I think 'The Rock' is the best action movie ever made.. come on!! the plot, the script, the acting, directing and the score!!
Do you agree? If not, what is the best action movie ever made then?
Sorry to be boring, but I agree. I'd also include Die Hard and Terminator 2 in the top tier.

I enjoyed the movie but thought it was too cheesy in parts and extraordinarily unrealistic in others. My favorite is "Heat"
"The Rock" is a great action movie and I LOVE it.
It's entertaining, and is Michael Bay's best film, but it doesn't touch the likes of Die Hard. The car chase is obviously chucked in for effect, and there's an over-abundance of cheesy slo-mo and empty cliché. I see it as a dumb-but-fun thrill ride with a fantastic score.
The score is awful, just generic Zimmer "Do-Do, Do Do-Do, Do Do-Do, Do Do-Do Do" played in whenever something is moving fast on screen.
Massively overrated film, feels like a patchwork knock-off of action movies from the previous 10 years. Writers are TV-movie hacks, Bay's a hack, Cage is miscast, only redeeming feature is it doesn't feel 2+ hours long.
The best action directors actually care about the material they're working off and try to keep things grounded in reality with believable characters but this had head-slap stupid moments every couple of minutes.
Bay still thinks he's directing music videos and a poor imitation of Tony Scott.
Since you didn't care to share anything on which you think is best, please inform us on which you think are the greatest action movies? "Personally I think you're a *beep* idiot"- Sean Connery
