In Rotten Tomatoes’ guide updated May 17, 2023, Avengers: Endgame ranks first among Bradley Cooper movies, with a 94% Tomatometer score. The list is a dated snapshot of critics’ reviews—not a permanent or universal verdict—and its order is not always strictly descending by the displayed percentages.
How this Bradley Cooper movie ranking works
The ranking below follows Jeff Giles’ Rotten Tomatoes guide, updated May 17, 2023. Rotten Tomatoes orders its entries by Tomatometer, a critic-review measure. Scores can change as reviews or page data change, so treat the figures here as the scores shown in that dated guide.
This is not a ranking of Cooper’s performances alone. It includes films in which he has different kinds of roles, including voice work, and the score reflects critics’ reviews of each film. Rotten Tomatoes audience scores and Metacritic Metascores are separate measures; they should not be combined with Tomatometer percentages as if they shared a scale.
The highest-ranked Bradley Cooper movies
Here is the opening six in the guide’s displayed order. Keep that order even though American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook each show 92% after the first-place film’s 94% and second-place film’s 91%: this reproduces the source’s ranking rather than re-sorting it by percentage.

|---|---|---|---|---|

What to watch first
For a lead performance, start with Silver Linings Playbook; for Cooper’s work behind the camera as well as in front of it, choose A Star Is Born. If you want superhero adventure, the guide’s top two are Avengers: Endgame and Guardians of the Galaxy, where Cooper voices Rocket. Those choices represent different kinds of participation, so the film score alone will not tell you which best fits your viewing mood.
Rotten Tomatoes’ Critics Consensus for A Star Is Born calls it “a remake done right — and a reminder that some stories can be just as effective in the retelling.” The consensus is the site’s summary of critics’ response, not a quotation from one named reviewer.

How Cooper’s roles changed across his filmography
Rotten Tomatoes’ filmography traces a path from early supporting and ensemble parts toward leading roles and a broader filmmaking presence. Wedding Crashers (2005), The Hangover (2009), and The A-Team (2010) are among the credits associated with his ascent; Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle followed in 2012 and 2013.

His later work ranges from the voice of Rocket in the Guardians of the Galaxy films to acting credits in American Sniper, Licorice Pizza, and Nightmare Alley. Cooper also took on more responsibility behind the camera: Rotten Tomatoes credits him as director of A Star Is Born, and lists him as Leonard Bernstein, director, and screenwriter for Maestro (2023). Its 2025 entry for Is This Thing On? lists him as actor, director, screenwriter, and producer.

Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer and audience score answer different questions: the former measures critics’ reviews, while the latter represents audience ratings. Metacritic uses its own Metascore system. Its Bradley Cooper page is a useful cross-check on credits and roles, including Rocket and Cooper’s filmmaking work, but its scores are not interchangeable with Rotten Tomatoes percentages. Always name the metric and the date when comparing a ranking.
