Marvel Studios has a good batting average on movies, with the worst of the bunch tending to be bland rather than outright awful.
Still, it's uncontroversial to identify the 2013 sequel Thor: The Dark World as one of the least-popular MCU films out there... and its star, Chris Hemsworth, would agree with you.
"The first one is good, the second one is meh," he told GQ.

"Meh"? That's cold.
"What masculinity was, the classic archetype – it just all starts to feel very familiar," he added. "I was so aware that we were right on the edge."
Yeah, we're not sure exactly what he means... but we guess that he's talking about the portrayal of the God of thunder in the standard superhero mould in the first movies.
Hemsworth and director Taika Waititi developed a more subversive, comedic take on the character in The Dark World's acclaimed follow-up, Thor: Ragnarok.
The Dark World is remembered for its... uh... particularly unmemorable plot and villain (Christopher Eccleston's Malekith), as well as the extreme faux pas of getting the layout of the London underground wrong.
Hemsworth was last seen as Thor in Avengers: Infinity War, and as one of the movie's survivors will be back in Avengers 4 to try to pick up the pieces left in Thanos' wake.
