Characteristics of a good action movie:

Explosion
Getting something to work that hasn't worked in years
Driving a sporty car
Having a timer that goes "ER ER ER" loudly
Making a crazy never in a million years shot with a gun
Winning ageist an outrageous number of people when you only have a few
When all hope is lost somehow have a miraculous way to survive
Go out of the original country at least once
Chicks
Swimming of any nature
Surviving things that the enemy cant


Bonus:

Ambush
The enemy surrenders unexpectedly turning around and find that you are backed by lot of people
Fight seen on a rooftop or tower
Exploding car
Anything involving a boat or train or helicopter
Anyone jump off roof or through a window
One of main characters die
Something falling off of a cliff ... ANYTHING

Also you need a bad guy that has unclear capabilities. Take zombies for example - people know what kills zombies and what they can and can't do to some degree. Take zombies that have been exposed to radiation. Much better movie because they can keep pulling skillz out of their pockets as necessary to keep the movie interesting and the fights unrealistically balanced....right?
