Iron Man 3
en.wikipedia.orgThe reveal of The Mandarin in this film absolutely blindsided everyone, but not necessarily in a good way for all fans. Some loved the twist, while others felt it completely undermined a classic comic villain. - 2
Avengers: Age of Ultron
en.wikipedia.orgThis one is definitely a mixed bag for many. While it had some great moments, a lot of fans felt Ultron wasn't as threatening as he should have been, and that the film tried to cram too much in, making it feel a bit overstuffed. - 3
Captain Marvel
en.wikipedia.orgOh boy, where do we start with this one? 'Captain Marvel' had a significant divide between critics and audiences, partly due to review-bombing and some fans feeling Carol Danvers came across as overpowered from the start. - 4
Thor: Love and Thunder
en.wikipedia.orgTaika Waititi's second Thor outing really split the room. Many found the humor excessive and felt it undercut the more serious themes, while others couldn't get enough of the zany antics and thought Christian Bale's Gorr was wasted. - 5
Eternals
en.wikipedia.orgThis film was a big swing for Marvel, introducing a whole new team and a more cosmic, philosophical tone. It landed with a thud for some, who found it slow and disconnected from the rest of the MCU, though it's seen a bit of a renaissance since. - 6
Spider-Man: Homecoming
en.wikipedia.orgWhile generally well-liked, some fans weren't thrilled with Peter Parker's heavy reliance on Tony Stark and the advanced suit, feeling it made him too much of an 'Iron Man Jr.' instead of the independent Spidey they knew. - 7
Black Widow
en.wikipedia.orgThis long-awaited solo film for Natasha Romanoff faced criticism for arriving too late in the timeline, with many feeling its impact would have been greater if released earlier in the MCU's run. - 8
The Marvels
en.wikipedia.orgAs the lowest-grossing MCU film, 'The Marvels' definitely struggled to find its audience. Some criticisms included superhero fatigue and the expectation that viewers needed to watch multiple Disney+ shows to understand the plot. - 9
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
en.wikipedia.orgSam Raimi's take on Doctor Strange brought a unique horror vibe, which some loved. However, Wanda's character arc felt jarring to many, and the focus on the multiverse left some viewers feeling the stakes weren't as clear. - 10
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
en.wikipedia.orgMeant to kick off Phase 5 and highlight Kang, this film unfortunately disappointed a lot of people. It was often criticized for a weak script, over-reliance on CGI, and a lack of the grounded charm of earlier 'Ant-Man' movies. - 11
Captain America: Civil War
en.wikipedia.orgDespite being a critical darling, 'Civil War' definitely divided the audience. Choosing sides between Captain America and Iron Man wasn't easy, and some fans felt the conflict's resolution (or lack thereof) left a lasting impact they didn't appreciate. - 12
Spider-Man: No Way Home
en.wikipedia.orgThis movie was a massive hit, but even beloved films can be divisive! Some fans hailed it as the ultimate Spider-Man celebration, while others argued it leaned too heavily into fan service and nostalgia rather than pushing Peter Parker's story forward organically.
