All these modern action heroes are lame caricatures of their predecessors, especially Arnold Schwarzenegger, except Schwarzenegger had far more personality to provide an antidote to his inherent absurdity. Guys like The Rock and Statham have no subtlety whatsoever and are basically meatheaded morons. This has as much to do with the turds masquerading as scripts/plots they're given to do, but whoever the culprit these FF flicks are just as bad as the worst Chuck Norris movies. Unlike those days, there's no good action hero movies released now. At least in the 80s you had a few good-to-excellent ones sprinkled in with the turds, like First Blood and Diehard.
