Depending on your viewpoint, it’s either pretentiousy over-the-top or a great story mixed with impressively authentic detail. (The answer is ‘b’.)
Action
Escape To Victory
So bad it’s good. Unless you don’t like war films, Sly Stallone or football. In which case, what is wrong with you?
Prometheus
Ridley Scott sets up Prometheus perfectly, only to vomit up a very unsatisfactory conclusion. A missed opportunity.
Iron Man
Made when a one-man Robert Downey Jr. show was novel and a lot less annoying, Iron Man is a successfull comic book adaption with a nice balance of humour, plot and action.
Die Hard: With a Vengeance
Defying the laws of the threequel Die Hard: With A Vengeance is an original and enjoyable action thriller that may have even come close to the original. Yipee-kay-8-out-of-ten.
The Avengers
A far better superhero mash-up than it’s constituent parts would suggest, Joss Whedon’s The Avengers has surprisingly well-executed plot and action and comes across as entertaining and pretty funny.
