Summing up the results of action cinema 2023: nominations

As you may have already noticed, we have begun to prepare for summing up the results of action films for the gradually passing year 2023. We have a lot of plans: we also supply you with the latest news from the world of hand-to-hand films and, in principle, action cinema, we are trying to develop our own channel on Youtube, we are developing an update on the website and we are eager to figure out who was the best and who was the worst over the year.

Surprisingly, in 2023, films from almost all the major action franchises of our time were released. Judge for yourself: "John Wick 4", "Mission: Impossible 7", "Fast & Furious 10", "The Great Leveler 3", "The Expendables 4", "Tyler Rake 2", "Crime City 3", yes even Bollywood released this year "Tiger 3". That is, for action films, the current year has become very rich in titles, which means the competition will be high, and so will our interest. In addition, the year is not over yet and there is a whole month for interesting action projects to become available or available for rental.

In case you missed it, the FFI editors have prepared for you material, which highlights 2023 movie releases you might have missed. This will help you form a clearer opinion on each category. We remind you that you can (and should!) nominate films that appeared with Russian translation this year. It is also possible (and necessary!) to propose nominees for this material, since the editors see all your comments!

Summing up will take place in three stages:

Stage one. Proposal of nominees.

Traditionally, the FFI team publishes a list of nominations, in each of which site visitors and VK groups will be able to propose one or more options. It would be great (for everyone) if you gave reasons for the choice.

Stage two. Vote.

Just before the New Year, when all the belated releases come out and we have collected the maximum number of options for each category, we will launch a phased voting on the website. We remind you that votes can be cast for three nominees in every category!

Stage three. Article analytics.

After each voting stage (five nominations per week), the site’s editors will collect all the results, after which the painful, but at the same time interesting stage of analyzing the winners in all nominations will begin.

    Ps I have no idea how I will vote for them. At the fourth stage of selection, you will need to choose 3 out of 12.

    Blockbuster of the year 'Bhola', I haven't watched such trash for a long time. So on, Ajay Devgan is probably in the comeback of the year. The best screen fight, 'Bhola' where Ajay Devgan kills everyone with his trident.

    I propose to add one more category to the rating. I don’t really know what to call it. "Opinion of the audience." I'll try to explain what I mean. We are all not professional critics, and I would only rate the Korean Rampant, which is a masterpiece, in a rating everywhere. I'm not insisting on something like overlooked or unnoticed films. It would be interesting. Because you really can’t keep up with everything

      Thank you so much for the candidates! However, the best fights should be directly indicated who is against whom or the timing of the fight in the film. It’s not clear what kind of contractions are meant.
