Ewan McGregor's 8 Lowest-Scoring Movies

Ewan's floor is higher than most careers' ceilings. His bottom 8 still includes a Jedi, a cassock and a clone. Here's the countdown.

Number one made nearly half a billion dollars and still sits dead last.

1. 8
   Big Fish (2003)7.2

   His 'worst' list opens with a 7.2. Rough life.

   Tim Burton's tall tale has an IMDb 7.9 from 481,301 voters. Metacritic's 58 is the only grump at the party, and it's grumping at the sugar.
2. 7
   Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005)7.2

   Best prequel by a mile. The dialogue never got the memo.

   $905.6M worldwide, an A− CinemaScore, and critics and audiences both beat 69% of movies. Nobody argues about the score. Everybody argues about the lines.
3. 6
   Doctor Sleep (2019)7.0

   Smart Shining sequel that ticket buyers left on the porch.

   Mike Flanagan's 7.0 pulled just $31.6M domestic on a reported $45 to 55M budget. Metacritic's 59 says it plays a little too careful with its famous dad.
4. 5
   The End of Oak Street (2026)5.7

   Critics loved it, audiences shrugged. Average is the honest middle.

   86% on Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences beat just 41% of movies. $121.6M worldwide against a reported $80 to 92M budget is not party math.
5. 4
   Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002)5.1

   Worse than Phantom Menace. Yes, worse. Fight me.

   The Guru's Take is 4.3, below Episode I's 4.9. A romance this stiff should come with a sand warning. Still banked $653.8M worldwide.
6. 3
   Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999)5.0

   Billion-dollar movie where Ewan plays second fiddle to Liam Neeson.

   $1.05B worldwide, a 5.0 score, 54% on Rotten Tomatoes. Ewan's billed behind Neeson and is still the most watchable thing near a trade dispute.
7. 2
   The Island (2005)4.5

   Michael Bay's clone chase is way more fun than 4.5.

   Critics beat only 28% of movies, but IMDb gives it 6.8 and the Guru's Take is 5.3. $35.8M domestic on a reported $126M budget hurt more than the explosions.
8. 1
   Angels & Demons (2009)4.3

   His lowest score, and honestly, a perfectly good airport thriller.

   4.3 is his floor, yet it made $485.9M worldwide with a B+ CinemaScore. Ewan in a cassock next to Tom Hanks deserves better than 36% on Rotten Tomatoes.

$611.83 says someone defends Attack of the Clones in the comments before anyone mentions Big Fish.
