Member Iron_Leopard Posted January 6, 2018 Member Share Posted January 6, 2018 Which decade do you feel has the superior martial arts films? Ill admit I haven't seen nearly as much from these two decades as I have from previous ones. Mostly because I can't stand the CGI age of Kung fu. With what I've seen I'm going with 2000s cause you got "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", "Fearless", and "Ip Man". Oh and "The Legend of Zu". Wait....lol.

Member Drunken Monk Posted January 6, 2018 Member Share Posted January 6, 2018 2000’s for sure. I think “The Grandmaster” is the only true kung fu masterpiece made in the 2010’s. I really can’t think of another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say 'The Raid' (2011) & 'The Raid 2' (2014) will both be remembered as classics of the action genre. Shall weigh in with more of my thoughts later, but to a degree I also feel like it's too early to be having this discussion. We're comparing 10 years of movies to only 7 years, and I know many people have yet to see what are considered to be the best action flicks of '16 and '17, because of a lack of western distribution in most cases. In those instances people would be comparing a decades worth of filmmaking to just 5 years, so it's impossible to have a balanced answer without the 10's being over.

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted January 6, 2018 Member Share Posted January 6, 2018 And Adkins' Ninja: Shadow of a Tear for 2010's, too! That's a classic to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like Adkins has been doing 100 movies a year since 2010. Both of the latter 'Undisputed' sequels also fall into the 10's...with 'Redemption' being released in 2010, and 'Boyka' in 2016.

Big factor in me not replying sooner, its tough, but I prefer to wait, rather than illegally download stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
