The Storm X-Men one was pretty bad. And so disappointing because I love the character.
Best ones I think are the second X-Men, Logan, and Into the Spiderverse.

X-Men is technically not marvel studios movie. But I hope the reboot is better.
But I have to agree with you about Storm.
Guardians of the Galaxy 1, it's a good movie, but its what I believe started the "well that happened" marvel dialogue, because the other movies couldn't capture that charm of it.
I asked a buddy of mine, if he could recommend only one movie from either Marvel or DC for me to watch, which one would it be? He said GotG. I watched it and loved it, bought the video game, made my husband watch it, who also loved it.
It's a great movie, but it's release caused a new wave of shitty imitators
It was so good the following movies suck by comparison?
It was different, but it was well received, so Marvel has been implementing its comedy in all movies since GotG1 unsuccessfully instead of keeping to the more serious with some slight funny dialogue in it.
Havenβt seen many, but when I tried rewatching iron man 2 if felt disjointed and tonally weird. And love and thunder was disjointed as well. Not a marvel movie fan at all though.
I would swear there was 20 important minutes missing from Guardians 3
probably ant man, as well as any film that prominantly features ant man as a character. the sci-fi nonsense justification of his powers is just way too stupid for me, and it taints everything it touches.
Pym particles are the speed force of the marvel universe.
I only saw Endgame and I thought it was okay. So I would say it's my least favorite and that's because it's the only one I've seen. I guess it's also my favorite.
Oh wow. I can't imagine going into Endgame completely blind. Had you read the comics at least? Or was it just an ensemble of weird characters with powers fighting each other and travelling through time?
What would have even been the point in the fight?
This is a quite delayed response, but it was essentially your second question. I went with friends who watched a lot of the MCU movies and they were trying to explain everything to me in real time. I eventually just asked them to save their breath because the backstory was so long. I did enjoy the spectacle of the movie, though the impact was lost on me.
Hello friend! I see you in [email protected] all the time!
Unfortunately (you know me lol) I just can't get into Marvel stuff at all even though I wish I could.
~~I believe I'd have to go with Guardians of The Galaxy (II IIRC, the one with the prison scene) specifically because of Uncle Lloyd Kaufman's non-speaking cameo lmao, and that's the only reason.~~
Wait I missed a word lol. I guess my answer is kind of "all of them" in that case. I haven't seen many of them, too, to make a fair comparison.
Far from Home or whatever itβs called. I havenβt seen it. It irks me so bad that I havenβt seen it. Definitely the worst Marvel movie until I see it. Fucking hate that movie. Or rather, you know, indifferent. god
I hate superhero movies. Can't wait for this crap to be over
That wasn't an answer to the question.
I'm with you. The infantilism of films is so depressing
You're not alone brother.
After Endgame I think only the spider-man one's are okay. I stopped watching the rest because I'm pretty fed up with the MCU and going by all their business decisions lately I highly doubt I'd like any of the new content.
I want more movies like Logan, hyper realistic down to earth heroes. Let Denis Villeneuve direct one.
Unfortunately the MCU model is that director vision is cast aside in favour of producer input. It's why Eternals looks like an artistic Chloe Zhao film, but is a muddled mess of a story. We were deprived of an Edgar Wright Ant-Man film for the same reason
Whatever the most recent one at the moment is.
But seriously, my wife and I watched all of the Marvel movies in release order from Iron Man through Infinity War. I watched a sone of Endgame and turned it off after a bit. Sounds like we made the right choice.
We also stopped Game of Thrones after season 7 episode 4, which appears to be the ideal place to stop to maintain good memories of the show.
I watched GoT all the way through and found it disappointing. However I'm now doing a rewatch and enjoying it. Looking back, the first season is less creative than I remembered. Its just played with great conviction. There are some great quotes though and the budget for sets and set pieces is amazing.
On rewatch lots of stuff i missed makes more sense now that I'm familiar with the world and characters, even knowing how it ends.
I refuse to watch a Marvel movie until they make an Asbestos Lady movie and then that will be my favorite. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Victoria_Murdock_(Earth-616)
Until then, they all suck equally.
I hate Avengers Endgame and everything it represents.
Eternals. Too many characters, not enough story. It's also sinfully boring. Not to mention the random Harry Styles cameo that feels like an outtake
The Captain Americas. They're so generically tropey.
I also hope Sony isn't offended that I wasn't a fan of the Spiderman movie I happened to be an extra in. Best eighty bucks ever earned though, I just had to walk down the street doing my thing. Even did an intentional "accidental cosplay" for all who notice.
I do love Chris Evans as Captain America though. His expression of slight disapproval throughout the films is fantastic.
Fun fact: for non-Americans, who are most of the world and the biggest contributors to box office take for MCU films, this character and premise is just goofy. The films are fun to watch in a campy sort of way, but I was surprised to hear Americans talk about them as a serious spy thriller series
I thought the second one was great for exactly the reason that they subverted the generic trope of good guy, bland. Then they found success with that and just repeated it ad nauseam.
Multiverse of Madness.
Plot was flat.
Characters were portrayed vastly different.
Horror element fell short of goofy.
Fan service characters felt like "last minute additions".
That's a tough question. There's so many; more just keeps coming.
Wakanda Forever. First part where weβre saying goodbye to Chadwick was good in a sad way, but I couldnβt stand anything else that happened after that. I was just so annoyed with every character, I hated every minute of it.
Secret Invasion is by far the worst Marvel production though, just a total shitshow and primarily what caused me to cancel D+, I was just done with the shitty writing.
Oh wow I completely forgot about Secret Invasion. I don't think I even finished it, just lost interest.
I liked iron man and winter soldier and the sound mixing was good.
Anything starting with "Avengers" or "Captain America," except for the first occurrence of each, all ran together into forgettable mush.
