Tom Cruise is back in Top Gun: Maverick, bringing thrilling fighter jet action and plenty of drama. The film has everything fans love about action movies. From intense aerial battles to Maverick’s journey as a mentor, every scene packs an emotional punch. The music, including Kenny Loggins' classic "Danger Zone" and Lady Gaga’s new theme, adds even more excitement and makes the experience unforgettable.

The 2007 film brought Japan's Transformers toys back to life in Hollywood. With Steven Spielberg producing and Michael Bay directing, the movie utilized advanced CGI and thrilling action to transform a once-unfilmable idea into a global hit. Audiences loved seeing vehicles change into robots, and the story of a regular high school student saving the world gave it a timeless charm. Its fun style and impressive sound made it the beginning of a much-loved series.

Independence Day, released on July 4, 1996, wowed audiences with its impressive visuals, blending new computer-generated graphics and models. Will Smith’s energetic performance, a lively cast, and Bill Pullman’s memorable speech fill the movie with American spirit. The film focuses more on excitement and romance than on detailed logic, making it a standout of the 1990s sci-fi that remains enjoyable today.

The live-action film "City Hunter," now streaming on Netflix, really gets what made Tsukasa Hojo's original manga special and gives it a fresh update. Ryōhei Suzuki does a great job showing both Ryo Saeba's goofy, flirtatious side and his impressive skills as a professional sweeper. Mochizuki Kaoru, played by Mochizuki Mochizuki, adds a new kind of charm. The movie tells the origin story in today's Shinjuku, making for exciting action that both longtime fans and newcomers can enjoy. It raises the bar for live-action Japanese film adaptations.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 concludes Katniss's journey with a fierce battle between the rebel army and the dictatorial state. While Jennifer Lawrence's performance and the film's action are commendable, I believe the film falls short as a finale, earning a rating of 2.5 points in my personal assessment. Despite this, its value lies in providing closure to the series.

In "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1," Katniss, a former Hunger Games player, becomes the symbol of resistance against President Snow. The story focuses on Katniss and Peeta’s rescue and the rebellion spreading across the districts.

In 'Thor: Ragnarok,' the main characters, including Thor and Loki, embrace a comedic tone, forming a dynamic and entertaining duo.

The movie "REBEL MOON" is a sci-fi action film depicting the protagonist Kora and her band of galactic outcasts as they take on a massive empire. The highlight of the film is Kora, who has abandoned her past, gathering her friends to defend her village and take on an impossible battle. Part 1: The Child of Fire serves as the prologue to the two-part series, featuring Zack Snyder's signature visual beauty and action in this sci-fi epic.

The action scenes, which rely on physicality rather than CG, create a sense of tension and thrill. The camera work is also well done. Rurouni Kenshin is not only an action movie, but also a film that explores the nature of the main character, Kenshin, his past, and the kind of character he is.

The visuals were truly amazing! However, I couldn't help but be a little surprised by the scenes where Iron Man's suit was repeatedly destroyed. There were so many instances of "if it breaks, just put on another suit" that I found myself thinking, "Wait, is it over already?" As a long-time fan, I felt that the image of Iron Man as the "steel hero" had become a little cheap. Perhaps the filmmakers wanted to depict Tony Stark's human frailty, which differs from the invincible hero image we've come to expect.
