I think we're all placing too much faith in a shallow medium, the action film. Ask anyone what their favorite movie is and 3 out of 4 times it will be a movie that wasn't really over the top. Just like most people wouldn't name a candy bar as their favorite food.
I watch all action movies with no preconceived notions and no great expectations.

However, with a character actually named "Ford Brody", whose only purpose is to be "oh hey I'm in the military so I can be here," totally ruins what could've been the next Johnny Rico.
No exaggeration, a wooden plank would have been a better main character.
Imagine an expressionless post-botox Christian Slater as Major Dutch Schaefer in Predator.
