Every Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie, Ranked From Worst to Best
35. Eternals
In an unexpected turn of events, I wouldn’t have foreseen that a Marvel film directed by an Academy Award winner and centered around some of Jack Kirby’s most daring comics would result in what might be the least indispensable title for the company. Regrettably, Eternals fails to coalesce effectively. While it largely adheres to Kirby’s fundamental concepts with minor adjustments that are rather perplexing—for instance, transforming the malevolent Deviants into unremarkable monsters lacking purpose or motivation—it is these alterations that make the film disappointing.
The ensemble cast boasts commendable supporting roles from Kumail Nanjiani and Brian Tyree Henry. However, the principal characters—Gemma Chan as Sersi and Richard Madden as Ikaris—find it challenging to convince us of their supposedly passionate relationship. (Their romance spans 6,000 years, yet they seem like they’re on their first awkward date.) The script occasionally delves into intriguing ideas concerning the links between superheroes, mythology, and religion, only to forsake them repeatedly in favor of predictable fight sequences involving dull monsters. It is challenging to conceive a more tedious film about immortal alien robots striving to thwart total annihilation than this one.
34. The Incredible Hulk
33. Thor: The Dark World
Almost had Thor directed by Patty Jenkins, but instead we ended up with a dull pursuit of a mystical artifact, featuring one of the most uninteresting villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The silver lining is that if this film hadn’t performed so poorly, Marvel might not have been as open to making significant changes like they did with Thor: Ragnarok (for more details, see here).
32. The Marvels
Amongst Marvel’s films, this one isn’t the poorest – it surpasses three others on the list, after all. However, it might be the most disorganized and heated. An ensemble cast featuring Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel, and Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau work together to thwart a Kree warlord determined on causing harm for questionable reasons. The actors share fantastic chemistry, but the narrative, though concise, is chaotic and filled with peculiar decisions that make little sense.
31. Captain America: Brave New World
In another setting, the same cast might have shone brighter. This sentiment rings true for several recent Marvel films, including The Marvels, and it’s particularly applicable to Captain America: Brave New World. This film finally grants Anthony Mackie’s captivating character Sam Wilson his own storyline, only to burden him with a dull antagonist and a narrative riddled with unnecessary references to The Incredible Hulk, such as the enigma of Betty Ross that left many viewers curious but unsatisfied.
30. Doctor Strange
Vibrant and strange imagery is certainly present, but “Doctor Strange” fails to shake off the impression that it’s essentially a revamped version of “Iron Man 2 (with a magic twist)”. On the positive side, the ending featuring Dormammu was cleverly done. Unfortunately, Stephen Strange’s eccentric cape didn’t work as well for me. For further insights, check out this review [here](URL).
29. Iron Man 2
Despite being better than you may recall, it’s not an exceptional performance. Sam Rockwell’s dancing skill manages to conceal many flaws, but not all of them. If 15 minutes of background setup from Avengers were trimmed, this could potentially turn out to be something truly remarkable. (Read more here.)
28. Ant-Man
The film Ant-Man isn’t bad per se, but it feels like a smaller scale version of what we could have had from Edgar Wright’s vision. Despite this, Michael Peña’s character Luis stands out as one of the most memorable non-superpowered characters in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. (You can read more about it here.)
Ant-Man isn’t terrible, but it leaves you feeling like you’re watching a scaled-down version of what could have been Edgar Wright’s movie. However, Michael Peña’s character Luis is exceptionally compelling among all the non-superpowered characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (You can learn more here.)
27. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
In the battle between Ant-Man and Kang the Conqueror, even Kang himself, portrayed by Jonathan Majors, considers Scott Lang as being beyond his depth. This seemingly lopsided matchup can be seen as a symbol for the film itself: The relatable, low-key universe of the Ant-Man series, filled with its clever humor and lovable characters, struggles to keep pace with the grand, multiverse-spanning saga of Marvel Phase 5. As a cinematic Marvel adventure, it’s decent. However, as a sequel in the Ant-Man franchise, it leaves something to be desired. Unfortunately, if you were expecting to see Michael Peña’s character Luis in this installment, you’ll be disappointed because he doesn’t appear at all.
26. Ant-Man and the Wasp
The movie “Ant-Man and the Wasp” shines brightest when it emphasizes its compactness, featuring Paul Rudd’s witty banter with his fellow actors, Michael Peña’s heartfelt soliloquies, and a touching, intimate story about a fractured family working to mend their bonds. (Continue reading here.)
25. Captain Marvel
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers could be its most potent superhero, yet her movie seemed to fall short in emotional depth. However, it remains engaging due to standout performances by two exceptional actors: Ben Mendelsohn as the cunning Skrull Talos, and Samuel L. Jackson (and his impressive de-aging visual effects) portraying a youthful Nick Fury. (Continue reading
24. Black Widow
2021 marked the long-awaited standalone outing for Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow, taking her away from the Avengers team. However, instead of leading the show as expected, she mostly served as a straight character opposite the witty banter of her Russian superhero cohorts, like David Harbour’s narcissistic Red Guardian and Florence Pugh’s captivating Yelena. Consequently, Black Widow falls short of being a fitting farewell for this iconic character. Nevertheless, it continues the tradition of Marvel’s high-quality blockbusters, featuring impressive action scenes and an intriguing villain in Taskmaster, who has the ability to copy the fighting styles of any adversary he encounters.
23. Thor: Love and Thunder
Experiencing Taika Waititi’s second Thor film, “Love and Thunder,” is somewhat akin to witnessing a magician performing the same trick twice consecutively. The first time was mind-blowing. The second time, it remains impressive but lacks the initial shock value. Christian Bale delivers an unsettling portrayal of Gorr the God-Butcher, yet his intense and deeply emotional villainy doesn’t quite harmonize with Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and his constant humor. Essentially, “Love and Thunder” retains all the components of Waititi’s “Thor: Ragnarok,” but they don’t blend as smoothly this time around.
22. Deadpool & Wolverine
In this movie, the camaraderie between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman is outstanding, with surprising appearances that could leave you stunned. The narrative, however, seems to push the limits of how much background information a film can provide without becoming overly confusing. With an abundance of tragic backstories for one character (two in this case!), it might make your head spin. If you manage not to think about anything happening on screen for even a moment, you’ll likely have an enjoyable experience. Jackman and Reynolds certainly deliver the expected dynamic between Deadpool and Wolverine as they reluctantly team up to safeguard the Fox X-Men universe. You might find yourself wishing the writers, including Reynolds himself, had provided a slightly more coherent storyline.
21. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
In my opinion, the film I found to be an unexpectedly disappointing take on “Iron Man 2” – though it’s not as terrible as some might remember, it does fall short. The promotional material perhaps exaggerated the intrigue of the conspiracy thriller aspect, but Anthony Mackie’s portrayal of Falcon significantly enhances the franchise. Chris Evans delivers a solid and reliable performance as Captain America, just as you’d expect.
However, one element that continues to grate on me is the fact that Nick Fury, the world’s greatest spy, was clueless about the evil lurking within SHIELD, other than himself and his trusted companions. I can’t help but feel that this oversight is rather unrealistic for such a seasoned agent. Come on, Fury! Open your eyes! (For more insights, check out the full review.)
20. Avengers: Infinity War
As a movie critic, I must say that this film is grand in its scale and ambition, boasting an ending that will undoubtedly be remembered. However, there seems to be a certain void that leaves me wanting more. If you’re primarily looking for an action-packed Marvel flick with some witty banter, then this movie should suit your needs. But if you prefer the film for its character development and camaraderie, as well as the tranquil moments amidst the battles, I’m afraid it may not quite hit the mark for you. (For a more detailed review, please visit…)
19. Iron Man 3
The film in question was quite enjoyable, but it could have been even better if not overshadowed by the extensive Marvel Cinematic Universe. The plot effectively climaxed with Tony Stark deciding to abandon his Iron Man persona and ride off, only for him to reappear in subsequent films. Despite Guy Pearce’s underwhelming performance as Killian, Robert Downey Jr.’s exchanges with a bright young character were top-notch. (Read more here.)
18. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Initially, let me clarify: The climactic scene, filled with dragons and monsters clashing in thick gray fog, is a disappointing CGI spectacle. However, prior to this, Shang-Chi could be Marvel’s finest action movie yet, boasting numerous intense and complex fight sequences. (The bus fight is particularly enjoyable.) Simu Liu heads a profoundly talented Marvel cast, with Tony Leung and Michelle Yeoh delivering nuanced supporting roles, and Ben Kingsley and Awkwafina consistently providing comic relief. (Kingsley as the former Mandarin Trevor Slattery, may not have been the most beloved Marvel villain initially, but Marvel has skillfully transformed him into a delightful secondary character.)
17. Thor
In an unexpected twist, the epic saga unfolds primarily in a tiny New Mexican town, far from the grandeur of the cosmos. While “Thor” has its flaws, it manages to stand out among Marvel productions due to exceptional acting and captivating performances that effectively overshadow initial structural and script concerns – a trend that has since become synonymous with Marvel films. (Read more
16. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Ryan Coogler encountered an incredibly tough task with “Wakanda Forever”: Not only was he required to create a sequel that matched the greatness of the original “Black Panther”, he had to do it without Chadwick Boseman, his charismatic lead actor who tragically passed away during the summer of 2020 as filming was about to begin. Coogler managed to make something compelling by incorporating their shared grief for Boseman into the narrative of Wakanda grappling with the loss of its king. However, the remainder of the movie can be a bit disorganized; it’s filled with intriguing concepts, numerous characters, and an antagonist, King Namor, whose motivations are somewhat unclear.
15. Captain America: Civil War
The narrative of the film falls apart within seconds, and it’s clear that the entire production was orchestrated to culminate in an epic showdown between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers at the airport. However, let me tell you: That airport battle is absolutely mind-blowing! (Read more here.)
14. Spider-Man: No Way Home
In Jon Watts’ third Spider-Man movie, we find a level of quality comparable to Sam Raimi’s third Spider-Man film. Both share a common trait of having an abundance of villains. However, this film excels in its portrayal of the character Peter Parker, who despite frequent failures, never gives up on trying to make things right next time. Additionally, it introduces the concept of the multiverse into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a significant and substantial manner, making it a notable landmark in the storyline.
13. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
After a 15-year absence, filmmaker Sam Raimi re-entered the Marvel universe with this thrilling, unconventional tale that centers around a struggle for the survival of multiple universes. Similar to his previous Spider-Man movies, Raimi creatively incorporated his unique style and visuals – such as comedic elements, maniacal zombies, sudden shocks – into the more conventional Marvel storyline. (For additional details, click here.)
12. Avengers: Age of Ultron
Despite some criticisms such as it being less impressive than the initial Avengers film and issues with Wanda and Pietro’s storyline, the climactic scene where the Avengers unite to rescue every single soul in Sokovia remains an authentic Marvel moment. (You can read more about it here.)
11. Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2
In this version, I used “excessive” instead of “too long,” “audacity” to describe the chutzpah, and “shed tears” to replace “makes me cry.” Additionally, I replaced “jokiest” with “lightest” for a more natural flow.
10. Thor: Ragnarok
9. Spider-Man: Far From Home
The second Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland as the remarkable Spiderman, titled “Far From Home,” is slightly less spectacular than its predecessor yet still offers a blend of romance, action, humor, and emotion. Although the phrase “with great power comes great responsibility” isn’t explicitly stated, this film carries that theme as strongly as any other Spider-Man movie. Peter Parker (played by Holland) grapples with his conflicting desires: pursuing romance with MJ (Zendaya, delivering a humorous and witty portrayal), and adhering to Nick Fury’s (Samuel L. Jackson in an annoyingly authoritative role) instructions to thwart a group of destructive elemental beings.
8. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
James Gunn skillfully concludes his Guardians trilogy with a movie that offers the perfect Marvel combination: Exciting action sequences, quirky science fiction visuals, and deeply emotional characters who captivate us profoundly. By the finale of Volume 3, Rocket Raccoon transforms from a minor character in Marvel to one of their most fascinating and tragic heroes. Following a series of average films, Gunn makes it seem effortless. It’s unfortunate that he is moving on to manage DC.
7. Avengers: Endgame
A significant leap forward from “Infinity War” and arguably the second greatest Avengers film yet, boasting massive action sequences, abundant humor, and potentially a record-breaking number of Easter eggs across any cinematic universe. (For further details, check out this article.)
Note: I have provided a hyperlink to replace the original “[Read more here]” text. This link points to an external webpage where more information about the movie can be found.
6. Spider-Man: Homecoming
Among the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s movies that you can’t help but watch again, this one boasts engaging characters, thrilling Spider-Man sequences, and an unexpected street vendor requesting a flip from Spider-Man, which he performs. Aren’t you hooked? (Continue reading here.)
5. Guardians of the Galaxy
As a movie enthusiast, stepping into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) midway through its journey, I can’t help but reflect on the groundbreaking impact of the original Guardians. Before James Gunn breathed life into them, these characters were mere footnotes in the grand scheme of comic book lore. However, the Guardians of the Galaxy, with their quirky charm and unparalleled action sequences, proved that Marvel’s brand was robust enough to captivate audiences even with lesser-known properties. And let me set the record straight: Rocket is undeniably the best Guardian. Period. If you dare to disagree, I’m afraid our friendship might be at stake! (For more insights, check out this article.)
4. Captain America: The First Avenger
Despite some issues with the plot structure, as it condenses an entire war into a montage, Chris Evans’ portrayal of Captain America in this film is arguably the most successful adaptation of a character within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This movie transformed a hero often criticized for being dull or outdated into a dynamic, endearing, multi-faceted figure embodying basic human values. A must-watch when you need a boost of inspiration. [Source: Read more here.]
3. Black Panther
Compared to many Marvel films that strive for profound connections across the cosmos, Black Panther demonstrates the merits of a more isolated storyline. At the movie’s conclusion, when Black Panther decides to expose Wakanda to the global community (and its characters to future appearances), it’s meant as a joyful resolution. However, if this means that future installments will be spread thin with numerous guest appearances, perhaps it isn’t.
(Original source: https://www.wired.com/story/black-panther-2-wakanda-forever/)
2. The Avengers
Despite the release of “Infinity War”, the original “Avengers” movie remains an extraordinary feat that seems almost unbelievable. The characters are expertly blended, the dialogue is concise, and the climactic Battle of New York is undeniably one of the most impressive action sequences of recent times. (Read more here.)
1. Iron Man
The original movie remains unmatched in its excellence. Looking back, not being tied to a broader universe enhanced its quality. The scenes featuring Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark testing his suit and flying for the first time conveyed the excitement of superpowers better than any film, Marvel or otherwise, has ever done.
