Every Channing Tatum Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

Here is a detailed look at Channing Tatum's movies, ranked from worst to best. Tatum has become a reliable box office draw thanks to his striking looks, dancing prowess, and comedic talent. Tatum's acting career has almost exclusively been on the big screen and his fame and notoriety soared in the 2010s when he began to take on leading comedy roles. Tatum's latest movie, The Lost City, is a box office success and has once again proven his ability to get laughs and surpass expectations.

Channing Matthew Tatum was born on April 26th, 1980 in Cullman, Alabama. Before entering the entertainment industry, Tatum worked odd jobs, including as a roofer and then as a stripper at a Tampa nightclub, which years later inspired Magic Mike. In 2000, Tatum had a small role in the music video for Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" and then went on to model for the likes of Armani, and appear in TV commercials for Pepsi and Mountain Dew. It wasn't until 2005 that Tatum made his first movie appearance as a high school basketball player for the Richmond Oilers in Coach Carter.

Tatum is one of Hollywood's tried and tested stars, with a body of work that spans almost every genre, with the exception of live-action superhero movies. Tatum could play Gambit, a member of the X-Men who he is keen to play, but plans for a movie were canceled by Disney following their acquisition of 21st Century Fox. While Gambit may still be in his future, here is a look at every movie that Tatum has appeared in so far, ranked from worst to best.

43. Supercross: The Movie (2005)

Supercross: The Movie is a sports film directed by Steve Boyum. Two brothers follow different paths in their supercross careers, as K.C. Carlyle (played by Steve Howey) sells out to join a rich team to race alongside Tatum's Rowdy Sparks, while Trip Carlyle (played by Mike Vogel) is left behind. Supercross: The Movie has some good stunts but it is a predictable sports story that isn't accessible for those who don't know much about bike racing.

42. The Dilemma (2011)

The Dilemma is a comedy directed by the usually successful Ron Howard. It stars Vince Vaughn and Kevin James as two businessmen, Ronny and Nick, who try to run a successful business while maintaining their relationships. Tatum plays Zip, the handsome heartthrob who kisses Ronny's wife. While Tatum is fine in his supporting role, the movie falls short in balancing slapstick humor with dramatic elements.

41. The Son Of No One (2011)

The Son Of No One is a crime thriller directed by Dito Montiel that boasts a strong cast, including Al Pacino and Ray Liotta. Tatum plays the lead character, Jonathan White, a rookie police officer whose career is on the line when an anonymous caller threatens to expose his dark past. Tatum is a frequent collaborator with Montiel, but the contrived storyline of The Son Of No One makes it one of his most forgettable movies.

40. Jupiter Ascending (2015)

Jupiter Ascending is a space opera written and directed by The Wachowskis, known for their genre-defining Matrix franchise. Tatum stars a Caine Wise, a genetically engineered warrior who arrives on Earth to find Jupiter Jones (played by Mila Kunis), a cleaner who is entitled to an intergalactic inheritance. With an estimated budget of over $200 million, it is one of Tatum's most expensive movies, but also one of his biggest flops having made a loss of around $16 million. That said, plenty of people put Jupiter Ascending in the "so bad it's good" category that may yet become a cult classic.

39. America: The Motion Picture (2021)

America: The Motion Picture is an R-rated animated comedy directed by Matt Thompson. Set in 1776, it parodies the American revolution as George Washington (voiced by Tatum) leads his troops into battle with the British. America: The Motion Picture relies heavily on aggressive American patriotism, irony, and shocking moments but fails to recapture the magic of similar films like Team America: World Police.

38. Fighting (2009)

Fighting is a sports movie directed by Dito Montiel. Tatum stars as Shawn MacArthur, a down on his luck New Yorker who is a gifted fighter. He puts his talent to good use in underground bare-knuckle fighting contests, where he faces off with professional boxers and martial arts specialists. Fighting is a generic sports film, where Tatum's underdog predictably rises through the ranks, but Tatum's commitment to the role and natural charisma makes it an enjoyable watch.

37. G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)

G.I. Joe: Retaliation is an action movie directed by Jon M. Chu, inspired by the Hasbro toy line. Following on from the events of the first movie, Zartan frames the G.I. Joe team to make the world think they are terrorists, leading to the death of Tatum's G.I. Joe, Duke after a targeted airstrike. The high octane action of G.I. Joe: Retaliation is muddied by the convoluted storyline, which is harder to follow than it needs to be.

36. G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra (2009)

G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra is an action movie directed by Stephen Sommers. Tatum stars as the G.I. Joe's latest recruit, Duke, who joins the special operatives team to take down a criminal firearm dealing organization. Tatum has since revealed he hates the film and he was pushed into doing it to fulfill a contract he has signed with Paramount. Critics largely agree with him, with long-time fans of the franchise were particularly upset with how the movie handled G.I. Joe's history, a trend that continued with the major changes to Snake Eyes' origin in 2021's Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins.

35. 10 Years (2011)

10 Years is a romantic comedy directed by Jamie Linden. Tatums stars in a stacked ensemble cast featuring Oscar Isaac, Chris Pratt, Aubrey Plaza, Anthony Mackie, and Rosario Dawson, who play former high school friends who reunite a decade after graduating. 10 Years has all the characters you would expect from a reunion film, including the ones who can't move on from their teenage romances. The movie has moments that are easy to relate to but it is full of predictable clichés. Still, the clear talent on display makes it a charming watch, even if predictable.

34. The Eagle (2011)

The Eagle is a historical drama directed by Kevin Macdonald, based on Rosemary Sutcliff's novel The Eagle of the Ninth. Tatum plays Marcus Flavius Aquila, a Roman officer who is on a mission to reclaim the lost eagle ornament of his father's slain legion. The Eagle is hindered by slow pacing and less action than what might be expected from an epic historical movie, like Ridley Scott's Gladiator.
