Unpopular, but I don’t regret watching it. Marvel had some absolute bangers right before that, so the bar was pretty high, but it was an enjoyable, pointless, narratively-aimless movie for me.
take any studio’s output in that volume and you’re bound to have some really great stuff, and some absolute stinkers. everyone talks about how marvel’s fallen off, my friend in odin, have you seen thor 2? lol, it’s not a recent drop in quality… it’s a studio cranking out as many films as they can, there’s gonna be variation in the output.
A few of the early ones were good. It was a bit of a thing back then when a superhero movie took itself seriously. Of course, very quickly the studio realised they could just take the hardcore fans for granted and then they just became paint by numbers fan service.

The most embarrassing thing about the decline of the Marvelverse is the fans pretending it was ever anything better.
They’re dumb, quippy action movies with loads of CGI, and they never pretended to be anything else.
It’s okay to be bored of that…
