Scooby-Doomight have a "rotten" score, but there's no doubt about it that it's as faithful of a live-action adaption of the source material as it can possibly be. The main actors unapologetically play the characters over the top, the chemistry is great, and it has practical sets and costume designs that audiences just don't see in movies today. Ever since Gunn became more popular from his work in the MCU, the film has gotten something of a cult following. After all, given that he's so great a...

Gunn is a part of superhero movie royalty, as he made two of the most entertaining MCU movies, he saved the Suicide Squad franchise with the surprisingly entertaining sequel, and he's now the CEO of DC studios. However, long before any of that, he wrote a much smaller superhero movie, The Specials. The movie has an interesting premise, as it follows superheroes on their day off and focuses on their everyday lives. In a way, it was ahead of its time, as so many movies and series are more satir...

Following The Specials, Superwas Gunn's second attempt at writing a superhero movie, only this time he directed it too. The movie follows Frank Darbo, an ordinary guy who dresses in red spandex and calls himself the Crimson Bolt. While that premise is a hotbed for Gunn's comedy, it's pitch-black dark too, and it's even emotionally exhausting in parts. Most critics struggled to get on board with such a dark comedy, as it's almost as if Kick-Ass had no limits and was made on a shoestring budget...

Whether it's as child-friendly as The Hunger Games or as bloody and violent as Squid Game, battle royale movies and series have been getting increasingly popular over the past decade. But one that went completely under the radar was the workplace-based The Belko Experiment. Gunn wrote the battle royale movie, which is about a company that forces its employees to fight to the death until just one is left standing. It's nothing audiences haven't seen before, and there's nothing for viewers to g...

Even when it comes to movies that Gunn wrote but didn't direct, his unique brand of storytelling and dialogue are clear, and they're distinctively Gunn-written movies. But the fact that he wrote the 2004 horror remake Dawn of the Deadis less obvious. The film doesn't have any humor, and it lacks any kind of edgy approach from a writing standpoint. The film is more clearly a Zack Snyder-directed picture, as the 2004 release established his style-over-substance approach, and the use of CGI and...

For the hardcore fans of Gunn, it wouldn't have come as a surprise that he was hired to write Dawn of the Dead, as he's much of a horror writer as he is a writer of irreverent comedy. The first example of that is the 1999 film Terror Firmer. Troma is a production company that makes low-budget, splatter-filled gorefests, and Terror Firmer is one of Troma's best releases. The movie follows a film crew working for an egotistical director, who soon run into problems when their shoots become disru...

While it isn't considered as great as its predecessor, Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 does a lot of things better than the first movie. For starters, Ego (Kurt Russell) is a much more interesting villain than Ronan (not to mention that Russell provides a great performance as a villain, which he doesn't do often). It has one of the greatest cameos in the MCU, as Ego takes the form of David Hasselhoff for a split-second, and Volume 2 has one of the saddest endings(which is a bold move for an MC...

Slither is another one of Gunn's attempts to mix horror and comedy, and this time it worked wonders, and the 2006 movie deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as horror comedies like The Evil Dead. The movie is about a small town that gets invaded by alien parasites, and it pays homage to '80s movies like The Blob and Brain Damage. However, despite being a success with critics, the movie, unfortunately, bombed at the box office, making just over $12 million worldwide (via Box Office Mojo...

After perfecting the rhythm of colorful superhero comedy movies on a spectacular, big-budget level, Gunn wanted to repeat that success, only in a more R-rated fashion. What was most impressive about The Suicide Squadis that it didn't ignore its critically scathed predecessor, was unapologetically a sequel (even if it wasn't marketed that way), and it improved on the original in every way.

It took Gunn close to two decades before he finally got a huge break, as it wasn't until 2014 after he had written and directed several low-budget movies for niche audiences that he was given a golden ticket. It's almost as if the filmmaker was born to write and direct Guardians of the Galaxy, as everything about plays to his strengths, whether it's the group of outcasts, the high concept, the superheroes, or the comedy. (Warning: This video contains flashing lights) There was no better filmm...
