From Spider-Man 2 to Howard the Duck, let's look at the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of pre-Disney Marvel movies.
The Big Picture Do you recall what Marvel movies were like before Disney took over? Let's look at it this way. Critical reception to the latest MCU release, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, has been average at best, currently rocking a Rotten 46% on Rotten Tomatoes. Even a low score like that tops pre-Disney Marvel films like Howard the Duck or 2003's Daredevil .
The first two X-Men films from 20th Century Fox are another example of how good a Marvel adaptation can be apart from the Mouse House. X-Men and X2: X-Men United brought the mutant world of the comics to vivid life, with effects that made the varied traits of the heroes pop on screen.
Punisher: War Zone has the distinction of being the last Punisher film released before the character's rights reverted to Marvel Studios. It's a shame that those rights didn't revert sooner: Lionsgate's release of the film was critically destroyed, with its $10 million gross not even coming close to covering production costs. The film sees Frank Castle still waging war against the criminals of NYC, which should be enough for even an average film about the character.
