Cinemaos 9 films directed by James Gunn, from the worst to the best, according to Rolling Stone

James Gunnthe name at the head of the new DC (DCU) cinematic universe, did not reach the position for nothing. After being fired from Marvel by a series of offensive tweets that came up, the director was hired by DC to lead the studio’s new directions, starting with Superman.

Known for his irreverent mood and talent to transform unlikely heroes into pop culture icons, Gunn It has already undergone productions of terror to the scraped comedy. Rolling Stone He organized a ranking with the filmmaker’s 9 films, the least inspired to the brightest. Check it out:

9th For greater (2013)

Let’s start our list with one that is not quite a feature but a segment. Gunnwith several other directors, directed Beezelinfamous segment For greateranthological film that brings together several bizarre and offensive skits, and almost no hit. His stretch involves a jealous cat in love with the owner, lived by Josh Duhamel (A safe haven), who does everything to push the girlfriend lived by Elizabeth Banks (The panthers). The eschatological and disconcerting mood even has the mark of Gunnbut everything is more embarrassing than provocative. It’s last because … right? Nor should he want to remember that.

8th Super (2010)

Here, Gunn He was still finding his tone. Super It is a violent and dark comedy over a “hero” without power, lived by Rainn Wilson (The Office), which really needs therapy. Has good ideas, criticism of vigilantism and intense performances (Elliot Page It’s big feature), but the movie seems to want to be provocative all the time, which makes everything a little tiring. It’s like seeing a friend trying to force a joke until losing grace. It is not a disaster, but before others of the filmography of Gunn It is right behind.

7th Creeping beings (2006)

Creeping beings It is a great copy of the “disgusting horror” with movie soul B and fan heart heart A hallucinating night. It’s funny, bloody, and has that spirit of uncompromising fun. MICHAEL ROOKERthat would return to work with Gunn in Guardians of the Galaxyis having fun. But even with all the charm trashyou can feel that the director was still rehearsing as a director – a little emotional weight and real impact. Cool but not memorable.

6th Guardians of the Galaxy: Special of Parties (2022)

One spin-off cute and festive that looks like a Christmas letter made by the trilogy’s own characters Guardians of the Galaxy. Drax (Dave Bautista, Knock on the door) and mantis (Pom klementieff, Mission: Impossible the final hit) lead this story that has hilarious moments (Kevin Bacon Being kidnapped is pure gold), in a light, silly and Christmas tone – which is exactly the proposal. Just no longer rises in the ranking because it’s a small movie, almost a treat for fans. Good, but clearly an appetizer.

5th Superman (2025)

James Gunn He was summoned to this ungrateful mission: to start everything in DC. And he did it as surprisingly as possible in Superman: lightly. Forget the dark tone and the tormented heroes of the past. The new Superman (David Corenswet, Pearl) is colorful, optimistic and accessible. It is a new beginning for the DC cinematic universe. Only the future will say what it came to, but the beginning is promising.

4th Guardians of the galaxy vol. 3 (2023)

The perfect closure for one of the most beloved trilogies in Marvel’s cinematic universe. Guardians of the galaxy vol. 3 It is the most emotional movie of Gunn and one of the mature ones. Focuses on Rocket’s painful past Bradley Cooper), has moments of hallucinating action and closes bows with weight. It is beautiful, sad, funny and epic. It almost reached the top 3, but 4th place is praiseworthy!

3rd The Suicide Squad (2021)

Here, Gunn There was carte blanche to do whatever he wanted after the disaster that was Suicide squad (2016) David Ayer (Iron Hearts); And the result was delicious, bloody and anarchic chaos. Much better than the disastrous previous movie of the team, The Suicide Squad Mixing political satire, absurd jokes and moments of unexpected emotion (who would say we would care about the gift?). Gunn He has fun with violence, but also gives depth to characters like Ratos 2 and the bloodthirsty. A full and deserving 3rd place in the director’s filmography.

2nd Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

The first big hit of James Gunn, Guardians of the Galaxy He took him to the stardom and showed that he could make a Marvel blockbuster with a talking raccoon and a tree that only speaks.I’m groot“. It’s original, funny and charisma, with a very tuned cast. If today Marvel looks repetitive, Guardians The opposite proved in 2014. It is not on top because volume 2 managed to refine this formula further.

1 Guardians of the galaxy vol. 2 (2017)

It may seem controversial and could even decree a draw with the 2014 feature, but Guardians of the galaxy vol. 2 It deserves the title of champion of our list. The plot about paternity, ego and belonging hits hard, and he gets it right by giving depth to the characters we love. Yondu (MICHAEL ROOKER) has gained unexpected layers and became one of the franchise’s most striking characters. This is also here that the concept of family arises by which the guardians would be marked, besides having the best groot of the three films, which is the Baby Groot. With sharp humor, psychedelic look and heart – very heart – is the movie where Gunn More prints your signature without losing your pop soul.
