The X-men movies were pretty awesome, I loved Magneto and Mystique. More in the adventure-genre, I'm also a big fan of the first National Treasure movie. It was suprisingly funny and easy to watch, considering the riddles they come across

What are your favorite action movies? How much suspense is too much? What makes the best adventures? I know that these are separate genres, but they all seem very similar to me... so let's discuss! |

The A-Team was fab. And Resident Evil I think would count as well, even though they're horror too. I think the right amount of suspense is when you're jumping slightly in your chair cos you want to know what'll happen next. Too little or too much just gets annoying. |

^ Yes, the first National Treasure was great! I like that kind of movies. I liked the Da Vinci code too! |

^ Yes, the Da Vinci Code wasn't bad either. I though the book was better, but the movie was still enjoyable and it had the same action/adventure/riddle feeling as the book. I also loved "King Arthur" and "Robin Hood", which I think can be considered as historical action movies. |

Action movies. I've never been entirely sure what falls into that category, as loads of things seem to.  - National Treasure - The Dark Knight - The Fugituive - Skyfall - Casino Royale - Sherlock Holmes - Where Eagles Dare - The Eagle Has Landed - The Avengers - The Mummy - Indiana Jones |

My favorite action movie of all time is probably The Matrix. (The first one is the best, but the other two are ok as well.) I think that I like the series so much because it's not all focused on the action (although it has plenty of that) - it also raises deep philosophical ideas and makes them interesting for a wide audience, which is sometimes very hard to do. I also saw Gladiator recently - it wasn't my favorite movie and it was a little too gory for me at times. I did think that the storytelling was excellent and I loved how vivid it was and how you felt like you were really there in the action. Other movies... I agree with all of you who like National Treasure and Da Vinci Code - those are some of my favorites as well. JF, I also saw Skyfall and loved it (but it's the first James Bond movie I've seen, so I don't have anything to compare it to). And Indiana Jones is classic, but I never really got into those movies for some reason. --- New question: If you've seen 300, what did you think of it? That's an action movie that I think goes overboard... I liked the context of 300 (e.g. the political background) more than anything else. I don't really care for the slow-motion cartoon-character-like fight sequences they do in that movie - it seems less real that way. |

I know it's cheesy, but one of my favorite action (okay romcom action) movies is Mr. & Mrs. Smith. I just love Angelina Jolie's and Brad Pitt's chemistry in that! I saw Skyfall when it came out. It was pretty good, but I remember enjoying Casino Royale a lot more. Of the Dark Knight trilogy, my favorite is definitely The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger's Joker really gripped me. Gladiator is a great one, very sweeping. I really enjoyed V for Vendetta. I also liked the two Sherlock Holmes films with Robert Downey, Jr. (that man, yum), although I can't recall which one I preferred. Hanna was interesting. The soundtrack, locations, and Cate Blanchett were most memorable for me, but I think it's worth a watch. |

I have no idea how many times I've seen it. At least once a year since I was 6-7 and way more as an adult. Still not sure if I want to see it in 3D or not. Scared the magic will have disappeared. |
