All 26 of Chris Pine's Movies, Ranked

Chris Pine has been acting in movies for a solid 15 years or so, and he’s been getting lead roles more or less since he came on the scene in his mid-20s. But like a lot of performers initially cast in youthful or youth-friendly roles, it took a little while for him to come into his own as a performer. As it turns out, Pine’s confidence and screen presence are better-served by grown-up parts. Lamenting the lack of American male movie stars with appropriate gravitas has become nearly as much of a cliché as comparing those stars to their old-timey counterparts. But in his best roles, Pine has both a weight and a lightness that recalls the no-fuss versatility of an old-time matinee idol, and he often does particularly well with old-fashioned, even square material. Of course, like a lot of stars, he’s often at the mercy of the material given him. Here, then, are all of Pine’s movies, ranked from absolute worst to sparkling best.
