Hopefully you can get the word out there - think of all those people who watched it and didn't realise how boring it was.
Can't hold a candle to John De Heart in GetEven.

Captain Damien Tomaso from B13. Dude was funny as hell, the parkour was awesome.
B13 Ultimated Van Gogh Fight
Also, Tony Ja in basically anything. That dude is amazing to watch.
Long Take from The Protector
Classic wait in line for an ass beating.

This probably makes me lame, but I have to say Captain America.
That's so lame, lame-o. I mean if his shield absorbs 100% vibration how does it bounce back? It should act like a blueberry & strawberry jello Frisbee.

Good choice.

I'm torn between Hit-Girl, John Wick, and The Bride
This probably makes me lame, but I have to say Captain America.
Not lame at all.
Lame would be picking Tony Stark.

I should watch that movie again, closest we've got to Bruce Willis' world-weary snark from Last Boy Scout in forever.

Neo, Matrix. Kung-Fu, Bullet time etc.
The Punisher from 2004 had such a bold ending

The Grandmaster, amazing.
Great choice, but the characters has been portrayed before, although not very much, so I'm not sure he counts. Same with Dredd.

Surely some of the Die Hard's were this side of the century? Everyone's talking about Neo and wasn't the original Matrix in the 90s?

I really like Daniel Craig's take on James Bond, despite having 2 misfire movies.
That torture scene from Casino Royale is a highlight.

The Bride
The greatest.
I didn't think the first John Wick movie was great either, but the second one is a lot more exciting. When it comes to plot and characters it's still pretty shallow, but it's more fun for sure.

Yep absolutely this. A modern icon.
Honorable mention to John Wick. Such an impressive character. I love how the movies build up his legend.
Furiosa is also an excellent choice.
First Matrix was 1999. The other 2 were 2003.
The only Die Hards that came out in this century were the 4th and 5th ones....ick.
Those would be my answers
