Glen Powell Movies Ranked by Tomatometer

We’re taking a look at Glen Powell’s moves by Tomatometer! We start with his Certified Fresh movies, where his charismatic, slick everyman appeal got him a 2016 break with Richard Linklater‘s baseball comedy Everybody Wants Some!!, and playing astronaut John Glenn in Hidden Figures. He’s been a part of two persistent box office success: Top Gun: Maverick (it flies high on our list of the 300 best movies of all time), with its cross-generational appeal that brought back millions of people who hadn’t been to a theater since the pandemic lockdown, and Anyone But You, his co-starring production with Sydney Sweeney that brought sexy sizzle back to the rom-com.

In 2024, he re-teamed with Linklater for Hit Man, and Powell has his biggest test yet as the lead in the anticipated summer blockbuster, Twisters.

#4

#11

#12

Adjusted Score: 19088%

Critics Consensus: Ride Along 2 presents a cop-comedy sequel whose well-matched stars can’t break the law of diminishing returns — or lock up a script that unabashedly steals from the original.
