Action Archives - Shaken, Not Stirred

War for the Planet of the Apes

Decent end to new apes trilogy, War of the Planet of the Apes is pretty good drama with outstanding special effects.

Logan is serious, gritty and violent action drama and best superhero movie of the year

Logan is a different superhero movie that stands out from the competition – it is serious, gritty and violent R-rated (SF) action drama in which all parts are very well done. Best superhero movie of the year.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle is an overlong and poorly written sequel

A sequel to 2014 surprise hit, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, wants to be crazier, bigger and funnier than the original but unfortunately fails on all levels.

Justice League

Justice League is an awful movie with weak story and script, paper-thin characters, unfunny jokes, awful villains, terrible visuals and boring and generic action sequences.

Valerian and the City of Thousand Planets

Valerian and the City of Thousand Planets is a beautiful, visually rich and interesting movie. So it’s a shame story, characters and actors are not on the same level.

The Hitman’s Bodyguard

The Hitman’s Bodyguard is a watchable and mildly fun action movie with good action sequences and some well-shot scenes, and mediocre script and performances.

Atomic Blonde

A little overlong but solid action flick with generic spy story, good performances, atmosphere, visuals, soundtrack, and action scenes.

Spider-Man: Homecoming

Spider-Man: Homecoming is a watchable (and forgettable) superhero movie that is aimed at younger audience.

Baby Driver

A fun action movie with great use of music that stands out from the competition.

The Mummy (2017)

The Mummy (2017) is a really bad movie which makes Brendan Fraser Mummy look like a masterpiece.

Dunkirk

The last movie from Christopher Nolan (Memento, TDK trilogy, Inception, Prestige, Interstellar) received excellent reviews, some of them calling it maybe the best war movie ever. Well in my humble opinion it is one of the most disappointing movies of 2017.

Ghost In The Shell (2017)

Ghost in the shell is an adaptation of Japanese anime which tells a story about Major (Johansson), a human who is saved from a terrorist attack and is cyber-enhanced to be a perfect soldier devoted to fighting most dangerous criminals.

The Fate of the Furious

Eight entry (first one without Paul Walker) is not different from previous two films so if you liked them you’ll probably like this one too – it is a watchable action movie with a couple of good action sequences that you’ll forget two hours after you finish it.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is unfortunately not as good as the first one – it is a watchable and forgettable superhero movie with weak script and villains.
