This was definitely one of the biggest rounds of the season, thanks to the biggest film of the season, Superman: The Man of Tomorrow. Here's The Roundup....
3. Amber Heard
I think she was the absolute perfect choice for the title role in Julie. She has an alluring quality that makes things believable. That's a creature I'd fall in love with too.
2. The Letter J
I was surprised by the quality of the story here. I think Alex Conn all too often falls in love with a character and forgets to develop the characters and plot, but that wasn't the case here.
1. Superman: The Man of Tomorrow
John Malone's superhero debut lived up to the expectations in my opinion. It gave us a different version of Superman than we've really seen before, and felt grounded while still fitting into the overall DC Comics Universe. I'm excited to see where he goes next.
3. Miles Teller
He just seemed miscast in Julie. He can be a strong actor given the right material, but he seemed on autopilot here. Teller is better at angrier, more aggressive characters. This role felt like his role from Siren all over again.
2. Julie
I would say I didn't quite like the story, but I've watched the film multiple times now and there doesn't really appear to be much of a story. Julie is discovered and she explains and shows her condition, but that's about it.
1. Soundtracks
Only one soundtrack in the last four rounds. I did not like the soundtrack to The Letter J. The music just didn't seem to fit the tone of the story. Maybe if the story wa set in the mid-90s all of the Nirvana would make sense, but in the present day it is more distracting than anything else.
