I'm not sure if this has been posted, but IGN just posted a pretty cool article about their top 10 action Blu Rays:

Really glad to see The Rundown on there, underrated flick and the disc is a stunner.

bond >> bourne for action???

EDIT:
"We've defined action in the purest sense of the genre. At the risk of getting too detailed, we are including war movies and sword-and-sandal flicks."

Then Band of Brothers is #1 (War TV-Series , cough cough

I was suprised not to see T2, Total Recall but can't tell from the article if he's judging the movie, disk, or both.

Original Terminator is more of a horror film. T2 is an action film and would probably be on the list if the release was better, say like the Japanese Geneon release or the new release coming next month.

Can someone please post the list for those of us who work for a living and have this site blocked? Thx.

The Bourne Trilogy was 6 on the list.

ummm..."shoot 'em up" and "crank" anyone?

hostelmovies · 04-23-2009, 07:19 PM

I do own every movie on that list on Blu-Ray.

I have one question.

WHERE THE "F" IS KILL BILL?

surfdude12 · 04-23-2009, 07:24 PM

Kingdom of Heaven was not an "action" movie. Many critics noted that about it, how it had more drama than your typical Gladiator/Troy/etc. I liked that about it.

The whole "battle scene" where the "good guy" somehow survives countless death blows, and finds the "bad guy" (who coincidentally also survives), and they meet in an "open area" somehow formed among thousands of packed swining dudes...is overplayed and tired.

Not the biggest Blockbuster, but Rambo 2008...is the ultimate action movie. No guts, no glory baby.
