The Flagship's rating:

Let me start of by saying that I don't have a problem with Samuel L. Jackson. He just appeared on my 'top watched actors' section and it slightly surprised me seeing just how productive he is. Then I got to thinking - just how many of his millions of films are actually any good?

I've compiled ratings for over forty of his recent films in which he has starred in something of a lead role (no voice-overs). The ratings are from Listal, IMDb and Metacritic websites. Let's see just how he fares:

Statistics:

Overall Rating: 5.9
Best Film: Pulp Fiction (8.8)
Worst Film: xXx 2: The Next Level (4.0)

By Era:
1990-1999 6.6
2000-2009 5.6

I'll leave it up to you what you want to make of these highly scientific and indisputable facts!

Sorry to see you also suffered through The Spirit. That's one of the few films I've walked out on & demanded my money back.

Oh wow, I am glad that I didn't go and see the spirit in cinemas, but a great list; I think Samuel even called himself a working actor in one interview, so I think he just takes the films he gets.

I love Sammy L J but most of his movies are shitty.
