Since the first Blade film in 1998, there have been 26 Marvel movies to hit the big screen during this generation's current comic movie craze. This list contains every one in my opinion from best down to the most awful. I'm not including any animated, straight to video or TV, or Howard the Duck. I'd like to hear your opinions as well and see if the majority agrees with me or if they have their own lists. I'll also rate them with Amazon stars.

Wow, the 1994 shitacular Fantastic 4 film didn't make the list? Aw, come on Warzone wasn't all that bad, it was better than most of the sucky.

You think so? Personally, I liked the first one better mainly because Spider-Man 2 had more long "soap opera" moments. However, I think they did a much better job with Dr Octopus than Green Goblin as far as costume goes.

spider-man 3 should be in the puke fest category, i'm a huge spider-man fan but that movie just insulted the chatacter
MadJakHatesSpinoffs
MadJakHatesSpinoffs - 6/7/2012, 4:36 PM
lol. Spider-Man 3 was bad. I think the only reason I gave it 2 stars was because the first half wasn't too bad. After he got the black suit, it went down from there. The reason I didn't include the 94 FF was because it was never released in theaters.

Spider-Man is my personal favorite and I'm really hoping they don't mess up Amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing that opening night. I plan to add this to the list after it comes out.

People should watch the daredevil directors cut before judging the movie the theatrical cut was really bad but the directors cut is a really good movie its like a completely different movie

I agree with you that the director's cut of Daredevil was better. IMO, that was a 3 star rather than a 2 star. I'm just strictly doing this on the theatrical releases. This is my first post on the site, so I'm enjoying this discussion. This is a nice side activity I can do on a slow day at school or work.

I hate to be pedantic but you forgot Howard the Duck and Man-Thing among probably some others, good list although I don't agree with it 100%

Where's Hulk from 2003? I thought that film got a bad rap, it had a lot of strengths.

Where is that brilliant tv movie Nick Fury:Agent of Shield? And real Captain America movie from 1990..

Those lists suck really bad. Blade was the best what Marvel have done until now and the avengers box office cant change that fact. Wesley Snipes as Blade >>> other marvel movies!

Back when I didn't know much about Daredevil I thought it was an awesome movie but when I found out how much better it could've been I was disappointed in the movie....and Elektra, had so much potential.

Avengers and X-Men First Class will always be in my top five.

1. Avengers
2. Spider-man 2
3. X2
4. Iron man
5. Spider-man
6. Blades 1-3 (The story for 3 was kind of meh, but the lines Ryan Reynolds is given are amazing thus putting it on par with the other movies.)

Xmen: First Class should definitely be on the 5 star list! That film had it all.

I didn't think Kick Ass was a Marvel feature. I know Mark Millar and John Romita Jr wrote it, but I didn't think it was published by Marvel. In any case, I never saw anything "Marvel" in the beginning or ending credits. Don't get me wrong, I own Kick Ass, I just don't recall it actually published by Marvel (correct me if I'm wrong). I did not include Man Thing because it was straight to DVD. I didn't include Howard becaue that was more of a George Lucas film and was made long before the comic movie started to become a phenomenon. I also didn't include the original Punisher (Ludgren), Captain America or the TV Dr Strange Movie. This list is strictly for the modern day theatrical releases.

You lost me the minute you put that piece of fan fiction that was X-Men: First Class so high on the list. That story could have been written outside the Marvel Universe using any sort of original archetypal characters. Instead, it cashed in on X-Men and bastardized its origins.

I think the X-Men movies should be on the worst freaking movies I've ever seen in my entire life list.

Spider-Man 3 wasn't that bad to me. The only bad part was Parker acting weird with the symbiote on.
