How did the critics find those movies at the time?

Batman's about as "Assembly Line" as a Superhero film can get. The last time anything really gutsy was done with him was the "Brave and the Bold" animated series 13 years ago.
Cherry-picking. You ignore the very real differences and focus exclusively on the similarities so you can justify your desired conclusion. You can "prove" any kind of nonsense that way, and that makes it utterly unworthy of taking seriously as an argument.
Honestly, all of the stuff people complain about with the Marvel movies, is pretty much standard for any big budget, PG-13 level action movie these days. So it's not really Marvel's fault, it's just how those kind of movies in general are these days.
Far From Home has a 69, with 39 positive, and 16 mixed.
That's why I prefer Metacritic's number scores and positive, mixed negative, breakdown and when I go Rotten Tomatoes, I've never even heard of the sources for the vast majority of their reviews, while I've heard of most of the ones that Metacritic uses. In case anyone is wondering The Batman has an 80, with 46 positive, 9 mixed, and 2 negative reviews.

I started noticing that around Phase 3 and that was when I started to lose interest. So many of them had an assembly line feel with silly humor and forgetable villains. Very few of them I care to see again. It's a shame because I really enjoyed Phase 1 and most of Phase 2 before it devolved into mindless action fare.
Phase 4 seems to be putting things back on track. The last Spiderman movie was really good, WandaVision, Loki and Falcon and the Winter Soldier were excellent miniseries and even though Eternals and Shan Chi aren't movies I care to see, I can at least respect them for doing something out of their comfort box for a change. And I'm definitely looking forward to Doctor Strange 2.
I've heard plenty of people say about The Eternals that Chloe Zhao gave it a look unlike any previous MCU movie, because she shot so heavily on location instead of relying on greenscreen and CGI environments. And I don't see a lot of common ground between the real-world political-thriller look of something like The Winter Soldier or Black Widow and the cartoony fantasy of Thor: Ragnarok or the Guardians movies.
And here come the audience scores. Starting off with a 94 percent.
Agreed. After watching Thor Ragnarok, I was all "Didn't I just see this with Black Panther??"
Sarcastic?
I can see Black Panther and Shang-Chi similarities, or Doctor Strange and Iron Man, but Thor and Black Panther? How?
Very sarcastic, pointing out the absurdity of the original comment.
Yeah, Black Panther, if I had been able to sit thru that snooze fest, should have made me forget all about Avengers 2, Civil War, Thor: The Dark World etc.
I have to wonder how many of them just gave 10/10 and haven't seen the movie yet...
Some need--have an actual need for mob support of a film (or series), or they seem to crack at their foundations. It is not news or a secret that many MCU films rinse and repeat arcs, but some cannot move beyond trappings and believe each to be unique. The basic arcs of Thor and Black Panther are the same, all having the titular character lose an assumed or desired standing/position, said position challenged by a cutthroat insider and/or relative and/or pretender, and the hero having to prove himself worthy (literally in one case), while defeating the aforementioned cutthroat insider and/or relative and/or pretender. Rinse and repeat, and in the case of Doctor Strange it also copy+pasted from Batman Begins in a number of ways. Captain Marvel almost fell into this trap, saved by CM's struggles with a largely erased history plot.
To this day, the only truly original MCU film remains Captain America: The Winter Soldier with its predecessor a close second, and after that, the strongest entries were found on the Netflix series and recently, The Falcon/Captain America and The Winter Soldier on Disney+. There one was not saddled with the copy+pasting of plots and arcs seen/used so many times that you already knew how the story would end 25 minutes into it.
Generally true.
Agreed.
So is "Internal Affairs" and "The Departed", but no one complained.
Infernal, not Internal, Affairs.
Whoops!
Lots of quiet voice whispering going on in this film. Everyone almost all the time. Anyone irritated by Burnham's use of the same better bring your patience pills along to the theater. lol
