Sub-Zero

What is your least favorite movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Groucho

Worst: Ant-Man

Best: Edgar Wright's Ant-Man

Ant-Man. Thoroughly mediocre, the attempts to tie it into the MCU felt forced ("We should call The Avengers!", "Hey, you're an Avenger!"), the story beats were so trite and the villain was the worst of any in the MCU. Even Rudd couldn't elevate the material, though he tried. Thank god for the gravitas Douglas brought.

TGM

Iron Man 2.

Brack

The Incredible Hulk. The character was finally fun to watch in The Avengers, but the irony is we probably won't get another Hulk solo movie anytime soon due to Universal having right of first refusal for any future Hulk films.

I like all the films people have mentioned so far. The weakest to me by far is Thor: The Dark World. Not completely terrible but I would say its overall the most forgettable entry to date. Iron Man 2 is a close second but overall has quite a few fun sequences that elevate it a bit.

This exactly.

The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 3 are easily at the bottom for me
Captain America: The First Avenger just ahead of those two

all the rest I enjoyed immensely

I went with Incredible Hulk, though Thor The Dark World and Iron Man II are close behind.

I settled on the Hulk film because I found it kind of boring and it stands out as an oddball in the Marvel canon because Norton's Banner is so different from Ruffalo's (far superior) interpretation. I also think the movie suffers from a lack of an origin story by dropping us in the middle of the story.

TIE: Iron Man 2 and Thor: The Dark World.

Mabuse

Movie I like more than all of them: Ang Lee's Hulk.

Maybe only the original Iron Man is better.

Why So Blu?

My Top 3 LEAST favorite are:

1. Captain America: First Avenger
2. Ant-Man
3. Iron Man 2

Brack

I prefer Ang Lee's Hulk over The Increbile Hulk too. It's not a great movie, but I like its style.

Had to go with IM:3 for the lose.

Defiant1

I went with original Thor. Snoozeville!

Iron Man 3 wins this easily for me. I don't find any of the MCU movies "bad" movies by any means, but aside from the Mandarin stuff, the sudden villain turn of the VP, and the amount of time Tony spends out of the suit, the way the ending just wraps up so quickly with Pepper, Extremis, and the removal of the Arc Reactor from his chest bugs me even more on repeat viewings. Iron Man 2 and Thor 2 are down there as well.

You can totally skip this film and not have to worry about being out of the loop before watching A:AOU.

Brack

Eh, his PTSD from IM3 carries over into AoU, and makes Tony's compulsion/motivation to create Ultron more believable than if IM3 never existed.

DJariya

I don't dislike them, but I think the Thor movies are my least favorite.

I preferred Thor as more of a supporting character in The Avengers movies.

Decker

Thor Dark World and Iron Man 2, I guess.
Is The Incredible Hulk part of MCU? I didn't think it was.

DJariya

Yes it is.

William Hurt played General Ross in that movie and he's also in Captain America: Civil War

Also, don't forget that Tony Stark had a post credits cameo at the end of The Incredible Hulk

Groucho

It's been a while, but wasn't that cameo moved up to before the credits?

Why So Blu?

It was.

PhantomStranger

I can't believe the hate for The Incredible Hulk. The movie isn't that bad. Iron Man 2 is a terrible movie. Mickey Rourke was terribly cast as the villain in IM2. That is a good actor gone bad.

Brack

The Incredible Hulk made the mistake of being absolutely boring. At least you have RDJ doing his thing if nothing else in IM2.
