- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023): While Vol. 2 is a strong contender, Vol. 3 is a better 'Guardians' movie overall. Pratt's Star-Lord has a fantastic arc, and the entire cast delivers a memorable ending.
- Avengers: Infinity War (2018): Pratt's Star-Lord has a crucial role in this epic, with a heart-wrenching moment that will stay with you. His chemistry with Chris Hemsworth's Thor is a highlight.
- Avengers: Endgame (2019): Another Marvel masterpiece, but this time, Star-Lord only appears at the end. It's a limited role, but the impact is still significant.
- Jurassic World (2015): The first Jurassic World movie is a decent, scary adventure, and Pratt's performance as Owen Grady is one of the reasons it works. He trains raptors, after all!
- The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019): While not as perfect as its predecessor, this sequel is still inventive and fun. Pratt's voice as Emmet is a highlight, even if the story is a bit weaker.
- Onward (2020): A Pixar movie that almost ended the world, Onward is an enjoyable, emotional adventure. Pratt's role as the brother elf is excellent, and it's a film that's worth watching.
- Her (2013): This Spike Jonze classic is a must-watch, and Pratt's supporting role is memorable. It's a unique, thought-provoking film that holds up well.
- Jennifer's Body (2009): A film ahead of its time, Jennifer's Body is a horror-comedy gem. Pratt's role is not particularly memorable, but the film is a cult classic.
- Wanted (2008): An action-packed adaptation starring Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy. Pratt's role is not central, but it's a fun, entertaining movie.
- Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018): The first sequel in the Jurassic World series is a mix of normal Jurassic movie and haunted house movie. Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard have good chemistry, making it watchable.
- The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023): A mega-hit that divided fans, but even those who love it acknowledge that Pratt wasn't the best choice as Mario. He does his best, though.
- The Tomorrow War (2021): A sci-fi adventure with an awesome premise, but it doesn't quite live up to it. Pratt's performance is solid, but the movie is a bit underwhelming.
- The Electric State (2025): A Netflix movie that's bad in a watchable way. It's a large, eye-popping adventure that's worth a watch, even if it's not great.
- Passengers (2016): On paper, this movie had all the potential, but the premise is a bit problematic. Pratt's character dooms a woman to death, and it's a unique combo of big stars and a major film that doesn't quite work.
- Thor: Love and Thunder (2022): Pratt's inclusion felt like a factory-mandated request, and his role is not important. It's a movie that's not great, but it's watchable.
- The Garfield Movie (2024): This list takes us in reverse order of Chris Pratt's voiceover journey. By the time this movie came around, casting Pratt felt lazy and uninspired. And the movie wasn't far behind.
- TBD – Mercy (2026): We're cautiously optimistic about Pratt's latest sci-fi film. The premise is inventive, and the trailers are solid. We'll see how it turns out.
- Wanted (2008): Did you remember Chris Pratt was in this movie? We sure didn't. It's a fun, entertaining adaptation, but is it really a Chris Pratt movie? Not really, so it ranks lower on the list.
- Onward (2020): A Pixar movie that almost ended the world. While it's not top-tier, it's enjoyable and emotional. Pratt's role is excellent, and it's a film worth watching.
