Where are the action movies?

Hollywood has gotten so artsy you don't see as many great action movies. Sure there are action movies, but they don't get the big names and funding. I saw Battleship on HBO, it was ok. Not great but ok. 

 

What you end up with is all the old farts from the golden age of action movies doing B movies like The Expendables and Red.

 

I'd just love some new ideas. No remakes, no comic books. Get me something fresh.

Skyfall, Inglorious Basterds, Django Unchained, Hurt Locker, True Grit

I just think you see a lot of cross-genre stuff these days - tons of action comedies. Lots of suspense/thriller, and sme of the ones above are debatable as to which genre they fall under (the Tarantino ones really).

There doesn't seem to be too many go to action actors anymore, wherein lies your problem IMO. Either they can't act, aren't a big name, make bad movies, or some other issue.

 

Older guys

 

The Rock (not a huge acting name obviously)

Jason Statham (not A list or going to sell tickets)

Will Smith (doesn't make enough movies/makes bad ones)

Mark Wahlberg (It's Marky Mark)

Vin Diesel (?)

 

Younger, potential guys

Ryan Gosling (too artsy/"pretty" maybe?)

Channing Tatum (the best chance to be the guy, but he's interested in all genres)

Taylor Klitsch (bad movies, B List)

Charlie Hunnam (I liked Pacific Rim, but he's not a big big name yet outside of SOA)

Michael B. Jordan (Too young right now, but I like him)

    • Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO 
    • Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years 
    • Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
