Memorable Action Films That Were Released In Recent Memory

Action movies are as popular as they have ever been

. In general, the summer and Christmas seasons are primetime for going to the movies and seeing the best action sequences Hollywood has to offer. If you want to see superheroes, explosions and mind blowing CGI, this is the time to go to the movies.

There have been many great action movies in recent years, but the following are some of my favorites.

The Dark Knight had everything an action movie ought to have. There was suspense, explosions, and several stunts that we have never seen before. Not all action movies are actually great films, but The Dark Knight received a ton of critical acclaim, and with good reason.

Speaking of movies involving heroes, the second Matrix film also blew away my expectations (visually, at least). There is a car chase scene in this film where Carrie Anne Moss is driving a motorcycle on the freeway into incoming traffic that is crazy to watch.

Avatar very well might be the greatest action film I have ever seen. The combination of a foreign planet and revolutionary 3D technology created an experience we, as movie viewers, have never seen before. I cannot wait to see what the sequel will bring.

Another film that was action packed while satisfying critics and audiences around the world was Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King. Peter Jackson pulled out all the stops with the final story in this epic trilogy, and as a result, the film won the Oscar for best picture of the year.

Give Michael Bay credit where its due. The guy may not make quality movies, but he knows action. The latest Transformers movie did not disappoint with action scenes and left my jaw open several times.

These are just some of the best action films of the past few years. More to come soon.
