Considered as one of the full action movies ever made, and the prototype of a modern action film, Die Hard set a new standard for the genre. Die Hard is about John McClane of NYPD and his mission against crime and terrorists.
Die Hard movies (stars Bruce Willis) has four series: Die hard 1 (1988), Die Hard 2: Die Harder (1990), Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), and the recent Live Free or Die Hard (2007).
All of the series is about John McClane and the difficult situations faced by a crime fighter. His action adventure starts from fighting the German terrorists in a high rise office building, to protecting the travelers in a major international airport invaded by a rebellious group of military commandos, then solving dangerous puzzle to save New York City from the hands of a revenging German terrorist he knocked down before, and the recent one where he had a battle with a group of internet hackers whose intention is to take down all the computer and technological structures (traffic control system, etc.) that supports the economy of the United States.
Every aspect in the movie is remarkable...the story, the acting, the direction, the production and of course, the impressive action scenes and pyrotechnics. Over-all it's really one of the best action movies in Hollywood.
The lead character- John McClane is one of the most distinguished action hero in Hollywood movies. Why? Because he fights without shoes, socks, or a regular shirt, armed only with a Beretta 92F pistol, and he is famous for this tagline:

  The Transformers was introduced by Hasbro, an American toy and game company, and became a popular figure in 1984. Kids and the young-at-hearts are very much hooked on it since it has a variety of robot design that transforms into various vehicles. It gained much popularity when the TV series was released on the same year. As time passed by, the Transformers transformed from a collection of action figures to cartoons, then started to be featured in comics and video games. It's a dream for those who loved these robots unconditionally (specifically the Autobots) to see these popular characters in full screen. When it was announced that the Transformers will be featured in a full-length live action movie (2007), it is expected that the Transformers fanatics will increase its numbers- as the most awaited and expected to be one of the best action movies sets-off the cinemas world-wide. This is directed by Michael Bay (who is known more for intense action sequences) and produced by equally popular producer Steven Spielberg. The movie stars Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky, who has the data that locate Allspark, an important object being the center of the war between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons. Other casts of the movie are Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Jon Voight, John Turturro, and Hugo Weaving(voice of Megatron) and Peter Cullen (voice of Optimus Prime). As for the other action movies, there's always a battle between good and evil. Aside from the clash between the Autobots (Optimus Prime as the head robot) against the evil Decepticons (Megatron as their leader), Transformers movie has a combination of a light comedy and action in the movie that made it more appealing to the audience. Autobots are interacting with the cast in the movie and it's like for real (CGI or Computer-generated imagery is probably the secret of designing those robots). The fight scenes between the Autobots and Decepticons is the highlight of this action-packed movie and everybody is astounded by what they see on screen. The battle between the Autobots and Decepticons will leave viewers drained but cheering. Transformers is an action film, but surprisingly has a touching and uplifting elements. The movie isn't just about the robots, it's also about being brave to save the humanity against the dark forces. That may be the reasons why I consider it as one of the best action movies of all time. |

About the movie:
The Terminator, released in 1984, is a science-fiction action movie about a seemingly indestructible cyborg assassin that was sent from the future for a deadly mission. The Terminator's task is to kill Sarah Conor and his unborn son because it will play a significant role in the future against the machines.
James Cameron, an Academy Award winning director and producer had created the concept of the terminator characters. Sequels of The Terminator are Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) which stars Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It's hard to believe that the first Terminator movie has a low production cost but the quality of the movie and all its elements are well made.
The Terminator movie series were all set in a future where machines are having war against man for the desire to dominate the human race. Having the robots as one of the main characters in this movie series, made this film captivating. There is a science fiction element on each movie and the technology helped the cyborg characters to look authentic. The design of the cyborgs seem very realistic and convincing. The special effects and action sequences of the Terminator movies stands out. The theme is presented well, having the human qualities in each film, projecting what's more important than anything else.
The Terminator series are those that can be considered as classic movies...movies that never grow old. Simply one of the best action movies ever made.

About the movie:
RoboCop is a 1987 action movie about a cyborg police officer created to control the Motor City known as Detroit that has been ruled by criminals and a gang of cop killers. It is both an action and science fiction movie that features advanced science and cybernetics.
The movie stars Peter Weller as RoboCop, Nancy Allen, Dan O'Herlihy, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, and Miguel Ferrer. RoboCop was directed by a Dutch Film director Paul Verhoeven.
Robocop is about a good police officer that was brought back to life after being killed by feared gang leader in Detroit. The Omni Consumer Products (OCP) that runs Detroit Police Department, offers a new solution against the well-armed criminals in the city by building an almost inexterminable ED 209 robot combining the body of Murphy with the high tech gadgets and weaponry to dispatch the city criminals. The scientists rewires Murphy's brains with computer chips for communication control and self-organization system that blocks up his memories. However, his former partner, Officer Lewis recognized RoboCop's body that started to reveal his true identity.
RoboCop film has a well-written plot and action-packed stunts, a very fitting entertainment for the action movie aficionados.
It's also entertaining that there's a heart breaking scene in this movie where RoboCop visits his former house without the chance of getting back what he had left before.
This may be the first high-profile movie directed by Verhoeven but it was directed well with a sense of smooth style and appeal that made RoboCop a great action movie. By its good remarks, it is considered as one of the best action movies of its genre and it was followed by movie sequels and RoboCop TV series.

Mel Gibson
Michael Preston
Bruce Spence
Vernon Wells
Kjell Nilsson
Virginia Hey
Emil Minty
Director:
George Miller
About the movie:
Mad Max 2 (1981; also known as The Road Warrior), is a follow-up movie of Miller's sci-fi action movie Mad Max (1979). It's a post-apocalyptic action movie that eventually became a cult classic.
This is the continuation of Max's adventure and the summary of the events happened on the first movie that shed light on the political situation of the world - that a war has occurred. It features Max's life after the he loss his wife and son. This sequel is more intense than the predeccessor and the world's standing become worse. The highlight of this film is the pulse-pounding and breath-taking car chases, probably one of the greatest movies involving cars.
The movie has a stunning action sequences without a single ounce of computer graphics that is equally impressive by today's standards in action movies. It's a follow up movie that's even more exciting and intense than the first one and really a must-see for action buffs.
