2. Action, act, deed mean something done. Action applies especially to the doing, act to the result of the doing. An action usually lasts through some time and consists of more than one act: to take action on a petition. An act is single: an act of kindness. Deed emphasizes the finished or completed quality of an act; it may imply an act of some note, good or bad: an irrevocable deed; a deed of daring. 12. See 1. English action comes from Middle English accioun, action, one of whose common meanings is in the legal domain: “a proceeding instituted by one party against another, or the right to bring such a proceeding.” Another common meaning in Middle English is “something done, an act, a deed.” The Middle English noun comes partly from Anglo-French and Old French and partly from Latin āctiō (stem āctiōn- ). Āctiō is formed from āc-, the perfect participle stem of the verb agere, and the noun suffix -tiō, which is used to form abstract nouns from verbs (here expressing action). Latin agere has as many meanings as English do or make. The original meaning of agere was “to drive (cattle, horses, goats, beasts of burden), ride (a horse), drive (a chariot).” Agere is from the same Proto-Indo-European root, ag- “to drive, lead, bring,” as Greek ágein “to lead, drive,” agōgós “a leader” (as in demagogue and pedagogue ). In Celtic, the participle aktos is the root of ambaktos, ambiaktos “one sent around, ambassador,” adopted from Gaulish into Latin as ambactus “servant, retainer.” G...

If you really want pure movie escapism, one of the best genres you can choose is The point is: Action movies are exciting, and sometimes they're just what you need. This year's new slate brings us everything from assassins on a train, to Santa Claus in a hostage situation, to a cat in knee-high boots (the Puss in Boots sequel, naturally). Plus, superheroes. As always, there are lots of superheroes. But there are also some different genres too (think: horror, comedy, historical fiction, animation, romance) and in each case, there's enough "people punching each other" or "thrilling race against the clock" or "mind games with some punching thrown in there too" to satisfy all your action-y needs. Even better? You can stream many of these movies right now. From Top Gun: Maverick to the Black Panther film, here are the new action movies that came out in 2022. Lou Emancipation, which is based on the life of an enslaved man known as "Whipped Peter," who was featured in a famous photograph that depicts the horrors of American slavery. The film shows Peter's escape to freedom during the Civil War. In select theaters now, then streaming on Apple TV+ starting December 9 Violent Night The sequel to 1986's Top Gun has been one of the most anticipated action movies for about three years now because its release date has been pushed back so many times.

In 2020, many of the biggest movies were postponed or moved to streaming, while blockbuster productions were halted due to the COVID pandemic. And while the health crisis isn’t over, blockbusters came back in force in 2021: Four Marvel movies, Zack Snyder’s long-awaited Justice League cut, a F9, Mortal Kombat, Snake Eyes), and a few surprises in the mid-budget standalone ’90s actioner range, like Guy Ritchie’s Wrath of Man and Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse. The year has been filled with ambitious, energetic, and exciting action films — indies and blockbusters alike — some of which contain scenes that will stay with you for a long time. Here is a list of 10 of the most accomplished, daring, or impressive action scenes of the year in alphabetical order, which you can check out right now on various streaming and VOD platforms. The Fable: The Killer Who Doesn’t Kill — scaffolding fight Directed by Kan Eguchi Image: Geek Pictures Shochiku The Fable: The Killer Who Doesn’t Kill isn’t the best film in this list, but it definitely has the best action scene: a 15-minute tour-de-force set in an apartment ...

What are the best-animated action movies? 1. Avengers Endgame Superhero movies are the ultimate in heroic action-adventure. Avengers Endgame, the pinnacle movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) franchise, follows on from Thanos’ disintegration of half the planet. The film has an all-star cast, plus time travel, alternate realities, and a high-stakes outcome, resulting in a heart-pounding three-hour watch. 8. The Dark Knight Trilogy There are endless versions of the Batman story. However, Christopher Nolan’s Dark Night trilogy is undoubtedly one of the darkest and grittiest. Supported by excellent performances from Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, and Tom Hardy, as well as physical, rather than visual effects, it’s firmly in the classic action movie category. 11. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Arguably the best of the original trilogy, Star Wars: The Empire Strike Back, has brilliant storytelling and portrays significant story development arcs, for many of the main characters. Of course, it’s backed up by a substantial amount of action, including the snowy Battle of Hoth. 13. The Bourne Identity The Bourne Identity has far fewer explosions than some of the other action movies on this list, yet makes up for it in hand-to-hand combat and gunfights. Plus, it combines amnesia induced mystery with character development to create a solid storyline that supports the action. 16. Terminator 2: Judgement Day Director James Cameron has always been a leader in large-genre movie-...
