Post - The Marvels - Rank The MCU Films

The more I think about it, the more I find TWS to be the best MCU film so far. It really raised the bar.

Great movies (5/5):
1) Captain America: The Winter Soldier
2) The Avengers
3) Iron Man

Good movies (4/5):
1) The Incredible Hulk / Iron Man 3 (tied)

Alright/ok movies (3/5):
1) Thor: The Dark World
2) Captain America: The First Avenger
3) Iron Man 2
4) Thor

Bad movies (2/5 or less):
none so far
 
Top Tier:
Winter Soldier
Avengers

Middle Tier:
Iron Man
Thor
Iron Man 3

Lower Tier
The First Avenger
Thor: The Dark World
The Incredible Hulk

Bottom Tier
Iron Man 2

The last one is the only ineffective film.
 
  1. CA: TWS

The Rest of the Best:
Iron Man

Thor: The Dark World

The Rest:
Thor
Iron Man 2
The Incredible Hulk
 
Winter Soldier easily



Avengers


Thor


Rest are not good
 
1. The Avengers (10)
2. Thor: The Dark World (10)
3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (10)
4. Thor (9)
5. Iron Man 2 (9)
6. Captain America: The First Avenger (9)
7. Iron Man (9)
8. The Incredible Hulk (8)
9. Iron Man 3 (7)

I enjoyed them all to some extent, but the bolded are in another tier for me. I just love Thor 2, I'm so dissapointed it's not getting more love (too much Darcy/intern and the short run time were my only gripes, and the rest of the film more than makes up for it). Right now, The Dark World and The Avengers are the ones I re-watch the most. TWS will probably join those 2, but The Dark World and Avengers just do a great job of advancing and setting up the whole of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not just the Earth-based stuff. Marvel is on a roll, I can't wait for Guardians of the Galaxy!

So far my rankings have been as below. I should preface as saying that I haven't disliked any of the Marvel Universe films so far.

1. The Avengers (9.5)
2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (9.4)
3. Iron Man (9.2)
4. Thor (8.9)
5. Captain America: The First Avenger (8.8)
6. Thor: The Dark World (8.7)
7. The Incredible Hulk (8.3)
8. Iron Man 2 (8.0)
9. Iron Man 3 (8.0)
 
1. Avengers
2. Captain America: Winter Soldier
3. Thor
4. Incredible Hulk
5. Captain America: The first avenger
6. Thor: The dark World
7. Iron Man
8. Iron Man 3
9. Iron Man 2
 
1. The Winter Soldier (Beefier plot with intrigue, worthwhile characters, and actual hard hitting action.)



Iron Man (Fresh at the time until Marvel Studios ran the formula into the ground.)
The First Avenger (Light throwback flick.)
The Avengers (Big dumb CGI-fest with transformers action and an incredibly lame villain.)
Iron Man 2 (Stale.)
The Incredible Hulk (Never thought The Hulk is movie material and this did nothing to change that.)
Thor (same as above.)
Thor 2 (such an incredibly lazy and insipid movie.)
Iron Man 3 (Kid sidekick, fire breathing baddies, kung fu super soldier Pepper Potts, MacGyver Stark with Christmas Ornaments, an ill-defined main villain, an Air Force One Skydive formation, a PTS crutch that was forgot about halfway through, etc. Not to mention, the ending completely disregards the entire plot of the second movie. Need I say more?)

Hi

Newbie here.

Been collecting comics since 1974.

I must be the only one who actually liked Iron Man 2 - I actually thought it was better than Iron Man 1.

Here's my rankings and scores

1. The Winter Soldier (9/10)
2. Avengers (8.9/10)
3. Iron Man 2 (8/10)
4. Iron Man (7.9/10)
5. Iron Man 3 (7.5/10)
6. The First Avenger (7.4/10)
7. Thor (7.2/10)
8. The Dark World (7/10)
9. The Incredible Hulk (6.9/10)

So, as you can see I've really liked all the movies so far. Marvel has really NAILED it!!!

I also like the Toby Maguire Spidermans more than the current ones.

BUT, I am very indifferent to the Xmen movies - very indifferent.

I also like the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie - thought this was pretty under rated and I think he'll do a great job as Batman.
 
I enjoyed IM2 a lot when it was first released in theaters, it has some great moments, I really like the Monaco scene and the Drone flight-chase at the end. The third one topped it though, and after I watched part 2 a few more times, it has fallen a notch or two.
 
1.The Avengers
2.Captain America The Winter Soldier
3.Thor
4.Iron Man
5.Thor The Dark World
6.Iron Man 3
7.Captain America The First Avenger
8.Iron Man 2
9.The Incredible Hulk

I have Loved all the films so far. As a fan of the comics I have felt so grateful to be getting all these movies and tv shows set in the same universe. Can't wait for

1.Guardians of The Galaxy
2.Avengers Age of Ultron
3.Ant-man

I really think all 3 will be great additions to the marvel universe! And two are new properties! It's a good time to be a comic fan!


Almost forgot! Agents of shield is gonna be crazy tomorrow! Also the netflix shows can't get here soon enough! Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist! Geeking out hard right now. Just saw Cap 2 for the second time and it just gets better!
 
1. The Avengers
2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
3. Iron Man
4. Iron Man 3
5. Thor
6. Captain America: The First Avenger
7. Thor: The Dark World
8. The Incredibe Hulk
9. Iron Man 2

I'm actually a big fan of Iron Man 3 so it actually competes with the first a little bit but I put the original over for it's impact and it's longevity.

Cap 2 may very well be the most techinically impressive film here to me, action, acting, writing the whole deal so it may jump number one at some point, but the pure child-like love I have for the Avengers gets it the number one spot.
 
The more time pasts the more I like IM3 honestly. It's like fine wine to me. When I first saw it last year I came out of it with a weird taste, and didn't know exactly how I felt about it. After watching it a couple more times I've really come to appreciate it and like it more and more. It's got a lot of layers to it. Definitely underrated imo.
 
I've had the opposite experience. I quite liked IM 3 the first time that I saw it. But the more times that I watch it, the less and less that I like it. The problems, plot-holes, jarring tonal shifts, unexplained stuff, etc becomes more and more noticeable. Also, I've gone from not being sure how I feel about the twist, to actively disliking it the more and more that I think about it. I just don't think that it's a very well-thought out movie plot-wise either.
 
The Great:
1. Iron Man - 9.5/10 and still reigning champion for me in the entire sub-genre.
2. The Avengers - 9.25/10
3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier - 9/10
4. Captain America: The First Avenger - 9/10

The Very Good:
5. Iron Man 2 - 8.5/10

The Good:
6. Thor - 8/10
7. Thor: The Dark World 8/10
8. Iron Man 3 - 7.5/10
9. The Incredible Hulk - 7.5/10
