I understand the frustration with graphic novel series going on forever, that's one of the reasons I went with Time for the win. In some ways it's a story in a single panel. I'm OK with the category generally, the Hugo's are about storytelling, that's why they have the other categories. Like the one I ranked next, Dramatic Presentation Long Form. So a fancy way of saying movies
Anyway, I had to run out and rent a couple of these, yay Red Box! Glad I did though, cause one of them I enjoyed way more than I thought I would.
1. Gravity
2. Pacific Rim
3. Catching Fire
4. Frozen
5. Iron Man 3
Large range here IMO. I had to debate long and hard with myself about Gravity and Pacific Rim, since I really enjoyed both. Ultimately I went with Gravity because of the human, smaller scale element. I get a little tired of last minute saves from world ending events. Catching Fire came in next, mainly because this is for the movie, not the book, and I felt that it suffered by comparison, but was still better than the other two. Frozen and Iron Man 3 were in race for the bottom IMO. Iron Man took the bottom slot, as I was seriously disappointed by it. Worst of it's series, and probably worst super hero movie generally. Frozen gets 4 cause it at least had decent music. I'm not a Disney fan, really glad I don't have kids so I'll never have to watch it again. It felt formulaic and predictable, and I have issues with Disney's portrayal of gender and gender roles.
Anyway, fun category, I never would have seen Gravity without it, so happy about that.
