I'd say that is a matter of opinion

 

[ejay1]

I agree that western movies make better action movies

Indeed a matter of opinion.

But I have to say that I lost interest with most Japanese movies these days. There are some good ones but in general I found them pretty boring. I am a big fan of Korean movies although they can be a bit too dramatic as well.

Which Japanese/ Korean movies do you like ?

I loved "THE Host" it was very cool.

When a young girl is snatched away from her father by a horrifying giant monster that emerges from the River Han to wreak havoc on Seoul, her entire family sets out to locate the beast and bring their little girl back home to safety in South Korean director Bong Joon-ho's big-budget creature feature. Hee-bong is a man of modest means who runs a snack bar on the banks of the River Han. Along with his slow-witted eldest son, Gang-du; Gang-du's young daughter, Hyun-seo; archery champion daughter Nam-joo; and unemployed, shirker son, Nam-il, Hee-Bong has managed to maintain a close relationship with his family despite the hardships that come with being a single father. When a rampaging fiend erupts from the Han and throws the city of Seoul into a state of emergency, Gang-du is heartbroken to see his precious little girl scooped up by the scaly creature and spirited away to an unknown destination. This is one family that always sticks together, though, and as the rest of the city denizens scramble to take cover, Hee-bong, Gang-du, Nam-joo, and Nam-il set out to prove that they're not letting their little girl go without a fight.

What did you like about the HOST?

 

[OoTmaster]

I think "The Host" is a good movie too. I liked how it started suddenly. And throughout the movie you never really see the full creature. At least not that I remember.

You see the whole creature... I liked it because i loved how they did not have some long back story about the creature...
It was simple the creature was born because the river was dirty. easy... And what the creature wanted was easy.... food...

200 pound beauty and The beast and the beauty

I dunno, I'm not sure there are any Japanese or Korean films in my top of all time list.

Yea there are some good films.

But when you start putting them next to the likes of LEON, La Haine, Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, Brazil, Exsitenz (and pretty much anything Kronenberg), Taken, Lock-Stock, etc. They kinda pale.
