20 Most Critically Adored Comic Book Movies

13. Guardians Of The Galaxy

Heath Ledger Joker
Marvel Studios

Rating: 91%

Marvel’s surprise hit of the summer needs to be recognised; turning an obscure comic featuring a talking tree and a sarcastic rodent is no easy task, yet James Gunn’s Sci-Fi flick has gotten everybody excited about the new dynamic within the MCU.

With characters like Groot and Rocket Raccoon the film couldn't be taken too seriously, and the writers clearly acknowledged this early on in development. This is the movie that has shown Marvel has the Midas touch - who else could have made this movie such a commercial success?
