Our top 3 current action movie picks

Written by: Sami

Our winner: Black Panther 

***** stars

The movie was thought provoking. It was refreshing to see more Africans in main roles. There was a lot of different cultures and traditions in the movie. It was a good blend of a story with action and with a little knowledge on top.

 The movie had a very good message for people. It also showed the industry that not only white people can make millions of dollars that black people can make the same or more with a hit movie. Black Panther made seven hundred million dollars in two weeks after its release compared to another similar movie, the Justice League which made six hundred million dollars in a single month. So as you can see, Black Panther made about 100 million more dollars in two weeks versus in one month.

  

Our runner-up: Thor 3 : Ragnarok

*****stars

In our opinion, this was the best of the sequels. A lot of action and humour blended in perfectly. It was well written and produced. Hulk also surprised audiences with his ability to speak. I think this Hulk is ready for a stand-alone movie, which would be very interesting.

The movie has a deep meaning. It makes me think about this because in the movie, Thor's dad says Asgard was never a place, it was the people. To me that means that family and friends is more important than anything in the world. My favourite part is when the Hulk lost to Thor in a fight because the boss of the show shocked Thor to make sure that he lost.

Our 3rd place pick: Jumanji 

**** stars 

It was a good spin off of the old one. The cast was very funny and committed to their character’s role. They were creative in reinventing the Jumanji board game for today. There were lots of star actresses and actors such as Dwyane Johnson (The Rock).

They also made it from the old board game to an actual video game and also made the people who are playing actually be the character's in the video game. The movie had a good mix of comedy and action.  

We loved this movie!
