Top 5 Best Action Movies


Hmm i like to watch the fenomenal movie. So i just tell you what the top 5 best action movies. Hope you also like..


1. 'The Raid: Redemption' (Indonesia)

There is no way a list of the best of 2012 cannot contain The Raid: Redemption. Made in 2011 but only unleashed on the U.S. in 2012 with a new soundtrack by Joseph Trapanese and Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda,The Raid is like crack cocaine for an action junkie. It is almost exclusively hand-to-hand combat featuring Pencak Silat, a style of martial arts not widely known in the West. The film is an adrenaline rush that
icks into high gear almost immediately and never slows down. One note, though, is that the best action films seem to come from whichever country is new at it and hasn't yet set up stunt men unions to protect those involved in the action. The Korean documentary Action Boys called attention to the dangers of an  nregulated stunt industry. So I hope no one was injured on this amazing film because the action is truly spectacular and I want to be able to enjoy it fully.

Best action scene: The fight between Mad Dog and the two brothers at the end, it is guaranteed to exhaust you.

2. 'The Avengers'

No American film better exemplified the action genre that Joss Whedon's The Avengers. Whedon is a self-confessed comic book geek and he knew exactly how to make a film to please comic book fans. He gets the characters right, the storytelling right, and the action right. We had all the back stories for the superheroes taken care of in previous films soThe Avengers could just jump right into the action with little set up. Whedon was able to deliver massive action scenes but with a sense of what the human stakes are. He also allows each superhero to maintain his or her personality while engaged in battle. This may be the most perfect comic book movie ever.

Best action scene: Hulk flip flopping Loki like a sack of potatoes and dismissing him as a "puny god."


3. 'The Dark Knight Rises'

The last film in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy is not quite as satisfying as The Dark Knight but it is a solid conclusion to a great comic book adaptation. Tom Hardy makes an ominous and physically imposing villain. When he enters the frame, you worry about anything that might get in his way. This is a tale of rehabilitation and moving on, and I'd be happy to see a follow up film with Joseph Gordon-Levitt carrying on as Robin.

Best action scene: Batman and Bane going at it, although a more intense hand-to-hand combat scene would have been better.

4. 'Skyfall'

This is another tale of rehabilitation. The third film in the rebooted James Bond franchise with Daniel Craig as 007 is the year's smartest and classiest action film. It doesn't have a lot of action but it is so well made and immerses us so cleverly in the world of Bond (both the Bond of the past and the Bond we hope to see in the future), that we are fully engaged in the story. Think of it as the Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy of action films -- one that gets your brain working as well as the adrenaline pumping. The film focuses on a Bond on the mend but he has a couple of solid action scenes (one humorously involving a Komodo dragon and another in a quick shoot-out on the villain's secluded island). Craig is the grittiest, most physically buff Bond, and the one most rooted in real world violence. So it's nice to see an action film that acknowledges that there can be painful consequences to being involved in violent action.

Best action scene: Javier Bardem's Silva blowing a hole in the underground tunnel and just missing Bond. When Bond jokes that he hopes that wasn't for him Silva says, "No, but this is." And a train comes speeding through the bombed-out hole right at 007

5. 'Django Unchained'




Here's an action film that's more about blood flow and gunplay. But director Quentin Tarantino has such a visual flair for violence that Django Unchained had to be included. The film draws inspiration from two genres: Italian spaghetti Westerns and blaxploitation films of the '70s. The former is all about brutal violence and people set against landscapes, and the latter is about over the top style and African Americans defining their own genre. In an unexpected way, Tarantino may give us the most visceral sense of what slavery was like because he's willing to be politically incorrect and violent. But he successfully conveys how oppressive it must have been to be owned by someone else and treated as nothing more than property. But as he did inInglorious Basterds by letting Jews settle their score with Hitler, Tarantino provides a revenge fantasy for a slave on a journey to freedom.

Best action scene: Jamie Foxx's Django in an epic battle.
