It isn't a lost art, but good quality action movies are few and far between these days.
That's why we need to support them when they come out.
Hudson Gomez
Nope
Dominic Cruz
Back to Sup Forumseddit.
Grayson Morgan
Thats just the most current example i can keep going fag
Justin Morales
It's mostly lost. You can instantly recognize when a non-action director is making an action movie.
Sebastian Martin
this, the raid movies, and hardcore henry are proof the art is still alive and well
unless you're some jaded fuck like in which case you have no business trying to enjoy action movies to begin with
Jace Foster
The guy on the right had a giant mole hair in the middle of his face. Made this movie twice better.
Isaac Mitchell
>and well
I wouldn't go that far. They are obviously way past their prime.

Nope.

Action stars today just don't have the same charm and charisma as the ones from years ago. Only The Rock does but his films are kind of meh.
Austin Lewis
on a rewatch Face/Off is awful, not even O&A bias, every action scene is stuntmen stuntmen stuntmen ZOOM IN ON ACTUAL ACTORS stuntmen stuntmen stuntmen
The Big Hit is Woo's best American movie overall but MI2 has his best action sequence for the ending
Parker Hill
John Wick, The Raid, Fury Road - it's not lost, but good action isn't as common as it once was.
Justin Sullivan
It's still around, you just need to know where to look.
John Martin
Please don't compare McTiernan's masterpiece with Hard to Kill.
Luis Roberts
>The Big Hit
Made by Kirk Wong
I despise shit like John Wick, The Raid and Crank. Obviously made by people with ADHD raised on video games. They're choreographies and set pieces without actual filmmaking. John Woo adored Leone and Melville, McTiernan studied Truffaut and Fellini. It wasn't just about the action.
Colton Perry
>Made by Kirk Wong
Yeah but he produced it, I'll still give him props.
Ethan Gonzalez
and face off

Die Hard was released in July? I thought it was a Christmas movie?

Henry Young

>8 years ago
Nicholas Fisher

Nicholas Mitchell
Christmas movies don't have to come out at Christmas time.
Brody Smith
You'd love Face/OFF if it were made in Hong Kong though you fucking loser
Nathaniel Carter
Most of 90s movies have bad potsers but holy fuck that Hard to Kill poster is laughably atrocious
Oliver Hernandez
>Is cinema a lost art?
Yes.
Ayden Wood
not him but srsrly, face/off sucks, and most hong kong movies suck, on a story basis. and you know what? I been trying to get into korean gangster/crime movies, and im not really digging it so much. it SEEMS like style over substance to me with stories that arent really that great but I may be a fucking plebe
your opinion on the inside men?

John Wick 2 nigga.
Actionkino is in its current sorry state because Hollywood demands every movie to be PG to rake in as many shekels as possible.
Adrian Green
>this is what having good taste looks like to me
i aint saying its not an entertaining movie, but OP asks if fucking action cinema is alive and well, I think it and horror are doing fucking terrible. Sci-fi is doing a little better. In fact my favorite movie franchise currently are the new planet of the apes movies, cant wait for the new one
Ian Kelly
A simple yes would've done just fine
Jason Jones
Here I improved it.
