I've had some favorite action movies like "Wanted", "Transformers", and "Hancock", but I am not a big fan of those with too much guns and explosions like Bond movies. They're just too hard for me I think, and sometimes the plot is just complicated. How about you? Do you love action movies? What is your favorite then? If not, what's your type of movie?

Yes, I love action movies.. I have seen all those that you have mentioned.. I don't know if I have a favorite. I have some things that I love to watch over and over at home. one of them is Danger Zone with Billy Zane and Robert Downey Jr.

Is Billy Zane the one in Titanic? That guy looks pretty villainous. LOL. Robert Downey is doing good in movies these days. Sherlock Holmes is getting good feedbacks from people.

Yes, Billy is the one in titanic.. he doesn't often play a bad guy.. or if he does.. like in the Twilight Zone movie.. it's pretty funny. I love them both.. I am a BIG RDJ fan, and since Billy was in a few movies with him.. that is how i got to be a Billy Zane fan too!

Hahaha, nice story! I really hated him at Titanic. I remember his face was really anger-invoking. LOL. I loved the scene where Rose spat right at his face.

I haven't watched Transformers 2, but a lot of people are saying that the first one is better.

I like action movies, usually the ones with crazy stunts and clever plot. The last action movie that I really liked was "Taken" with Liam Neeson. Watch it, I know you will like it.

I was actually expecting that movie to come up here. =) My friends told me they really like it, though they themselves are not action buffs. Okay, I will give it a watch. :) Sounds like it's really good.

I don't like so much violence and fight scenes. I like some action movies like the movies done by Jackie Chan. I hate too bloody fight scenes and killings. I like some action movies that is not brutal like Transformers.

I just watched Taken, and LOL, it was kinda brutal. But you were right. I liked it. :-) I love how the character of Liam exerted efforts to save his daughter.

I like action movies but only if they have some substance to them like a good storyline and not just all over the top action sequences and CGI. So you probably guessed by that I didn't like "Transformers" and wasn't that impressed with "Hancock" either. But then I do like the new Bond movies and also the Bourne movies. But I would have to say my favourite action movie is probably Commando, it may be seriously corny and dated but it did have some great action sequences in it.

I guess you are some sort of a movie critic, I've seen your profile and you must really love movies. Well, we do have different preferences, so that's fine with me. :) I'm really not the type to watch Bond or Bourne movies.

I want to watch that boondock saints 2 movie. Its full of good action. I just saw the trailer and it looked pretty good. Although I have only heard about it on the internet. It seems I never seen it out on tv or publicly at the theaters.

So you like sci-fi movies? Of those that you said I only like Harry Potter. I'm not a big fan of sci-fi movie as well, but if the movie's got a really good plot then I will give it a try.

I like some but not all action movies. My favorite is The Long Kiss Goodnight with Samuel Jackson. It surprises you, because it doesn't start out giving the impression it is going to be a big action movie and by the end you are amazed by some of the stuff that actually happens to them.
