Key elements include action sequences like fights, car chases, and explosions, as well as fit, good-looking lead actors. Examples mentioned include Fast Five, The Dark Knight, and Die Hard. Reasons for enjoying action films include star power of actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jason Statham, special effects, fan communities, and learning about new films through reviews and word-of-mouth.

9. Star Theory

10. There are different reasons why I like
action, one of these factors is Star Theory.
Star Theory is based around the actor that
appears in the film. A bigger well known
actor will attract a bigger and wider
audience. Some actors are famous for
being action heroes, stars such as Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Jason Statham are
typically action stars. Seeing these names
attracts any action fan.

11. Jason Statham
&
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Jason Statham and Arnold Schwarzenegger are
to famous house hold names and are
recognised for their action roles.
They always play the tough guys who we
instantly love due to their cocky and
condescending ways and sometimes adding
the comical factor.

12. Special Effects

13. Films are also full of special effects, technology
has developed enabling us to view films ion
bigger and better ways.
Action films are notorious for special
effects, with the many explosions, car chases
and fights that occur all created with special
and visual effects such as CGI, giving use an
illusion we want to see again and again

14. Fandom

15. Fandom is the fan community around
films, whether is one specific
actor, film, franchise or genre. Fans will
dedicate time and even money to follow and
support their favourites.
There are many different fan
websites, blogs, books and conventions for
fans to view and follow.

16. Action Fans also have different websites and

17. Why I Want To See A Film

18. With the internet, today it is so easy to find out
about a new film, with social networking
sites and YouTube it is hard to not hear the
latest gossip. I use both Facebook and
YouTube, I find out about the latest
Hollywood blockbuster easily.
I also hear about films through my
friends, word of mouth is one of the best
methods of finding out about new
films, especially if they are interested in the
same genre

19. I enjoy action films because of the actors in
them, they all have the hard exterior and
portray the hero.
The new young actors today such as Shia
LaBeouf and are talented within action as well
as the traditional stars like Will smith are all
reason why I watch these films.
These films can leave you feeling on the edge
throughout, and leave you wanting more.
