The Roundup with Jeff Stockton (Season 34 Round 1)

 

 

 

Season 33 is finally here! Here's The Roundup....

3. N/A

2. Holden Abbott

While I had some issues with Exodus, it still served as a nice debut for new writer Holden Abbott. Welcome to LRF!

1. Sgt. Rock

I can't say I'm particularly familiar with this character from the DC Comics mythos, but the filmmakers turned it into a fun, old-school, Indiana Jones-esque adventure tale.

3. Exodus

Exodus feels like one of those films that was designed by AI to try to get Brad Pitt an award. It's certainly not a bad film, but it feels a bit hollow and predictable at times.

2. Mises

Who was this film for? Every character is unlikable and completely devoid of any arcs. While the filmmakers may have connected to the source material themselves, that connection did not translate into an interesting or coherent story.

1. Profits

Last season, profits hit an all-time low. The start of this season does not provide an optimistic outlook. Sgt. Rock was a big success, but it was immediately followed by two financial flops that almost canceled it out.
