Matrix Revolutions had a great Zion battle action scene!!! by fabio 05/27/2016, 2:44pm PDT
I'm with Patrice O'Neal's opinion of puzzlement on why everyone says Waterworld was a terrible movie. Where was this "crap movie but ACTION SCENES!" attitude back then? The plot of Waterworld was serviceable and the action scenes/sets were top notch. What happened that now dog shit plots with lame actions scenes like JJ Abrams Star Trek movies get passes as "dumb fun"?

Pacific Rim even stunk in the action department. Every scene was dark with water spray covering the majority of action. Again, why couldn't the actual movie be the news clips where we got to see brief seconds of a much more interesting daylight fight?

How much time passed between the opening fight and the 2nd (aka the "real climax")? An hour? 80 minutes? Jesus what a dog shit boring slog. 80 minutes of the dud protagonist learning to love again, dealing with PTSD, dealing with cancer, dealing with budget cuts, and wacky unfunny scientist hijinks. They couldn't fill that time with anything remotely interesting? Practice bouts with the asshole Australian robot team? Satiric talk show interviews as teased in the news clips? Whoops, already blew the satire quota on the hamfisted immigrants/wall commentary.


Great plot, great action: Robocop, Diehard

meh plot, great action: Waterworld

Shit plot, great action: Rambo 4

Shit plot, shit action: Matrix sequels, Star Wars prequels, Transformers, Pacific Rim
