[parkerpete]

Nice to see Iron Man 3 on so many lists. It gets a foul rap from the fanboy community, but it's really pretty well-made, memorable, enjoyable and subversive in so many great ways.

The funny thing is that the worst part of that movie for me is the huge explosive climax with all the suits-- it should be the most fan-favorite part but it goes on way too long and is just so much noise.

 

[Batmannerism]

I often change my views, but here goes:

1. Guardians of the Galaxy, a film that I could watch over and over and never get tired of.

2. Civil War, only comes second to Guardians because Guardians is funnier and has the best soundtrack of any cbm.

3. Iron Man, created the formula on which all MCU origin films were based. A truly great cbm. And ACDC !

4. Guardians of the Galaxy 2, unlike many I loved this film and laugh out loud every time I see it. "Mantis, look out !" ha ha ha, see I'm laughing now. And Kurt Russell, it's awesome.

5. Captain America TWS, amazing action, a strong story - it comes after CW, because CW manages to fit in more characters successfully. This movie made me start changing my mind about Cap, who previously I thought was Marvel's most boring character.


6. Black Panther - people will hate me for this, but as much as I liked it while I was watching it, it didn't really stay with me that long, really good movie though !
I liked the characterisation of T'Challa as a guy who forgives, and who tries to make the world better. Lots of familiar story points, but done in a fresh way - I believe it earns its hype, but personally I still prefer the above movies.


7. Thor: Ragnarok, hilarious and great action. A great fun film, and Thor v Hulk ? gotta love this one - and of course Led Zeppelin are my favorite band.


8. Homecoming, my fave Spidey film so far. Even though he was a major screw up I felt like they really captured the essential essence of Peter Parker as an awkward teen crime fighter.

9. Doctor Strange, yeah, it's Iron Man but with magic, but great fun and amazing visuals. Plus Tilda Swinton killed it as the ancient one, and Cumberbatch was note perfect as the lead.

10. Avengers Age of Ultron, I prefer this to the first one. Ultron was a bit of a letdown, and it was a bit long, but otherwise I enjoyed it a lot.


11. Avengers, great fun, for the first hour the heroes do a lot of standing around, but when it picks up speed it's great.



12. Thor TDW: unlike many I really enjoyed this movie. Hemsworth and Hiddleston and Hopkins were great. Eccleston and Portman were a bit disappointing, and no film is ever made better by more Kat Dennings - but the Dark Elves were sufficiently creepy and interesting.


13. Thor, formulaic, but a strong cast - and Hemsworth was born to play this role....just not any others. Some good homage to the comics.


14. Ant Man, another MCU formula origin story, but with a few neat twists on the tale.

And the rest are pretty much all the same to me.

Had a re-think, and a reshuffle is necessary:

Ragnarok moves up to 6

Doctor Strange moves up to 7

Homecoming moves down to 9

Black Panther moves down to 8

Only saw BP once, and the more I thought about it, while it was a really good film, it didn't have the same interest level for me. Having said that, I still believe it has earned its success and my hat is off to Ryan Coogler for such an enjoyable film.

On the other hand, Ragnarok and Dr Strange I saw a couple of times and they really captured my interest - particularly Ragnarok.

Homecoming....well, I really enjoyed it, but I'm in no hurry to see it again.

I'm sure these views will change again - after Infinity War.

 

[LTuser]

So far i've not had a real ranking of the MCU films, other than who i put as best baddie..

BUT to give it a shot;

1) the first iron man
2) Cap civil war
3) Avengers 1
4) IM2
5) Dr Strange
6) Winter soldier
7) Thor 1
8) GotG 1

10) Avengers 2
11) BP
12) Homecoming
13) Thor 2
14) IM3
15) Inc Hulk
16) GotG 2.

Now this is tentative for now...

[Batmannerism]

As I said before, I often change my views:

1. Guardians of the Galaxy: its not as epic as Infinity War, but it's a film I never get tired of. I love the characters - who are both alien, but very human and relatable at the same time, they're all a little bit broken and just trying to make their way in the universe.

2.. Infinity War: it takes the MCU to a new, epic level. Can't wait to see it again. My only gripe is that some of my fave characters get very little screen time - but that's nothing compared to the terffic charaterisation of Thanos, it's really his film. Also Dr Strange gets a key role and the Guardians of the Galaxy appear ( and they're my favorite mcu group).

3. Civil War, only comes behind Guardians because Guardians is funnier and has the best soundtrack of any cbm. It beautifully balances epic action with solid character development and introduced to Black Panther and Spider-Man. RDJ's best performance since the first Iron Man film.

4. Iron Man, created the formula on which all MCU origin films were based. A truly great cbm. And ACDC !

5. Guardians of the Galaxy 2, unlike many I loved this film and laugh out loud every time I see it. "Mantis, look out !" ha ha ha, see I'm laughing now. And Kurt Russell, it's awesome.

6. Captain America TWS, amazing action, a strong story - it comes after CW, because CW manages to fit in more characters successfully. This movie made me start changing my mind about Cap, who previously I thought was Marvel's most boring character.


7. Thor: Ragnarok, hilarious and great action. A great fun film, and Thor v Hulk ? gotta love this one - and of course Led Zeppelin are my favorite band.

8. Doctor Strange, yeah, it's Iron Man but with magic, but great fun and amazing visuals. Plus Tilda Swinton killed it as the ancient one, and Cumberbatch was note perfect as the lead.


9. Black Panther - people will hate me for this, but as much as I liked it while I was watching it, it didn't really stay with me that long, really good movie though !
I liked the characterisation of T'Challa as a guy who forgives, and who tries to make the world better. Lots of familiar story points, but done in a fresh way - I believe it earns its hype, but personally I still prefer the above movies.



10. Homecoming, my fave Spidey film so far. Even though he was a major screw up I felt like they really captured the essential essence of Peter Parker as an awkward teen crime fighter.


11. Avengers Age of Ultron, I prefer this to the first one. Ultron was a bit of a letdown, and it was a bit long, but otherwise I enjoyed it a lot.

The Best:
1. Captain America: Civil War
2. The Avengers
3. Avengers: Infinity War
4. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
5. Iron Man
6. Thor: Ragnarok
7. Black Panther
8. Iron Man 3

The Pretty Good:
9. Spider-Man: Homecoming
10. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
11. Avengers: Age of Ultron
12. Captain America: The First Avenger
13. Guardians of the Galaxy

The Mildly Decent:
14. Ant-Man
15. Doctor Strange
16. Thor

The Worst:
17. Iron Man 2
18. Thor: The Dark World
19. The Incredible Hulk

For the record, the only reason Infinity War is not at the top of this list is because it still feels like a "Part 1," while the other two above it feel more complete. After A4 comes out, that and Infinity War might well take the top spot together, because I was more impressed by this one than any other MCU flick. But first they have to stick the landing with what they set up in IW.

[Iceman]

I need to go find my list but suffice to say, Infinity War comes straight in at no.1. Absolutely no question.

 

[jaqua99]

IW is the only one worth noting.

I have hopped off the Marvel bandwagon and dropped my bias, and became very vocal about parts of these movies I didn't like. I started being more critical of them, and my hype for the MCU has died.

After IW, the hype still isnt what it was 5 years ago..life happens, but wow this movie was near flawless for my taste.

 

[StormC]

Top Tier
1. Captain America: Civil War
2. Iron Man
3. Avengers: Infinity War
4. Spider-Man: Homecoming
5. Captain America: The Winter Soldier

High Tier
6. The Avengers
7. Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2
8. Guardians Of The Galaxy
9. Black Panther
10. Thor: Ragnarok

Mid Tier
11. Iron Man 3
12. Captain America: The First Avenger
13. Ant-Man
14. Thor

Low Tier
15. Avengers: Age Of Ultron
16. Doctor Strange
17. Iron Man 2
18. The Incredible Hulk
19. Thor: The Dark World

MCU hasn't put out anything worth a "bottom tier" grade yet.

Infinity War might be able to climb higher but I really need more watches and time to let it cook. I don't see it falling from the top 3 though. It did confirm to me that Avengers, while great, has several elements that keep me from ranking it among the top tier. It basically came down to Avengers vs. Winter Soldier, and my gut tells me the latter wins out, especially now with Civil War and Infinity War offering more in their teamup movies, so the novelty of being "the" teamup movie is now lost for Avengers.

[MessiahDecoy123]

I notice only two people so far have both IW and BP in their top 5.

Most people like only one or the other. And a few like neither.
