Nah man I thought it was awesome.
The worst is Captain Marvel by about 50 billion miles. And Captain Marvel was still pretty good. But definitely the weakest.

Eternals is by far the worst. It's both too long and too short, it's boring, the pacing sucks, the story makes no sense, it pretends to be deep whilst bringing nothing of substance to the table, it has too many characters and almost all of the jokes fall flat. I've seen every MCU movie in the theater and this was the only one I severely disliked, to the point where I kind of regret seeing it.
Captain Marvel is second for me, purely due to the cringy, sloppy writing, in your face political messaging that interferes with the plot ('Smile Honey', 'I've got nothing to prove to you' and 'I'm just a girl' come to mind) and an absolutely unlikable main character, which is a shame because I like Brie Larson outside of this movie. It has some good moments here and there, It's certainly a more competent movie than Eternals, but overall I just don't ever want to see it again.
The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2 and Thor 2 are flawed, but still enjoyable to me, although they are at the lower end of my list, and pretty much everything else varies from good, to great, to amazing.

Loved Iron Man 2. Thor: Dark World is the real absolute worst MCU movie.

It's mediocre, not as good as the first one, and not one I really care to rewatch in full, but it wasn't bad.
Definitely not the worst. The first two Thors were bland, too dark and boring. Though the characters all had potential.
No, Captain Marvel is the worst, closely followed by Black Widow. The Eternals is down there too.

I don't think Iron Man 2 was good, but it's not quite as bad as Thor 2, Age of Ultron or Infinity War, or any of the Phase Four movies (Sony's film aside). Also, I'm happy to share that after Doctor Strange 2, I've finally made the decision to stop torturing myself, and to stop engaging with the MCU. I'll watch Guardians of the Galaxy, but only if they're not doing a bullshit crossover.

At the time i thought it was trash but then dark world came out then guardians 2, ant man, black panther, captain marvel, just mediocre trash after trash suicide squad quality forgettable movies.

Iron Man 2 is at least enjoyable. Eternals is a drag.

From the top of my mind Thor dark world and Iron man 3 are worse.
Iron man 2 first half is good and the battle against the robots is cool too. The second half is overall boring and the main villan with the whips was meh.
I honestly think iron man 2 was not necessary at the time. They should have waited after the avengers movie to release it and use the "devil in the bottle" plot together with the PTSD plot from iron man 3. Imo it would be much better set up.

Iron Man 2 was fine. Thor 2: Dark World, and Incredible Hulk have it easily beat for worst MCU film.
TBH, I don't even think IM2 is the worst in the series. I hated IM3. Tony Stark with PTSD? Seriously? I always hate those "hero loses his powers until the end" type films. I didn't pay to see a movie called Tony Stark 3, I paid for Iron Man 3. I want the fucking suit for more than I got it. The spam ending didn't make up for what I thought was a boring and kinda sad film. But it's still better than Thor 2 and the Norton Hulk. Both of those are just bad with not qualifiers or redeeming qualities.

Don Cheadle is good but Terrance shouldn't have been greedy, he was a great fit with RDJ.
