What I've seen and enjoyed:

X-Men (from the 2000's). First Class. Days Of Future Past. Sam Raimi Spider-Man. Blade 1+2.

What I've seen and didn't enjoy:

Iron Man. Avengers 1. The Amazing Spider-Man. X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Daredevil.

It feels like Marvel's earlier movies were better? From their MCU stuff I get the vibes of tokusatsu but it takes itself way to seriously and the Joss Whedon banter is so reddit it hurts.

Thoughts?

    maybe another reason why they were better is that they werent locket into having to built up for the next movie, like adding a important character for a future movie or plot which let them have more freedom for the writting staff

      Indeed, I think the whole MCU shtick of every movie bleeding into the next leaves for films that aren't memorable on their own.
