Every Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie, Ranked From Worst to Best
35. Eternals
Initially, I wouldn’t have anticipated that a Marvel film directed by an Academy Award winner and adapted from some of Jack Kirby’s most daring comics would result in one of the company’s least crucial releases. Regrettably, the movie Eternals, despite being generally faithful to Kirby’s core principles, fell short of cohesion. It made a few minor but significant adjustments that were rather disappointing – for instance, transforming the antagonistic Deviants into generic monsters with no discernible goals or motivations. The ensemble cast boasts commendable supporting roles from Kumail Nanjiani and Brian Tyree Henry, but the main characters, Gemma Chan as Sersi and Richard Madden as Ikaris, struggle to convincingly portray their long-standing romance. (Given that their relationship spans 6,000 years, they appear as though they’re on their first date, and it’s not going well.) The script occasionally delves into intriguing themes about the relationships between superheroes, mythology, and religion, only to consistently forsake them in favor of routine battle sequences featuring uninteresting adversaries. It’s challenging to conceive a more monotonous film about immortal alien robots striving to prevent universal destruction than this one.
34. The Incredible Hulk
The production of this movie seems to have been hastily put together, as if Marvel was taken aback by the success of “Iron Man” and produced it in a rush. Casting Tim Roth as the world’s supreme soldier, who transforms into a large bony creature, is not one of Loki’s criminal acts that we would compare it to. (You can read more about it
33. Thor: The Dark World
Nearly having Patty Jenkins’ Thor movie, we ended up with a rather gloomy pursuit of a mystical object, one of the most tedious villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If there’s a silver lining, it’s that if this film hadn’t performed poorly, Marvel might not have been as open to experimenting as they did with Thor: Ragnarok. (Read more
32. The Marvels
This Marvel film isn’t the most disappointing – it surpasses three others in the list, after all – yet it’s arguably the most disorganized and intense. Three captivating Marvel characters (Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel, and Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau) are unexpectedly thrown together to thwart a Kree warlord with malicious intentions. Despite the actors delivering impressive performances, the plot – albeit brief – is confusing and filled with peculiar decisions that barely make sense.
31. Captain America: Brave New World
In a nutshell, “Right hero, wrong plot.” This sentiment resonates with many recent Marvel films (even the upcoming “The Marvels”), but it’s most applicable to “Captain America: New World Order,” which grants Anthony Mackie’s captivating Sam Wilson his own movie only to burden him with a dull antagonist and a narrative cluttered with unnecessary references to “The Incredible Hulk” (leaving us all guessing about Betty Ross’ fate, no less).
30. Doctor Strange
In a nutshell, the stunning visuals of Doctor Strange are commendable, but it struggles to shake off the impression that it’s merely Iron Man 2 reimagined with a dash of magic. The clever conclusion featuring Dormammu earns a thumbs up, while the peculiar cape worn by Strange gets a thumbs down. For more insights, you can check out this article.
Doctor Strange’s impressive visuals are hard to ignore, but it still feels like an updated version of Iron Man 2, albeit with a magic twist. The intriguing finale involving Dormammu deserves applause, whereas the quirky cape worn by Strange is not as successful. If you want to learn more about this movie, take a look at this article.
Finally,
The eye-catching visual effects of Doctor Strange are undeniable, but it fails to escape the notion that it’s just Iron Man 2 with a magic makeover. The creative ending featuring Dormammu warrants praise, while the unconventional cape worn by Strange falls flat. For additional details about this film, you can read this article.
29. Iron Man 2
Surprisingly better than anticipated, yet far from exceptional. Sam Rockwell’s dancing skills can conceal many flaws, but not all. Trim 15 minutes of the prelude in Avengers and it could potentially be quite impressive. (You can read more here.)
28. Ant-Man
The Ant-Man film isn’t poor quality, but it feels like a scaled-down version of what we could have had from director Edgar Wright. Despite this, Michael Peña’s character Luis stands out as one of the most compelling non-superpowered characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Read more
Ant-Man isn’t a bad movie, but it’s tough not to compare it with the larger-than-life Edgar Wright film we didn’t get. However, Michael Peña’s character Luis is a standout among non-superpowered characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Read more
27. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
In the battle between Ant-Man and Kang the Conqueror, even Kang himself (played by Jonathan Majors) acknowledges that Scott Lang is biting off more than he can chew. This mismatch could symbolize the film itself: The quaint, low-stakes world of the Ant-Man series, known for its clever humor and relatable characters, struggles to compete with the grand multiverse drama unfolding in Marvel Phase 5. As a Marvel blockbuster, it’s satisfactory. But as a follow-up to the Ant-Man series, it falls short, especially if you were expecting more of Michael Peña’s beloved character, Luis, since he is completely absent from this movie.
26. Ant-Man and the Wasp
As I sat down to watch Ant-Man and the Wasp, I found myself most captivated when the film embraced its miniature world. The charismatic Paul Rudd delivered a series of witty exchanges with his fellow actors, while Michael Peña’s heartfelt monologues left me in stitches. Beyond the laughs, the movie also offered a poignant, small-scale story about a family struggling to mend its broken bonds. Overall, Ant-Man and the Wasp was at its best when it showcased its unique blend of humor, heart, and microscopic action. (For further insights, check out this review.)
25. Captain Marvel
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Brie Larson’s character Carol Danvers is arguably the most potent hero. However, her film could have benefited from a tad more emotional depth. Despite this, it remains engaging, primarily due to two standout performances: Ben Mendelsohn as the cunning Skrull Talos, and Samuel L. Jackson, along with his impressive de-aging visual effects, portraying the young Nick Fury. (You can read more about it here.)
24. Black Widow
2021 marked the long-awaited solo outing for Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow, taking her away from the Avengers. However, instead of leading the show, she largely served as a straight character opposite her quick-witted Russian superhero comrades, such as David Harbour’s self-centered Red Guardian and Florence Pugh’s captivating Yelena. Consequently, Black Widow might not have been the fitting farewell the character warranted. Nevertheless, it remains another strong Marvel production, boasting impressive action scenes, and an intriguing antagonist in the shape of Taskmaster, who has the ability to replicate combat styles of any adversary he encounters.
23. Thor: Love and Thunder
Viewing Taika Waititi’s second “Thor” movie, “Love and Thunder,” can be somewhat like witnessing a magician performing the same magic trick twice. The first time was astounding. The second time, it remains impressive, but the element of surprise is greatly diminished. Christian Bale portrays Gorr the God-Butcher effectively, yet his intense and highly emotional villain persona doesn’t quite align with Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and his constant humor. Essentially, “Love and Thunder” contains all the components found in Waititi’s “Thor: Ragnarok,” but they don’t blend together as smoothly this time around.
22. Deadpool & Wolverine
The camaraderie between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in this movie is exactly what you’d expect – it’s fantastic, even shocking at times. The appearances by other characters are unexpected to say the least. Unfortunately, the narrative seems to push the limits of how much background information a film can have without becoming confusing. (One character’s tragic past is enough, but in this case, there are at least two!) If you can manage not to think too hard about what’s happening onscreen, you’ll probably enjoy yourself. And Jackman and Reynolds deliver the expected dynamic between Deadpool and Wolverine, reluctantly teaming up to save the Fox X-Men universe. It would be great if the writers (which, to be fair, includes Reynolds) had been a bit more consistent in their storytelling.
21. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
20. Avengers: Infinity War
While this film boasts a grand scale and an ending that’s truly memorable, it seems to lack something essential for some viewers. If you’re primarily seeking high-octane action with a sprinkle of witty dialogue, then this film might satisfy your needs. However, if you appreciate character development, camaraderie, and the quieter, more intimate scenes between battles, this movie may not be as appealing to you. (For further insights, read more here.)
19. Iron Man 3
The film, despite being well-made, was somewhat diminished by its connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The plot culminates in Tony Stark deciding to leave his Iron Man life behind and ride off towards the sunset. However, he went on to star in an additional five films following this. Guy Pearce’s character Killian fell short, but Robert Downey Jr.’s exchanges with a sharp-witted child were top-notch. (For more details, see [here](…)).
18. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Initially, let me point out that the climax, featuring dragons and monsters clashing in a dense fog, appears poorly executed with CGI. However, prior to this, Shang-Chi could potentially be Marvel’s finest action film, boasting numerous intense and intricately choreographed fight scenes. For instance, the one on the San Francisco bus is particularly enjoyable. Simu Liu delivers a strong performance as the lead character, backed by a thoughtful ensemble cast featuring Tony Leung and Michelle Yeoh who deliver rich performances. Ben Kingsley and Awkwafina provide consistent comic relief, with Kingsley’s portrayal of former Mandarin Trevor Slattery, initially less popular among Marvel villains, now transformed into an endearing supporting character.
17. Thor
In an unexpected twist, this sweeping, universe-encompassing tale primarily takes place in the tiniest town of New Mexico. Despite its flaws, “Thor” stands out as the initial Marvel film where exceptional acting and captivating portrayals managed to surpass structural and script issues – a pattern that later became synonymous with Marvel productions. (Continue reading
16. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Ryan Coogler encountered a formidable task in creating “Wakanda Forever”: Not only was he required to produce a sequel that matched the excellence of the original “Black Panther”, but he had to do so without Chadwick Boseman, who tragically passed away during the summer of 2020, just as filming was set to commence. The movie shines most when it seamlessly incorporates Coogler and the cast’s grief over Boseman into the narrative of Wakanda grappling with the loss of its king. Unfortunately, the remainder of the film can be a bit disjointed; a blend of intriguing concepts, numerous characters, and an antagonist, King Namor, whose motivations are somewhat unclear.
15. Captain America: Civil War
The story lacks credibility and barely withstands a moment’s inspection, as it primarily focuses on setting up the epic showdown between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers at the airport. To put it simply: Oh my goodness, the battle at the airport is incredibly thrilling! (You can read more about it here.)
14. Spider-Man: No Way Home
In Jon Watts’ third Spider-Man movie, we find a level of quality similar to Sam Raimi’s third Spider-Man film. Interestingly, both films are packed with numerous villains. On the bright side, this production does an excellent job of portraying Peter Parker as a character – someone who frequently stumbles but is always determined to correct his mistakes the next time around. Furthermore, it introduces the concept of the multiverse into Marvel Cinematic Universe films in a significant and impressive manner, making a notable mark in the ongoing storyline.
13. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
After a fifteen-year absence, director Sam Raimi reentered the Marvel universe with an exhilarating and unconventional tale about a struggle for the survival of the multiverse. In much the same way as his Spider-Man films, Raimi managed to incorporate his unique style and visuals – such as slapstick humor, maniacal zombies, and startling jumpscares – into the more conventional Marvel storyline. (For further details, see here.)
12. Avengers: Age of Ultron
Despite some criticisms that it’s not as strong as the original Avengers movie and has issues with Wanda and Pietro’s storyline, I find the climactic sequence in Sokovia where the Avengers unite to save every life incredibly captivating – true Marvel magic at its finest. (Read more here.)
11. Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2
In my opinion, the latest Marvel film in question boasts an excess of post-credits scenes, at least four to be precise! Yet, it’s hard not to admire the audacity of transforming their lightest franchise into a sequel that concludes on a somber note. It’s the only Marvel movie that manages to stir tears from my eyes, all while maintaining its humorous streak, even poking fun at alien deity phallic symbols. To me, that combination is unbeatable. (Read more here.)
10. Thor: Ragnarok
9. Spider-Man: Far From Home
In the second Spidey movie from Marvel, starring Tom Holland as the incredible web-slinger, the film is only slightly inferior to its predecessor, offering a mix of romance, action, humor, and emotion. Although the phrase “with great power comes great responsibility” isn’t explicitly mentioned, the film Far From Home still strongly explores this concept, as Peter Parker (Holland) grapples with his feelings for MJ (Zendaya, delivering a witty performance) while also being tasked by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson in a grumbly mood) to take down a group of elemental villains.
8. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
James Gunn skillfully concludes his “Guardians” trilogy with a movie that offers the perfect blend of Marvel elements: Thrilling action scenes, quirky science fiction visuals, and deeply emotional characters we grow incredibly attached to. By the end of “Vol. 3”, Rocket Raccoon transitions from being a secondary Marvel character to one of the most intriguing and emotionally complex heroes in the company. Following a series of average films, Gunn masterfully makes it seem effortless. It’s unfortunate that he is now moving on to work with DC.
7. Avengers: Endgame
Taking a significant leap forward from “Infinity War” and widely regarded as the second-best Marvel’s Avengers film, it is packed with enormous action sequences, plenty of humor, and potentially more Easter eggs than any movie ever produced within a cinematic universe. (You can read more about it
6. Spider-Man: Homecoming
Among the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s movies that are hard to resist watching multiple times, boasts captivating characters, thrilling Spider-Man scenes, and an unexpected street vendor requesting Spider-Man to perform a flip (which he does). Aren’t you hooked?!? (For more details, click here.)
5. Guardians of the Galaxy
At the halfway mark of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the initial Guardians movie played a pivotal role in making Marvel more relaxed and demonstrated that their reputation was robust enough to draw viewers to characters with minimal mainstream fame. Before James Gunn came along, the Guardians were practically an afterthought, but he transformed them into an unexpected blockbuster hit. It’s indisputable that Rocket is the finest among the Guardians; this is a fact, so there’s no need for debate about it. (You can explore more details here.)
4. Captain America: The First Avenger
Although this film has a somewhat disorganized narrative structure (as an entire war is essentially compressed into a montage), it’s worth noting that Chris Evans’ portrayal of Captain America in this movie might be the most successful character adaptation within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This film transformed a hero often criticized as dull or outdated into a dynamic, appealing, and complex individual embodying straightforward human values. A must-watch MCU film when you need a boost of inspiration. (Read more here.)
3. Black Panther
In contrast to many Marvel films that strive for profound connections with the cosmos, “Black Panther” demonstrates the merit of a more isolated strategy. The movie’s finale, where Black Panther decides to share Wakanda with the world and commit characters to future appearances, is intended as a joyful conclusion. However, if this decision leads to a sequel that becomes more spread out and packed with numerous guest stars, it might not be as satisfying. (Source: https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/4/17319606/black-panther-sequel-wakanda-marvel-cinematic-universe)
2. The Avengers
Despite the events in “Infinity War”, the original “Avengers” movie remains a remarkable feat that seems almost unbelievable. Each character is skillfully balanced, the script is concise, and the epic Battle of New York at its conclusion is undeniably one of the most spectacular action sequences of recent times. (Read more here.)
1. Iron Man
The original film remains unmatched in its greatness. Looking back, it’s clear that being free from obligations to a larger universe enhanced its quality. The scenes where Robert Downey Jr.’s character, Tony Stark, tests his armor and subsequently takes flight for the first time, convey the excitement of superpowers more effectively than any movie ever made by Marvel or anyone else in terms of cinematic history.
