Eva Green and Craig have great chemistry together. Unlike Lea Seydoux in SPECTRE.

I maintain that any Bond fan must have Casino Royale in their Top 5.

The Bourne trilogy does suffer a lot from the "Which one was that?" syndrome

It did introduce us to Rose Bryne. So there's that.

The battle scene when the Greeks first land on the beach was no slouch either. And the duel that introduces Achilles is still remembered fondly. That movie was boring in parts, because the melodrama was too ham-handed, but the action scenes were pretty much all great.

I'll give a shout out to Troy mainly because of the fight between Hector and Achilles. Eric Bana was terrific in that movie.

Greengrass is one the few Directors that can do Shaky Cam well. For a clear idea on how NOT to do Shaky Cam, check out Columbiana and Taken 2 & 3.

I think that's always the legacy of great action movies. The Matrix was great, but it inspired the annoying trend of meaningless bullet-time action in movies like the Resident Evil series. Die Hard was great, and it inspired a bunch of shitty (And a few awesome) 'Die-hard-on-a-blank' movies.

Both the best and worst thing to happen to action cinema in the past couple of decades. Best because it's fucking great, worst because it began the era of "fuck it, we'll just shake the camera and cut really quickly". (Though the sequels are far greater offenders in this regard.)

Upvoted just for Grosse Pointe Blank. God I love that movie. He takes out Felix LaPubelle with a pen!

"…Con Air, which is more dumb than fun…"

Ahh, 1997, the year that should've smothered George Clooney's movie career in its crib.

You'd think that Schwarzenegger—who makes up for not quite being able to act by just being great at being Arnold Schwarzenegger—would be a terrible choice for a movie where the protagonist starts out as an everyman, then has a brain-scrambling freak-out, then may or may not be a heroic freedom fighter and/or an evil…

In a weird way, he was the only one who could have starred in Recall. Schwarzenegger stands out apart from other action stars (like say Van Damme or Seagal) because he was never afraid of being over-the-top and ridiculous. So the crazier a movie gets, Arnold's able to keep up and hold our interest.

I think the reason Schwarzenegger's star lasted as long as it did was he always found projects that utilized his skills as an indestructible killbot but also weren't hurt by having decent supporting characters and a plot.

Seriously, you watch it today and it's just so damn….perfect. The beats, the tension, the action, Rickman's performance is glorious on every watching. Willis is amazing, selling the agony John goes through (which the sequels failed to understand, we WANT him battered and bloody and not a superman) and never giving up.…

That's how I get through a lot of interminable staff meetings.

Robocop makes more sense being turned into a cartoon. Hero cop in a robo suit! Shoot, that's basically C.O.P.S.! The rated R-movie that made no sense being a kids cartoon was Toxic Avenger.

Here's a taste.

I'm Australian, I didn't even realise there was a dubbed version till recently (Around fury roads release). I've really gotta track ti down to see just… what the actual fuck is going on there.
