I noticed this about movies. They have action scenes that are too fast to keep up with, with quick cuts every second, and shaky can scenes.

I don't understand this trend. It makes movies look terrible and I don't know about you but I have a hard time seeing what's happening on the screen because of it. Unfortunately I don't have any examples right now but I'm sure most people know what I'm talking about.

As the topic title reads, can anyone recommend movies with very well directed and executed action scenes? Thank you.

yeah, in fighting scenes they do that to make up for shortcomings in action scenes so the stars don't fuck each other up trying to make it look realistic, so they gotta use "tricks" and stuff.

The Raid 1 and 2 don't cut every second. It's not some continuous shot but you can see what's going pretty clearly.

Shaky cam is the worst, I wish it ceased to exist. 2nd worst though is when it's too dimly lit to see what's going on too well, especially in fights with lots of people where it's already harder to keep up w/ what's going on. Seeing poorly lit fight scenes really annoys me.

And yeah, that awesome fight scene was the first thing I thought of as an answer too, Sarcasthma.

Anything either directed by Jackie Chan or where he has control of the fighting choreography..

Avoid any Michael Bay movie then. His movies are absurdly filled with fast and shaky scenes.
