Sure , they all follow standardised formulas , but thing seem to be working far more than " just o.k. " for them . However , this was n’t always the case .
It ’s easy to rip on the current DC Extended Universe , but when you go back 10 - 15 age , it was Marvel who was in the sam eposition . Right now , they have Robert Downey Jr. , a boat - load of good - search Chrises , and Rocket Racoon . Back then , they had Ben Affleck in a red suit that looked like an ugly couch , Nic Cage , and Howard the Duck .
Nonetheless , most the great unwashed have absolutely no hint about the demented lurch Marvel take on back - in - the - day . They only see what ’s going right at the present moment .

They know that thing could be a lotworsebecause they have been .
Without further ado , here are25 Forgettable Marvel Movies Only Superfans Remember .
25. The Punisher (2004)
The biggestproblemwith this version of The Punisher has to do with the fact that ’s he ’s kind of likable . A pot of this has to do with how actor Thomas Jane played him in Marvel ’s 2004 film , The Punisher , but the script is to fault as well .
This movie , produced by Lionsgate , explores an alternative take on The Punisher origin that had Frank Castle ’s full family pass over out after an undercover sting go awfully incorrect . regrettably , it was almost a complete wash with both the buff and critic .
23. Captain America (1990)
This straight - to - video film feature Matt Salinger as the iconic comic book character . Matt is actually the boy of renowned source , J.D. Salinger , who , of course , wroteCatcher In The Secale cereale . Besides that interesting bit of trivia , there really is n’t much to say about the 1990’sCaptain America .
Back in the late ' 80s , film producer Menahem Golan disunite way with low - budget movie medical specialist
Cannon Films , with a severance deal that reach him the right field toCaptain America . He decided to put together a film that ultimately became regarded as a sloppy , low - budget while of chalk that was only pick up on the big silver screen in France , of all places .
22. Ghost Rider (2007)
Poor Nicolas Cage . For an actor with such a secure early career , he for sure made a few stumble in the last few years . Such missteps let in 2007’sGhost Rider . Of naturally , he stars as the leather - clad deed of conveyance fictional character complete with a bally skull . Yeah , it ’s passably hard not to make a bally - skull cool , but Nic and Columbia Pictures sure managed that .
Though the result in the film are n’t half - bad , the story leave something to be desired .
The ending , in especial , is very disappointing , specially since the motion-picture show ’s cast include such natural endowment as Eva Mendes and Sam Elliott .
21. Hulk (2005)
While Ang Lee’sHulkdid take some interesting risk , specially visually . However , using a multi - panel storytelling proficiency throughout the full length of the movie , to make it come out more like a laughable book , is so irritating and take you right out of the narrative .
The villain is also a turn of a misfire , as are the particular effects which may have been somewhat innovative for the time , but now seem almost as strange as Lou Ferrigno ’s Hulk .
However , Ang Lee did bring a very thoughtful coming to dealing with the character that did save view of the film , but it ’s been rub out by Mark Ruffalo ’s MCU personation of the theatrical role .
20. Blade Trinity (2004)
Perhaps the most disappointing thing aboutBlade Trinityis the fact that it was written by David S. Goyer , the military man creditworthy forBatman Begins , not to mentionBladeandBlade 2 , which were decidedly better than the unbelievably forgettable third plastic film .
In the third Blade movie , Wesley Snipes teams up with a band of human vampire slayers to combat Dracula .
Most of the acting in this movie is a little atrocious but at least Ryan Reynolds got an early chance to radiate . Regardless , the movie was perfectly forgettable .
19. Howard The Duck (1986)
Casual Marvel lover still have absolutely no idea who Howard the Duck is , even though he was present in a brief minute inGuardians of the Galaxy . The truth is , they are probably right not to fuck who he is . However , George Lucas clearly dissent when he pass a nonsensical amount of money turning this character into a blockbuster star .
It ’s all very camp .
In 1986’sHoward the Duck , Howard ( The Duck ) stumble around Earth poking fun at American xenophobia while battling " The Dark Overlords of the Universe " who aim to invade the planet .
18. Daredevil (2003)
When it amount to costume that resembles regretful ' 70 furniture , you do n’t get more on point than Ben Affleck’sDaredevilsuit .
The picture itself was n’t a stark misfire . After all , it did extend a duo of entertaining sequence , a fun score , and interesting special upshot . The cast is strong as well , but it does n’t mean a whole good deal due to a very flimsy script with characters write even more thinly .
Now that Netflix has successfully reintroduced Daredevil , it ’s almost completely wiped this film off of the mathematical function .
Only hard-core temerarious fan ( or hater ) retrieve its cosmos .
17. Dr. Strange (1978)
Far before Benedict Cumberbatch cast his go on the silver CRT screen , CBS tried bringing the character of Doctor Strange to lifespan in a TV moving-picture show calledDr . foreign .
It asterisk Peter Hooten as the titular case and Jessica Walters ( fromArrested Development ) as the villain , Morgan LeFay .
Though the film was sure as shooting attempt to do what the recentDoctor Strangepulled off successfully , it just did n’t shore , due to an overcomplicated scheme by the scoundrel , a lean book full of boring cushioning , and short limited effects .
24. Man-Thing (2005)
In 2005 , Lionsgate decided to resign a film establish on the Marvel entity Man - Thing . This scary swampland monster was basically an unknown property except for hardcore Marvel sports fan . That was one of the many reasonableness whyMan - Thingwas commit straight person - to - video and shelved for year before debut on the SyFy Channel .
Everything about this moving-picture show was bashed , especially its hokey news report - line .
Worst of all , the consequence were nowhere up to par , which makes it hard to betray the mind of a giant swamp - monster . What was Marvel think with this one ?
16. The Punisher (1989)
Perhaps the strange thing about 1989’sThe Punisheris that Marvel would n’t let the filmmakers use the iconic skull triiodothyronine - shirt on the film ’s star , Dolph Lundgren .
queerly enough , this version of this Punisher film holds up better over clock time than the one that came out in 2004 .
apart from a few comedic interlude , this plastic film was exceptionally spectacular and chock - full of violence . There ’s upward of 90 on - screen elimination .
It also had some interesting moral quandaries surrounding The Punisher sputter to write the kids of the men he plans to terminate . Even with all of this , the movie has easily been blank out .
