The older I get I find myself paying more attention to the dialogue between action scenes now rather than the action scenes themselves, a paradigm shift that surely shows how old I am.
I generally much prefer a decent psychological thriller over an action flick any day of the week.
Films like Fracture, the Prestige and Secondhand Lions I've all thouroughly enjoyed whereas films like Kill Bill, Saw, Hostel 2 etc just bore me to death.
There's still the occaisional action gem, 300 was one of my greatest films ever for example, and Gladiator is probably my favourite film but any film that just uses violence and gore as a selling point just turn me off now, as I just think they are signs of a director who has nothing interesting to say.
I want to be told a story not given a slice of violent porn, plenty of rape sites will do that for me
