Bottom 3 MCU movie.

That, Thor 2 and Hulk.

Still like a 6 though.

This. It's only sin is being just more Iron Man. I have no idea why it still has a bad reputation when most of the origin movies throughout the MCU have been at least as weak or worse.

None of the origin movies are worse.

I've always thought ScarJo was stellar as a blonde and okay-ish as a redhead. Some women are just simply destined for certain hair colors and not for others. It would've been better just to leave her as a blonde throughout. So the allure of Black Widow wasn't there for me first and foremost. But that led to the other part of the trailer: the villain.

If your hero is armored from head to toe, why would you have a villain with exposed head and arms? Unless Iron Man hits him directly in the chest, that armor is useless. One shot could render him dead or absent of an arm. And if you lose a limb while flying, you're dead anyway because you're not gonna be able to recover.

I never saw the movie, obviously.

But that villain was enough to take me out of any desire to see it. It's like putting Robocop up against a guy wearing chain mesh. Like, how is this even remotely a fair fight? It's criminally stupid for the bad guy not to have a full suit of armor when going up against a hero who is completely covered.

You might argue that less armor means you're braver, but that just makes the hero look like a pussy because it's the villain who goes into the fight without armor and the hero who has the chicken-shit helmet to protect him. Anyway you look at it, it's creatively flawed.

Everything I've read about the film seems to imply the writing or director is on par with that creative decision.

Reason the villain isn't covered in armor is because he isn't mega filthy rich like Tony. But he does get a full suit of armor from a benefactor later in the movie.

That makes sense, but it's also kinda like saying that somebody doesn't have the training resources of Mike Tyson. If you can't compete, it's best to stay out of the fight.

Sam Rockwell was the best part of that movie and really needs to come back into the series. Would love him as a tech guy for the Thunderbolts.

Honestly, both villains have some of my favorite villain performances in the MCU, and that's saying something.

It really, really is. Hulk is such a weirdly aimless movie, out of place in the MCU.

Iron Man 2 was fine when I watched it.

Only Marvel movie I've seen so far that I actively didn't like was The Incredible Hulk.

IM2 is in the bottom tier of MCU movies, but I would hesitate to call it legitimately bad.

The Sam Rockwell presents weapons scene alone.

Because the movie is really just Banner wandering. There's the one plot thread of him trying to cure his condition which goes nowhere, and outside that there's no real growth, no character development, and is just him moving from setpiece to setpiece.

The whole movie was about him finally stopping running and learning to be at peace with the Hulk. If anything, Avengers set him back to just hiding out in the third world somewhere no one can find him again. Any movie can be boiled down to "he goes places and does stuff". It's certainly not a great movie but the plot and character arc are pretty clear.

But he never does that. He's never at peace, never controlled. No development was shown. Really the only MCU movie that has shown any real character development for Banner and Hulk was Ragnarok, which is a shame because he's a fantastic character that deserves better.
