It’s exhausting to consider — and unhappy, too, in case you like these films — that “Spider-Man: Far From Home” is the final Marvel film of the yr. There’s no extra on the calendar till Fox’s “The New Mutants” early subsequent yr, and given what number of occasions that one has been delayed it will not be protected to imagine it truly will bee the following Marvel film. Anyway, the purpose is simply we’re about to get into an prolonged hiatus. No extra MCU films, no non-MCU Marvel films the remainder of 2019. We’re getting a little bit of a break from comedian e book films, with solely DC’s “Joker” origin film left. So that makes now an exceptionally good time to rank all these a long time’ price of Marvel films, from “Howard the Duck” to final yr’s “Black Panther,” “Avengers: Infinity War,” “Deadpool 2,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” “Venom” and “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” — and this yr’s “Captain Marvel, “Avengers: Endgame,” “Dark Phoenix” and “Spider-Man: Far From Home.” So let’s get to it. 58. “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer” Just a nightmare. A total nightmare. There have been a number of bad superhero movies, but from the talking gas cloud the filmmakers cast as Galactus to Jessica Alba’s dye job, this one transcends bad. 57. “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” A completely chaotic stir fry of nonsense that tells the story of how Wolverine obtained his claws. Features an early model of Deadpool (additionally performed by Ryan Reynolds) whose mouth is stapled shut, which ought to inform you all it’s essential find out about it.

56. “Elektra” That five minutes when they tried to turn Jennifer Garner into an action star went about as well as it should have. 55. “X-Men: The Last Stand” Just a total mess, incoherent from the word “go.” After losing director of the first two X-Men films Bryan Singer to the first Superman reboot attempt, replacement Matthew Vaughn gave way to eventual director Brett Ratner, who might have killed off the superhero genre entirely were “Spider-Man” not blowing up the box office. 54. “Fantastic Four” (2015) There could maybe have been a good movie in here somewhere — the cast (Michael B Jordan, Miles Teller, Kate Mara) certainly warranted one. But this Frankenstein of a film is a behind-the-scenes horror story, and you can see it in the totally disjointed final product. 53. “Daredevil” This was basically “Early-2000s: The Movie,” with Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Colin Farrell and Michael Clark Duncan as the primary gamers. The cherry on prime of this turd sundae was that rattling Evanescence tune.

52. “Fantastic Four” (2005) Tim Story’s first “Fantastic Four” is just sort of there, challenging you to remember it exists. With Chris Evans, who played the Human Torch here, going on to embody Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that gets tougher every year. 51. “The Punisher” (2004) This is the Punisher as a straight revenge thriller, and it’s not bad. Thomas Jane performs admirably, but the whole thing is missing that extra something that would have elevated it beyond standard genre fare. Setting it in Tampa didn’t help. 50. “Spider-Man 3” Maybe the dangerous outweighs the great right here, however Emo Peter Parker’s dance number remains one of many biggest single moments in any comedian e book film, sorry, haters. 49. “Howard the Duck” A infamous flop on the field workplace and, yeah, it is not precisely “good.” But now, 30 years faraway from its premiere, “Howard the Duck” is fairly enjoyable as a relic of the ’80s.

48. “The Punisher” (1989) Dolph Lundgren and Louis Gossett Jr. star in a low-rent ’80s grunge C-level classic. This one’s all novelty value. 47. “Ghost Rider” For a movie starring Nic Cage about a dude who rides a Harley and turns into a flaming skeleton, this is a surprisingly mundane movie. 46. “The Amazing Spider-Man” We could by no means work out what went improper with Marc Webb’s Spider-Man duology, however his alternative of Andrew Garfield to play Peter Parker is…
