And that's a wrap on Season 27's slate of films. Here's The Roundup....
3. Superhero Films
This season has multiple superhero films that could very much be in serious consideration in the various GRA categories. It will certainly be an interesting thing to keep an eye on as the voting season is about to begin.
2. GRA Races
I think this is going to be an interesting GRA season. There is a three-way tie for the best reviewed film of the season. Plus the Best Actress race is stronger than most seasons.
1. Swamp Thing 2
Another long awaited DC sequel arrived, and I felt like it was worth the wait. It is obviously hard to have a swamp monster as a main character, but I think APJ managed that as well he could have. It was also great to see Ian McShane back as the villain.
3. Idlewild Ranch
I definitely didn't hate Idlewild Ranch, but something about the film just never felt quite right. The tone of the film was very schizophrenic, the story was a bit hokey, and the genres never mixed well. I wanted to like this one more than I could in the end. The writing itself was pretty entertaining, but the scenes just didn't combine correctly.
2. The Giver of Stars
All of the characters felt like stereotypes and the story in The Giver of Stars seemed like an after-thought for the filmmakers.
1. Box Office
Obviously the box office was a common complaint this season. Even with Swamp Thing 2 making a pretty good amount of money, The Giver of Stars and Idlewild Ranch lost so much money that the studio barely made a profit in Round 10.
