Characters from The Last Airbender, Samurai Cop, and Superman IV
If you want excitement, impressive stunt work, or explosions, then the action genre tends to be a good place to look. Sometimes, even great action films are looked down upon a little, or potentially snubbed by awards shows, but the genre remains popular among general audiences for good reason. Further, some of the greatest films in cinema history do belong to the action genre; see the likes of Seven Samurai, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, for starters.
✕ Remove Ads Throwing in more characters while also removing anything by way of grit, salty language, or actual bloodshed, The Expendables 3 felt toothless, lifeless, and just a bit sad, in the end. It was a movie that flailed about, seemed unwilling to scratch the same itches the first two movies kind of did, and has been pretty much entirely forgotten 10 years later. It should’ve been forgotten 10 years sooner, in all honesty.
There are lots of famous people who show up throughout Machete Kills, and they're all kind of wasted. But there’s over-the-top action, right? Kind of, but it’s not fun. It’s all blandly shot, repetitive, and less satisfying than the gruesome gunfights and brawls found in the first movie. If you want more Machete, just rewatch Machete.
The action in Sniper: Special Ops is ludicrously repetitive, and Seagal gives one of the least-committed performances you're ever likely to see from someone starring in an action movie . It’s all so tepid that it can kind of work as an accidental understated comedy at points, but then other parts of Sniper: Special Ops are also very boring. Even with a runtime under 90 minutes, it can often be a slog to get through, outside some of those funny parts.
✕ Remove Ads The filmmakers knew they were making something stupid here, but they could’ve at least tried to make it stupid in a fun way. Instead, Ape vs. Monster is soul-crushing; both watching it and pondering its sheer existence are, at least. There might be ways to make a low-budget rip-off of something as dumb as Godzilla vs. Kong like a 3/10 instead of a 1/10, but few movies have deserved the latter rating quite as much as Ape vs. Monster.
