What is a action movies?
Action movies is a movie genre in which the protagonist or
protagonists end up in a series of challenges that typically include violence,
close combat, physical feats and frantic chases. Action films tend to feature a
resourceful hero struggling against incredible odds, which include
life-threatening situations, a villain, or a pursuit which generally concludes
in victory for the hero.
Action movies usually involve a very straightforward
storyline like good guys versus bad guys, where most disagreements in the movie
are resolved by physical force. What makes action films so popular is that it
contains large quality of martial arts movements, large explosions and cool
gadgets.
Many action films are derived from crime movies and thriller
movies. Exactly who are the good guys differs from movie to movie, but most
Hollywood made films usually is patriotic and rather conservative, whereas the
bad guys are usually either criminals or agents of foreign powers.
