ACTION FILMS

Action film is a film genre where one or more heroes undergoes a series of challenges that require physical feats, extended Rights and frenetic chases. They occasionally have a resourceful charcater struggling against incredible odds such as, life-threatening situations, an evil villain, and/or being chased in several ways of transportation (car, bus, truck, etc), with victory achieved at the end after difficult physical efforts and violence.

While action films have traditionally been a reliable source of revenue for movie studios, relatively few action films obtain critical praise. Although action films have traditionally been aimed at male audiences from the early teens to the mid-30s, many action filmmakers from the 1990s and 2000s added female heroines in response to the expanding social conceptions of gender, glorifying the strong female archetype.

JAMES BOND


The James Bond film series is a series of motion pictures based on the fictional character of MI6 agent James Bond (code designation "007"), who originally appeared in a series of fictional books by Ian Fleming. Earlier films were based on Fleming's novels and short stories, followed later by films with original storylines.
The franchise is one of the longest continually-running film series in history, having been in ongoing production from 1962 to the present (with a six-year hiatus between 1989 and 1995). In that time Eon Productions has produced 22 films, at an average of about one every two years, usually produced at Pinewood Studios. The series has grossed just over US$5 billion to date, making it the second-highest-grossing film series of all-time (behind Harry Potter).
Six actors have portrayed 007 in the Eon series so far.
- Sean Connery (1962–1971)
- George Lazenby (1969)
- Roger Moore (1973–1985)
- Timothy Dalton (1987–1989)
- Pierce Brosnan (1995–2002)
- Daniel Craig (2006–present)
