Worst MCU movie?

[Erzengel]

Neither are part of the MCU.

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

The Dark World and Iron Man 2 are Marvel's worst.

If I find any MCU movie boring, for me it would honestly be Guardians. It was entertaining but, something about that movie just didn't resonate with me. I haven't watched it since theaters, for that reason, I do plan to pick it up on BR eventually but haven't yet so maybe next time I see it I'll be enlightened. Not to say I didn't enjoy it, but saw it twice and it was a perfectly serviceable film, but it didn't excite me like Winter Soldier, Iron Man 3, Age of Ultron or even Ant-Man. The majority of Phase 2 was full of high points, even in the "lower-tier" films. I have high expectations for Phase 3.

You're not alone. I thought GOTG was Marvel's most immature, sloppy movie.

 

[JtheDreamer]

My understanding is the final battle was supposed to center around Banner using Stark's armor to sneak up close to Ultron, and then Hulk out right next to him for a sneak attack. Which doesn't make much sense; what can Hulk do with a sneak-attack that he couldn't do by just jumping in? But some exec kept insisting on this scene happening with an almost Wild-West-Giant-Spider-Level obsessiveness. Whedon finally won the argument to drop this idea, but it left him short on time and money, forcing him to cut a sloppy version of the final battle.

The ending battle most definitely left a lot to be desired. It lost me with the "Thor you're bothering me" crap. The money shot with the rotating camera didn't really do much for me either. Also, how many times did we need to see Ultron get punted?

 

[LucDisfilm19]

Iron Man 2. Felt unfocused and tiring.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Thor TDW. It's one of them and it's bad

Agreed, that's where the movie loses me. There are flawed parts earlier but mostly the movie works up until the final battle. The battle itself is poor and worse, boring, though.

 

[Zarex]

I'd have to go with Iron Man 2. It's watchable, as are all MCU films. But Vanko is an enormous let down after Tony's surrogate big brother Stane turned on him in the first film. And how can you not use the all-time great villain name Crimson Dynamo?

 

[Erzengel]

The ending was a little anti-climatic. That's what bothered me the most.

 

[Doctor Octopus]

Agreed. Short little fight with Whiplash.

 

[Steamteck]

Iron Man 3. I literally cannot think of that film without getting angry. I hated it so much that when TDW came around , Thor seemed so incredibly good by comparison, some of my lost faith in Marvel returned.

I like Shane Black's action stuff but I will NEVER see any superhero related he does again.

 

[Vortigern99]

I like them all to varying degrees, but I think I had the least amount of fun with Ant Man. It was good, mind you, but I didn't find it as funny as it seemed to think it was, and there were some confusing plot points IMO. Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk are also fairly weak, but still enjoyable.

 

[schereZada]

So much to choose from. But many of those movies aren't bad at all. Iron Man, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers and Ant Man were all good. Captain America: The Winter Soldier was very good. The Incredible Hulk and Age of Ultron were still decent.

Now, Iron Man 2 was incredibly insipid, the Thor movies have always been bad to me because the love interest is just a shoehorned mess; I love everything Asgard though.

The only Marvel movies I don't think I'll ever see again are Iron Man 3 and Guardians Of The Galaxy. But Iron Man 3 at least has RDJ who's one of the few actors that can deal properly with bad comedy, so GOTG wins.

 

[Abudefduf]

It's Iron Man 2 and by a long shot. What an unevenful, almost pointless entry to the MCU. It would be nothing without Downey Jr. charisma.

And I actually like Thor 2, more than the first one actually. I'd never call it a good movie but, eh, it's entertaining, and there's some cool stuff in it.

 

[Doctor Octopus]

Iron Man 2 just mainly Avengers set up. Chance to introduce Black widow.

 

[Abudefduf]

Yeah, and even her was pretty boring in the movie. But she looked hot, I'll give them that.

 

[Victarion]

Vanko had so much untapped potential.

 

[ripse]

Thor The Dark World

 

[StarLord]

I'd go with The Incredible Hulk. Even when it came out I didn't like it all that much.

To be honest though, I haven't watched it in a long time. Maybe it deserves another go.

 

[BarryAllen]

Thor TDW. Iron Man 2 was messy, but it's still a fun movie that is rewatchable. Thor TDW was just boring.

 

[Jim-H]

For me it's between Thor 2 & AoU.

IM3 also sucked.

 

[Vchipp]

I don't care much for TDW

 

[Cyrogenic]

Guardians Of The Galaxy.

 

[RoryTate]

This is a choice between TDW, GOTG, and Ant-Man for me. While the IM sequels weren't great, they weren't bad (except for the villain in IM2...that was really bad). Perhaps because I really like Thor, a lot of the stuff that worked in TDW really made the movie enjoyable, but I recognize it for the poor movie it was, with poor pacing and editing, and the final battle was anti-climactic, and then having Loki back on the throne pissed me off. GOTG had some terrible characters, a romance without any chemistry, and it cemented Thanos as all bark and no bite, which is a terrible lead in to the Infinity Gauntlet storyline. Still, it had memorable scenes, and the final battle was something I liked.

I had to choose Ant-Man, because really, there is nothing that happened in the movie that I remember, except for a number of things I didn't like. Now it wasn't a poorly paced movie, but it just seemed like movie-by-the-numbers, and was completely bland for me. The excitement I was supposed to feel at establishing future movies and characters was not there (oh. yay. the...Wasp?), and the story itself didn't make me invested in the characters. It was simply yet another "father reconnects with his estranged family and redeems himself by becoming a work automaton for them" Hollywood plot. Really insulting to men. It tried to have some kind of distinct identity beyond that at least, but the whole voice-over thing just felt gimmicky to me. Worst movie by being completely average and derivative, and not getting me interested in watching anything further within that character's universe. Which in the end isn't too bad for the MCU, if this kind of mediocrity is the worst they've done so far.

 

[DX]

Iron Man 2. But even then, I'd still class it as "decent" and miles better than a lot of the non-MCU Marvel films. (X-Men Origins, Fant4stic, TASM2 etc.)
