The Maze Runner (2014)
Tomatometer Guess : 62%
Note: I have a feeling that since this movie might be criticized for being yet another YA novel turned into a movie. But who knows, maybe it could bring something new to the table.
Actual Score : 63%. Almost a perfect guess. Having seen the movie I can say that it's okay, it's probably not going to be winning any awards but it's not terrible

The Equalizer (2014)
Tomatometer Guess : 72%
Actual Score : 62%. Not a great movie, but a very entertaining one, and Denzel Washington kicked major ass like always.

Gone Girl (2014)
Tomatometer Guess : 86%
Actual Score : 88%. I was pretty close. I'd definitely recommend it if you're a fan of the book, or the director David Fincher.

Annabelle (2014)
Tomatometer Guess : 60%
Actual Score : 30%. Half of what I guessed it would be. I was disappointed by this movie. The characters weren't very smart, the acting is horrible (The acting In The Conjuring was One Of its strengths), And It's totally Unscary.

Actual Score : 50%. A lot lower than expected. Somewhat disappointed, the acting was great, but the movie was really predictable at times.

Dracula Untold (2014)
Tomatometer Guess : 17%
Actual Score : 25%. Slightly Higher score than expected. While it's not as bad as I thought it would be, and some of the special effects were nice, it was a forgettable action movie. If this is a hint at what's in the Universal Cinematic Universe movies look like, I have very low expectations.

As of now, Birdman has a 94%, on rotten tomatoes, way better than I expected it to be.
Actual Score : 93%. Probably the funniest movie I've seen all year. Michael Keaton and Edward Norton were great.

Actual Score : 9%. Perfect guess. The movie itself was boring predictable and completely unscary. Sad thing is that because it has such a small budget ($5 Million), it will probably make more money than John Wick, a much better movie.

Note : Jake Gyllenhaal has been on a role lately, and with the cast that this movie has, it should be pretty good.
Actual Score : 94%. Much higher than I expected, and rightfully so. Jake Gyllenhaal gives his most chilling performance yet and steals the show in this thrilling, darkly funny, and unsettling film. Give it a watch.

Dumb and Dumber To (2014)
Tomatometer Guess : 57%
Actual Score : 27% Much lower than the prediction, but I'm not surprised. I honestly didn't hate it as much as I thought I would, but I would be lying if I said that this were as good as the original, or if I'd ever rush so see this movie again.

Actual Score : 68%. This movie was very well-acted, and intriguing with its political themes, but was lacking in the action department and suffers from being a 2 hour set up for Part 2.

Penguins of Madagascar (2014)
Tomatometer Guess : 67%
Actual Score : 68%. While I've never been the biggest fan of the Madagascar movies, I do enjoy seeing those penguins. If you're looking for something to make you laugh, then you and your children (if you have any) should have a good time with this.

Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)
Tomatometer Guess : 76%
Note: Ridley Scott's movies haven't been up to par, but this one might be pretty good.
Actual Score : 26%. Way lower than i expected. In this case, I think the score was too low. Sure, the movie had some pacing issues, but the acting was good, the special effects amazing, and it had some entertaining action sequences.

Note : This movie technically is released worldwide on January 9, 2015.
Actual Score : 73%. Lower than I thought, but still fresh. Although I'll have to wait until January to give my thoughts on the movie.

Actual Score : 28%. Holy Hell, that was painful. I'm not even exaggerating guys, this was bad. The already predictable story is made worse by the 2 hour runtime, the acting is hokey.(Particularly Cameron Diaz, who is just painful to watch). I like all of these actors, but they're was nothing they could do to save this script.
But the most unforgivable sin of the movie is the songs. The songs do nothing to progress the story, and most of the actors are blatantly lip syncing. When you can't even make lip syncing look convincing in a movie, that's when you know you screwed up.
Overall, this movie is a boring and unnecessary update of the original. Avoid it at all costs.

Into the Woods (2014)
Tomatometer Guess : 65%
Actual Score : 72%, slightly higher than I predicted, a very well made musical film, even if the 3rd act wasn't as strong as the rest of the film.
Well, that's about it for 2014, at least that's it for the movies on this list. Overall despite a few disappointments (TASM 2, Transcendence) and stinkers (Legend of Hercules, Transformers 4), it's been a great year for films. Later today I'll be making a list for January and February 2015.

This list was partially inspired by AVPGuyver21's list. I have no intention of copying or plagiarizing. Anyway, here are my predictions for upcoming movies. I'll make a list for 2015 in either late December or early January.
Note : I will post the actual Rotten Tomatoes scores for the movies when they are released, as well as write my thoughts on them.
