Post - The Marvels - Rank The MCU Films

[Mr. Dent]

Thought it was a good time to do this again after what is arguably one of Marvel's top 3 efforts has been released (for those of us who have seen it). mine:

1. The Avengers
2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (it's a virtual tie between them though honestly, Avengers gets it by literally a millimeter for me)
3. Iron Man
4. Captain America: The First Avenger
5. Iron Man 3
6. Thor
7. Thor: The Dark World
8. The Incredible Hulk
9. Iron Man 2

 

[First Avenger]

We could give a score for each movie too.

- Avengers
- Cap 2
- IM3
- IM
- Thor
- Hulk
- Thor2
- Cap
- IM2

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

IM3 (9.6/10)
Avengers (9.5/10)
CATWS (9.2/10)*
IM (9.0/10)
Thor (8.3/10)
TTDW (8.0/10)
CATFA (7.9/10)
TIH (7.0/10)
IM2 (6.8/10)

*I'll rewatch CATWS in 2 days, my opinion might change afterwards

The Winter Soldier is certainly in the top tier of Marvel movies, alongside the first Iron Man film and The Avengers.

If you haven't seen it yet, you will love it.

 

[Mr. Dent]

The Avengers: 9.5/10
Captain America: The Winter Soldier: 9/10
Iron Man: 9/10
Captain America: The First Avenger: 7.5/10
Iron Man 3: 7.5/10
Thor: 7/10
Thor: The Dark World: 6.5/10
The Incredible Hulk: 6.5/10
Iron Man 2: 6/10

As a pure film I think that Iron Man 3 is more balanced and a better piece of work than TFA, but the first act of TFA was just so good and felt so relatable and hit my sensibilities enough that I have to give it the nod over IM3 for sentimental reasons. If people were to ask me which is the best film though without personal feelings involved, I'd say IM3. Likewise, I think TWS is a better film than Avengers, but just the big spectacle of all the heroes coming together and all those great fanservice moments can't be beat.

 

[First Avenger]

Avengers 9/10
TWS 9/10
Iron Man 8.5/10
TDW 8/10
IM3 8/10
Thor 8/10
TFA 7.5/10
TIH 7.5/10
IM2 7/10

 

[M-2]

Captain America TWS - 10
Avengers - 9
Iron Man - 9

Thor the Dark World - 7
Captain America TFA - 7
IM3 - 7
TIH - 7
Thor - 7
IM2 - 7

Personally for me, Avengers, Iron Man and The Winter Soldier are the real exceptional films for Marvel...
Everything else is good but not quite great for various reasons.

FIRST POST, might even be a bit controversial

1. The Avengers (9.5)
- the best, got everything just right

2. Iron Man (9.0)
- MCU is owed to this one. Great movie

3. Thor (8.5)
- Was always a tough proposition, but a flawless cast made this one of the better ones. Credit to MJS too.

4. Thor: The Dark World (8.5)
- Up the the standard of it's predecessor, and Hiddlestones Loki was superb.

5. The Incredible Hulk (8.0)
- A good effort to save The Hulk from movie extinction. I enjoyed it throughout, was never bored and Norton is still my No.1 BB. Ruffolo was great in Avengers, but still feel it would have been better had Norton returned.

6. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (8.0)
- Great movie, beautiful visuals, but there were a few moments which annoyed me which I don't want to say too much about in case of spoilers, but I would have scored this higher if it wasn't for at least 3/4 serious gripes.

7. Iron Man 2 (7.5)
- Bit naff at times, but it grew on me after repeated watches.

8. Captain America: The First Avenger (7.5)
- On the positive side, I really enjoyed this one. I just feel it was let down by the fact that Marvel wanted to rush through the Cap back story in time for Avengers. We never really got to see the Cap/Skull feud develop into the rivalry it deserved to be. Needed two movies to get everything right, but sadly that was not to be, because Avengers was coming up and the Cap was needed.

9. Iron Man 3 (4.0)
- EASILY the weakest outing to date IMV. I think it fell down due to Shane Black not really understanding what Marvel fans wanted. Oh, how the trailer promised so much, teasing us with the Mandarin, only for THAT plot twist. Oh, and the finale? Bah - we need an Iron Man 4 to fix this mess.

[fixxxer]

CA:TWS was near perfect, which I wouldn't even be able to say about The Avengers. I still give the (slight) edge to latter... only because it was a more "joyous" experience. Still, cannot sing CA:TWS' praises loudly enough.

I'm still reworking my number rankings. But that's definitely where they're sitting right now. Overall, Phase 2 is pretty satisfying so far.

1. The Winter Soldier. Iron Man 3
2. Avengers
3. Iron Man. Captain America The First Avenger
4. Thor. The Incredible Hulk
5. Thor The Dark World.
6. Iron Man 2

 

[blalex620]

I've given Cap 2 the lead over The Avengers in the ranking now because it's damn near up there with TDK in terms of just epicness. I've never wanted to watch a film over again as quickly as I did Cap. I left the theatre and was tempted to rewatch it again for the midnight premiere (saw the double feature).

1. Iron Man
First MCU film I watched. Instantly sold me on the idea and responsible for me getting into comics. LOVE IT.
2. The Avengers
3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
4. Iron Man 3
I liked the Trevor. Lovely film.
5. Iron Man 2
6. Captain America: The First Avenger
After rewatching it this got a lot better for me.
7. Thor: The Dark World
Malekith was dull, comedy was over the top at points, and it should have adressed the major death of the film better.
8. Thor
Okay for an introduction.
9. The Incredible Hulk
Meh.
