We all love to watch movies; there is something magical about the on-screen stories that transport us in a virtual time and world. We love to laugh, cry and get scared or amazed by what we see on the silver screen. With so little time and so much to do, you might not find much time to catch up with all the movies that compete for your attention. So we thought we will compile a list that will inform you about the best among the best movies of this year and if you wish to know know more you must go here.
Even if you did not saw the part one of this great animated movie; you can still enjoy the part two. The original flick was one of the grossing box-office movies for its makers, Dream Works Animation. As for the story – Five years have passed since the original story and our hero Hiccup is innovatively educating himself with YouTube videos. Another conflict is on the horizon between Vikings and dragons and Hiccup and friends have to find a way to save the world. Released on 13 June, the film has already grossed $355,405,000 worldwide and counting.
Remember the Hindi movie Gajini that had Aamir Khan with short term memory loss? Most of you might be aware that the movie was based on Momento that got rave reviews when it was released. Well, the cinematographer of Memeno, Wally Pfister has now turned director and has released his first directorial feature film Transcendence this year. This movie takes A.I (Artificial Intelligence) theme to next level with scientist Johnny Depp’s consciousness uploaded in the virtual world in an effort to create a superior computer intelligence. While a group of terrorist is hell bent to destroy the project. Is it only an effort to make a better intelligence or a secret plot to destroy Humanity? Released on 18 April, the film is yet to recover its budget of 100 million USD hence we have it at number nine on our list.
The only other movie that makes to our list is at number eight. How can a man sold as slave become a God? Simple; by the force of his strength and warrior skills. When he goes out after a Warlord on the orders of the King of Thrace, he certainly wasn’t expecting three-headed world of two-headed snake of the swamp. But then life is never as easy as we would want it to be; so why should the super-heroes or demi-gods get a fair deal. Faced with an endless series of challenges, Hercules must prove that he has got what it takes to become a Greek God of strength.
The eternal bachelor George Clooney dons many hats, one of which is movie director. His movie Confessions of A Dangerous Mindwas critically acclaimed. Now, he’s back with a new movie that tells the story of a platoon send to Nazi Germany by the American President to recover priceless masterpieces of arts before Hitler orders their destruction. The director also stars in the movie with a great cast assembled – reminds you of Ocean Eleven and its sequels? The film has already grossed $154,984,035 worldwide and is certainly one of the must see movie of this year.
Can the makers of cult movie-series Matrix, recreate the magic? Well, the Wachowskis certainly hope to do that with their new outing -Jupiter Ascending. This Science Fiction story is about a Russian toilet-cleaner, whose DNA matches with the Queen of Universe – we wonder who or what that is? They have got the cast, resources and eccentric plot; let us see if the makers can wow the audience a-la-a Keanu Reeves antics in
One of the most keenly awaited movie of the season; the plot of this flick is intense. A group of archaeology students go beneath the Paris streets to find the piece of history they are searching for. Instead they find the remains of millions of human beings – bones, skulls et al. The catacombs they use to access the underground macabre sight and the narrow passages only add up to the surreal atmosphere and the inner and outer horrors that greet them. Is there an escape from this nightmare? You will have to see the movie to find out.
Clearly one of the most awaited comedies of this season, this movie is number four on our list of must watch movies this year. The unlikely hit of the year 2012 that had the audience rolling in laughter is back with its next installment. If you haven’t seen the first part yet, we suggest you buy or rent a DVD of the same. Director Phil Lord returns Jenko and Schmidt, who are ready to go undercover again – last time it was school and this time it will be college. Let’s see if the sequel matches up or surpasses the original?
There was no denying Brad Pitt’s star power even before he joined forces with Angelina Jolie and became the brand Brangelina. One of the worlds’s most loved and admired actor comes back to the theater with his big release. In this story he plays the role of a tank commander taking his soldiers behind enemy lines in World War II. Germany is losing the war, and there is chaos and madness everywhere, Brad and his troops must find their way in this chaotic theater of war to accomplish their task – but would be that simple?
At number two we have selected a movie that can become the next Oscar show-stopper. You take a best loved musical tale, get an A list cast led by Johnny Depp, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt with a great director. And what do you have there? An Oscar winning movie that will set the cash registers ringing at the box office. Based on Brothers Grimm fairy tales, the story is actually a connection of several fairy tales and the characters in it. All of it tied together neatly with the baker, his wife and the Witch that places curse of them. It allows the audience to relive the magic of childhood – with this movie, Disney Pictures have a potential winner at its hands.
Straight at number 1 comes a movie fans across the world have been waiting for. We will admit it; we are biased and partial, when it comes to our favorite movie. We absolutely loved the first two movies of the Hobbit series and hope you also found them terrific. The J. R. R. Tolkien books that were made into successful movies with Lord of the Ring trilogy are the basis of Hobbit series as well. We saw in An Unexpcted Journey how dwarfs managed to take the reluctant bulgur Hobbit along to reclaim their mountain kingdom from the fire-breathing dragon. The antics of magician Gandalf in the sequel, The desolation of Sumag and the array of villains and allies only added to the narrative tension. The eagerly awaited concluding movie of the series will resolve the many queries and take the quest and struggle to even a higher level, we hope.
The year 2014 is an exciting year for the Hollywood movies, with the primary focus on Fairytales and Science Fiction. With nearly half the year already gone, we had our share of hits and flops. Irrespective of the box office collection there are few movies that we forget and some that we remember for a long time. Sharing is caring; do share this post will those who you think will find it interesting and don't forget to get more facts at www.top10reviews.in . As always we will love to read your reactions.
