Everyone loves action movies thats a fact. The adrenaline rush of a well-edited and shot chase scene side-by-side with brutal fights that not only blow the brains out of enemies but out of us as viewers are probably why action movies storm to the top of many peoples watchlists.
The year 2019 has offered us a whole slew of good action flicks. Some made billions at the box office and others were simply good for passing the time while on a train ride or just chilling at home. Here are our top ten from the year!
Theres no way giant monsters fighting each other doesnt fall under the action category. Godzilla sports not only breathtaking visuals that captivated millions of viewers since the franchise started but also a stellar score that elevated every single scene.
Although the sequel did not entirely live up to its predecessor from 2014, it made for a pretty fun action flick that long-time fans adored as it was chock full of fan-service.
PerhapsGodzilla vs. Kongwill be the crossover of the year but we have to wait for a while before thenext instalment arrives in theatres what with the unfortunate delays and lack of marketing.
Double Tap is the long-awaited sequel to the 2009 film its a touch gory with zombies galore and that combination of genres makes for a thrilling joyride. This long-overdue successor is a fun-filled horror film that does not scare the kids off.
Theres little to no jump-scares which is a sight for sore eyes but theres also very few heart-pounding zombie chases meaning that it doesnt quite tick all of the boxes. Regardless, it makes for an entertaining movie if you just want to sit back and relax.
Another returning long-time franchise, Terminator: Dark Fate was a much-anticipated movie for this year. Arnold Schwarzeneggerand Linda Hamilton are back and suited up in glorious fashion, kicking ass and taking names with a slew of iconic catchphrases being thrown around like the kid theyre trying so hard to protect.
Theprevious installments of the series did not perform wellat the box office or critically and so some would say this is the first Terminator follow-up movie that gave justice to the original films, although its somewhat divisive.
It might be an understatement to say that putting Hobbs and Shaw onto a top ten list is unpopular, but the hate doesnt seem earned. Although, it does seem likewere past having years with no Fast & Furious movies. The very first spin-off,Hobbs & Shaw, is quite different from the rest of the franchise but brings the same level of energy and fun.
The bulky trio, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Jason Statham and Idris Elba, all had a fair share of the spotlight on them. But the best thing about the movie is Vanessa Kirby. She needs to have her own action movie ASAP.
No one expected a sequel to this series, much less a third one, but this year gave us another round of bullet-filled action starring Gerard Butler. If the first and second movies hailed him as the hero, this time hes a fugitive.
Weve seen a lot of plots similar to this but we need to acknowledge that the action-packed scenes are satisfying as they can get. The story may get platonic at times but were here for the thrill of the chase and not the narrative.
The movie just came out this month on Netflix and it shook uswhen we found out that its a Michael Bay film. This time theres no giant alien robots fighting or explosions galore, just Ryan Reynolds and his wolf pack of mercenaries kicking ass.
Imagine 20 minutes of car chases at the beginning of the movie thats more than an average persons attention span but here we are, following every beat of the soundtrack to the hum of roaring engines. Its truly phenomenal to behold.
In the aftermath of Avengers:Endgame, we saw Peter Parker cope with the loss of a father figure in Tony Stark. Using this as a weapon against him, Mysterio creates a mind-bending reality that leaves Parker at the edge of his life.
There are so many web-slinging action sequences that you can feel even in a two-dimensional screen. The visuals alone earn the adjective amazing and, to add more fun in it,we get to travelaround Europe rather than being stuck in New York City for the umpteenth time.
The end of a10year-longsagacalls for an epic war battle and we got to see the heroes we grew up watching in the last decade stand up against the evil might of Thanos. Every MCU moviein the past ten yearshas been leading us to this momentous event and it did not disappoint.
The real action is not evenin the movie, to be fair. Its in the millions of fans running towards the cinema to secure a seat. If you did not run, stumble and get stomped all over as I did, then wheres the action?
This movie surprisingly gave an outstanding performance in terms of visuals, storyline and action-packed sequences.James Camerons long gestating dream is finally brought to life in the form of a humanized alien robot named Alita.
Everyone seems to be utterly shocked on how much they enjoyed this movie. A sequel is still in talks and hopefully, well get to see more of the futuristic fantasy world that this Japanese manga-based movie has to offer.
At this point, no one should be surprised that John Wick made it to the top of this years action movies. Every instalment just keeps on giving its best. With the addition of Halle Berry and her hounds, well surely crave for more teeth-grinding action scenes.
The success ofParabellumwarrants the fourth movie and we cant waitto seewhat office supplies Mr. Wick will use next as his weapon.
