9 Worst Billion Dollar Movies

9. Avengers: Age Of Ultron

Ranking: #8

Worldwide Earnings: $1,405,403,694

First things first: Avengers Age of Ultron isn't a terrible movie but given the generally high standards of the billion-dollar club, it's certainly one of the club's worst members.

Age of Ultron is an insultingly safe, wildly over-stuffed and generally personality-free blockbuster that does little more than serve up one overdone set piece after another without giving its characters meaningful things to do or raising any stakes in the narrative. Worst of all, it's an entirely inconsequential movie that added nothing to the ongoing narrative of the MCU. Out of the franchise ranking, it's the 4th worst; only Thor, Iron Man 2 and Thor: The Dark World are below it.

This was a 2015 movie, a year which added five billion dollar movies (this, The Force Awakens, Jurassic World, Furious 7 and Minions) to the club, which is more than any other year.

Age of Ultron summarizes 2015 well; it was the year of over-hyped blockbusters that largely disappointed, with this, Spectre and Jurassic World embarrassingly being out-done by Furious 7 and Mission Impossible 5. Even in a year full of let-downs, Age of Ultron was arguably the most disappointing film of that year.
