Ryan Reynolds Movies

Want to know the best Ryan Reynolds movies?  How about the worst Ryan Reynolds movies?  Curious about Ryan Reynolds’s box office grosses or which Ryan Reynolds movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Ryan Reynolds movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences and which ones got the worst reviews? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.

Ryan Reynolds is a Canadian actor who has been starring in movies since 2002. His IMDb page shows 85 acting credits since 1991. This page will rank Ryan Reynolds movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information. Television shows, shorts, cameos and movies that were not released in North American theaters were not included in the rankings.

Drivel Part: (That is what my wife calls this part of the page).   A few months ago, while visiting my wife’s family in Alabama, my wife and I were talking to my sister-in-law’s boyfriend. Phil. Somehow the conversation turned to this website.  As is often the case…. we asked who his favorite actor was.  A good percentage of the time when someone answers that question, we already have a page on that actor.  My wife opened up her I-Pad, preparing to show Phil his favorite actor’s page. However when Phil said…”Ryan Reynolds……I shook my head no… the wife closed the I-Pad…we could only tell him that we take requests.  So…..fast forward to a few days ago.  My mother-in-law called and was telling me that she had just seen a great movie.  She highly recommended that I watch Woman in Gold as soon as possible.  Yesterday, I got a chance to watch and really enjoy Woman in Gold. Turns out my mother-in-law has good tastes in movies.   Woman In Gold might have Reynolds’ best performance in a movie yet.  So, with Reynolds’ outstanding performance fresh in my head, and the fact that I am really struggling with an Orson Welles page….I figured it was time to finally write a Ryan Reynolds page.

  1. Ryan Reynolds, one of my favorites thanks to Deadpool. Hmm I doubt Bob has seen any of the films up there since he put away ‘childish things’ a looong time ago. [Bob growls] 😉

    I’ve seen 19 of the 37 films on the chart. Favorites include- Deadpool 1-2, X-Men Origins Wolverine, Green Lantern, The Croods, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, Life, Blade Trinity and R.I.P.D.

    Did Deadpool 2 get better reviews than the first one? I enjoyed them both but the first one was a lot better IMO, too much centering on the fat kid in no.2.

    I wonder how Deadpool would be handled now that Disney owns Fox? I hope they don’t go all PG-13 on the ‘Merc With a Mouth’.

    Not sure Pikachu is my cup of tea, I did enjoy The Croods though.

    Good stuff Bruce. Vote Up!

    1. Hey Steve. I am up to 31 seen. That includes not seeing Once Upon A Deadpool. Was that movie a success on re-release? It grossed less than 10 million in theaters…but was that good or bad? Will Disney be able to sell Deadpool dolls now? I hope so…somebody needs to cut Disney a break….that need to be able to earn money…lol.

      “Did Deadpool 2 get better reviews than the first one? I enjoyed them both but the first one was a lot better IMO, too much centering on the fat kid in no.2.” – Yes it did…..not sure that is still the case two years later….the last time I updated that review score was about 2 months after it’s release. Essentially the comic book fans, liked the movie but not as much as the first one…..while professional critics liked it more than the first one. At 81% and 80%…..it is essentially too close to call.

      I was so glad neither of my little ones had no interest in seeing Pokemon Detective Pikachu. I will watch it when it releases home entertainment. Thanks for the re-visit to my almost brother-in-law’s requested page. Good feedback.

  2. Saw Pikachu last night with my niece. She loved it! I liked it. Reynolds is easily the best part of movie.

    1. Good to hear from you Helakoski. Thanks for the mini-review of Pokemon Detective Pikachu. Luckily for me….neither of my little ones want to see the movie. Now their older brothers saw the animated Pokemon movies from years ago in theaters…..so I am glad I do not have to repeat that experience…lol.

  3. Now I’m going to tell you something I’ve told very few people. I’m ashamed to say back in 2002 I gave Van Wilder 4 stars, I thought it was hilarious at a sneak preview. It’s goes down with other 4 star gems to me like A Dog’s Purpose and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (what was I thinking).

    1. Hey Dan
      1. First….sorry I did not respond to this comment much faster….but hopefully the saying….better late than never fits here…lol.
      2. Secondly….thanks as always for putting together this massive amount of trivia on Ryan Reynolds and his co-stars.
      3. Thirdly….What! You loved Van Wilder? How can that be? That makes no sense!…lol. Actually I liked the movie a lot myself. My older kids loved that movie. Looking back on it now….you see a lot of the Deadpool humor in the movie.
      4. So he has a spot in the Top 1000……I imagine he will continue to move up….especially since he is in the prime of his career. As I type this comment…..it looks like his latest movie, Detective Pikachu has a chance to upseat the massive box office machine, Avengers:Endgame this weekend.
      5. Not too many multiple co-stars in the first list…..and no Michael Caine…..but I will not hold that against him.
      6. Only 20 Oscar winning co-stars…..not thinking he is going to challenge Caine’s number anytime soon.
      Good stuff always.
