This is what I’dput down, with the caveat that I think it was actually a very successful movie the vast bulk fo the fanbase really liked...
... But the divisiveness and storytelling decisions of The Last Jedi and The Rise Of Skywalker kind of retroactively damaged the main appeals of The Force Awakens, particularly where TLJ tried to handicap and dismiss some of TFA’s strengths.
Like, flat out, Finn’s story in TFA is a hell of a lot better than most character arcs in the rest of the Saga... but TLJ was scared of him, and screwed him over to try and replace with Kylo. And there was no mistaking Rey for a fan girl of Neo-Nazi School Shooters in TFA.
I honestly feel the ST might be best grouped as separate films in evaluation, instead of together.
On a separate note...
Thor: The Dark World.
Even before Endgame “justified” it, it still struck me as an improvement over the first film, and it did a hell of a lot to make Loki shift into more of a morally ambiguous protagonist after The Avengers.
Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP
I feel the need to mention the usual Battlefield Earth and Ishtar. Kidding.
Return of the Living Dead Part 2 and Alien 3 are the ones that come to mind for me.
Are Steven Seagal's films "Universally Disliked..."?
Howard The Duck but I hear the media say its awful more than people. There seems to be more fans of that film than you'd think. I used to rent it on VHS quite a bit and I'm wondering if people even knew the original source material. I admit the scene with "Ducky" and Leah Thomson's character was a bit hard to take in, me included, but once I got over the shock of that one scene... I still kept watching.... so.

I think that the Thor films were all pretty good, with 1>2>3
Of the ones mentioned above, I quite enjoy
-Amazing Spider-Man 2
-Iron Man 3
-Daredevil
as guilty pleasures Judge Dredd and Highlander 2
also, I'm gonna throw in Sucker Punch
I think Force Awakens had a good reception at the time it came out though of course people were split on it... but the general consensus was positive? and there was hope that this was gonna be a good trilogy
It was Last Jedi that drew a lot more criticism... and I enjoyed Last Jedi a whole lot
(I still haven't gotten around to seeing Rise of Skywalker XD)
Take my dreams, childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyze, please just be there for me
