Because not every explosion deserves a standing ovation.
Introduction
The world of action movies is a thrilling and dynamic realm that has given us legends like John Wick, Die Hard, and The Matrix. These films set the bar for excitement, innovation, and unforgettable heroes.
But not every action film soars to greatness. Some crash and burn—spectacularly.
In this blog series, we’re counting down the 60 worst action movies of all time. These are the ones that promised adrenaline and excitement, but delivered disappointment, dull plots, and awkward fight scenes.
Welcome to Part 1, where we begin our journey through the bottom of the barrel, starting from number 60 to 51.
60.
The Last Witch Hunter
(2015)

Vin Diesel stars as an immortal witch hunter battling ancient evil. Sounds cool, right? Unfortunately, flat storytelling and wooden performances curse this film to mediocrity.
59.
Rambo III
(1988)

Rambo returns to save his mentor from Soviet forces in Afghanistan. While the action is non-stop, the emotional depth and logic are long gone, making this one the weakest link in the franchise.
58.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
(2009)

Louder, longer, and way more confusing than it needed to be. Even the explosive robot battles can’t save this bloated sequel from its messy plot and exhausting runtime.
57.
Empire State
(2013)
© Kind Hearts Entertainment
A heist thriller with Dwayne Johnson that manages to be both predictable and dull. Despite a solid cast, it never builds enough tension to be truly memorable.
56.
Chaos Walking
(2021)
© Lionsgate
An intriguing concept where thoughts are visible to everyone gets buried under poor execution, strange pacing, and lackluster chemistry between the leads.
55.
Skyscraper
(2018)
© Universal Pictures
Dwayne Johnson battles fire and bad guys in a super-tall building. Unfortunately, this uninspired mashup of Die Hard and The Towering Inferno lacks real suspense or originality.
54.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods
(2023)

This sequel tries to recapture the magic of the first film but falls flat with weak villains and underwhelming action. It’s a reminder that lightning doesn’t always strike twice.
53.
Blade: Trinity
(2004)
© New Line Cinema
Wesley Snipes returns, but even he can’t save the franchise from a messy script and the bizarre decision to turn Dracula into a cartoonish supervillain. A disappointing end to a once-great trilogy.
52.
Mortal Engines
(2018)
© Universal Pictures
Cities on wheels devouring each other? Sign us up! But the film stumbles with overloaded world-building, flat characters, and a narrative that never truly engages.
51.
Point Break
(2015)
© Warner Bros.
A joyless remake of a 90s classic, this version swaps character and charisma for extreme sports and soulless stunts. A forgettable reboot that no one asked for.
Final Thoughts
And that’s the first part of our countdown! These movies tried to deliver high-octane thrills but ended up as cinematic letdowns.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where the countdown continues from #50 to #41—and trust us, it only gets worse from here.
