The Matrix fucking ruined action movies.

Okay. :( Wanna sound "edgy AF"? :unsure:

How could a movie ruin action movies that is in itself nothing more than a nod to Hong Kong action cinema? The Matrix was inspired by John Woo movies and stuff like Gordon Chan's Fist of Legend (hell, they used the choreographer from Fist of Legend so on the link I sent ya you can basically rewatch Neo's dojo fight with Morpheus). it's basically a Hong Kong action movie with a sci-fi setting that makes it easier to suspend your disbelief. It aged a bit badly, it's not as "cool" anymore as it was in the 90s but I think it's genius that they could have have over-the-top wire work and whatnot in a Hollywood action movie because they came up with a setting that makes it possible.

Anyway if you wanna find out what "ruined action movies" then I guess you're searching for the guy who popularized the Hong Kong style martial arts action in Hollywood: Bruce Lee. You don't like Bruce Lee? That sucks, man and anyway: saying that you don't like action movies that rely on fight choreography is fine (I mean it's sad but at least you're not insulting the taste of others) but stating that wildly successful, critically acclaimed audience darlings like The Matrix and Kill Bill are garbage is a bit too over-the-top, wouldn't you agree? I mean a had a good laugh and all but come on.

So Kill Bill sucks but a movie like Red Sonja that starts with a horribly acted scene where Bridget fuckin' Nielsen is pointlessly slashing away at Arnold with a plastic sword is great action? Man, nostalgia is a terrible fucking thing, that movie is worse than Conan the Destroyer.

Kill Bill is ... not a bad movie. My main problem with, especially the second one, is the use of music that was specifically made for other movies. All the morricone music he uses was made for 60s spaghetti westerns : il mercenario, il tramonto, Death Rides A Horse, ... It feels so cheap...

Atomic Blonde was okay I guess...

But I agree with many, that the great action movies are long behind us: Terminator 2, Mad Max 2, The Killer, Hard Boiled, Aliens, Assault on Precinct 13 (1976), Die Hard, Robocop, Speed, Lethal Weapon, ...

Will you hate me if I say that I think Mad Max 4 was better than Mad Max 2? :( I mean I love MM2 and in some ways I like that it feels more realistic and down to Earth than Fury Road but man, Fury Road is the best fucking thing since Terminator 2.

The problem with these lame ass fucking movies is they are over choreographed.

I won't hate you and I do agree that Mad Max 4 is a VERY good movie. But it's not the masterpiece that is Mad Max 2 ;-)

That's just my opinion though :(

I'm supposed to believe we're in a world where gasoline is so scarce people will kill you over it, yet everyone is driving gas guzzling hummers and shooting fire out of guitars? It's a dumb movie for normies.

You live in a world where Hillary Clinton is not in jail, and you have an issue with a small suspension of disbelief over bio-fuels made from algae and bacon grease?

And maneuvering swiftly into the Back On Topic lane of the highway.....

Any further word on this possible comeback of No One Lives Forever? Given how everyone's favorite fan game-hating juggernaut of a video game company is trying to crush emulation, I figured we could use some good news this early on in the week....

NOLF were great games, the free fall level and the fight in the trailer home during a tornado were brilliant ideas.

When I was a kid I actually just kept reloading and replaying the free falling part for hours. :rolleyes:
