Who else agrees that this past year was one of the best years for original movie releases in at least a decade? So many blockbuster hits that were unbelievable, as well as a ton of underrated films. First and foremost, being the ever more impressive comic book universe (both Marvel and DC) movies such as; Man of Steel, Iron Man 3, the Wolverine, and soon to be Thor 2 later this year. Also, along the same lines, Kick-Ass 2, and the new Star Trek: Into Darkness. Not to mention the many unbelievable action films, mainly Olympus Has Fallen. If you haven't seen Olympus Has Fallen, I recommend you do so immediately. Gerard Butler plays a phenomenal role, even more bad ass than Law Abiding Citizen in my opinion. Then there are also the amazing comedies released this year, such as; This is the End, We're the Millers, 21 & Over, and the Internship. Don't forget some of the incredible horror movies such as; Insidious Chapter 2, the Conjuring, and Mama. Maybe you can throw the Purge in there somewhere with thriller movies, definitely a great movie and original idea... Until you get to the last twenty minutes or so, and you realize that the ending is a complete disaster. And finally, Now You See Me. This, one of my personal favorites for this year, was an utter masterpiece. Inception as a magic show. A simply mind-blowing suspenseful and action packed original take on a Robin Hood based ideology as a plot. These movies are absolutely incredible, and with about two months to go this year, there are sure to be a few more before the year's end. If you haven't seen some of these movies, I definitely recommend checking them out. Let me know your thoughts? I'd love to know what everyone else thinks about this list. Maybe add or subtract a few?
