The top ten movies on IMDb in 2021 include not just high ratings but also the number of votes each film has gotten.
The top ten movies of 2021 on IMDb will be susceptible to change for some time as public opinion shifts and films settle into collective public awareness.

Free Guy strikes all the right chords with both movie and gaming enthusiasts.

The Suicide Squad movie
• Available on HBO Max
Despite the fact that the DCEU’s initial effort at a Suicide Squad picture generated a lot of money at the box office,
reviewers criticized it, and a great majority of fans considered it unsatisfying, owing, in part, to its rigorous editing process.
This semi-sequel/quasi-reboot kept parts of the original cast while taking a more direct humorous approach in the style of James Gunn, the film’s writer and director.
The Suicide Squad earned significantly better reviews from reviewers and fans,
although it did not have the same box office success as its predecessor.
Despite this, the sequel was one of the biggest blockbusters of Warner Bros.
‘ same-day HBO Max release plan in 2021 and its spin-off series,
Peacemaker appears to be one of the most talked-about comic book shows in 2022.
Don’t Look Up – 7.3 (276K Votes)
Don’t Look Up movie
• Available on Netflix
In this star-studded social satire, two scientists uncover a comet that is speeding towards Earth and threatens to wipe out all life.
As they fail to get any government action to take form,
the main foes prove to be political debate and media propaganda.
Despite strong performances from stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence,
as well as supporting cast members Meryl Streep and Jonah Hill,
reviews were critical of the film, partly because of its overt message regarding science denial.
The general public, on the other hand, has been far more enthusiastic, with IMDb users voting it one of the top ten films of 2021.
Nobody – 7.4 (182K Votes)
Nobody movie
• Available to purchase on Prime Video
Nobody is a celebrity. In this action-comedy directed by Ilya Naishuller and written by John Wick creator Derek Kolstad,
Bob Odenkirk plays a former assassin turned quiet family guy who comes out of retirement to take on the Russian mafia.
This bare-knuckle thriller is the most grounded of the action flicks to rank in IMDb’s top 10 movies of 2021,
albeit it’s packed with its own absurd scenes.
Cruella – 7.4 (202K Votes)
Cruella movie
• Available on Disney+
Taking a cue from DC’s Joker’s great popularity,
this relatively dark prequel film tells the sympathetic origin story of one of Disney’s most recognizable villains while still maintaining the usual comical vibes that fans of the studio are familiar with.
Emma Stone plays the eponymous master criminal and fashion icon,
dishing out some stunning outfits and having a lot of fun with the devilishly hilarious character throughout the film.
Cruella gave us a completely fleshed-out new plot while also laying the stage for a fresh take on the classic 101 Dalmations adventure.
No Time To Die – 7.4 (272K Votes)
No Time To Die movie
• Available to purchase on Prime Video
No Time to Die saw Daniel Craig end his run as the infamous superspy James Bond on a high note with an unusually emotional take on the typically cold character, while still paying heavy homage to the long legacy of the 007 franchise,
despite numerous delays to its release, which was originally scheduled for 2020.
The result was a crowd-pleasing combination of new and old concepts that provided plenty of opportunity for massive narrative twists and an explosive ending that included a series first.
Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings – 7.5 (279K Votes)
Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings movie
• Available on Disney+
Marvel Studios’ inexorable expansion continued in 2021,
with the hugely successful studio delivering four films in addition to four streaming shows.
The studio introduced its first Asian hero to cinema viewers in the second MCU film of 2021,
and it proved to be another smash for the overarching series of comic book blockbusters.
Though neither the title hero nor the lead actor, Simu Liu,
were household names before the premiere of the film, they now appear to be long-term stars for the expanding world.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League – 8.1 (353K Votes)
Zack Snyder’s Justice League movie
• Available on HBO Max
Fans began to demand the original version of Justice League when Warner Bros.
published a chopped-up version in 2017, along with various rewrites and reshot scenes by director Joss Whedon.
Snyder eventually got his chance to fulfill his vision after a two-and-a-half-year movement.
In comparison to Joss Whedon’s version, Zack Snyder’s Justice League isn’t simply a director’s cut; it’s a whole different film.
The film is twice as lengthy, has a lot more character development,
and shows a lot more respect for the characters.
It also brings back three black characters: Iris West, Elinore Stone, and Ryan Choi, who were eliminated from the theatrical version.
The substantially increased role for Ray Fisher as Cyborg, whom Zack Snyder referred to as “the heart” of his picture,
is perhaps the most notable shift in the film.
Dune – 8.2 (427K Votes)
Dune movie
• Available to purchase on Prime Video
Though there are higher-rated movies from 2021 on IMDb, none have as many votes, making Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of the renowned science-fiction novel Dune all the more spectacular and significant when compared to the top 10 movies from 2021 on the site.
Despite being broadcast on HBO Max on the same day as its theatrical release, the epic picture fared well at the box office, proving to be a must-see big-screen event because of its stunning panoramas, soul-stirring music, and sound design, and a sequel was quickly greenlit.

Marvel Studios’ last film of 2021 was not just the studio’s largest,
but also the year’s biggest, shattering box office records almost immediately and becoming one of the most financially successful cinematic releases of all time. Spider-Man: No Way Home has demonstrated that there is still life in cinemas.
With a buffet of fan-favorite characters and dramatic surprises,
it swiftly soared to become one of the year’s most highly ranked movies on IMDb, with a massive number of votes.
