Critics tend to hate Action Movies.   The substance of the films, like those of kung-fu or shooting movies, tend to focus on the fight scenes and less on the overarching story or plot.  Sometimes it would seem that the plot is merely a device to lead to the action scenes.  Critics, looking for substance within the movie content, and focusing on the story, rate action movies somewhat lower.   It goes without saying that if a movie is rated highly by a movie critic, you should be wary.
