    20 films. Almost 11 years. 1 awesome franchise. If you like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the how do you rank the films (from least favorite to most favorite)?

    This is my list:
    20. Thor: The Dark World
    19. Thor
    18. Black Panther
    17. The Incredible Hulk
    16. Iron Man 2
    15. Captain American: The First Avenger
    14. Iron Man
    13. Doctor Strange
    12. Iron Man 3
    11. Spider-Man: Homecoming
    10. Avengers: Age of Ultron
    09. Guardian of the Galaxy 2
    08. Ant-Man
    07. Ant-Man and the Wasp
    06. Avengers
    05. Captain America: The Winter Solider
    04. Captain America: Civil War
    03. Thor: Ragnarok
    02. Guardians of the Galaxy
    01. Avengers: Infinity War
    (For the record I don't actually dislike any MCU movies that why this list is least favorite to favorite rather than most disliked to most favorite).

    That's my list, what about you guys?

    20) Thor: The Dark World
    19) Iron Man 3
    18) Iron Man 2
    17) The Incredible Hulk
    16) Black Panther
    15) Thor
    14) Ant-Man and the Wasp
    13) Captain America: The First Avenger
    12) Ant-Man
    11) Doctor Strange
    10) Spider-Man: Homecoming
    09) Iron-Man
    08) Avengers: Age of Ultron
    07) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
    06) Captain America: Civil War
    05) Guardians of the Galaxy
    04) Captain America: The Winter Soldier
    03) Thor: Ragnarok
    02) Marvel’s The Avengers
    01) Avengers: Infinity War

    Ant-Man and the Wasp is the only MCU film I've only seen once, so on a repeat viewing my list might change slightly. The more time that's passed since Black Panther released the lower it's gotten on the list, though I don't think it will sink any further. Numbers 1-5 are the ones I think are great, 6-15 are good, 16-18 are mediocre, and 19-20 are just bad.

    Eh, why not. I didn't really enjoy/remember too much of numbers 20-15 so have decided not to rank them in any order. Here goes nothing:

    20-15) Thor
    20-15) Thor: The Dark World
    20-15) Ant-Man
    20-15) Iron Man 2
    20-15) Iron Man 3
    20-15) The Incredible Hulk
    14) Ant-Man and the Wasp
    13) Captain America: The First Avenger
    12) Captain America: The Winter Soldier
    11) Doctor Strange
    10) Iron Man
    9) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2
    8) Spider-Man: Homecoming
    7) Black Panther
    6) Captain America: Civil War
    5) Avengers: Age of Ultron
    4) Avengers: Infinity War
    3) Guardians of the Galaxy
    2) The Avengers
    1) Thor: Ragnarok

    Ragnarok is easily the best of them all, in my opinion. After that it seems I thoroughly liked the movies where the "team" comes together more than their individual movies, but the individual movies I did like most are the more recent ones (though that might just be because I remember more of them). I don't get why others rank Ant-Man so highly; I thought it was easily one of the worst of the franchise. :p

    Conversely I think Black Panther is one of the worst in the franchise :p ;)

    (well, mediocre and overrated as I said, but for me that's still makes it one of the worst MCU films!)

    Although exact placements vary slightly, you and I seem to have similar feelings about the films of this franchise.

    I've only seen about sixty percent of them, so I won't list them. But why the hate for Thor: The Dark World? I watched that not that long ago and I thought it was good. Are my perceptions of Marvel movies that out of sync with other movie goers? No, no it is the others who are wrong.

    I personally don't dislike the movie but I still feel it is the worst in this cinematic universe. It is like the discount version of an MCU movie.

    I'm just watching Cinema Sins of this movie. Somehow I had forgotten all the illogical and stupid stuff in it...

    I might have to watch the movie again and see what I think of it (again).

    I know it's one of @Brum's favorites so I'm sure he'll arrive soon to defend it.

    It's been years since I've seen it so I don't remember specifically why I dislike it so much, but I just remember thinking it was a mess both times I watched it.

    It was actually my first MCU movie and was the reason I started giving superhero movies a try

    Damn right, :p it's not one of my favourites per se but it's top 10 material. It was better than either Iron Man sequel, and miles better than the first Thor movie as well. I think it suffered from some flaws in logic, especially in regards to Heimdal but it's a decent film on its own merit n my opinion.

    20. Iron Man 3
    19. Incredible Hulk
    18. Thor
    17. Black Panther
    16. Winter Soldier
    15. Iron Man 2
    14. Iron Man
    13. The First Avenger
    12. Doctor Strange
    11. Ant-Man & The Wasp
    10. Age Of Ultron
    9. Ant-Man
    8. The Dark World
    7. Spider-Man:Homecoming
    6. Civil War
    5. Avengers
    4. Guardians Volume 2
    3. Guardians Of The Galaxy
    2. Infinity War
    1. Ragnarok

    I don't get all the love for The Winter Soldier personally, objectively it's a good film but, apart from the elevator fight, the film didn't really do it for me. It's good to see that @Vision* doesn't rank it that high as well, I thought I was the only one! :p

    *Just noticed the Marvel connection in his name, I feel thick now! :D

    I did actually like it quite a bit, but overall the Captain America movies have always felt a little out-of-touch with the rest of them, as if they take themselves too seriously... Which can be good (for example most of the MCU series are a lot more serious than the movies, and it definitely works there), but it doesn't help in making the movies particularly memorable. Civil War is so high up because let's be honest, that's an Avengers movie and not a Captain America one. :p

    Yeah, may as well be called Avengers 2.5, and then you could call Ragnarok Civil Thor instead! :p

    I tend to call Ragnarok "Asgardians of the Galaxy." Also, unrelated but will any of you be having a MCU marathon before Endgame? I know I will.

    I want to at some point, but I really don't think I'll have the time. I also do not own them all and wouldn't want to pirate them all (maybe just Thor: TDW ;))

    Are they not all on Netflix or something similar? Genuine question, I don't have a Netflix account.

    That's one worth owning! ;)

    If you want the truth, the reason it feature quite high is that I recorded it one Christmas a few years ago and it stayed on the Tivo box for ages, possibly because Chris Hemsworth is in it and I lived with just females at the time... Still a decent film though! :p

    No unfortunately. Disney films are pretty far and few between on Netflix. It seems only 3-4 Marvel movies are allowed on at any given time, and it's always the last 3-4 to have released on DVD (except Spider-Man, since technically Sony owns the movie) with some delay in order to give the DVD sales a fighting chance. At the moment Netflix has GOTG Vol. 2, Thor Ragnarok, Black Panther, and Avengers Infinity War listed, with the latter only having been added on Christmas.

    Disney will be releasing their own streaming service, Disney+, in September of this year and will presumably add all of the Marvel movies onto there. This streaming service is the main reason why Disney is buying Fox and why Netflix is now canceling all of the Marvel-Netflix shows.
