12. Iron Man 2
Some (meaning me) might go as far as to say that this was unfairly maligned upon its release when in reality it’s perfectly serviceable as a popcorn flick. However, it certainly lacked a strict narrative thread as it disposed of more intriguing storylines such as Tony’s addiction and the idea that the very thing that had saved him was now killing him – for set up for the larger universe. An unforgivably forgettable villain, a third act that played like an after thought and the criminal poor utilization of Sam Rockwell sticks this at the bottom of the list. It’s a great film to flip to during commercial breaks and as a piece in the larger Marvel puzzle, but not much else.
