Hercules killed the last action hero?
-
Some point to Keanu Reeves in Speed.After that, muscles, brawn and a penchant for asskickery without special effects or post-production were no longer a prerequisite to have a successful action flick.
-
Why Kevin Sorbo?
-
? like shia labeouf & tobey macguire...when they started putting nerdy type ? in the starring roles..and adding fake ass love stories to evry action movie... that's what deaded ? .......

Kevin Sorbo looks more like Marty Jenetti... than anything..
Vin Diesel.. fam.. throw him up there..
the last era of action heroes
held it the ? down but 80's >
the only cats that are worthy .. of this age or statham, bourne... im not counting comic action thats a different lane.
Jetli is a slightly different category -
The action heros of the 80s got older and some of the storylines got worse and worse
-
whoever though the idea of The Rock being a action hero
Vin Diesal acting is bad
Keenu Reeves is super boring
Jason Strathom is actually saved the genre a bit after those 3 guys help destroy it. (along with the Bourne movies) -
its never been about the story lines because lets be real the 80s were pretty ridiculous but.. its was great action and those stars fit the mold.The action heros of the 80s got older and some of the storylines got worse and worse -
Kevin Sorbo is from MN, so I disagree.

Well Conan 1 had a nice storyline, as did the first Predator, First Blood had a decent storyline, the first two Indiana Jones had great storylines, but I can agree with what you're saying -

How about the stupid "funny" fake ass coming of age.. frat boy comedies... they surely have a hand in this. or maybe its just my disdain for 95% of these movies
