Every Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie, Ranked From Worst to Best
37. Eternals
Initially, I wouldn’t have anticipated that a Marvel film directed by an Academy Award winner and inspired by some of Jack Kirby’s most daring comics would result in one of the company’s least crucial titles. Regrettably, Eternals never quite coalesced. It generally adheres to Kirby’s fundamental concepts with a few minor but bothersome modifications, such as transforming the malevolent Deviants into uninteresting monsters lacking goals or motivations. The ensemble boasts commendable supporting roles from Kumail Nanjiani and Brian Tyree Henry, but the main characters – Gemma Chan portraying Sersi and Richard Madden as Ikaris – find it challenging to convey their alleged passionate relationship (spanning 6,000 years, they seem as though they’re on their inaugural date, and things are going awfully). The script occasionally delves into intriguing themes regarding the relationships between superheroes, mythology, and religion, only to repeatedly forsake them in favor of routine combat sequences against dull enemies. It’s challenging to conceive of a more tedious film about immortal alien beings attempting to thwart impending doomsday than this one.
36. The Incredible Hulk
The production of this movie feels so disconnected, clumsy, and unappealing, as if Marvel was completely taken aback by the success of Iron Man and hastily produced it. The casting of Tim Roth as the world’s greatest soldier is a misstep that Loki, even with his extensive criminal record, could have avoided. (For further details, please refer to this article.)
The original version uses more informal language and a bit of sarcasm, while the paraphrased version aims for a more formal and objective tone.
35. Thor: The Dark World
Instead of nearly having Patty Jenkins’ Thor, we ended up with a film that feels rather dull – a tedious pursuit for a mystical artifact. The villain in this story is one of the least engaging in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. On a positive note, if this movie hadn’t performed so poorly, Marvel might not have been as open to making significant changes, resulting in the vibrant and entertaining Thor: Ragnarok. (You can read more about it here.)
34. The Marvels
This Marvel film isn’t the absolute worst – it actually ranks above three others on the list – however, it can be described as somewhat disorganized and intense. Three captivating Marvel characters (Captain Marvel played by Brie Larson, Ms. Marvel portrayed by Iman Vellani, and Monica Rambeau acted by Teyonah Parris) team up to thwart a Kree warlord intent on causing mischief for unclear reasons. Despite the actors’ strong performances, the plot is chaotic and filled with confusing decisions that lack coherence.
33. Captain America: Brave New World
Brave New World. This film introduces Anthony Mackie’s charming character Sam Wilson in a solo venture but falls short by presenting him with a dull antagonist and a narrative that is cluttered with unnecessary references to The Incredible Hulk, like the curiosity about Betty Ross’ fate, which left many fans puzzled.
32. Doctor Strange
In simpler terms, the movie “Doctor Strange” is visually stunning, but it still feels like an updated version of “Iron Man,” with a magical twist. The ending, where Strange deals with Dormammu, is impressive, but his eccentric cape leaves much to be desired. (For further details, please refer to the original article.)
31. Iron Man 2
Reflecting on it, it’s better than I anticipated, but it’s not a masterpiece yet. Sam Rockwell’s dancing talent does an admirable job of masking some flaws, though not completely. If they could trim about 15 minutes of the setup for The Avengers, it might indeed be something truly remarkable. (Read more here.)
30. Ant-Man
The Ant-Man movie isn’t terrible, but it’s challenging not to compare it unfavorably with the larger-scale Edgar Wright film we could have had. Nevertheless, Michael Peña’s character Luis stands out as one of the most remarkable non-superpowered characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
[Read more here.]
29. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
Title matchup: Ant-Man against Kang the Conqueror? Even the formidable Kang, portrayed by Jonathan Majors, admits that Scott Lang is operating beyond his level. This clash of titans could be seen as a symbol for the film itself – the down-to-earth, light-hearted universe of the Ant-Man series with its charming humor and relatable characters struggles to compete with the grandiose multiverse drama of Marvel Phase 5. As a blockbuster Marvel movie, it delivers satisfactorily. However, as an extension of the Ant-Man franchise, it falls short in comparison. Sadly, fans hoping for more Michael Peña’s Luis will be disappointed, as he is absent from this installment.
28. Ant-Man and the Wasp
The film “Ant-Man and the Wasp” shines brightest when it emphasizes its modest aspects. Humor, courtesy of Paul Rudd’s witty exchanges with his fellow actors, as well as Michael Peña’s heartfelt monologues, are standout features. Additionally, a poignant, small-scale narrative about a fractured family striving for reconciliation is another key strength. (Continue reading
27. Captain Marvel
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers could be the strongest hero, but her movie fell short on emotional depth. However, it remained engaging thanks to two outstanding performances: Ben Mendelsohn as the cunning Skrull Talos and Samuel L. Jackson, who benefited from impressive de-aging special effects, portraying a youthful Nick Fury. (For more details, check out this link.)
In this version, I’ve made an effort to maintain the original meaning while making it sound natural and easy to read by using simpler sentence structures and varying the word choices. The emphasis on “outstanding performances” and the mention of “impressive de-aging special effects” is also included in the paraphrase to highlight the key points from the original text.
26. Black Widow
2021 marked the year Scarlett Johansson’s solo outing as Black Widow was finally released, moving her away from the Avengers. However, instead of a standout role, she primarily acted as a straight character alongside her comedic Russian superhero team members, including David Harbour’s narcissistic Red Guardian and Florence Pugh’s captivating Yelena. Consequently, Black Widow may not have been the fitting farewell for the character. Nonetheless, it maintains its place as another strong Marvel production, featuring remarkable stunt scenes and a villainous figure in Taskmaster who can copy the fighting styles of whoever he fights against.
25. Thor: Love and Thunder
Experiencing Taika Waititi’s second Thor movie, “Love and Thunder,” seems somewhat like watching a magician repeat the same trick twice in quick succession. The first time was truly mind-blowing, but the second time, while still impressive, lacked the element of surprise. Christian Bale brings an eerie presence to Gorr the God-Butcher, yet his intense and emotional portrayal of a villain doesn’t quite harmonize with Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and his relentless wit. Essentially, “Love and Thunder” retains the same components as Waititi’s “Thor: Ragnarok,” but they don’t blend together quite as cohesively this time around.
24. Deadpool & Wolverine
The chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in this movie is just what you’d expect – it’s fantastic, with unexpected cameos that are almost too much. However, the story seems to push the limits of how much exposition a film can handle without becoming confusing. (With two tragic backstories for one character, it certainly tests your patience!) If you manage to not think about anything onscreen for even a moment, you’ll have an enjoyable experience. Reynolds and Jackman deliver the interaction between Deadpool and Wolverine that fans crave, despite the fact that the writers (including Reynolds) could have done a better job in certain areas.
23. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
In this version, I’ve aimed to make the text more natural while maintaining its original tone and meaning. I also replaced “Bizarro” with “Unconventional,” which is a term that implies something different or unusual but not necessarily negative. Furthermore, I revised the structure of some sentences for clarity and flow.
22. Avengers: Infinity War
As a film enthusiast, I must admit that this movie boasts an epic scale and ambition that’s hard to match, and its ending is truly unforgettable. However, despite these qualities, I couldn’t help feeling that something essential was lacking. If your idea of a Marvel movie is primarily about adrenaline-pumping action sequences with some witty remarks, then this movie should suffice. But if you prefer the characters, their interactions, and the moments of peace amidst the battles, this film might not resonate as deeply with you. (You can find more thoughts on it [here](…)).
21. Iron Man 3
The film was generally enjoyable, but its association with the Marvel Cinematic Universe somewhat diminished its impact. The movie culminates in Tony Stark retiring as Iron Man and setting off towards the sunset. However, this decision was later contradicted by six more movies featuring the same character. While Guy Pearce’s performance as Killian fell short of expectations, Robert Downey Jr.’s scenes with a bright youngster were particularly well-executed. (For further details, see [this link](…)).
This version maintains the original meaning while using simpler language and more natural sentence structures to make it easier to read and understand.
20. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Initially speaking: The climactic scene featuring dragons and monsters clashing in dense fog is disappointingly sloppy CGI. However, prior to that point, Shang-Chi could very well be Marvel’s finest action film, boasting numerous intense and intricate fight sequences. (The bus fight is particularly enjoyable.) Simu Liu heads a cast that delves deeper than most Marvel productions, with Tony Leung and Michelle Yeoh delivering nuanced supporting roles. Ben Kingsley and Awkwafina provide ample comic relief throughout, and while Kingsley’s Trevor Slattery as the Mandarin might not have been widely popular at first, Marvel has cleverly transformed him into a delightful secondary character.
19. Thor
The story unfolds across vast galaxies, yet it’s primarily based in the tiniest town of New Mexico – an unexpected setting for the action-packed movie, “Thor.” Despite some flaws in its structure and script, the film stands out due to exceptional acting performances by a talented cast. These stellar portrayals eventually became a distinguishing feature in Marvel movies, as they often managed to overshadow such issues. (You can read more about it here.)
18. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Ryan Coogler encountered an extremely tough task while working on “Wakanda Forever”: Besides creating a sequel that would rival the success of the initial “Black Panther”, he had to do it without the captivating actor Chadwick Boseman, who sadly passed away in the summer of 2020 as filming was about to commence. The movie truly shines when it incorporates Coogler and the cast’s feelings of grief over Boseman into the narrative of Wakanda mourning its deceased king. However, the remainder of the film can be a bit disorganized; a mixture of intriguing concepts, excessive characters, and an antagonist, King Namor, who is somewhat unclear in his motives.
17. The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)
The Marvel film, “First Steps” of the Fantastic Four series, undeniably surpasses the four prior attempts by Roger Corman and 20th Century Fox at establishing a successful big-screen FF franchise. Given the subpar quality of those earlier productions, it’s hard not to see improvement. While the movie boasts impressive visual design and an intriguing villain (the menacing Galactus, who seeks Earth as a snack due to feelings of loneliness and hunger), the titular characters appear somewhat lifeless and lackluster.
It’s a promising start; there’s still potential for improvement.
16. Captain America: Civil War
The plot of the movie isn’t convincing at all, and it seems like the entire film is geared towards the epic showdown between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers at the airport. To put it another way: Wow, that airport battle was absolutely thrilling!”
In this paraphrased version, I’ve tried to maintain the enthusiasm of your original text while making it more suitable for formal writing. The use of “Wow” is an informal way of expressing surprise or excitement, similar to “ZOMFG” in your original text. The ellipses (…) have been removed and replaced with a colon to improve readability. I’ve also omitted the links, as they were not part of the sentence being paraphrased.
15. Spider-Man: No Way Home
Jon Watts’ third Spider-Man movie, much like Sam Raimi’s third one, shares a similar level of intensity. Both films are packed with numerous villains. On the bright side, this film masterfully portrays Peter Parker as a character – a man who may stumble but never gives up on correcting his mistakes. It also introduces the concept of the multiverse significantly into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), making a significant mark in the story’s progression.
Jon Watts’ third Spider-Man film resembles Sam Raimi’s third one in terms of scale, as both feature multiple villains. Despite this, the film excels at depicting Peter Parker’s character – a person who may falter but always strives to do better next time. It also sets a significant precedent by incorporating the multiverse into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in an impressive manner.
14. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
After a 15-year absence, director Sam Raimi re-entered the Marvel universe with this thrilling, unconventional tale centered around a struggle for the survival of multiple realities. Reminiscent of his previous Spider-Man films, Raimi creatively incorporated his signature elements – such as slapstick humor, maniacal zombies, and shocking surprises – into the established Marvel framework. (For further details, see here.)
13. Thunderbolts (2025)
In the post-“Endgame” era, numerous Marvel films and series seem to be like Frankenstein’s monster, assembled from scraps of different comics, films, and lore. However, “Thunderbolts*,” unlike its counterparts, truly feels like a movie. It offers an engaging narrative and intriguing characters, particularly Florence Pugh as the revamped Black Widow. She embodies many of us who dislike our lives and find our jobs unsatisfying. Her purpose is found when she’s grouped with a team of similarly discontent mercenaries, including Wyatt Russell’s arrogant U.S. Agent and Hannah John-Kamen’s spectral Ghost. With its blend of action and a powerful allegory about overcoming despair and apathy through action and camaraderie, “Thunderbolts*” serves as a refreshing demonstration of what this studio can accomplish when they’re operating at full capacity.
*Note: Thunderbolts is a fictional title in this context.
12. Avengers: Age of Ultron
Despite some criticisms regarding its drop-off from the initial Avengers movie and the confusion surrounding Wanda and Pietro’s storyline, I can’t help but appreciate the powerful final sequence where the Avengers unite to rescue every soul in Sokovia – a quintessential Marvel moment that showcases their teamwork at its finest. (You can read more about it here.)
11. Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2
(Read more here.)
10. Thor: Ragnarok
9. Spider-Man: Far From Home
In the sequel to Marvel’s first Spidey film, Tom Holland reprises his role as the acrobatic superhero, Spider-Man. This movie, titled “Far From Home,” is slightly less impressive than its predecessor but offers a blend of romance, action, humor, and emotion. Although the famous line “with great power comes great responsibility” isn’t spoken, the theme is still deeply woven into the storyline. In this installment, Peter Parker (played by Holland) grapples with his feelings for MJ, portrayed by a witty Zendaya, while also being tasked by Nick Fury (a grumpy Samuel L. Jackson) to battle a group of destructive elemental creatures.
The Marvel sequel, “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” features Tom Holland as Spidey again. While it’s not quite as strong as the first film, it delivers a mix of romance, action, comedy, and drama. Although the phrase “with great power comes great responsibility” isn’t uttered, the theme is still prominent in the movie. In this outing, Peter Parker (Holland) struggles with his romantic interest in MJ (Zendaya) while also dealing with Nick Fury’s (Jackson) orders to combat a group of elemental villains.
8. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
James Gunn skillfully concludes his Guardians trilogy with a movie that strikes the perfect Marvel balance: Thrilling action sequences, quirky sci-fi visuals, and deeply emotional characters we grow extremely attached to. By the end of Volume 3, Rocket Raccoon transforms from a secondary Marvel character into one of the company’s most captivating and sorrowful heroes. Following a series of average films, Gunn effortlessly makes it seem simple. It’s unfortunate that he’s moving on to work with DC instead.
7. Avengers: Endgame
A significant advancement from “Infinity War” and arguably the second-greatest Avengers film, featuring grandiose action sequences, plenty of humor, and potentially more Easter eggs than any movie across all cinematic universes. (Read more
A noticeable leap forward compared to “Infinity War” and one of the top-tier Avengers movies, brimming with large-scale action sequences, numerous laughs, and an impressive number of Easter eggs-perhaps even more than any film in the history of a cinematic universe. (Read more
6. Spider-Man: Homecoming
Among the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most entertaining movies, it boasts captivating characters, thrilling Spiderman sequences, and an unexpected street vendor requesting a spin from Spider-Man. Aren’t you hooked?! (Find more details [here].)
5. Guardians of the Galaxy
In the middle of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s timeline, the first “Guardians” movie aided Marvel in becoming less rigid and demonstrated that their reputation was robust enough to draw viewers to properties with minimal mainstream fame. Before James Gunn took charge, the Guardians were barely mentioned; however, he transformed them into an unexpected blockbuster hit. It’s indisputable and unquestionable that Rocket is the best Guardian – this statement is beyond debate. (For more details, check out [this article].)
4. Captain America: The First Avenger
Although the film’s plot could use some tightening (as it condenses an entire war into a montage), Chris Evans’ portrayal of Captain America in this Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) production stands out as one of the most remarkable character adaptations. This movie breathes life into a hero often criticized for being dull or outdated, transforming him into a dynamic, endearing, complex individual embodying basic yet powerful human values. When you need a dose of inspiration, this Captain America film is a must-watch. (Source: [Read more here.])
3. Black Panther
In contrast to many Marvel films striving for profound connections with a broader universe, “Black Panther” demonstrates the merit of a more secluded approach. Towards the film’s conclusion, as Wakanda becomes open to the world and characters start appearing elsewhere, it appears to symbolize a joyful resolution. However, if this change means that future installments will become more scattered and packed with guest appearances, one could argue it might not be for the better. (Read more here.)
2. The Avengers
Despite the events in “Infinity War”, the original “Avengers” movie remains an astonishing feat that seems almost unbelievable. Each character is expertly balanced, the dialogue is concise, and the climactic Battle of New York stands as one of this century’s greatest action sequences. (Read more here.)
1. Iron Man
The original film remains unrivaled in its greatness. Reflecting on it now, we appreciate that the movie wasn’t bound to a larger universe, which allowed for a superior cinematic experience. Scenes featuring Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark testing his armor and flying for the first time conveyed the exhilaration of superpowers more effectively than any other film produced by Marvel or another studio.
