I think TIH has some strengths over other phase 1 films. Both Iron Man 1 and 2 and Thor feel very limited. Not a lot of locations and mainly take place in like 5 rooms. Also not a lot of wide shots, lackluster fights, etc. TIH is much more dynamically shot and actually has what I would call a real superhero fight. I don't think it is the best movie of the phase, but it has its fine points.

I just rewatched The Incredible Hulk last night. I thought it was better than I remembered. The first act is actually pretty thrilling. It moves on at a nice clip and the score really sells that thriller vibe its going for.

 

[Drizzle]

Also noticed most of the Phase 2 films are middle of the road.

You could say that about Phase 1 as well more or less, save for Iron Man and The Avengers. But I still remember how great 2014 was for the MCU with the one-two punch of The Winter Soldier (still regarded by many as the best MCU film 5 years later) and Guardians of the Galaxy. Certainly the best of Phase 2.

 

[MadVillainy]

I think those three are clearly the weakest entries in the MCU. I wonder if we would look at Hulk differently if it were Ruffalo in the role originally though

I don't think so.
I think Whedon was able to do one thing no director and a lot of comic book writers did. They gave Bruce a personality. I don't think even with Ruffalo that Lo

Very much agree. I still really really like the University action scene. It still is up there for me, probably even 2nd behind TWS highway fight.

Shot well, good escalating action.
uis Lettier would've done that.

 

[Appfanincaaland]

Near perfect for the genre
1 Infinity War
2 Iron Man
3 CA: The Winter Soldier

Great
4 Guardians of the Galaxy
5 The Avengers

Very Good
6 Spiderman: Homecoming
7 CA: The First Avenger (not a typo, criminally underrated imo)
8 Thor (see above)
9 CA: Civil War

Good with some great moments but also small problems
10 Ant-Man
11 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2
12 Thor: Ragnarok
13 Iron Man 3

Ok with good moments but also bigger problems
14 Age of Ultron
15 Ant-Man and the Wasp
16 Doctor Strange
17 Iron Man 2
18 Black Panther
19 Thor: The Dark World

Forgettable
20 Captain Marvel
21 Incredible Hulk

 

[NHawk19]

A+
1. Winter Soldier

5. Ragnarok

6. The First Avenger
7. Civil War
8. Iron Man
9. Guardians Vol. 2
10. Black Panther

A-

B
16. Spider-Man: HC
17. Age of Ultron

B-
18. Incredible Hulk
19. Iron Man 2
20. The Dark World
21. Iron Man III

All are still really re-watchable and I'd say none of them is a total train wreck. With the exception of IM 3 which seems to have had the least impact on the MCU, even the lower tier films are made better by what's around them.

[Iron_Stark]

I have to dig up my rankings, but good grief, I just got back from seeing Captain Marvel, and while I wouldn't say it's bad, it's a very weak movie. I'd rank it just a little higher than the two Ant -Man movies.

definitely one of the weakest movies of the MCU. In between the Ant-Man movies and Black Panther.

 

[Zorro]

I think I'm only the only one who find the Guardian films among the weak ones and towards the bottom of my list. I understand why people are into them and they aren't particularly bad films but I just never cared for the Guardians of the Galaxy much in the comics or other media. Plus, the humor is way too much for me(especially Vol 2)

I like the first one, but it's not among my favorites. I think the second one is the worst MCU movie since Phase 1
