I watched Dunkirk a few days ago and those were some of the longest 110 min of my entire 2017. Literally just stuff blowing up for almost two hours straight. I'm no one to not be astonished by a pure action scene every once in a while but these two movies feature virtually no dialogue or tension, instead just ships or cars blowing up for 2 hours. Definitely some of the least exciting theater visits in the past years for me, although I found Mad Max superior, yet nowhere near as good as the entirety of the internet thinks it is. Last time I criticized the movie I remember having my intelligence questioned so that was not a great experience. So I'm here to learn and I'd like to hear how exactly you gotta be wired to enjoy little dialogue and lot of what I perceive as repetitive action. What is the appeal? How do you manage to not grow tired of explosions?
I used to be a big fan of 80s and 90s action, altough I watched those back in their day so I'm not sure how they hold up. I still enjoy action movies like Terminator 2 or The Dark Knight though, so I do not think my watching habits have changed all that much. Not enough to explain the boredom I was overwhelmed with during these two movies anyway. They are fundamentally different from the action movies I'm used to, that much I am sure of.
