20. Baby Driver (2017)

Produced by Edgar Wright, Baby Driver is one of the all-time best action movies about a teenager taking part in a bank robbery, which ultimately leads him to some very brutal robbery scenes guaranteed to shock you. Rotten Tomatoes gives this movie 92% approval rating. 

19. War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)

Taking the theme of a war between apes and humans post-apocalypse, the 2017 movie War for the Planet of the Apes is one action movie Dunia Games highly recommend. Here, Caesar and his group of apes are betrayed by a number of fellow apes within the community, then it leads to a massive war between apes and humans out of sheer misunderstanding.

18. Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018)

Ant-Man and The Wasp is a sequel to the first Ant-Man movie that features a new character named The Wasp. While the story is pretty light, the devil is in the details as it features numerous shocking elements like the Lab that shrinks and the collection of small-scale cars with great performance. Not only that, but the overall comedy and narrative that combine well with Ant-Man’s actor Scott Lang make Ant-Man and The Wasp one of the best action movies that deserves high rating from Rotten Tomatoes.

17. Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

Being the sequel to the first Spider-Man movie, Tom Holland performs brilliantly as the human spider in a movie that features a new enemy named Mysterio. Additionally, Spider-Man must face the shadow of Tony Stark in the form of his ex-employees who have gone bitter due to his past treatment toward them. Overall, Spider-Man: Far From Home is like a breath of fresh air after what happened in Avengers: Endgame with Rotten Tomatoes giving it an approval rating of 90%.

16. King Kong (1933)

King Kong not only presents some jaw-dropping action scenes but also heartwarming drama. It all begins during the hunt of an extremely rare animal, a giant ape named King Kong who then escapes to New York and begins causing mayhem in the city until he encounters a female human whom he falls in love with.

15. Marvel’s The Avengers (2014)

Joss Whedon truly makes something special when presenting the script for Marvel’s The Avengers movie, a very ambitious-yet-difficult movie which features numerous stars in a story with great storyline and character performances. In short, Marvel’s The Avengers is a movie about the foundation of The Avengers as each member begins recruiting Avengers-to-be members to unite as a group of dedicated superheroes. This is a very revolutionary premise unlike Avengers: Age of Ultron which is considered rather monotonous, and it shows when Rotten Tomatoes gives it 91% approval rating.

14. The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

Robin Hood is such an iconic character who sides with the poor and seeks justice by stealing from greedy and corrupt people, and his story in the mainstream culture began in the 1938 movie called The Adventures of Robin Hood. True, this may be an old movie, but it’s still one of the all-time best action movies with great cinematography and shooting angles that could only be done in the ‘30s. Therefore, it’s not too unrealistic to see Rotten Tomatoes giving it a 100% approval rating.

13. Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)

Star Wars may be a very iconic and beloved movie series in the hearts of many people across generations, but there are times when some of their movies are considered mediocre. However, this is not the case for Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens which receives positive reviews not only from fans but also non-fans as it reflects on its 93% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Ergo, it’s an all-time best action movie worth checking out.

12. Logan (2017)

Every Logan movie has a unique story to tell which separates each from another, but sadly the story of Logan ends in the titular movie. Released in 2017, Logan is a movie that depicts the end of the mutant’s life as he is hunted by numerous people, but not before he takes in a female mutant called X-23 with the same claws and regenerative superpowers as him. While there are quite a lot of brutal scenes in this movie, the action and somber scenes make up for it.

11. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

The Winter Soldier presents an original story with lots of surprises up its sleeve, including several characters that are the highlights of the movie like Black Widow and Nick Fury. Not only does it deserve its high 90% approval rating by Rotten Tomatoes, but it’s also a great movie with great rewatch value especially for the fans of Captain America.

Its high approval rating at 93% on Rotten Tomatoes makes people curious about its fourth installment called Thor: Love and Thunder, directed once again by Taika Waititi.

9. Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

After previously recommending Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, Dunia Games once again presents another Star Wars movie called The Last Jedi that features some very intriguing and unpredictable narrative. The series’ newly established protagonist, Rey, is training to become a Jedi by overcoming many obstacles in front of her including Kylo Ren. Adding to that is numerous plot twists that keep delivering, hence its high 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

8. Shazam! (2019)

For a DC movie, Shazam is a pretty light movie full of comedy, although its upcoming sequel is going to feature a much darker story. The story begins with a man who receives mysterious superpowers after yelling the word “Shazam!” and begins living as a superhero that bears the responsibility to use his powers correctly. With a high approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes at 90%, Dunia Games believes it deserves to be placed among the best action movies of all time.

7. Dunkirk (2017)

Set during the summer in 1940 during World War II, Dunkirk features an incredible military operation named “Operation Dynamo” which involves thousands of English and French soldiers stranded in the northern beach of France while being surrounded by the enemies who give them two choices: Surrender or die. However, thanks to a leader of a civilian fleet, all the soldiers are safely evacuated. Dunkirk not only receives 92% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but also wins numerous awards.

6. Wonder Woman (2017)

DC movies are competing with Marvel when it comes to getting new fans, and their 2017 movie Wonder Woman solidifies their place in the industry. Depicting the story of an Amazoness Goddess named Diana who seeks a life beyond the world called Themyscira which she leaves behind, what lies in front of her is an exciting adventure as a superheroine. Receiving 93% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and winning over 20 nominations in numerous international award ceremonies, Wonder Woman is truly a must-watch.

5. The Dark Knight (2008)

Still with DC, the 2008 movie The Dark Knight is a very intriguing movie that despite its name, its story mostly features the ambitious and psychotic Joker who antagonizes Batman. As a character, Joker doesn’t have a definite purpose or vision which leaves people wondering who he is or what he truly wants in his life. On the flipside, Joker provides some jaw-dropping moments like that time he explodes a hospital and acts surprised like your typical citizens reacting to a tragedy. 

4. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

Mad Max: Fury Road is a franchise that continuously gets featured in many lists of best action movies. Its movie adaptation features Tom Hardy as the main protagonist, Max Rockatansky who lives in a post-apocalyptic world after a nuclear attack turned the world into a barren land.

As one of the survivors of the catastrophe, a group of soldiers named War Boy led by a tyrannical ruler, Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) captures Max and throws him to a jail. Amidst the dreadful and chaotic world where survival of the fittest becomes mandatory, humanity feels like a luxury and almost a relic of the past.

3. Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

Mission: Impossible is one of the most long-lasting franchises with plenty of surprises in each installment, including Mission Impossible - Fallout that continues the story of Ethan Hunt who’s tasked with a seemingly impossible mission that he commits anyway right until the end. Being a highly successful movie that it is, Mission: Impossible - Fallout gets a 97% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

2. Avengers: Endgame (2019)

While many fans are vocal with their disappointment toward Avengers: Endgame by comparing it with Avengers: Infinity Wars whose execution and narrative are more interesting, several reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes agree that Avengers: Endgame ultimately edges out Infinity Wars as the better movie with higher rating at 94% thanks to its superb cinematography, sound direction and the narrative which continues the previous movies quite well.

1. Black Panther (2018)

Wakanda Forever! is still a tagline that continues to send chills down the spine, particularly if shouted by the late Chadwick Boseman who starred as King T’Challa. Black Panther is a movie with complex narrative and unique cinematography due to its unusual shooting and unpredictable characters that contribute to its numerous plot twists. As a result, Black Panther received a high approval rating at 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.
