I haven't seen all of them so I'll simply do the ones that I HAVE seen.

Howard the Duck 2/10 (one forgiving star for Lea Thompson, who was a celebrity crush of mine back then)
X-Men 7/10 (one of the best X-Men movies)
Spider-Man 5/10 (good movie, but I can't stand the acting)
X2 6/10 (the last good X-Men movie for a long time)
Spider-Man 2 4/10 (same)
Elektra 2/10 (no idea what the heck this was doing being made)
Fantastic Four 5/10 (mildly entertaining on a B-movie level)
X-Men: The Last Stand 4/10 (not comic book accurate, but could have been worse)
Spider-Man 3 3/10 (yeah...no)
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer 4/10 (a step down from its predecessor)
Iron Man 7.5/10 (great kickoff to the MCU, best Iron Man film to date)
The Incredible Hulk 6.5/10 (some parts were good, it just wasn't great)
X-Men: Origins - Wolverine 5/10 (Deadpool)
Iron Man 2 7/10 (I'm in the minority, but I enjoy it)
Thor 5.5/10 (Tom Hiddleston saves these movies)
Captain America: The First Avenger 6/10 (not the best by a long shot, but underrated)
X-Men: First Class 4.5/10 (not I wanted from a prequel and had some really cheesy, cringeworthy moments)
The Avengers 7.5/10 (this is what a blockbuster should be)
The Amazing Spider-Man 7/10 (I like this one much better than the Tobey Maguire films)
Iron Man 3 6.5/10 (I wasn't mad over the direction it took. Overall still RDJ doing a good job with this character)
The Wolverine 5/10 (just doesn't do anything for me; pretty bland)
Thor: The Dark World 5.5/10 (better than the first movie, but still average)
Captain America: The Winter Soldier 8/10 (a thrilling installment, one of my favorites)
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 5/10 (they went off the deep end again)
X-Men: Days of Future Past 6/10 (critics and fans loved this one, so I expected more)
Guardians of the Galaxy 7/10 (fun with a great soundtrack, can be difficult to rewatch after a while)
Avengers: Age of Ultron 6/10 (Maximoff twins were great, but an underwhelming installment all the same)
Ant-Man 7/10 (much better than I'd ever have guessed, Paul Rudd is fantastic)
Fant4stic 3/10 (Marvel's first family does not get a first-class movie ever, it seems)
Deadpool 7.5/10 (hell, yeah! Gets repetitive on repeat viewings, but still a satirical blast of a superhero movie. Ryan Reynolds owned it)
Captain America: Civil War 9/10 (best time I've ever had at the theater with a superhero movie)
X-Men: Apocalypse 7/10 (reviews were mixed, but I thought it was one of the better sequels. Character development like this would have been nice in First Class)

I strongly recommend The Punisher from 2004. One of my favorite films.

reply

Howard the Duck (1986) - 10/10. Only this, Manos and Dragon Ball Evolution deserve such a score.

Blade (1998) - 7/10.

X-Men (2000) - 8/10

Blade II (2002) - 8/10

Spider-Man (2002) - 8/10

Daredevil (2003) 7/10 for the directors cut. I always liked Affleck's Daredevil.

X2 (2003) - 8.5/10

Hulk (2003) - 5/10. Likely the one I remember the least as the cast is the only thing that stands out. I liked Elliott and Jennifer Connelly but disliked Bana quite a bit. Need to revisit.

The Punisher (2004) - 9/10. I love the directors cut and it's one of my favorite comic book adaptions. I'll never understand the hate. Loved Tom Jane as The Punisher.

Spider-Man 2 (2004) - 9/10.

Blade: Trinity (2004) - 6/10.

Elektra (2005) - Worthless/10. Never understood why they didn't just do Daredevil 2, Affleck cameoed so why not??

Fantastic Four (2005) & Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer - 7/10. Both of these films are guilty pleasures, so I'd have liked that 3rd final film that everyone minus Alba wanted. Ironically, every cast member is perfectly cast with the exception of her.

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) - 4/10. It'd be lower as this pos is one of the worst films I've seen, thankfully DOFP corrected many mistakes.

Ghost Rider (2007) & Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012) - 5/10. Both of these are middling affairs with not much to like about them.

Spider-Man 3 (2007) - 6/10

Iron Man (2008) - 8/10

The Incredible Hulk (2008) - 6/10.

Punisher: War Zone (2008) - 5/10

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) - 5/10

Iron Man 2 (2010) - 6.5/10

Thor (2011) - 7.5/10.

X-Men: First Class (2011) - 7/10

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) - 7/10

The Avengers (2012) - 8/10

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) - 5/10.

Iron Man 3 (2013) - 6/10

The Wolverine (2013) - 6.5/10

Thor: The Dark World (2013) - 8/10. I liked the Thor films more than most it seems.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) - 9/10

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) - 4/10. One of my most disappointing franchises I've seen.

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) - 9/10

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) - 9/10

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) - 7/10

Ant-Man (2015) - 7.5/10

Fantastic Four (2015) - 3/10

Deadpool (2016) - 8/10

Captain America: Civil War (2016) - 8/10

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) - 6/10
