Top 5 Power Chris’s

(Still catching up on back episodes of Filmspotting – from last year, not when they did it in 2018. Post theme: Lady in Red by Chris de Burgh).

5. Chris Pratt – I do like the Guardians movies (less so the second one), but I’m not a big fan of the Jurassic World trilogy. The LEGO Movie and Passengers were good, but nothing else stands out to me.

4. Chris O’Dowd – using the same “5th Chris” as Josh & Adam did. Good in the MCU, but the other things I’ve loved him in are TV, which seems a cheat here (The Big Door Prize, The I.T. Crowd). I did like Juliet, Naked.

3. Chris Hemsworth – really good as Thor (except the latest one). Mixed on Extraction, Men in Black, Huntsman. Disliked Ghostbusters. Wrong era in Home and Away for me to know him from that. A few blind spots here.

2. Chris Pine – the Star Treks were so-so. I liked the first Wonder Woman, but did not like the second. I’ve heard good things about the new D&D movie, but haven’t managed to see it yet. Spider-Verse is one of my favourite movies, but he’s not a big part of that. A lot of other films that are blind spots for me.

1. Chris Evans – easily the best MCU Chris (not just the character, but in the biggest group of the better films). Ghosted was fun, The Grey Man was ok, Lightyear was an odd movie, but I like him in it, hated Don’t Look Up, enjoyed the small cameo in Free Guy a lot, liked Knives Out, liked Gifted, Fantastic 4 was not great.
