Michael B. Jordan has wowed critics and audiences with his talent, charisma, and geniality ever since he first appeared on the big screen at the age of 12, in the film Black and White. More than twenty years later, he’s as clever and affable as ever - except now he also has quite a few blockbuster film roles under his belt.

We’re going to be ranking both his career’s biggest hits and its biggest misses, at least according to review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.

Best: Creed II (2018) - 84%

Many big-budget sequels, especially nowadays, seem unnecessary, while some even detract from the value of the original. Thankfully, Creed II is not one of those films. Starring Jordan as the versatile fighter Adonis Creed, this sports drama sequel showed audiences that the Rocky franchise can once again grow without becoming a nuisance - at least for now.

Critics, for the most part, found no issue with the film’s characters, performances, or direction - although some zeroed in on its formulaic, sometimes predictable nature as a negative element.

Worst: Fahrenheit 451 (2018) - 32%

Michael B.’s performance in the 2018 HBO film Fahrenheit 451, as a dystopian-era “fireman” responsible for burning banned books, was praised. Overall, however, the dystopian thriller failed to satisfy those surveyed by Rotten Tomatoes. The rare positive review would usually praise the film’s performances and story, stating that it did an adequate job of adapting its source material for a new generation.

Meanwhile, negative reviews focused on the film’s inability to equal its predecessors - across various mediums - and its attempts at cultural significance, which critics said would lead to it coming off as dated.

Best: Chronicle (2012) - 85%

The found footage genre, while currently rather stagnant, has led to some cinematic treats; the 2012 superhero film Chronicle is one of them. Instead of aiming for the horror-based tone the genre exemplifies, the film chronicles the adventures of three teens - played by Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell, and Jordan - who each receive bizarre superpowers after coming in contact with a mysterious, gemlike object underground.

The film became a resounding success, both with critics and at the box office - it made $126 million on a budget of just $12 million, and received widespread praise for its performances, acting, script, and direction.

Worst: Kin (2018) - 32%

Michael B. Jordan was the executive producer for Kin, a sci-fi drama; he also had a brief cameo towards the film’s climax. The story details the adventures of Eli and Jimmy, a sibling duo possessing a valuable superweapon decades ahead of its time. They’re chased by an elite squadron of futuristic soldiers (who are after the weapon), plus a crime lord who Jimmy owes money to.

Many critics were less than amicable in regards to the film’s story and direction; trying a more good-natured approach, Rotten Tomatoes suggested the production would have worked better as a TV pilot.

Best: Fruitvale Station (2013) - 94%

2013’s Fruitvale Station sees Michael B. take on an extremely challenging role while successfully avoiding the various mistakes less versatile actors could easily make. The film tells the true story of Oscar Grant (Jordan), a young African-American man shot and killed by a police officer on New Year’s Day 2009. Masterfully handling its sensitive subject, it acts to educate its audience without overly blurring the facts or taking a confrontational tone - much like Jordan’s recent effort Just Mercy.

It’s passionate, though subtle storytelling method isn’t the only factor that hooked critics on this biographic drama, with several noting the performances, direction, and tone as pluses.

Worst: That Awkward Moment (2014) - 23%

The 2014 romantic comedy That Awkward Moment stars Zac Efron, Miles Teller, and Michael B. Jordan as a trio of friends who pledge to devote their lives to putting entertainment first, leaving them with unlimited freedom and no commitments to others. However, one by one, they each find themselves in serious relationships.

Critics couldn’t find the “com” in this fairly insignificant rom-com; while many argued there was obvious talent put into the film’s production, others said its premise was too mimetic to be impactful.

Best: Creed (2016) - 95%

In the years since Carl Weathers and Sylvester Stallone first squared off, all the way back in 1976, the Rocky franchise seemed to be getting worse with every film. By the time Rocky V came out in 1990, many critics were saying it was time for the series to end.

After 2006’s Rocky Balboa became an unexpected success, however, Michael B. Jordan stepped into the ring, starring in Creed - which follows the training regime and boxing career of Apollo Creed’s son Adonis. Critics have praised the film’s acting, characters, direction, and story. A common praise was that it fit within the saga without being overly derivative of its predecessors.

Worst: Hotel Noir (2012) - 13%

Michael B. has a brief appearance in the 2012 neo-noir thriller Hotel Noir, which takes place in 1958. The film ties together the stories of those occupying a seemingly nonchalant hotel during a single night of secrets being revealed and blood being shed.

While its casting did receive some praise, most critics had trouble swallowing some of the film’s more bizarre plot elements; meanwhile, many were weary of what they perceived as low production quality present throughout.

Best: Black Panther (2018) - 97%

The MCU mega-hit Black Panther features one of Jordan’s greatest performances, as the supervillain Killmonger; the titular character’s cousin and rival for the Wakandan throne. Becoming the first superhero film ever to be nominated for the Best Picture Oscar isn’t a feat that should be ignored, and that achievement is just one of the many things serving to distinguish Black Panther from Marvel’s more trite cinematic fares.

Critics praised it as witty, poignant, and relevant, while not taking itself too seriously; many named it one of the best films of 2018.

Worst: Fantastic Four (2015) - 9%

While Michael B. Jordan starred in one of the all-time greatest superhero movies, he also starred in one of the all-time worst. 2015’s Fantastic Four was seen by critics as a terrible film based on a hit-and-miss property; the majority were unhappy with its tone, humor, and characters, and with a critical consensus score of just 9%, it’s the lowest-rated Marvel movie on Rotten Tomatoes.

In terms of awards, the film snagged five nominations and three wins at the Razzies, which honor the worst in cinema.
