    The Raid 2 is my favorite action film of all time. People always rave about the first. But I think its sequel has far exceeded expectations. Bigger scale, even more brutal action, story expansion. It's like the director heard the nitpick of the first for not having a intact plot and went "Here's 2H30M of mob feud, undercover story, stunning choreographed action sequences. You're welcome."

      The Raid 2 is one of the sequels that felt like a total upgrade to its prequel. Its hard to achieve and its probably one of the reasons why Gareth Evans wont do the third installment.

      Kick Ass should've made the list. Scott Pilgrim again borders on that line of action and comedy. 21 Jump Street is definitely a comedy and has no business being on this list. The same goes for Free Guy and Hot Fuzz. Edge Of Tomorrow is more forgiving but I see it more as a sci-fi comedy. Edge Of Tomorrow is one of my favorite movies but if I'm laughing more than being on the edge of my seat, it's more of a comedy in my eyes. Bill Paxton is hilarious, Tom Cruise gives one of his funniest performances, the groundhog day effect is hilarious to watch until it starts getting serious with Emily Blunt who's the only character in the film that gives it an action type feeling but for the most part its a sci-fi comedy.

    Sorry, but this is the one negative comment about The Raid, I didn't like it at all! There were tons of unnecessary artificial camera shake, even in the scenes that didn't need any. Violence without any reason. It felt like an empty movie with no substance. We didn't get to know the characters, so we can feel for them. They just died, like every death in the movie was meaningless. I was extremely bored, but my friends were watching it with me, so I couldn't shut it off. One of my friends mentioned that he got dizzy due to the excessive artificial camera shake. The Raid's placement on the list higher than all of these amazing movies is insane.

      Skyfall is also damn awesome.
      Not sure about 2009? Avatar, Transformers 2, and G.I Joe TROC are just amazing from that year.
      However, Snowpiercer came out in 2014.
      Didn’t care that much for Snowpiercer unfortunately.
      Top 2 best best movies from 2013 are Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down.
      Also, Kingsman was the best action movie of 2015. Fury Road sucks.
      Nevertheless, you still got good choices.

    I feel some reasons why Mad Max Fury Road will always take the title as best action film is its generally simple plot, not requiring you to watch the previous 3 films for any background besides the origins of Max (not really important), most stunts done without CGI (including the "Witness Me" scene, people eaters limo explosion and multiple crashes) just removing any safety equipment or stunt drivers), the action isn't over the top like Fast 9, a fair amount of explosion unlike some action films that have a blinding amount and really only lacking a edge of your seat scene but with such a simple idea of a continuous chase, there isn't much that can be chair gripping.

    Nobody is way better than Taken and deserves a spot on here for sure. 21 Jump Street is more of a comedy with action sequences. You guys seem to love this film too much because it makes damn near every best of 21st century list you make. Free Guy is also more of a comedy/fantasy/Sci-fi/adventure with action sequences.
    I don't consider neither 21 Jump Street, Hot Fuzz, Edge Of Tomorrow or Free Guy an action film while Edge Of Tomorrow is more of an action film than the other three, it feels more Sci-fi comedy.
    The original Bourne trilogy is as perfect as a trilogy can be. That and the Matt Reeves Planet Of The Apes trilogy just might be the best trilogies of all time.
    How tf do you guys think Furious 7 is better than Fast Five ? Again if Paul Walker didn't pass away Furious 7 wouldn't even be memorable. It's fun but it's nothing compared to Fast Five which the franchise has never surpassed since.
    Also Casino Royale is way better than Skyfall. Without Javier Bardem and Judi Denches characters death, it's not even close to being better.
    John Wick 3 over John Wick or even John Wick 2 ?! You can't be serious! Wow this list is terrible as per usual the case with watchmojo. It's the fact you say best. If you said favorites since your staff is the only one voting for this, I'd be more forgiving but you said best and chose John Wick 3, Furious 7, 21 Jump Street and Free Guy ? Wtf!!!
