Unless you are already excited about a lot of these, and considering I am probably speaking to a lot of film geeks right now, of course you are. And if you’re not a big fan of comic book movies, don’t worry, 4 of these 5 films are not made by Marvel (and when I get to Marvel, I kind of cheated a little), because there are a lot of other films to be excited about in 2014… as you will see.
When was the last time you went to watch a film in the cinema and watched a trailer for a movie that you didn’t already know about? If you are anything like me, this probably never happens (although, if I’m being completely honest, when I went to see The Dark Knight Rises I saw the trailer for Lawless… and for reasons beyond me, I had never heard of that film before then I am embarrassed to say).
A lot of the following films have been known and talked about for a very long time (one in particular rumored and talked about for almost a decade) and some of them have been included on this list mainly due to curiosity. And before you start biting my head off in the comments section (like you have been for my article 7 X-Men That Badly Need Recasting and Who Should Play Them) this isn’t a complete list, and of course there are other upcoming films this year that a lot of you are probably excited about. I’m sorry if I haven’t included them… but feel free to post them in the comments section.
So, here they are, the five (kind of) films being released in 2014 that you should be excited about right now… if you aren’t already wetting your pants with excitement. That is, of course, if the world hasn’t ended by then ( and I don’t know about you, but I’m probably thinking the earth is safe for now).

FYI… the reason the first sentence in this article doesn’t make any sense is because WhatCulture changed the title slightly… it was original 5 Upcoming Films in 2014 You Should Start Getting Excited About.
Godzilla.
I will admit though, I am excited for most of the Marvel Movies slated for 2014.
What about the new American version of Godzilla? It was recently announced that it will be released in 2014! Godzilla is definitely number one on my list!
Because of the last terrible American remake I have to admit that the Godzilla movie in 2014 wasn’t even on my radar and I’ve never really cared for the character. But seeing that Gareth Edwards (Monsters) is set to direct, with a screenplay by David S. Goyer (Man of Steel, The Dark Knight, Dark City) I am now excited. Also, the concept art looks really good. Could turn out absolutely terrible though, but good suggestion.
Great list. Thank you so so much for making Kill Bill Vol. 3 number 1 – I too have been waiting for this since 2004 and can hardly contain my excitement! Also, the slew of Marvel films coming out in the future should be exciting, as should Robopocalypse (I didn’t realize Goddard was writing – so awesome!) and Aronofsky’s Noah – a movie I wouldn’t be excited for without his name attached. I would have rather seen him direct The Wolverine, but beggars can’t be choosers.
Agree so much about Aronofsky’s The Wolverine (I was so excited about him directing this when he was going too, now he’s not, I’m not really excited for the film. It would have been such an interesting direction for one of my favorite directors to take. Shame he isn’t making it).
Kill Bill Vol. 3 can not come soon enough… man will this be good. Kill Bill 1 is definitely in my top ten films of all time, including the Crazy 88 scene, which I consider the best film scene of all time.
