The Worst Angelina Jolie Movie of All Time, According to Critics

Some of this movie star's most well known films actually earned terrible reviews.

When you've had a film career as eclectic as Angelina Jolie has, there are bound to be some critical misses on your résumé. She's one of the biggest movie stars in the world, but that doesn't mean she's always gotten favorable reviews. In fact, a look at the list of what critics have deemed the worst Angelina Jolie movies ever reveals that some of the actor's most popular and beloved films weren't all that well reviewed.

We consulted Rotten Tomatoes' ranking of every Angelina Jolie movie, then honed in on the "rotten" ones that earned less than 60 percent. It's important to note that the ranking uses an algorithm that incorporates the number of reviews and critics surveyed, so some movies with slightly higher scores may be ranked below movies with lower scores. Regardless, you'll be shocked to see how many bonafide Jolie classics got panned by the press.
