubs.

It's a scene that reaffirms Nux's belief in Valhalla, seeing his brothers ascend into a fiery explosion, and the non-believers being cast down to the Earth. In a brief moment, you can see his entire motivation light up in his eyes, as he kicks the car into fifth gear and is ready to suicide bomb himself for his beliefs.

They're older than 10 years now, but Crank 1 and 2 are better action movies than pretty much everything mentioned ITT, aside from Fury Road, The Raid and John Wick.

i didn't enjoy any of these movies, actors saved john wick to an extent desu
>>
>>85990502
Shut the fuck up, stop lumping period pieces with midbrow award winners. Period pieces need everything but discouragement right now, nobody wants them made because everyone thinks their 'boring'. Its because no decent director has taken one on for 15 years and asking the normies that fund hollywood to enjoy a movie made before 2000 that isn't star wars or similar manchild magnets is impossible

>tfw when you'll never get another movie like Barry Lyndon
>>
>>85993115
Top kek, have you ever been in a sandstorm? Sure there isn't usually lightning, but it's for cinematic effect, it's an apocalyptic setting so I'm willing to give it a pass for the otherworldly effect.

I'll take your desperate attempt at feigning ignorance as a tap out, but heck if you want to keep going let's keep going, name another scene and I'll blow you the fuck out again :^)
>>
>>85993353
O-ok...
>>
>>85993185
Your definition of "saved" is bizarro. The acting is what destroyed john wick. The atrocious plot might have worked if the actors had any ability.

yes lets all feel for Nux but feel nothing when hundreds of other war boys around him are being killed for the sake of 4 women we know nothing about
>and give them a chance to make the people he once lived above a chance to have a better life.
they literally killed everyone else or left them to die in the desert, you imbecile
>The daughters take the seeds that will one day help heal the world.
oh wow this subplot was so poorly explained and thought out that I forgot it even existed
>With a good soundtrack including a more melancholy version of Nux's theme, the same song used in the sandstorm.
the entire soundtrack was mediocre, and without the drum portions it would be utter dogshit
>And to tie it all together, an entirely practical effect with the rig flipping, one of the most dangerous stunts done in the movie, which almost killed the driver.

>Contradictory argument after you said there was no character development, Nux sees more good in the women than in the Immortan.
>Literally nothing wrong with the scene, is meant to show anger and grief in the Immortan. Also a good segway between scenes with our protagonists.
>Nothing wrong with filters, its necessary to keep a movie filmed entirely in a desert interesting, and the film is beautiful in black and white as well. It was filmed for a filter.

>1: The film establishes a lot of heroism around the warboys, they spend a lot of time with them in the beginning. The film is trying to show how good people can be tricked into doing bad things, and that if the army was allowed through, one of the Immortan's children like Erectus would naturally take over and nothing would change. The war boys are basically 'running on empty', so they'd not live much longer anyways.

Actually, I'm glad that no other movies based on the book will be made because it will turn out to be utter trash in the current climate of producing Hollywood blockbusters. I would hate a terrible sequel to ruin that masterpiece. People are mostly plebs and won't appreciate movies like that so why bother.

The books are excellent and there's like 20 of them.

you unironically think that 4 women's lives are more important than hundreds of young men's lives
>2: I mean the people below begging for water dingus.
yep just ignore everyone in the convoy that they left for dead
>3: A subplot given as many scenes as it's relevant to the overall story, is meant to give hope, not to give some deeper message.
it's meant to give the audience another reason to root for the "protagonists" but it fails miserably

Listen to the ost again then come back and say to me that it was anything other than shit.
