20 Minute Video Shows What's Wrong With Modern Action Movies

Even if you love action movies, you have to admit that the state of the modern action film is pretty bad these days. Chris Stuckmann has created a twenty minute video essay (via The Playlist) that breaks down a lot of the specific issues that seem to arise over and over again in action films, and instead of just critiquing them, he actually offers some solid advice on how to fix things. He brings up a lot of great points, and while many of these should be common sense at this point - guess what? Having a great script is actually very important! - that's clearly not the case. For those of you who are aspiring screenwriters, get ready to take some solid notes: this is important information to know. Any video that takes Olivier Megaton down a notch is one I'm going to like.
