Weakest MCU film?

[chamber-music]

They should of made Walton Goggin's Burch and his gang a AIM faction instead of just black market tech dealing middle men in Ant-Man and The Wasp.

 

[First Avenger]

Thor The Dark World is definately the most made-by-committee movie in the MCU. Marvel Studios clearly didn't like Taylor's work as the editing basically only left the scenes necessary to move the story forward as quickly as possible, the comedic bits which gave it a bit of life while making the movie's tone quite erratic, and the reshoot scenes at the beginning and the end of the movie. Everyone looks bored except Hiddleston and Hemsworth (when he's with Tom), in fact the movie's alive only when Loki is on screen. Taylor also does nothing interesting with the action which is serviceable at best. Still, the afore-mentioned Loki scenes are golden, the set/costumes are pretty good as Is the score, Hemsworth still nails Thor even if he looks quite bored with what he has to work with, so it's still an average, inoffensive if forgettable movie.

I still can't believe Darcy managed to return in the mcu after her horrible role in The Dark World.

 

[Elayis]

Thor: The Dark World, Captain Marvel & Ant-Man and the Wasp are easily the worst, but most of the MCU is just barely average as it is. Iron Man 1 & 3, Black Panther, Ragnorak and maybe Age of Ultron are the only real standouts to me. But then I've had MCU burnout since 2016 so I'm not exactly objective. Most of the films are pretty disposable.

WandaVision was starting to look like the worst for its first few episodes, but luckily it ditched the over reliance on sitcom parody and stuff finally started happening.

Only a third or so of the upcoming slate even peaks my interest.

Thor 2 was abysmal. Not on any of the actors part. But the tone of the film was just a snoozefest for some reason. Everyone I ask barely remembers the film.

I'd say after that is Ant Man 2. 1 was a visionary experience and I wish it got more attention. But 2 was just sloppy and dragged on far longer than I felt it was welcome.

Finally I'd leave on this list Iron Man 2. Theoretically you could've just gave that entire plot to War Machine and made his solo film instead. Staring RDJ as a supporting character of course.

And it was ridiculous to introduce him there if they weren't even gonna use him again until Age of Ultron/IM3. He was basically neglected post IM2. And it made even less sense that he wasn't on the Avengers team.

I'd say after that is Ant Man 2. 1 was a visionary experience and I wish it got more attention.

Maybe it's not fair to Peyton Reed, but I think the strengths of the first Ant-Man were probably Edgar Wright's ideas. Most of the memorable set pieces simply must have been planned if not completely pre-vis'd before Wright departed. His fingerprints are all over those, and I don't remember anything visually interesting about the second one.

 

[MasuraoX]

Thor 2 and IM2/3 were pretty weak IMO and I wasn't really a huge fan of the first Thor entry entry either if I'm being honest. I only found myself liking one entry from both of those trilogies. On the flip side, I'm in the minority that kinda liked Incredible Hulk with Norton but compared to some of the strongest MCU films it obviously falls quite short.

 

[Fincher]

Out of the ones I've seen (which are everything but the Thor movies, Hulk, and Far From Home), Infinity War, which I hated. Endgame and Homecoming also stand out as weak points for me, but Infinity War easily has them beat. I don't know if there's much point in me voting, though, since two of the specified choices are two I haven't watched.

Iron Man 2 is really good, so definitely not that.

 

[Kargo Warrior]

I did a complete MCU marathon, Iron Man to WandaVision, so everything is fresh.

Thor 1 & 2. They didn’t have the confidence to make a full blooded Thor film, and the Earth parts/characters are thoroughly awful. The CGI, especially in the first film, is terrible and Asgard looks like a PS2 game. Future space films like Guardians 1 & 2 and Ragnarok look like they’re shot with 100 years advanced technology.

Iron Man 2 & 3. Bad villains, very few action scenes, poor humor, especially in the third.

The Incredible Hulk. Nothing of a film. It’s just there, bad CGI, a one dimensional monster for the Hulk to fight, no chemistry between the leads...

Those 5 are films i would only watch when i do another marathon in the future but i would never watched them solo.

Three other films i have some issues with are the two Spider-Man’s because this version is just not for me. Spider-Man as an understudy of Iron Man who completely replaces Uncle Ben will always irk me. On top of that, both villains have a quarrel with Iron Man, not Spider-Man Parker is just in their way. Not bad films in any way, just not what i consider to be the best version of the character.

And finally, the terrible, terrible, terrible humor of Guardians 2. I love the story, i love the visuals but the jokes are making every rewatch a chore. Nipples, erections, turds, pissing, “it’s not ripe”, Transformers 2-level of humor. That film has more bad jokes than the entirety of the MCU put together.

xmen 1-2-3 is good but other xmen movies i didnt like it at all

 

[Kane52630]

As a movie by itself, it's Age of Ultron even though it's integral to the future of the MCU. Nothing about it felt like a complete movie.

Captain America: Civil War felt more like a true sequel to The Avengers.

 

[JeanGreyFan318]

Ant-Man & The Wasp. Corny humor. Weak villain. Lackluster storyline. Total snooze-fest.

 

[ScarletWitch]

ant-man its an okay movie

 

[OutOfBoose]

Weak MCU films for me - Thor 1-2, Hulk, Ant-Man 2, Captain Marvel. Which one is the weakest? I'll go with Captain Marvel. Earlier films deserve a bit more respect, because at that time MCU was establishing itself. CM is dull and with an unlikable protagonist. No desire to watch it ever again.

 

[Hannibal75]

I've consciously avoided "The Incredible Hulk", "Thor 2" and "Iron Man 3", so out of those I've watched the worst are "Iron Man 2", "Captain America", "Thor: Ragnarok" and "Spiderman: Far From Home".
I know there are a lot of fans of the latter two out there but I detested the juvenile humor (FFH at times felt like an American Pie sequel) and nonsensical plot points.

 

[Fincher]

I saw Thor and The Dark World, and they were both pretty bad, but neither of them compared to Infinity War for me. So I just went ahead and voted Other for Infinity War.

Absolutely hated this movie. I have no interest in the next one.

Agreed. Captain Marvel for me was torture. I couldn't wait for it to end. The only Marvel movie even close to that bad is Thor the Dark World, which was also trash.

Dishonorable mention for also being utter trash were Iron Man 1-2 and Antman and the Wasp.

 

[Schlosser85]

I'll say The Incredible Hulk, since it's the one I routinely forget even exists.

I continue to boggle at people who find that their favorite. I'd *much* rather rewatch either Thor 2 or Captain Marvel, at least they have *some* good parts. Incredible Hulk is just this empty nothingburger, where all the good actors are sleepwalking and the script seems to have been taped together from a couple old horror movies. Also, the SFX and character design are ugly, and can't hold a candle to the Ang Lee movie. *cough*

 

[Drizzle]

I'm seeing a lot of Ant-Man and the Wasp in here. I consider it on the lower end of the MCU as well but the more I think about how low stakes of a film it is, the more I realize that was done purposely. I can understand why people aren't crazy about it but I still find it to be entertaining. My biggest issue with it is that Michelle Pfeiffer isn't in it much at all. I do find it amusing that for a mostly low-stakes comedy, its sequel is setting up Kang the Conqueror of all people.

 

[metaphysician]

Me, I find it somewhat bemusing that people complain about Ant-Man and the Wasp, while also quite often complaining about how "every movie is about saving the world". Marvel does a movie where the stakes are personal, and suddenly its apparently a bad thing to not be about saving the world.

 

[DyeLorean]

I'm still surprised how well-reviewed Ant-Man and the Wasp was. If there was a film that could've easily broken the 'Fresh' status of the MCU, it would've been that one for me.

It boggles the mind that this film and Far From Home have higher critics ratings than Infinity War.
