Whether it be comedy or action or indie drama or animation, Chris Pratt is known as one of the most beloved actors working in movies today and has carved out a place as one of the most unique superheroes to ever conquer the ever-increasingly popular genre.
The actor has amassed a huge number of fans through his work in TV and movies and many of them may often ask themselves which of his movies are considered to be the best. This list will look at Chris Pratt's 10 best movies so far according to scores on review aggregate site Metacritic to help answer that question.
Wanted (64)
One of the actor's many ing roles before finding success as a leading man, Pratt appeared in this adaptation of the comic series of the same name alongside main actor, and fellow future Marvel superhero, James McAvoy.
He plays an unlikable and disloyal friend of McAvoy's downtrodden office worker but gets his comeuppance when they discover hidden abilities relating to a secret league of assassins.
The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (65)
The sequel to the surprise success of The Lego Movie didn't quite rekindle the strong box office reaction to the first movie but critics were still largely enamored with the movie's quirky sense of humor from screenwriters Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
Picking up where the cliffhanger of the first movie left off, Chris Pratt returns to voice the infectiously upbeat main character, Emmett, as well a new character that acts as a fun nod to/debatable criticism of Pratt's lead machismo character from the Jurassic World movies.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (67)
Though still a huge box office success and well-liked by both critics and audiences in general, the second Guardians of the Galaxy movie wasn't quite as beloved the original and just made it into the 10 worst-reviewed movies of the MCU by Metacritic's calculations.
Pratt returns as his immature space adventurer, Star-Lord, in a story focussing on his character's mysterious family history which was teased at the end of the first installment.
Avengers: Infinity War (68)
Pratt's first Avengers movie was one of the better ones in the eyes of fans and critics though still a ways off from the best. He returns as Star-Lord in the movie and teams up with Spider-Man in space.
Finally confronting the big bad villain of both the individual Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and the wider MCU, Thanos, Pratt's character makes some grave decisions in the course of the movie's plot.
Guardians of the Galaxy (76)
Pratt's real breakthrough role in of being a leading man in movies, Marvel Studio's seemingly-risky venture, about a group of little-known space superheroes, made left-field blockbuster filmmaking look like a cakewalk.
Dancing his way into the hearts of millions in the opening scene, Pratt's interstellar pirate became an icon for the era and instantly sold the actor as an action hero.
Avengers: Endgame (78)
The fourth Avengers movie broke major box office records with its incredible run in theaters and brought a satisfying end to the MCU's 'Infinity Saga'.
Similarly to a number of major actors, Pratt doesn't appear for very long in the movie due to the story's events following on from his character's calamitous decisionmaking in Infinity War.
The Lego Movie (83)
The Lego Movie caught many critics and general moviegoers off guard with its emotional and genuinely hilarious storytelling and gave Pratt a hit movie just before the explosive success of Guardians of the Galaxy.
Though only a voice role, the part of Emmett perfectly demonstrated Pratt's energetic charms as an actor that had been previously seen by TV audiences in Parks and Recreation.
Moneyball (87)
Bennett Miller's biographical sports drama starred Brad Pitt as real-life baseball manager Billy Beane alongside Jonah Hill, both of whom were nominated for Oscars for their performances in the movie.
Pratt stars as real-life player Scott Hatteberg and takes a relatively minor role in the story that showcases the actor's dramatic talents above his typically comedic ones.
Her (90)
Depicting a man's relationship with the AI program that lives in his personal devices, sci-fi that deftly explores contemporary attitudes towards love and companionship.
Taking another minor role as a co-worker of Wanted and taps into his inherent lovability.
Zero Dark Thirty (95)
Another relatively small, but very powerful, role for Pratt as he was just beginning to stand out with his movie characters, the actor plays one of the Navy SEALs tasked with raiding a compound believed to house Osama bin Laden.
Though the relevance of the raid to the overall story places it at the end, it's by far the most important and electrifying scene of the movie and is one of the most well-ed aspects of the Oscar-winning production.
