  You don't like movies. You like stories. Cinema is its own art form. It doesn't need plot. Sure, some films have a great plot - but not many, not really. Same goes for character (but to a lesser extent IMO). 
  Have you tried theatre?
context: Once you learn about storytelling you know that pretty much every story follows the same outline. Every romance has the same plot. Every fantasy. Adventure. Etc. There’s only so many ways to tell a story and they’ve all been done before. >
  
  This isn't true; it's just that popular stories tend to follow the same outline. People have figured out that others generally like stories told in a certain way and favor certain setups and payoffs. >
  
  It's still true. Every story follows certain tropes, and once you understand them you can see the story unfold miles away.  And while many stories try and do subvert tropes, it's usually just a single piece of the overall story. >
  
  This may be an unpopular opinion, but it's not an incorrect one. Most action movies, and most Hollywood movies in general, are made to appease the average person in society. Violence, sex, boobs, guns, death. Easy money grabs because average people eat that shit up. There's no compelling storyline because there doesn't need to be. People will go to see the most mundane of films with an explosion or a titty in it so long as it has a good enough of an advertising campaign. Maybe some CGI to really fool them. Nope. It's literally all shit. >
  
  You seem to be confusing being a contrarian with being intelligent. >
  
  The Matrix is still referred to to this day. Equilibrium (kind of a Matrix copycat) also has its own message. The Dark Knight trilogy is more good vs bad vs bad. I'm sure Sucker Punch had a message in there somewhere. Also, Watchmen. >
  
  eye roll.. . why not just ask for good action movie recommendations in a more appropriate sub. sheesh. >
  
  I get more enjoyment watching undisputed movies or the raid than most hollywood blockbusters >
  
  Something something Starship Troopers >
  
  yeah, people just want explosions and a badass protagonist to reflect to, film makers just give what the people want >
  
  Yep it's true as i got older i don't like action movies.
  Because almost same plot in the almost every movies.
  Because bad guys capture good guys in handcuffs and why don't bad guy kill good guys immediately than just telling long evil plan to them, while good guys miracly uncuff and escape. >
  
  I mean yeah, most action movies have the same plot structure, but that plot structure is inherent to the action genre. All genres have plot structures and themes that are going to be inherent to them. That's what defines them as genres.
  But if you think all action movies are shallow and lack depth, then you're not watching enough movies. Just like all genres some films are going to be deep and meaningful while others are going to be shallow. That's not unique to action movies. >
  
  Same could be said about almost all movies.
