But. So many of ya'll have asked me what the big movies are 2014 are going to be, I've gone ahead and put together a quick list of movies that should have a big draw. You'll notice many of them are sequels and adaptations, which makes sense since we know there's already a fan base of the material. You'll also notice almost all are action movies, since it is especially hard to predict the future of indie movies. So, with the disclaimer that there will be many, many, many good movies to come out that I haven't listed and that some of these might turn out to be flops, here are some movies I'm looking forward to in 2014.
