 Action and Adventure

Explosions, fights, heroes! What’s not to love about this brilliant genre? Classics like “Indiana Jones” and “Mysterious Island” amazed audiences around the globe back in 1970’s, and this outstanding genre is still topping box offices and making millions with memorable movies like “Hunger Games” which made an astounding $155 million, alongside the Batman trilogy which has made history in the film industry, bringing pleasure to millions.

I appreciate and understand many people may find Action and Adventure genre too intense; they would rather enjoy a light hearted comedy with the family that has no lasting effect. But for me a light hearted comedy is not going to remain in my head and make me think about it afterwards, which a good film should. Action and Adventure will have me thinking about all the scenes causing me to contemplate if the characters had done something differently then how would things have turned out? This can go on for hours, even days after I have watched the film. I soon return back to the harsh reality where great things that happen in films don’t appear in real life.

When people hear that a film is Action and Adventure they may jump to the stereotypical view of it being violent with no story line. Poorly edited films like “You Don’t Mess With The Zohan” are responsible for this stereotype. Although hundreds of Action and Adventure films also interpret romance and comedy which appeals to almost everybody. A key example of this is “Hunger Games” and “Avengers Assemble”. To sum up, Action and Adventure genre simply has everything.

Finally, Action and Adventure brings the sense that the world is different, that heroes can exist and there are no sad endings in life, therefore the feeling it brings allows you to escape real life for a couple hours which is ultimately what I love so much about Action and Adventure.
