One aspect of my book that intrigues me is the action of it. Granted, there is no shoot'em'ups, as my Grandpa used to say, but it definetly has action and intriuge. With that in mind, tell me about your favorite action hero. is it Indiana Jones? Benjamin Franklin Gates? Jason Bourne? Or even Han Solo. Tell me why.

PS- Mine is definetly Indiana Jones. How can you not love Harrison Ford?

Once again I'm stuck between a few characters but three that stand out for me. One being from a seties by a British author of the Gate Keeper series named Matt...he's the modern version of Frodo Baggins set in the modern area in the real world. My second is Alex Rider from surprisingly the Alex rider series. Alex is the kid version of james bond, even working for MI6. My third is Will from Rangers Apprentice series for the fact that he's quick witted and not afraid of much in his world. I think I got more than 4 sentences.
ReplyDeleteThe best action character for me is Jason Bourne. You read my mind. :) There is so much action going on all the time that it makes the movie worth while. Another one of my favorites is Sherlock Holmes. He is so whitty and smart that he uses his intelligence to fight. There was a scence in the movie i most remember, and that is when sherlock is in a fist fight with another guy. Sherlock is about to loose and then he pictures his whole strategy of where to hit and to take his partner out in a matter of seconds! And then he does it and everyone is totally surptised and stunned!!(that is the coolest part of the movie, and if you havnt seen it yet I recomend when it comes out on DVD to watch it.) :]

Well, that's a question that I have many answers to. John McClane, from the Die Hard movies, would be one of my favorite action heroes. Frank Martin, played by Jason Statham in the Transporter movies, is another. The list goes on and on..
ReplyDeleteThis is very difficult for me due to the fact that i consider many actors as my favorite action heroes.Yet i would have to say, Jim Carrey, which i always enjoy watching his movies. As well, as Tom Hanks,really good actor, love the movie Forrest Gump, always makes me cry.Many actors who inspire the lives of others, is just so impressive.I mean there are many movies and books that just make u realize so many things about life. That can change you, and make you a better person in different aspects.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Hannah, I love Jason Bourne. He's always a mystery, even when he's not. You're never sure what he's going to do until he does it. Another one I really enjoy is Shia LaBeouf in Transformers. At the end of the day, he saves the day; who doesn't love that? I think that a lot of guys would agree that it is a good movie, but probably because of his costar in the movie.

Ok now this is one awesome topic to write about for the guys because we love action. My favorite action heroes would be Liam Neason in the awesome movie Taken, or Jason Stathon in The Transpoter. Will Smith is was a really good action hero in the movie Hancock. I thought Liam Neason was great because in the movie he showed great love for his daghter that he was willing to do anything to get her back, with or without anybodies help. I liked the transporter because no matter what job he takes he always finishes it. And in Hancock Will Smith is some sort of superman who has to choose between the woman he loves and the safety of the world.

My most favorite action hero is definitely a tie. The tie is between John MacLane of the Die Hard movies and Bob Lee Swagger of Shooter. I absolutely love them because they are up against so many things and they always seem to pull through. Bob Lee Swagger was against the whole country when he was trying to prove his innocence and eventually succeeded. John MacLane is great in Live Free Die Hard because he just keeps going. He wasn't even supposed to be involved in the action until he took a last minute call. I like it that he doesn't complain or give up even though it wasn't supposed to be his problem. These are definitely my favorite action hero's because they never think about the possibility of dying and just push through their pain.

ReplyDeleteI myself done know alot of actors names so this is hard for me. I like the guy who plays in the tv show Mentalist. It isn't really high action but I like how he solves crimes in a diffrent way. I also like that one guy I think his name is chris something iono he's that one funny black guy that plays in rush hour 3. He is hecka funny especially when it comes to Jacky chan fight sceance with him.
My favorite action heros are any of the heros from the movie The Incredibles. All of the characters have great strengths and abilities. my favorite is the little boy who is super fast. I love that they are able the work together as a family and also be heros. And the action that that movie pretains is so adventurous and action-packed.
ReplyDeleteIn the movie "I Am Legend" Will Smith plays an amazing role at being a hero to all society. In that movie he is definitely my favorite action hero. The thing that really got me was him sacrificing his life in the end so the mom and her child were safe as they hid in the small compartment in the lab. Through out the whole movie however, he strives to find a cure for the pandemic that has swept the world. As he discovers it is his own blood that has the immunity he does what he can to try and fix the other demonish people. His sacrifice of himself is definitely what got me.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite action hero is the father in the movie Taken. The reason is that he goes through all this trouble just to save his daughter that he doesn't even have custody over. He shows his love by going and fighting off all the bad guys instead of letting other professionals find his daughter. I like the fact that he asks questions and then gets rid of the bad guys eventhough they answered his question. I think it is because he knows that the people won't stop just because he beat them up for a while. That's good; I hate when bad guys don't get punished for what they have done.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite action hero would have to be Jack Spero. He fits perfectl with the storyline. He can be witty and funny. However he can also get down to business if need be. He is a great charecter in the pirates of carribean movies. He is my favorite actor.
