Interesting. I don't strongly disagree with your rankings, but, I tend to agree more with the averages you posted above.

I enjoyed Guardians, but, I don't think I could ever put them in the top 5. Plus, I think Antman was substantially worse than Age of Ultron.

I can't keep up with all of these. After seeing a few - I don't really care to.

To me, they're all the same: bad guy (gal)/good guy (gal) - some back story, some explosions, some wise cracks and funny references, a final battle that ends with the bad guy not getting what they want, the good guy saving the world but with a cliffhanger and hanging chads of plot.

Seen one, seen 'em all.

I still think Winter Soldier is the best movie of the bunch. May not be my favorite, but its the best overall movie.

My faves, in no particular order: Infinity War, Spider-man Homecoming, Guardians 1, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers, Civil War.

Least interesting: Iron Man 2 and 3, Thor Dark World, Incredible Hulk.

Have not seen Ant Man and the Wasp or Captain Marvel yet.

The Original Spiderman (Toby McGuire) was a good movie. After that, they went downhill.

I dont know about overall reviews. But my fav part of the MCU is Michael Pena's (in ant man) breakdowns of what is happening.

So, are we all in agreement that End Game needs to open with Pena recapping everything that happened in the first 21 movies?

I wouldn't expect anyone to rate GotG as high as I did. I am just following my "actions speak louder than words" rule and have realized that these are two movies that I watch over and over again because they are just so entertaining to me. I love the characters and I think the movies are funny.

I just found a lot of weaknesses in Ultron that bothered me. Weak script, bad CGI in a lot of parts, unconvincing love story between black widow and the hulk. However, I also recognize that people who are more into "epic" Marvel movies, this would probably rate much higher that Ant Man or Captain Marvel, both of which had a much more intimate, striped down, localized feel to them.

To each their own. Out of all of the movies, only Hulk and the 1st Thor I found almost not worth watching.

I just recently watched them according to this site : https://thetvtraveler.com/...movies-through-2019/

It suggests watching them in this order:

1. Captain America: The First Avenger – This movie essentially introduces the concept of superheroes and takes place decades before any other movie. Watch it first.
2. Iron Man
3. Iron Man 2
4. The Incredible Hulk (could skip)
5. Thor
6. The Avengers
7. Iron Man 3
8. Thor: The Dark World
9. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
10. Guardians of the Galaxy
11. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
12. Avengers: Age of Ultron
13. Ant-Man
14. Doctor Strange
15. Captain America: Civil War
16. Spider-Man: Homecoming
17. Thor: Ragnarok
18. Black Panther
19. Avengers: Infinity War
20. Ant-Man and the Wasp (could skip) – This movie takes place before Avengers: Infinity War, but you should watch it after because of the post-credits scene.
21. Captain Marvel

I am up to ant man and the wasp. Not sure how I would rank them other than I didnt like the Thor movies of the Incredible Hulk. The rest were good with Captain America Civil War being my fav out of all of them.

It's hard for me to compare GotG to Captain America. The former is almost an action comedy while the latter is a full-blown action movie. But, then you have Thor trying to decide what it wants to be. The first one was so buttoned up while the last one inserted a great deal of comedy. I just couldn't take Antman seriously. Seemed like something that should or could have been made by Netflix. Certainly not "epic" like the others.

I agree with your comment regarding Ultron. Definitely my least favorite. Although the scene where Captain American nearly lifts Thor's hammer is a great scene.

Ultron succeeded in having some of the best jokes. ;)

Another point.

I'm actually noticing that some movies hold up better for a second viewing than others. Avengers and Avengers Infinity war are two examples that didn't hold up as well. Plot lines for both of them were on the more average side compared to other MCU movies, but watching them for the first time on the big screen gave me a huge bon....uh, I mean, a huge adrenaline rush.

Good list, I raise "Thor Ragnorak" and "Infinity War" up near top 5. I rate GofG-2 a bit lower, "Ultron" a little higher (not bottom 5). My bottom 5 (worst-first) are IronMan2, Thor2, Hulk, AntMan1, CaptainAmerica1.

That's a good point. I have watched Captain America and Winter Soldier a couple times and enjoyed it. Not so much with others.

I liked Ant-Man, and the kids thought it was hilarious. I just like Paul Rudd though, so I may be biased.

Same here.

I think Ant-Man and the sequel were fine movies, just targeted at a more family friendly audience. Yeah, they're a little formulaic. They're comic book movies. Get over it. They're not intended to be Oscar winning dramas (despite the mistaken attempts to get an Oscar for Black Panther by pandering to the social justice movement).

Overall, I'd probably list Civil War, Winter Soldier, Iron Man, Ragnarok, and maybe Avengers as the top five, in no particular order, and based mostly on potential for re-watching.

Impressive that Iron Man still stands up as one of the best.
