The result was both a rousing Marvel space adventure and an emotionally affecting crowd pleaser.

7. BABY DRIVER

5. JUSTICE LEAGUE

It's an understatement to say Warner Bros. and DC Films's superhero team up Justice League isn't quite the blockbuster they hoped. Directed by Zack Snyder, though Joss Whedon helmed reshoots, performed rewrites, and oversaw the post production that changed Snyder's original vision, Justice League nonetheless underperformed at the box office and left many fans and critics unimpressed.

However, Justice League has garnered praise from fans for its greater emphasis on humor, with Ezra Miller's The Flash providing endearing comedic moments, and for the return of Henry Cavill's Superman (despite his digitally erased mustache). Justice League's failure to be DC Films' version of The Avengers has already sparked a reorganization at Warner Bros. Fans will likely be sorting out what went wrong with Justice League for years to come.

3. WONDER WOMAN

Wonder Woman's list of accolades are as lengthy as her golden Lasso of Truth: the highest grossing film of summer 2017, the highest grossing film ever by a female director (Patty Jenkins), the highest grossing superhero origin film, and the most popular film of the DC Extended Universe are just for starters.

Wonder Woman's phenomenal success can be attributed to Jenkins telling an abashedly heroic superhero origin story, anchored by a charismatic performance by Gal Gadot as Princess Diana of Themyscira and her winning chemistry with Chris Pine. Audiences were won over and inspired by Wonder Woman. Her solo movie debut was more than worth the wait.

2. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

1. IT

2017 was truly the year of IT. Fueled in part by audience nostalgia for the 1990 TV movie and leading the pack in what would become the biggest year for horror movies ever, the film based on Stephen King's novel about a killer clown named Pennywise terrorizing children in the town of Derry, Maine was a massive success by every measure. Even King himself was unprepared for how good IT was.

By the time IT was done thrilling and scaring audiences, it claimed the titles of highest-grossing Stephen King movie and highest-grossing R-rated horror movie of all time. Thankfully, the young cast of IT won't be left out of the upcoming Chapter 2, which will feature the Loser's Club as present day adults. But in a year of huge and surprising movie successes, nothing simultaneously scared and excited fans quite like IT.
