Haven't seen any since Endgame so my vote goes to Thor 2. It was so terribly boring.

I don't understand the hate for AoU, maybe because the first was really good and since AoU didn't quite measure up people act like it was awful?
Rip Sig 20??-20??
Iron Man 3 was the only one I found so bad it was down right insulting. The others were meh at worst.

"Boring" is a pretty good reason to hate an action movie
sure but there's plenty of boring MCU movies. The first Thor movie was pretty boring, not to mention Captain Marvel.

I AoU is basically the boring Avengers movie, at least that seems to be the perception. For me, It's not bad, but Ultron and the twin were so disappointing.

I find it insane that the first Thor movie, Thor (2011), isnt ever considered in any of these polls or discussions. It is by FAR the worst movie in the entire MCU and is always the one I dont fully see or just skip entirely when I do a full rewatch of the MCU.

Its much MUCH worse than The Dark World imo. The Dark World at least has the correct portrayal of Loki, who has that snark/confidence in his personality that he doesnt have in the first Thor movie (where he is very stoic and boring). His scenes in the Dark World are entertaining enough to carry the movie.

Thor (2011) has such a different and boring Loki character portrayal compared to how he acts in Avengers (2012) and beyond.

But thats not even the worst part of the movie. Any scene involving Natalie Portman and her stupid sidekick Darcy are the most painful scenes to watch. Its only in this movie too, Darcy and Jane are much more bearable to experience (although still not great) in future movies/shows like Dark World/WandaVision/Love and Thunder etc.

I dont know how you all can stand seeing Natalie Portman say stuff like Oh My God!!! Do me a favor and dont be dead! etc. Or when Thor says alright whos next?? in the first fight on the frost giant planet in Thor (2011). Its so fucking cringe that its painful to watch.

Whenever people make fun of the MCU for having stupid generic humor and quips like hes right behind me isnt he or in that same tone of those jokes, I immediately think of Thor (2011). Its one of the worst comic book movies ever made.
Agreed, plus the fact that 80% of the movie uses dutch angles ugh Thor's eyebrows are also very distracting

I kinda couldnt stand the Marvels. The whole thing seemed made for 8 year olds and randomly had them wear Disney Princess gowns and have a random dance number.
You literally had them jump roping, playing paddy cake and playing kindergarten games cheering, Many scenes of kittens being funny. It felt made for a SpongeBob audience
I feel like the main problem with their newer movies is they dumbed the humor and stories down a bit for younger audiences while their biggest fans arent kids, its people in their 20s and up.
Theyve been putting so much bad humor in stuff it completely takes away any of the threat or sense of dread

Nah it's boring as fuck. It's like a little bit of action at the beginning. Then complete snoozefest until Thor reclaims the hammer, then everything afterwards is stupid. Like there's a part where Thor puts the hammer on Loki so he can't get up takes it back like 5 seconds later like what was even the point of that?

Thor 2 had good action and good drama. It had a non-character for an antagonist but MCU's antagonists are generally bad anyway.

Haven't seen Brave New World or the Marvels, but out of the rest, I'd probably say Quantumania. Super disappointing since Ant Man and the Wasp is one of my favorite Marvel movies.

The Mandarin twist didn't ruin the movie. It was already bad. The Mandarin twist just made it suck even more.

I havent seen most of the movies on this list. I liked all the Thor movies, and Iron Man 2. I was surprised to see Thor 2 get so hated over the years.

Captain Marvel is the worst MCU movie Ive seen.
Of those, Love and Thunder and Quantamania are the only two that I'd say are humiliatingly bad and I wanted a refund on. They were actual dogshit.
Dark World probably after them. Haven't seen Brave New World yet, though.

The Marvels, Age of Ultron, Iron Man 2, and Dr Strange MoM are all solid B-movies.

Eternals is actually really good, and I'll never understand the complaints about it.

Never saw Hulk, though, actually.

ppl generally really hate it. Personally, i don't get the hate. There are definitely criticisms, but i don't see anything in it as bad as Love and Thunder or Ironman 3.

I think they're talking about it's revealed that the Mandarin is just an actor paid to play the character of a evil terrorist leader. The real bad guy was the friends we made along the way.
Didn't Ant-Man have the notoriously bad IMAX Enhanced where they jumped around between cameras, giving me a freaking migraine? If so, that one.

There are two huge things that don't make sense about Iron Man 3's plot

Why wasn't Captain America involved in a movie about somebody trying to kill the President of the United States, that's pretty much his turf

Why didn't the other Avengers try to do anything to avenge Tony's "death", especially Bruce, who was living in Stark Tower at that point

You could ask this kind of question about a lot of the movies after Avengers 1. It's one reason this kind of crossover isn't really my thing.

It's a bit of a toss up between Marvels, Eternals, and Thor Dark World. There are other movies I didn't like, but these three fall into the awful category for me. I voted Marvels.
Can you say David Hasselhoff?
Iron Man 2 > Age of Ultron > Hulk > Thor Dark World for me.

Havent seen the others. Did not dislike Dark World but i remember almost nothing about it.

Im actually flabbergasted Love and Thunder has so many votes. It was good. Age of Ultron also has no business near this list.
Insert sig here
Thor: TDW. I only liked Loki's scenes. Everything else was so forgettable.

Iron Man 3 was also forgettable and I will probably only ever watch it again when I marathon the MCU.
I haven't set a signature for the message boards yet
Love and Thunder from that list (though I havent seen the new Cap film yet). However, the one that I actually think is the worst is No Way Home, which Im sure loads of you guys probably think is madness.

In a franchise where so many of the films feel cookie cutter, to me it was a miracle they let Dr. Strange 2 be a Sam Raimi horror movie for a large chunk of the runtime

Sam Raimi's direction was the highlight of that movie. Everything else felt so chopped up and like it went through multiple rewrites and reshoots, but Raimi did his thing and it was great for that.

If anything, they should've leaned further into the horror angle.

Reports say that Raimi was seen in the ER after breaking his back carrying Multiverse of Madness, 'cause hoo boy some of the only things that held up in that movie on a rewatch were the Sam Raimi elements.

Kinda. the only movies that warrant that criticism are Ironman 3 and Thor2(Cap2 maybe). All the other movie's involved other heroes(Civil War) or were isolated incidents(Antman, Strange)

Outside of Wanda, I can't really call it good. Raimi's involvement didn't add much outside of first half feeling like a Spiderman movie.

My understanding of common criticism is that story is pretty weak and it relies entirely on nostalgia and memes. If so, I can understand why some would not like it, but I completely disagree with the notion of it being the "worst" MCU movie.

The only thing good about that movie was Christian Bales performance. If only they had leaned into him being the central point instead of having Thor being an open-mic comic.

Its other problem is that it's a comedy that was as funny as Son of Saul or Seven.

Really felt like they gave him an entirely different script from the other actors, cuz he felt like he was from a totally different movie from everyone else. His performance was probably the only good part, but even then his character was wholly wasted.

I was partial to how Thor rode Stormbringer into battle like it was a wizards broom.

Frankly the whole dynamic of using another [stupid] charactor telling the story as a way to interject obvious inaccuracies for comedic effect is something I can get behind.

captain marvel didn't make the list? so many people crapped all over that.

i enjoyed the hulk. it was much better than the 2003 version. definitely not great and one of the weaker movies of the infinity saga but was still enjoyable. also didn't think love and thunder was that bad but i did see that in theater with a cute girl and haven't watched it since. definitely way too much thor ass fanservice for the girls.

i didn't hate the marvels but not surprised to see it. dark world i expected to win and it is so far by a lot. i need to restart from the beginning and haven't seen dark world since before ragnarok so guess it gets a pass since i don't remember it much anymore.

i'm voting for the eternals. was so boring and i think they canceled the sequel so it's just a pointless movie now since i don't think they're gonna bother doing anything with them for avengers or anything. fantastic 4 could take it's place if the new one is as bad as the other 2. i've only watched the first and hated it and heard the 2nd is even worse. with how bad the MCU has been post end game i really don't expect the new one to be much better.
This is a sig
Thor 2 is just a boring movie movie that leaves absolutely no impact. I've watched it multiple times as part of MCU rewatches and for the life of me, I can't tell you who the villain is, what their motivation is or what the plot of the movie is.
This is a signature.
I haven't seen several of the more recent entries, so there's that. But I remember Captain Marvel being incredibly dull and uninspired. It was actually worse than Thor: the Dark World. And I have nothing at all against Brie Larson. I wanted to like the movie, and I liked the character just fine in Endgame. Her own movie was just dull as it gets.

Probably... Iron Man 2. Or maybe the first Thor. Fish out of water and 'protagonist starts out a huge jerk' stories already start on the backfoot with me. They can be good. But the 2 of them together and Thor being kinda meh earlier on for me, not my favorite. And Hulk is still the only MCU movie I haven't seen.

Thor 2 is very low on my list too.

Multiverse of Madness is a bit low too. I'm not fond of what they did with Wanda or the horror elements.

Agreed. I just finished rewatching it for the first time since I saw it in theaters, and it still holds up just as well. Genuinely fantastic movie and it baffles me that its such a hated film.

Phenomenal visual effects, awesome fighting scenes (Icarus vs Makkari=Superman vs Flash type of action was GOLD), with a great plot and characters put this movie in the upper tier of MCU movies for me.

I do think that Gemma Chan is a bit of a dry lead and doesnt do too well as a protagonist, but thats pretty much my only complaint.

The Marvels was an absolutely disjointed mess of a film with possibly the worst villain the MCU has had, which is almost an accomplishment. The opening fight was fun though. And the dynamics between the three leads was good but they could not salvage just how messy everything else was.

Though I will admit that some of my frustration comes from having just watch Secret Invasion before it. SI is easily the worst thing the MCU has done. And the plots of SI and the Marvels feel in complete contradiction to each other. So I was watching The Marvels while simultaneously thinking about how none of it seemed to align with SI, which just got me more frustrated because it made everything seem messier and meant I was thinking about SI, which I hated.

Hilariously enough, even Christian Bale thought the movie was suppose to be more serious based off the script they gave him for the movie. He came to visit our Firm, because we were helping him with a Orphan Adoption project that he's incredibly passionate about, and after his awkward as fuck "spirituality talk" he let us ask him about all the movies he's been in. I wanted to be kind as possible, so I made a comment "Your role as Gorr the Butcher was really good" and his only response to that was "Yeah, I thought the movie was going to be more serious from the script I was given." and that was it. He would normally say good things about the other films he talked about, which goes to show he probably didn't like the movie all too well lol. Though I did find it suspect that he spent majority of the time talking about his role in "The Flowers of War", which apparently was his favorite role to be in.
DI MOLTO!
I've watched every MCU movie and I think I'd say Love and Thunder as well

Now, I will say that I didn't entirely dislike Love and Thunder and I do think it picked up and got better from the City of Gods part and onward. Still though, the movie was definitely one of the Cringiest MCU films and they didn't handle it's villain as well as I would have liked. I wish we could have seen more godslaying from the character whose big thing was being a godslayer...

So it's like Kojima where he goes on twitter to post an entire essay to talk about films he likes and has selfies of him at the theater, and then for dogshit like Madame Web it's just "I saw Madame Web at the theater" and a picture of the poster pulled from Google Images?

I didn't mind Love and Thunder nearly as much as most people seem to. Having said that, I can't begin to imagine that Christian Bale ended up happy with how the movie turned out.

You know...that's accurate. There was some movies we mentioned that he couldn't remember at the top of his head either (we only had like 20-30 min to talk to him because it was during our hour lunch). But yeah it was cool to get some of his insights on movies, but it was clear he didn't enjoy how Love and Thunder turned out (he barely has free time and he even says he does get angry when he feels that free time ends up being a waste).
