Best Action Movies of the Decade

The Sweet Sixteen

West Regional Semi-Finals

Match 2: Region 3

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Release Date: 2014
Directed by: Bryan Singer
RT/Metacritic Score: 90/75

Making Their Case:
The characters - and the performers playing them - step unto the breach to provide just enough wit and feeling to make "Days of Future Past" something other than a waste of a reasonable person's time.
-A.O. Scott, New York Times

Promotional Material:

Versus

Mission Impossible: Fallout

Release Date: 2018
Directed by: Christopher McQuarrie
RT/Metacritic Score: 97/86

Making Their Case: Of course, none of this would work nearly so well if the action wasn’t well-staged, and Fallout is legitimately one of the best combinations of choreography, stunts, FX, and cinematography I’ve ever seen.
-Vince Mancini, Filmdrunk

Promotional Material:

My Vote: Mission Impossible: Fallout

Best Action Movies of the Decade

The Sweet Sixteen

South Regional Semi-Finals

Match 3: Region 2

Fast Five

Release Date: 2011
Directed by: Justin Lin
RT/Metacritic Score: 77/66

Making Their Case: Like a proper action sequel, it's bigger, louder, and sillier than its predecessors, but it's more streamlined, too, smartly dumping the tired underground racing angle in favor of a crisp, hugely satisfying Ocean's Eleven-style heist movie.
-Scott Tobias, A.V. Club

Promotional Material:

Versus

Skyfall

Release Date: 2012
Directed by: Sam Mendes
RT/Metacritic Score: 92/81

Making Their Case: With spectacular action sequences, a rock-solid star and a ration of cheese that's good English cheddar, "Skyfall" is a gift from above.
-Joe Williams, St. Louis Post Dispatch

Promotional Material:

My Vote: Fast Five
