It all seems a bit desperate from Marvel, the ridiculously large cast does not interest me, FOX Xmen I love though are way too old now and the Z list MCU characters were poor in other movies. MCU should focus on good story telling rather than the mess they created post Endgame.
I will wait for the next two Avengers films to appear on streaming if I can be bothered. I have skipped quite a few of the films and several MCU TV shows as the writing got pretty poor so I lost interest.
I've found myself in the same boat as you @Fire_and_Ice_Returns and ironically, I can get into MCU movies for free. Earlier this year, I found myself on an action movie binge (Die Hard and John Wick). I was somewhat surprised with myself when I found that I really didn't want to see CA: BNW, yet I like Harrison Ford and Giancarlo Esposito. But I don't feel like watching for various reasons: namely boredom and having to watch a bunch of mediocre MCU slop. Plus of the MCU's false advertising more often than not. My dad simply said "That's a sign you're maturing." He's right. I'm not a fool for the MCU anymore. There are too many old faces in front and behind the camera to feel fresh. It will take a lot for me to see it, even as a fan of a lot of those actors and characters.

Marvel just seem to have lost the ability to write a good script. I sat through Falcon and the Winter Soldier which was nonsensical and one of the last MCU shows I bothered with. Marvel have made way too much content and diluted there brand and put people (me) off watching.
I enjoyed Deadpool and Wolverine as it was stupidly funny despite a paper thin plot, that film was a one off with two charismatic leads.
Thunderbolts* I will likely watch as it seems more appealing than Cap 4 though it's a wait till VOD for me. The Sentry is way too powerful for that team to handle so I see them talking him out of it in the end with a group intervention or something. 😂
The only film I plan to watch at the cinema is Superman, I may watch Jurrasic World 4 as hokey as the films are dinasaurs are fun to see on the big screen.
F4 I was never a big fan off to be honest though I have the other films on bluray, I did not mind the Jessica Aba films, they are a fun guilty pleasure. First Steps have totally miscast Reed Richards which took me out of the trailers, it's a wait for VOD.
Concerned about a pregnant Sue Storm but suppose that might be interesting. All in all it looks good. Still not sure I will head out to see it on the big screen.
Love it.
Looks good !

No Way Home almost got in to the top 10, I like the first act of Endgame then it went downhill quickly after that for me.
Iron Man 3 was when MCU jumped the shark for me. It was just boring things that we'd seen done better, and throwing away great casting for a cringe-worthy joke. One of the worst MCU movies for me.
The Captain America Trilogy is still some of my favorite MCU movies. Now the MCU is just homework. That's what I think why most movies haven't been doing well at the box office lately. It may be time for Kevin Feige to step down from his leadership role.
Fair enough, I don't get that at all from it, I found it a very exciting and dramatic movie and one of the best MCUs. Maybe the standard Marvel big action finale is as interesting as ever (and to be honest I didn't even love the finale in the first Iron Man) but I thought it's a just smart and funny film with a good emotional centre. And it even turns into Lethal Weapon briefly which is great.
Afraid I don't give a toss about the Mandarin thing: didn't read the comics, it doesn't matter to me as it's a film. To me it was a great character, very funny, I'm not going to get offended about it.
Then the ending is reminiscent of the endings of EVIL DEAD trilogy and DRAG ME TO HELL.
It may have crash zooms; IM3 is set at Christmas.
Four films that I would have trouble recalling much from these films. This to me means they weren't terrible cause I tend to remember terrible films, they weren't great cause I would remember great they are just "there" or as the kids say now "meh".
I didn't like Guardians 2 but I can recall the plot and certain bits and sections. That means it leaned more into the terrible film for me.
Movies I remember and didn't like:
I never saw Eternals, the movie about the Rings, Captain America New World Order, The Marvels, and the Thunderbolts. Not really interested in the characters or what story they are telling.
I am not sure I will be watching the Fantastic Four film as there have been too many misses in the recent pass. Paying over $80 for tickets and snacks I have to be careful how to spent that money.
