Action films have had undergone an interesting transition since the turn of the century.
But the art of the fight scene is stronger than ever.
A few ground rules before we get to the picks.
Without further ado, let’s look at the best fight scenes of the 21st century below.
King Kong - T-Rex Fight
Directed by:Peter Jackson
It’sKing Kongvs.
T-Rex, need I say more?
Ok then, there are three of them.
The moment where King Kong squares off against a pack of three Tyrannosaurus Rex is definitely one of them.
Well, almost anything.
As always, no touching of the hair or face.
There’s plenty of kinetic fun to be had when our heroes first meet on Xandar.
It’s got personality and personality goes a long way.
You watch this sequence and you immediately get who they are.
You understand why you would want them on your team, even why they might be your enemy.
But it’s also a fantastically fun character scene.
The World - Roxy vs. Ramona
Choreographed by:Brad Allen
Directed by:Edgar Wright
Scott Pilgrim vs.
The Worldshould have been a huge hit.
The Worldis the best use of his expertise in Chan’s famous comedic combat yet.
That, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead is just a total badass.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Rey and Finn vs. Kylo Ren
Choreographed by:C.C.
It doesn’t hurt that that person was finally a woman.
The rest is an onslaught of vengeful ass-kicking of the highest order.
This fight lets you know who these characters are.
