Since the turn of the century, there has been no shortage of action movies. After all, it is one of the most popular film genres in the world. This may be one of the hardest to get right because there was no shortage of bad action movies even before streamers like Netflix and Prime Video started making their own bad action movies.
So why take the time to watch a bad action movie when you can watch a good action movie? Because sometimes it can be fun to watch bad movies just to laugh at how terrible they are. The following list does not include the greatest action movies of all time, but they are still entertaining enough to watch.
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)
It seems like no one in the studio ever asked two important questions Ballistik: Eks vs Sevres: “Who are Eeks and Saver? “And why would they care if people fight?” While the film introduces audiences to FBI agent Jeremiah Did not succeed. Even the relatively few people who saw this turkey in theaters didn’t find much to see.
Surely director Vich Kaosyananda didn’t plan to make one of the worst films ever made (which has a rare 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes). But that’s why it’s worth a second look. It’s never as bad as it is good, but there’s a lot of comedic value to be found in watching this movie with friends.
Ballistik: Eks vs Sevres Completely unavailable online.
Blade: Trinity (2004)
First blade The film promoted superhero films two years ago X Men The modern era of comic book cinema officially began. blade ii Has the distinction of being Guillermo del Toro’s warm-up for bad boy, And blade Trinity … Present. It stars Wesley Snipes and second-time director David S. More famous for the behind-the-scenes clashes between Goyars. It certainly didn’t help blade Trinity Stay consistent with the previous two films.
This is also a transparent trick in film making night walkers Spinoff film starring Ryan Reynolds’ Hannibal King (a real comic book character) and Jessica Biel’s Abigail Whistler (a character invented for the film). The problem is that they weren’t any more attractive than Blade, and the Nightstalkers sucked the oxygen out of every scene they were in.
The reason you should still watch it is because it’s a master class on how to tank a franchise, from classic villains like Dominic Purcell’s Dracula (whom the film renames “Drake”) to WWE wrestler Triple H. Is included. An attempt at Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson-like stardom with a small role as one of the supporting villains. But a great film can be made blade TrinityIf anyone ever dares to tell that story.
Watch blade Trinity On max.
Marine (2006)
The idea of wrestler John Cena as an action star did not come out of nowhere. WWE tried to do this during the era when it first started WWE Studios to create films starring its wrestlers. marine It was Cena’s first starring role in a film, and it shows. In the film, Cena plays Sergeant John Tritton, a marine who is honorably discharged after disobeying orders to rescue hostages in the Middle East.
Back in America, John and his wife, Kate Tryon (Kelly Carlson), are in the wrong place at the wrong time when they flee from a group of jewel thieves led by Rom (terminator 2Robert Patrick). When Rome kidnaps Kate, John spends the entire film chasing the gang to get her back. It’s nothing like a good movie, but it has some unintentionally hilarious bad writing that makes the experience worthwhile.
Watch marine It’s tubby.
Terminator Salvation (2009)
The 21st century has not been kind to the Terminator franchise, with no great films being made since terminator 2 In 1991. But among the truly terrible sequels, Terminator Salvation Looks quite good compared to others. What’s really special about this movie is that it actually tries to move the narrative forward and show audiences something they didn’t see in the first three movies: John Connor (Christian Bale) is the last of humanity in the future. War against machines as one of the hopes.
Almost everything around John is great, including his private moments of listening to tapes of his late mother, Sarah (as voiced by Linda Hamilton), when John realizes that the machines are destroying his life. He panics when she finds out that she is targeting the father, Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin). ), as if they know why he’s so important to the timeline. Where the film ends is by dividing the focus between John and Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), the first Terminator/human hybrid. Marcus is less charming than John, but this movie is still years ahead of him terminator The films that came after this.

Van Helsing (2004)
2017 reboot Mother He gets all the blame for tanking the Dark Universe of the famous Universal Monsters, but Van Helsing Defeated it soundly 13 years ago. Stephen Sommers (director of the 1999 reboot Mother And mummy returns) tried to bring his humorous tone Mother films on the dracula mythos Van Helsing, And it really didn’t work well at all.
If there’s a saving grace for Van HelsingThese two leads are: Hugh Jackman (deadpool 3) as Gabriel Van Helsing and Kate Beckinsale as Anna Valerius. This movie is too silly to ever be scary or suspenseful, but it’s at least fun to watch Jackman and Beckinsale. Even Dracula’s brides add some unintentional hilarity that helps it go down. But the sad thing about modern movies is Van Helsing Compared to many of the original action movies made for streamers, it looks like a masterpiece. At least it could be entertaining.
