All Marvel movies get high ratings and most of them are pretty fucking bad.

I'm once again trying to keep my expectation as low as humanly possible. Only a very small size of superhero films have lived up to their hype/ratings

Deadpool, think this got an 80%, which is fair. I would have gone 7/10, but it's close enough.
Logan was :drool: , easily a 90% film
Iron-Man, another movie that was pretty damn good and deserved around what it got. Would have personally gone 8/10 vs the 94 it got, with how fucking boring and lame the bad guy was. Not to mention that it made no fucking sense. Old ass tech company guy with no military training or experience hops in this suit for the first time and is able to out punch iron-man who's wracked up tons of experience fucking with his? Seems legit. I know, it's a movie, but that shit s always stupid. Same principal for whiplash. He's got hardly any of his body covered. Shoot one of those rockets directly at him or at his feet and it's over in an instant.

GoTG, another movie that lived up to it's hype. Not quite as good as the critics stated, another 8/10 movie vs the 91 it got

X-Men First Class and X-Men Days of Future Past - Loved em both and both are well deserving of their phenomenal ratings. That being said Apocalypse deserved a 20-30%, not the 48 it was gifted. X2 and X-Men both got 8x% and I think those are fair as well. They aged okay, not super well, but well enough and they were good for what they were.

I'm sure there are a few others that live up to their hype, but for the most part, Marvel movies get 90+ and are pretty shit. Especially these big ones. Anything in it's 3rd+ installment, anything staring multiple people (avengers, civil war etc..) have all just been fucking awful. They won't be stopping anytime soon since they're still building for the infinity war. I feel like those movies are going to be by far the most expensive movies ever created and that they'll break every single record ever made in a fucking landslide. Unless they somehow completely bomb, which I just don't see happening, they'll at least be entertaining.

End rant lol.


TLDR : hopefully this is good, not getting my hopes up, Marvel has let me down too many times in the past.



One of the only movies I'd truly add to this list is the winter soldier. Cap is just a bad ass, the scene where he takes down a quintet on his own is hands down one of my favourite movie scenes ever

Rotten Tomatoes ratings are misleading.

They aren't an average of ratings. Just the percentage of people who said it was a good movie vs bad movie. Some movies that get 90s are just a slightly above average movie that a lot of people think is better than a 7/10.

WW only got such good reviews because it is a Woman Superhero... Otherwise the movie itself is a 80% on tomatoes.

Once again, RT can be misleading since their rankings are a percentile of positive reviews vs negative reviews. A movie could get 100%, but every rating could have been a 6/10. WW getting a 90 doesn't mean it's a 9/10 movie. It was closer to a 7 or 7.5/10, but still, it got a lot of positive reviews and it deserved them. It was a pretty good movie.

In terms of drama movie sure, in terms of superhero movie no other movie is better than WW at the moment.

It is an actual down to earth movie where the hero cares about people and wants to help them and then does help them. Most movies seem to forget that a super hero is supposed to help/save people. Especially Marvel movies, those are 100% all about the big boring battles.
