And the only ones I remember are those that have (a) compelling characters and stakes rooted in something faintly akin to reality or (b) action sequences so outré that they qualify as absurdist pop performance art. Every summer, I see approximately 80 "pulse-pounding thrill rides" (or maybe it just feels that way). The thing is, these live-action cartoons, while no doubt of great interest to die-hard fans and film scholars, tend to be eminently interchangeable and forgettable as stories. Cartoon physics? Cardboard characterization? Who cares, as long as the movie lives up to the built-in expectations of its genre? Some folks say that genre films, and action flicks in particular, should have nothing to do with reality.
