When things go wrong, they\u2019ll stop at nothing to get revenge for a comrade\u2019s murder. The film features all the stars of the first movie (Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, and more) but includes better action scenes, more developed storylines, and self-deprecating humor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fun Fact: <\/strong>This was the first film Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in after leaving the office of Governor of California. He shot all the scenes for his role in just five days, as he needed to begin work on another movie (<em>The Last Stand<\/em>, 2013).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-american-sniper-2014\"><strong>9.

But can he also cope with time at home with his wife and child, away from duty in Iraq? Based on a true story, <em>American Sniper<\/em> mixes heroic wartime action with real-life drama, making it one of HBO Max\u2019s best action movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fun Fact:<\/strong> Cooper ate about 6,000 calories daily to gain over 40 pounds of muscle for the role. At the peak of his training, he could deadlift 425 pounds (twice his body weight), which is what he\u2019s seen lifting during the movie.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-civil-war-2024\"><strong>8.

Along the way, they pick up Jessie (Cailee Spaeny), a young and naive, but talented aspiring photographer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The movie is unsettling, striking a balance between suspenseful storytelling and realistic battle scenes. As the story unfolds, you watch it all through the journalists\u2019 insider view.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fun Fact:<\/strong> Jesse Plemons agreed to film a scene in the movie days before it was shot because the original actor suddenly dropped out. To stay in character, Plemons avoided interacting with all other cast members before filming his scene, including his wife, Kirsten Dunst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-the-revenant\"><strong>7.

As part of a fur trading expedition, the frontiersmen must fight to survive in harsh conditions. Along the way, they encounter wild animals, Native Americans, and rough terrain, all of which present opportunities for gorgeous cinematography and wild action scenes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things turn gruesome when one of the frontiersmen is mauled by a bear and betrayed by the rest of the group. <em>The Revenant<\/em> shows us just how impressive the human spirit is \u2013 and how far one man will go for revenge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fun Fact: <\/strong>DiCaprio has said that this was the hardest performance of his career. During filming, he had to learn to speak two Native American languages (Arikara and Pawnee), build a fire, and shoot a musket. He also studied ancient healing techniques with the help of a specialized doctor and ate a raw piece of bison liver during filming despite being a vegetarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background-color: #cfe2f3; padding: 10px; border-radius: 25px;\">\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 HBO Max has different libraries depending on the country you\u2019re in.

To win her over, he must defeat an army of her ex-boyfriends. It\u2019s an unlikely villain redemption story, with lots of fun fight scenes to keep things moving quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The characters are offbeat, nerdy, and uniquely cool. You\u2019ll also notice the film\u2019s unusual cinematography which features fluid transitions, extensive visual effects, and colorful visuals, all of which are reminders of the movie\u2019s graphic novel inspiration. If you\u2019re looking for good action movies on HBO Max to leave you feeling nostalgic, look no further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fun Fact: <\/strong>Producers included the famous theme music from the Super Nintendo game <em>The Legend of Zelda<\/em> in the movie.

This is the highest-rated Mad Max film for good reason \u2013 with captivating characters and nonstop action.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fun Fact:<\/strong> More than 80% of the effects in the movie are real, including stunts, sets, and make-up. Film producers limited CGI, mostly using it to remove stunt rigging, enrich the landscape, and add Furiosa\u2019s distinguishing prosthetic limb.

Aragorn and Gandalf (Viggo Mortensen and Ian McKellen) must lead armies of men to battle against Sauron\u2019s massive army. Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam (Elijah Wood and Sean Astin) are close to destroying the ring but must depend on an untrustworthy guide to complete the mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fun Fact:<\/strong> Sir Christopher Lee, who played Saruman, was the only cast member to ever meet J.R.R.

The film is mesmerizing, from its impressively choreographed martial arts battles to the complex relationship dynamics.
