I haven't seen a Marvel movie since the third Maguire Spiderman installment. Is that wrong? [View all]

And it's not necessarily against Spiderman 3 in particular, just a sense of ennui with the genre in general.

So far, I've missed all the Ironman movies, the Avengers series, two different Hulk movies, Captain America, Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy, and a completely different Spiderman series.

I have seen The Dark Knight (which is DC) due to all the hype, found it rather overrated, and didn't bother with The Dark Knight Rises.

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy an exciting, action packed movie. And I have nothing against Marvel or comic book adaptations in general. But there's something about it that just makes me say "Meh" while apparently everyone else and their mother is rushing out to see these movies.

Am I missing anything good by my indifference?
