do aspies not like action movies?

Post Reply New Topic

i was going through the movie section of this site and people were putting down type of movies i don't prefer. i love mindless action movies that has non-stop thrilling action without much talking like die hard and terminator. i hate movies not like these lol. i hate to hear a lot of talking in movies. no talking at all would be better.

i'm a girl, by the way.

I can't stand action movies. The violence drives me batty.

I never liked action movies. Too loud...

See the movie "Shoot 'em up". I thought it was exactly the kind of mindless action movie that appeals to a wide audience, but it was a big failure.

I'm not a big fan of action movies. I tend to automatically tune out during long action sequences with minimal dialogue, and miss crucial plot points as a result. That's assuming there actually is a story line, and the entire movie isn't all about special effects and "blowing s*** up." If the latter is the case, I have no interest in said movie. That's just me, though. There's a great deal of variation among those on the spectrum on most issues, and that includes taste in movies.

I love action movies. But it has to have a story, not a mindless rampage.

I like seeing them in the cinema. They're not as much fun on small screen (unless the plot's good).

I'm an autie and I absolutely love action movies. It's a genre of cinema that I love more than any other genre out there. For me, there is no better visceral thrill than watching a well filmed gunfight. You wouldn't think that'd be the case with me since my screenname comes from a artsy french movie, but I like all kinds of movies, but action films are the kind of movies that I'm the most passionate about.

Granted a lot of action movies that we get nowadays aren't up to snuff, since now they try to inject "gritty realism" (Despite the fact that most movies that claim that aren't all that realistic anyways), shakey-cam (The cancer that's killing action cinema as far as I'm concerned.), and pretty boy actors that lack the charisma of the action stars of yesteryear.

I grew up on the best action movies, like Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, The Rock, Face/Off, Desperado, Commando, Predator, The Rambo movies, Hard-Boiled, The Killer, A Better Tomorrow 1 and 2, among others.

It's a genre that I honestly feel doesn't get a whole lot of love these days, which is truly a pity.

I don't really like pure action movies. There has to be more plot, not just mindless shooting ... (fill in the enemy in the particular movie).

If you're looking for some correlation with AS, here's my side: I have face-blindness, so I pretty much can't follow action movies because there's just too many characters and it depends too much on knowing who's who. And in fast-moving sequences, there isn't even enough time to try and work it out. Also, these ones with secret agents and stuff present an additional problem for me when they go around lying about their identity.

I like action movies too. Well, to an extent. After a while they all blur together, like the Bourne Identity ones and stuff. Action movies like that.. like what Aietra said: I usually have a lot of trouble telling the characters apart, both in the movie and between other movies. XD;;
But I looooove stuff like Cloverfield and War of the Worlds. Sort of actiony, right? Like, scary otherworldly action. XD; With characters that are not as badass. I think they're easier to identify with that way. And they don't all wear suits and have short hair so it's a lot easier, lol.
My least favorite kind of movie is drama. The kind with lots of talking and angst.. uck. D:

I love action movies; I'm relatively tolerant of the plot and even historical inaccuracies. I think my favorite are creature movies (not to be confused with horror or splatter films). There's nothing more awesome than watching spiders become the size of a small car and chasing people all over the screen. Additionally, I also love watching other action movies that are of the violent type.

I get bored during fight scenes in movies.
