10 Worst Fox Marvel Movies

7. Daredevil

Let's get something out of the way: The director's cut of Mark Steven Johnson's Daredevil is a much better film than the theatrical version unleashed upon the world, and if you're someone who at least enjoyed the original version of the film, you do owe it to yourself to at least check it out, even if it doesn't suddenly turn a subpar film into a phenomenal one.

And subpar really is what the theatrical version of Daredevil is. At the time of its release, the film was only following X-Men, Blade II, and Spider-Man as the Marvel boom started to really take off, and didn't really do any favors to the superhero genre, failing miserably where those films succeeded. Even Ben Affleck himself hates the film, though he's far from the worst thing about it.

It suffers severe tonal whiplash, for example, oscillating between dark moments of violence and an unhealthy heaping of over-the-top camp present in scenes like the playground "fight" or the mere existence of Colin Farrell's scenery-chewing Bullseye. Even creative decisions like loading the film up with early 2000s rock music has dated it painfully, the film standing as a relic of a time when the genre was still finding its footing, whose only upside is that its failure ultimately paved the way for the far superior television series on Netflix.
