Not enough to go see it at the theater but when it makes its way to HBO or Showtime, I make a point of watching. There. I said it. My shame is out there for all to see. ---

I’m with you. I’ve enjoyed them all. Though I believe at some point they’re just going to slap a new number onto one of the old movies and see if anyone notices. ---

I’ll admit I haven’t seen any of the movies in that franchise. But overall I agree with the principle the OP is writing about. There’s no reason a well-made action movie (or a well-made comedy or a well-made horror movie or a well-made musical) deserves less respect than a well-made drama. ---

I went to 6 last night. Pretty darn good popcorn movie! Plus it totally setup another sequel with another of my favourite (English) action heroes! Can’t wait! MtM ---

Bet you’ve missed [this one](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046969/combined). It’s on Netflix if you want to complete the canon. ---

A friend of mine said “Don’t watch the second and third ones!” and I ignored him when I watched the second. Until 15 minutes had passed, and it was so awful I removed it and skipped ahead to the fourth. So 1, 4, and 5 are all good action craziness, and I look forward to 6 very much.
