Well, as sad as it is to say, Summer is once again officially over. I had a good deal of fun, and to commemorate another summer ended here is my top films of summer 2014 list.
6. Transformers: Age of Extinction- Almost 3 hours of things going BOOM and giants robots fighting. Can it get tiring? sure! However, this was still the event film of Summer 2014. This really was like Michael Bay dropping the mic and walking away. Michael Bay made his point, and now he can retire from the directors chair for the Transformers films (which he has). He's earned some down time.
5. 22 Jump Street- Every bit as funny, cool, and fun as the original.
4. Purge: Anarchy- I walked in expecting this film to be crap. Imagine my surprise when it ended up being great, grind house fun.
3. Edge of Tomorrow- Tom Cruise's best film in quite a while. It is refreshing to see him play such a whimpering coward for the first act of the film, and it is always endless amounts of fun watching him die again and again and again. This is pretty meaty sci-fi with top notch action, not to mention the 3-D was surprisingly top notch.
2. Dawn of Apes- The film delivered everything I was expecting and more! Great action scenes, some of the best acting we've seen this year, a great story, and some great complex themes and messages, not to mention it actually made me think.
1. Guardians of The Galaxy- DUH! A film that understands sometimes all you need is some classic tunes, some good laughs, some amazing characters, and some cool action. This film had it all. Laughs, emotions, character development! I could go on for hours about my love for this film, but I'll leave you with this: The film's main message is that dark, brooding evil will never ever win over good-hearted goofiness. The pure hearted weirdos of the world will always win in the end. That's a message I can get behind!
