Fantastic Action Films That Were Released In The Last Decade
Over the past few years, action movies have taken huge steps forward. The budgets are as big as they have ever been, and visual effects have become so impressive that action movies often make us wonder if what we are watching actually happened.
There have been many great action movies in recent years, but the following are some of my favorites.
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.
Give Michael Bay credit where its due. The guy may not make quality movies, but he knows action. The latest Transformers movie did not disappoint with action scenes and left my jaw open several times.
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.
