Movies are a great type of medium. Just like any other type of medium, it could be terrible if done wrong.  How do you know if a movie is bad? Well it depends on who’s watching it. Some people said the original “Spider-Man” was a good movie while others criticized it, but you will never hear anyone say that “The Godfather” was a terrible movie.

I’ve been an avid movie watcher ever since my father started showing me Asian martial arts films staring the classic Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li. It was my dream to become like them, fighting more than one person at a time and kicking everyone’s butt. Avenging the death of a sensei (Japanese for master) also gave some emotion and story to the film(s) so you wouldn’t be watching some lunatic punching everyone he sees.

Asian martial arts films were a start for me, but then I started to transition to the other sub-genres of action films. And yes, martial arts films are a sub-genre of action films. You can notice how Asian films started influencing Hollywood movies specifically through the transformation of action films. Bruce Lee was a big name to bring change to Hollywood by having awesome fights rather than the classic Western bar brawls. Jackie Chan was the other by adding comedy to serious fights. 
Throughout the action films I’ve seen so far, not every movie is alike. One action film could be missing something all other action films have, and one action film can have something new that action films never had before. If you wanted to make a movie that’s cool and badass, you have to make an action film because other genres don’t give that cool and badass feeling.

My blog, technically, my team’s blog is going to cover interesting topics you may have or haven’t heard about action films, and we will try to go into detail as much as we can. What our goal is to have you check our blog daily because we would love to have an audience. So stick around until our next adventure right here on Guns, Girl, Action!
