And robocop does not fall in with any of those? It's got more in common with iron man then Bourne. (Guy in a tin can, not the comic background).
As for Spider-Man being good..I didn't specify which film. I said Spider-Man. There have been five. Even by fanatic standards a couple where good. I also didn't say that any of my examples where in fact good, though I liked all, I said look at the box office. Most of those franchises where around a billion dollars. And I said box office because of the flop comment initially.
If robocop is an action movie so are the examples I stated. My point was that just because something gets a pg-13 rating means nothing. It's not a pro tip. It's in fact generally not true. Pg-13 movies as a group destroy R movies, (over any genre) at box office, DVD, downloads, awards, ect.
And for theater purposes and awards all those franchises I listed are considered action movies. As are things like Jurassic park and twister and Indy and Harry potter and twilight and hunger games and avatar. All did well in box office, all pg13. Of the top 10 box office 6 are pg13, of top 15 total 10 are pg13. Including the top 4 of all time. All considered action, all pg13.
I stand by what I said. Claiming a pro tip is making sure your movie is not pg13 is just not supported by actual facts. 4 of the top 5 grossing movies of all time are pg13. And you can debate what is and is not action movie, but if you say robocop is action then so are what I used as examples.
