Eternals
This movie tried to do so many things yet failed in every single way by making a whole set of new heroes in one movie. There wasn't much build up anyway, they just introduced them. It would be like introducing the Inhumans and saying they have been here the entire time.
Thor: The Dark World
This movie also tries to do too many things from being a comedy, to a coming back home story, a galaxy travelling adventure and a romance.
The Incredible Hulk
This film Hulk is the third time Hulk is on screen with a different actor playing him and it just feels weird. It tried to be to serious, and I don't think that works for a big green baby.
Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel is a film which establishes a new powerful character with twenty-three years of being there and no-one has tried to call her yet, it just feels like a Thor knock-off.
After rewatch this is a great film and Christian Bale is a great Gorr, but it was just too much of a Taika Waititi film to be a Marvel film. Too many jokes.
Thor
Like I said, Captain Marvel is just a Thor knock-off and these two movies are all exactly the same: Alien comes to earth, understands earth, wants to stay on earth, leaves earth to fight space bad guys.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
Although I think it is critically underrated, it still has flaws. It felt like a 2hr long trailer for Phase 5/6. Kang was a good villain, but I do not see the point as he could just come back in the infinite multiverse.
Black Widow
This movie feels so weird, it is based off a character who died two movies ago and set almost 10 years (MCU timeline) ago. It should have came out after Civil War, I get it was there to set up Thunderbolts, so why didn't we have a Yelena movie?
Avengers Age of Ultron.
This film has lots individual plot points. From Ultron being a suit of armor around the world to being a villain, this film is very confusing.
Iron Man 2
This movie gets a lot of hate for not being as good as the first, but at the time this dint have a lot of competition. My least favourite part is what they tried to do with Whiplash, but it was a satisfying introduction for War Machine.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Everybody expected this to be the big cameo store but it only delivered a small cameo market but we have to be grateful for what we got.
Ant Man.
A 'small' hero was turned into a worldwide phenomenon after Paul Rudd delivers a hilarious performance. The only thing I don't get is why did Scott steal the suit?
Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2.
This sequel is probably the third best MCU sequel. The graphics are great, Ego is a good villain and it is absolutely hilarious but the story is too slow.
Doctor Strange
The Visuals and mind bending graphics drive you away from the actual plot of the film.
Ant Man and the Wasp.
In my opinion this film is way to overhated, I think it's great! The thing I find funny though, is they never say Wasp in this film or Quantumania.
Iron Man 3
A fun Christmas special for the Iron Man franchise. I think it set up the Ten Rings to early, but I also think it wouldn't of worked without the Ten Rings and the Mandarin.
Spider-Man Far From Home
Mysterio is a great villain, Tom Holland is the best Peter Parker and Ned Leeds is the best guy in the chair.
Captain America The First Avenger
This film is a great take on Captain America and the 1940's setting is great.
Shang Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings
This MCU film is one of the best in Phase four with an amazing villain and epic action scenes. Finally establishing the Ten Rings after a decade.
Werewolf by night
Marvel's first Special presentation delivers a great horror story to start of the character. Man Thing might show up again?
Avengers
This was the first crossover movie after Roger Rabbit and is a good film to introduce the characters together. Loki is still top 5 MCU villains.
A great film to deliver respects to Chadwick Boseman and a film to compare to Avatar (2007). Great things are delivered by Ryan Cooler ever time.
James Gunn's finale for these characters delivers emotion and a great villain but it feels like they kept the characters alive for spin offs.
Spider-Man Homecoming
It is sort of like a High School Musical meets MCU movies and it is the most rewatchable MCU film.
Captain America Civil War
Combining two of the top best MCU movies: Spider-Man Homecoming and Black Panther with an almost worldwide argument: which side are you on?
Thor: Ragnarok
The funniest Thor movie with killer Hulk moments and great Doctor Strange cameo.
Captain America the Winter Soldier
Best MCU sequel ever. The cast is great Bucky Barnes has a great character ark and Russo brothers are amazing at directing.
Black Panther
Black Panther is a great film, with an excellent performance by Chadwick Boseman.
Iron Man
The first Movie in the MCU is amazing. Robert Downey Jr. is Iron Man
Spider-Man No Way Home
I used to say this was the best MCU film but it lies here now because after rewatch it wasn't that good, It still is top 5 MCU films. All three Spider-Men, villains and Daredevil.
Avengers Endgame
The highest grossing movie of 2019 an amazing ending to the Infinity Saga.
Funniest MCU film which introduced five new characters and Thanos in the correct way and absolutely hilarious.
Avengers Infinity War
Every single Avenger together and a two hour long version to Endgame final battle. Fan service at peak. Thanos its still the best MCU villain and Russo brothers are great at making an Avengers return film.
