High on Ecstasy mentioned in another thread that he though the fight scenes in Captain Marvel were some of the worst in an MCU movie. I disagree, but then that got me thinking: Which MCU movie does have the worst action scenes?
This shouldn't be dependent on how well you liked the movie or the overall quality of the movie. Just focus on the fight scenes.
For example, I liked GOTG a lot but I have to admit it had some of the weakest fight scenes in an MCU movie. In comparison, both Antman and TIH rank pretty low in my list of favorite MCU movies but I think they had some pretty good fight scenes.
So, what do you think?

Iron Man 2 and the first two Thor movies come to mind. In the former's defense, I suppose, it does still have that sweet bit at the race track.

Guardians of the Galaxy don't seem to have action scenes.
I totally disagree with you on Ant-Man action scenes, they're very creative.

MCU movies never really stand up as proper action films, even in Civil War the camera seems to start wobbling as soon as the fights start for some reason.

Captain Marvel for me, the blocking was far too simplified that anybody could've acted it and shot it on camera and edit in less than a few minutes. That, and too much contrast in the lighting - made things a bit hard to see.
I figure DC-Fan will like almost every post here as its criticizing the MCU.

Civil War shaky cam , not well done Civil War had the airport fight and the 3-way showdown at the end. Those are some of the best action scenes in any cbm.

Like most mcu movies I forgot most of Civil War by the next day. They really are the cinematic equivalent of cotton candy. However, that airport fight is one of the highlights of their entire universe.

The original Captain America? I can't remember much of its action scenes except for the final fight at the end between him and Red Skull which wasn't really up to much because he hadn't learned martial arts at that point so they mostly just flailed around.

Yeah, nothing about CATFA really stood out for me in terms of action scenes. His fight with Red Skull was very messy.

A lot of the action in Age of Ultron was very Nolan-y and that's never a good thing imo.

I'm sure you have a point you think is important or scathing but I have no idea what it may be. Are you suggesting that because many mcu movies are forgettable I should never return to this site? That's odd.

The Incredible Hulk probably but it's been a long while since I last saw it (started my MCU movie marathon with Iron Man two nights ago to prepare for Endgame). I'll also probably include Thor 1 and one action scene before the car chase in Civil War (after Bucky jumps out of the apartment), even if Black Panther was pretty badass there.

Probably Captain Marvel and Hulk. The Winter Soldier is the best.
