Last Action Hero?
As I was watching the second half of The Chronicles of Riddick last night (which somehow gets 6.3/10 on imdb.com despite being utterly rubbish. Commando is only worth a 6 according to the imdb community - fairly conclusive proof that people are idiots.), I was wondering what happened to good old fashioned musclebound action movie heroes? Back in the 80's you had Sly and Arnie leading the way with a string of enjoyable movies. Even the shit action stars (Dolph and Jean Claude) were entertaining. Who is there nowadays? The Rock, Jason Statham or Vin Diesel are all i can think of. Which is certainly not the most impressive of lists. The fact that Stallone is still able to make action movies despite being ancient is an indication of how poor the current crop is.
I want more 80s style action movies.
