Captain America’s 1990 Movie Is Still The Lowest Rated Marvel Movie

The nineties were largely dominated by DC ’s Batman movies , which would break boxwood office criminal record despite being critically mediocre . unluckily for Marvel , its handful of press release were not so popular , withCaptain AmericaandGeneration Xbeing two straight - to - video examples of Marvel ’s pre - MCU teething problem . 1994’sThe Fantastic Four , meanwhile , was never officially put out and was ostensibly created so that Executive Producer Bernd Eichinger could keep the movie right for Marvel ’s First Family .

Yet none of these releases were quite sopoorly rated asCaptain America , which sits at a paltry 12 % onRotten Tomatoes . The movie tells a conversant write up , with Steve Rogers ’ genesis as Captain America following a similar structure to 2011 ’s Captain America . Creative liberties were taken with Red Skull , whose mug is unquestionably less skull - like and who link up with a criminal offense kin . While the movie gain a so - bad - it’s - good craze following , the consensus is thatCaptain Americawas a meridian object lesson of how a superhero movie should n’t be done .

Why Captain America 1990 Is So Bad

The ill - plump out early attempt at a Captain America picture show was lambasted for multiple sins , which were summed up by eFilmcritic.com ’s Scott Weinberg ’s quote :

" This is what superhero flicks face like before someone get a clue . "

Several critics accept object at lead star Matt Salinger ’s performance , which was not avail by the subpar hand , which was pick apart for being to a fault cheesy and wet . A small budget also did n’t help the last product , which Rob Gonsalves of Rob ’s Movie Vault call :

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man upset and determined in No Way Home

" One of the silent movies of all time . "

Director Albert Pyun also did not number out unharmed , with Variety ’s Lawrence Cohn describing his focussing as " plodding . "

Meanwhile , audience - whose consensus account come out at a less brutal 19 % - for the most part contingent being shock at the mirthful book inaccuracies , including the fact that Captain America steals a machine in the movie . Yet similarly toMadame World Wide Web , which currently has the same critics ' consensus grudge of 12 % on Rotten Tomatoes ( but a much higher interview consensus score of 59 % ) , there is a significant portion of the audience that appreciates its pitiable quality for the unintentional hilarity . Regardless , tickingCaptain Americaoff of the watchlist make appreciating theMCU ’s interpretation of the character a lot easier .
