The Marvel universe is far bigger than just a bunch of Avengers. Even before the release of 2008’s Iron Man—and the post-credit scene that launched a Cinematic Universe—Marvel was working to cook up movies based on everybody from Daredevil to Spidey, from Wolverine to the Silver Surfer.
Disney continues to release Marvel movies each year, and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. In the gallery on this page, we rank every Marvel movie (including pre-MCU titles) released to date from worst to best by Metascore, which reflects the critical consensus for each film.

It’s not very often Marvel is involved in a movie that so blatantly swings and misses. Shackled by horrible reviews, last year's Fantastic Four reboot managed to eke out $168 million at the box office on a $120 million budget.
“Fantastic Four is so mediocre that its title seems like a violation of truth in advertising laws.” —Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times
