2014 was a strange year for films. Most of them were
adaptations of Young Adult Novels featuring dystopia-futures where the youngsters
played by people who are likely my age or slightly older have to fight to the
death of arbitrary reasons. And while I may not have said it often, I’m tired
of seeing these kinds of adaptations everywhere because they all basically have
the same ideology that the future will suck and these teenage gobshites are
going to be the ones to somehow make it suck less with their angsty romance
subplots.
But I say no to this foolishness. No such nonsense will make
my list this year as we will focus on films that are fun, exciting, and adapted
from more interesting things like comics, manga, or lucid fever dreams. Here we
go with the best films of 2014 (as decided by me).
