I consider Con Air and Face/Off the last of the classical action films of the genre. The Rock however being the final great.
This movie doesn't age one second.

One of the last, great, R-rated action extravaganza films.

The Matrix
Dumbed down remake of Welt am Draht with beep camera movement. Sequels were even worse and Keanu Reeves simply is not an actor
Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2
Lazy remake of Lady Snowblood mixed with Sex & Fury and some Wild West cliches in the second movie but like all Tarantino movies simply just a remake of 70's stuff with most scenes copied 1:1 (like the fight in the snow in Kill Bill 1, it's a badly reshot of the Scene in Lady Snowblood where it looks much better)
The Bourne Trilogy
Ahahahahaha. I thought we're talking action movies
300
Comic book stupidity that led to an annoying meme, no substance, no class, not even a proper story
Avatar
CGI Remake of Pocahontas. I guess Virgin Nerds can jerk off to the graphics
The Incredibles
Clutching at straws

I agree. The list of films the second poster used are fantastic, but I think Con Air/ The Rock were the last greats of their generation.

I think the OP is referring to
classical blockbusters
("the classical action films of the genre" - the OP) from the late 80s throughout the 90s, the last bunch of its' kind before CGI and comic-book adaptations took over.

You don't think Die Hard is regarded more highly than Terminator action-wise?

Their main genre though is action, each. That shouldn't discredit them from being an action movie.
The Terminator
is widely considered to be the best action movie of all time although it is a mix-genre.

You list either action sci-fi, other cross genre films, or films not as good as The Rock.
