What happened to action movie stars?

Maybe action movies are just boring :)

laugh if you want but dwayne johnson will be a action star also christian bale will be a action star he has batman and will be in the new terminator which is rumored to be a triology on the future part of the story.

things to blame like between spring and early fall movies that are rated r dont come out as much with little kids and parents wanting to take there kids to good movies. so like october through february is the better time for more hardcore action if you will but there just arent anymore stars.

statham, owen, johnson, bale, vin diesal come to mind as potential action stars. but your stallones, arnolds, and willis are just old and dont do it anymore same with your eastwoods and even harrison ford.

action is a dieing genre right now

cgi is still going strong and may still be the future with more of it since its cash cow. look there coming with a 4th shrek after all

it pleases all and insults no one.

freedom of speech yet people sometimes are afraid to use it (in the united states im talking)

The rock only made one good movie, the rundown, his other stuff sucks. i wouldnt say Christian bale is an action star, he's much too good of an actor to be labeled as an action star, plus batman isnt really just an action movie. You dont see other comic book movie actor labeled as action stars. Vin Deasel is ok, nothing special.

*gasp*:o Heresy.

And there don't seem to be any real, good action heroes left. They need to make a hero that kills everybody, sadistically beats informants, and causes lots of general mayhem. But he's the good guy.

the hitman movie is pretty good

and vin diesel

The genre has been slowly dying for me for a while now. I Prefer horror, sci-fi or dramas.

I know what you mean. In the 80's and early 90's we had Arnold, Stalone, Van Damme, Segal, Bronson, and Chuck. Man, lot of action with little plot. I miss those.DeerhunterIA

Take Chuck off that list, all his movies suck and the only reason people these days still know him are because of the chuck norris jokes. How could you not list Bruce Willis, Kurt Russell or Mel Gibson?

I miss the good old days when Mel Gibson was considered crazy but in a cool way. Who can forget that awesome in Lethal Weapon when they were in the shooting range?
