A good action sequence is genuinely amazing to watch, as it can be as expansive as explosions crashing across the screen or more intimate, like a duel between two people. This gives the best action scenes such a range, and in 2022 we were given some unique spectacles.
For me, the best action scenes excel in every element, whether that be live actions, special effects, digital effects, or animation and bring every facet to shine. It is also the category that looks at some of the department’s people don’t often fully understand, like stunt coordination or the 2nd unit.
2022 was also the year of action, so my usual hope to keep these entries down to 5 or 6 got thrown out the window.
So without further ado, these are the moments of action that awed us in 2022. Be warned that there may be slight spoilers for the films in question.
