There's a huge gap in having non-Comic/non-Superpower/non-SciFi action movies.
For all the reasons why John Wick is successful, so was Top Gun 2.
People want to see just good'ole realistic action movies (that aren't SciFi/Comic)
Decades ago, we have Jason Bourne, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, etc. Today we have so little of these types of movies.
- krapp 4y agoI only mention this because you put it in italics, but John Wick and Jason Bourne aren't remotely realistic, they might as well have superpowers. The last thing anyone wants to see in an action movie is realism.
- alberth 4y agorealistic in the sense that, it's not superpowers/futuristic/comic-hero.
- AmpsterMan 4y agoI think they likely meant closer to current technology and society. The Mission Impossible movies, for example.
- generalizations 4y agoI’d argue the first Bourne movie was pretty realistic. It was the sequels that built things up too much.
- ericmcer 4y agoWe need to bring back the 80s action movie dynamic where a giant bodybuilder physique meant being an expert at gunplay, vehicles and all physical activities.
- empressplay 4y agoYou might like Reacher https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9288030/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9288030/
- Zababa 4y agoThe Raid 1 and 2 were a breath of fresh air for that, if you liked John Wick I would absolutely recommand them.
