We love action movies, but these ridiculous clichés need to be retired:
Just like romantic comedies, horror films, and other movie genres, action movies are subject to their own series of stereotypes. And while some action flicks manage to subvert these clichés in clever ways, they’re still present enough that we can compile them into a list.

Every normal activity becomes way more intense. Seriously, do these characters even have time to eat? Action movies aren’t supposed to be mirrors to reality. They’re simply a good bit of fun, even though some manage to ground themselves with compelling, honest drama.
