- DirectorRuben FleischerStarsTom HardyMichelle WilliamsRiz AhmedA failed reporter is bonded to an alien entity, one of many symbiotes who have invaded Earth. But the being takes a liking to Earth and decides to protect it.Action: 4/5
Romance: 4/5
Personal: 3/5
Sweet action comedy movie in which the romantic relationship takes an important role in the story. The love interest (Michelle Williams) probably takes the second most important role in the film after Eddie/Venom (Tom Hardy). The couple is cute and look great together and they also do some extraordinary stuff for one another which might show their great love but honestly in the dialogues it wasn't fluffy enough for my opinion. Still, cute, enjoyable and fits the list. - DirectorDavid AyerStarsWill SmithJared LetoMargot RobbieA secret government agency recruits some of the most dangerous incarcerated super-villains to form a defensive task force. Their first mission: save the world from the apocalypse.Action: 4/5
Romance: 3/5
Personal: 3/5
DC Cinematic Universe my love!!! they really committed to add romantic relations to all their movies to date and that's amazing in my opinion. Suicide Squad is filled with characters and almost all of them has a significant other that affects their lives within the film. - DirectorMorten TyldumStarsJennifer LawrenceChris PrattMichael SheenA malfunction in a sleeping pod on a spacecraft traveling to a distant colony planet wakes one passenger 90 years early.Action: 3/5
Romance: 5/5
Personal: 3/5
An out standing adventure romance story receives a less than perfect execution. Chris Pratt is doing the most charming sensitive guy in the world who'se also so hot you would kill for, and jennifer lawrence is just a little less annoying than always. i wish they would take a different actress. the story's themes are really strong, interesting and compelling but they could've dealt with them a little more intense.
I recommend this movie. - DirectorMichael BayStarsScarlett JohanssonEwan McGregorDjimon HounsouA man living in a futuristic sterile colony begins to question his circumscribed existence when his friend is chosen to go to the Island, the last uncontaminated place on earth.Action: 5/5
Romance: 4/5
Personal: 4/5
Good action/romance balance. Scarlett and Ewan join together to escape from a mighty organization that kept them from the world most of their lives. The action story sometimes asks for a large suspension of disbelief but the love story has a surprisingly good pace. - DirectorSusanna FogelStarsJustin TherouxKate McKinnonBlanka Györfi-TóthBest friends Audrey and Morgan unwittingly become entangled in an international conspiracy when one of them discovers that the boyfriend who dumped her was actually a spy.Action: 3/5
Romance: 3/5
Personal: 3/5
More Comedy than Action, more Comedy than Romance, still fits the list. A sort of combination between female buddy comedy and romantic comedy. The story has huge drama potential but it usually all gets used for comedy's sake. - DirectorChuck RussellStarsShawnee SmithKevin DillonDonovan Leitch Jr.A deadly entity from space crash-lands near a small town and begins consuming everyone in its path. Panic ensues as shady government scientists try to contain the horrific creature.Action: 4/5
Romance: 4/5
Personal: 4/5
A classic "action romance" movie, highly recommended if you're into the genre. The story constantly revolves around the two main characters and their developing connection of trust and care for each other. - DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsChanning TatumMila KunisEddie RedmayneA young woman discovers her destiny as an heiress of intergalactic nobility and must fight to protect the inhabitants of Earth from an ancient and destructive industry.Action: 5/5
Romance: 5/5
Personal: 4/5
A little goofy but effective nonetheless. An over the top action adventure movie that might have worked better as animation - not because of bad visuals at all, but I think the audience would've been less criticizing over the script.
The romance is very big here and there are some amazing romantic action sequences only it wasn't enough emotional for me. Lots of times it feels like the writers hold back from giving us this uncontrollable existential attraction we crave to see.
anyway, still a recommended experience and a must for action romance lovers. - DirectorStephen SommersStarsDennis QuaidChanning TatumMarlon WayansAn elite military unit comprised of special operatives known as G.I. Joe, operating out of The Pit, takes on an evil organization led by a notorious arms dealer.Action: 5/5
Romance: 5/5
Personal: 5/5
The main conflict of the film is between Channing Tatum and Sienna Miller who used to be lovers and the tragedy that turned them to enemies. Surprisingly romantic considering the film's marketing. One of my favorite movies, a must for action romance fans. - DirectorKerry ConranStarsGwyneth PaltrowJude LawAngelina JolieAfter New York City receives a series of attacks from giant flying robots, a reporter teams up with a pilot in search of their origin, as well as the reason for the disappearances of famous scientists around the world.Action: 5/5
Romance: 5/5
Personal: 5/5
Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law are ex-lovers that still keep feelings for each other and who now work together in order to save planet earth. It's a very fun and witty movie, their relationship reminds of screwball comedies from the 40s. Extremely recommended. - DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsMayumi TanakaKeiko YokozawaKotoe HatsuiA young boy and a girl with a magic crystal must race against pirates and foreign agents in a search for a legendary floating castle.Action: 5/5
Romance: 3/5
Personal: 5/5
Two orphans find themselves on the run from pirates and the military while looking for a floating island in the sky. There are tons of mind blowing action sequences and a strong emotional bond between the couple. One of the best adventure movies I've seen. - DirectorTommy O'HaverStarsAnne HathawayHugh DancyCary ElwesElla is under a spell to be constantly obedient, a fact she must hide from her new stepfamily in order to protect the prince of the land, her friend for whom she's falling.Action: 2/5
Romance: 5/5
Personal: 5/5
A romantic fairy tale about a peasant girl that helps a beautiful prince figure himself out and exposing his evil uncle's plans to take the throne. charming Anne Hathaway and handsome Hugh Dancy have surprisingly emotional connection with some intimate dialogues and touching moments. Very recommended. - DirectorTim BurtonStarsJohnny DeppChristina RicciMiranda RichardsonIchabod Crane is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitations of three people; the culprit is legendary apparition The Headless Horseman.Action: 4/5
Romance: 4/5
Personal: 4/5
A beautiful horror romance story. It basically all revolves around the main couples growing love and trust for each other. Amazing art at the same time. - DirectorGuy RitchieStarsCharlie HunnamAstrid Bergès-FrisbeyJude LawRobbed of his birthright, Arthur comes up the hard way in the back alleys of the city. But once he pulls the sword from the stone, he is forced to acknowledge his true legacy - whether he likes it or not.Action: 4/5
Romance: 2/5
Personal: 4/5
Not much of actual romance, it develops slowly and doesn't reach a too meaningful climax but it does have at least one "action romance" scene I recall and if you're attracted in any way to men you should watch it because King Arthur by Charlie Hunman is the ultimate romantic hero in my opinion. That being said I found the movie to be amazing and I recommended it regardless. - DirectorMark NeveldineBrian TaylorStarsJason StathamAmy SmartCarlos SanzProfessional assassin Chev Chelios learns his rival has injected him with a poison that will kill him if his heart rate drops.Action: 4/5
Romance: 3/5
Personal: 5/5
Mostly a crazy, fun and intelligent action movie about one man (Statham) against a world run by criminals, but the lead's main motive is the love and protection of his girl (Amy Smart, which usually I don't like but she is sweet and fitting in this one). Her screen time is not large but her role is significant and her presence is strong. - DirectorTakeshi NozueStarsAaron PaulLena HeadeySean BeanKing Regis, who oversees the land of Lucis, commands his army of soldiers to protect the kingdom from the Niflheim empire's plans to steal the sacred crystal which gives Lucis its magic and power.Action: 4/5
Romance: 2/5
Personal: 4/5
Beautifully shot action adventure movie, packed with content and details to a level of confusion. More than 50% of it has the main couple running around in action scenes and the chemistry between them is nice to view. They are both amazingly pretty. Prepare of bitter sweet ending. - DirectorJim WynorskiStarsJohn TerleskyMonique GabrielleJohn LazarIn this parody of the sword and sorcery films, a princess is deposed by an evil sorcerer. She enlists the aid of Deathstalker to battle the forces of evil, including a clone of the princess, and win back her kingdom.Action: 4/5
Romance: 4/5
Personal: 5/5
A funny, sexy and action packed b movie about a charming thief that joins a princess to get back her throne. They go through alot of adventures and of course get together. I LOVE the characters in this one and Deathstalker is one of the most handsome heroes ever, very recommended!!!
P.S - this is unrelated to the horrible 1st movie and should be watched as stand alone. - DirectorCatherine HardwickeStarsAmanda SeyfriedLukas HaasGary OldmanSet in a medieval village that is haunted by a werewolf, a young girl falls for an orphaned woodcutter, much to her family's displeasure.Action: 3/5
Romance: 3/5
Personal: 4/5
Light-horror suspense-romance film with amazing photography. The romance was a bit underdeveloped sadly but the ending is sweet and I found myself coming back to this movie. - DirectorZack SnyderStarsBen AffleckHenry CavillAmy AdamsBatman is manipulated by Lex Luthor to fear Superman. Superman´s existence is meanwhile dividing the world and he is framed for murder during an international crisis. The heroes clash and force the neutral Wonder Woman to reemerge.Action: 5/5
Romance: 3/5
Personal: 5/5
The romance here is strong and intense yet with short screen time in comparison to the movie's length. Superman's main motive for his actions is Lois and his romantic love for her. Their relationship drives them both to do death defying acts, which is viewed in a positive, un-criticizing manner.
There also might be a relationship developing between Batman and Wonder Woman.
I personally recommend it on account of the strong and emotional character study in this movie. - DirectorGriffin DunneStarsSandra BullockNicole KidmanStockard ChanningTwo witch sisters, raised by their eccentric aunts in a small town, face closed-minded prejudice and a curse which threatens to prevent them ever finding lasting love.Action: 2/5
Romance: 4/5
Personal: 5/5
An amazing romantic fantasy movie. Two witch sisters are possessed by the ghost of one's (Nicole Kidman) ex-lover (Goran Visnjic). An officer (sweet Aidan Quinn) who's investigating the death of the lover falls in love with the other sister (Sandra Bullock). - DirectorAndrew NiccolStarsSaoirse RonanMax IronsJake AbelWhen an unseen enemy threatens mankind by taking over their bodies and erasing their memories, Melanie Stryder risks everything to protect the people she cares about.Action: 2/5
Romance: 5/5
Personal: 5/5
Sci-fi romance about a girl who's possessed by a parasitic alien and the two guys she shares relationships with. Very interesting and intriguing film. - DirectorJerry HopperStarsCharlton HestonRobert YoungNicole MaureyAn adventurer searchers for hidden treasure in the Peruvian jungles.Action: 3/5
Romance: 5/5
Personal: 5/5
A personal favorite. An amazing romantic adventure movie about a charming thief of valuable artifacts and a European woman on the run who's asking for his help. Must watch! - DirectorDoug LimanStarsBrad PittAngelina JolieAdam BrodyA bored married couple is surprised to learn that they are both assassins hired by competing agencies to kill each other.Action: 5/5

Romance: 4/5
Personal: 3/5
A romantic fantasy that mostly feels like a romantic comedy with fantastic elements. As romantic comedies go it sometimes come off as a little flat, but still enjoyable for what it is and with really beautiful art. - DirectorColin StrauseGreg StrauseStarsEric BalfourDonald FaisonScottie ThompsonStrange lights descend on the city of Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame where an extraterrestrial force threatens to swallow the entire human population off the face of the Earth.Action: 4/5
Romance: 3/5
Personal: 4/5
A disaster movie that could've been better, sticking to its original concept more: During an alien invasion a woman has her boyfriend saved from abduction only to receive some alien like force with which he fights for the sake of both of them with the invaders.
A very interesting movie that could've easily reached the top of the list but won't, thanks to not enough emphasis on the main couple.
I love the couple's casting. I like the progress their characters go through. I just don't understand why there had to be so many scenes with characters other than the main couple, and why they couldn't deliver the whole story through them instead of boring, silly and flat side characters.
I would still recommend this movie as a romantic action flick, the action and visual effects are also remarkable considering the movie's low budget. - DirectorPatrick GilmoreTim JohnsonStarsBrad PittCatherine Zeta-JonesJoseph FiennesThe sailor of legend is framed by the goddess Eris for the theft of the Book of Peace and must travel to her realm at the end of the world to retrieve it and save the life of his childhood friend Prince Proteus.Action: 5/5
Romance: 3/5
Personal: 4/5
A pirate goes on a sea voyage with the woman of his captured friend in order to free him but they fall in love on the way. Very fun action and sweet but a little flat characters.
