And then action movies like Die Hard feature memorable, likeable main characters whereas The Raid's main character is just...a dude who punches good. Just not really what I look for in an action movie although I'm still happy I watched it and I will check out the sequel at some point

It's pretty funny that you bring up John Wick and consider The Raid subpar to it when John Wick's action scenes were inspired by The Raid and other movies that feature the single camera Hall fights. It's like you are ****ting on the movie that is even the main reason John Wick was created. So weird.
