- DirectorJoss WhedonStarsRobert Downey Jr.Chris EvansScarlett JohanssonEarth's mightiest heroes must come together and learn to fight as a team if they are going to stop the mischievous Loki and his alien army from enslaving humanity.Call me predictable but this movie is a helluva good time.
- DirectorJon FavreauStarsRobert Downey Jr.Gwyneth PaltrowTerrence HowardAfter being held captive in an Afghan cave, billionaire engineer Tony Stark creates a unique weaponized suit of armor to fight evil.Even though it's the first film in the MCU, Iron Man still stands as a fantastic film thanks to effects the still hold up, a great performance from RDJ, and great direction from Jon Favreau.
- DirectorJames GunnStarsChris PrattVin DieselBradley CooperA group of intergalactic criminals must pull together to stop a fanatical warrior with plans to purge the universe.Non stop action and comedy on display here in James Gunn's ambitious and risky space opera.
- DirectorAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsChris EvansSamuel L. JacksonScarlett JohanssonAs Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world, he teams up with a fellow Avenger and S.H.I.E.L.D agent, Black Widow, to battle a new threat from history: an assassin known as the Winter Soldier.The Russo Brothers masterfully combine political espionage with the superhero genre, it's also one of the smartest and best action movies ever made.
- DirectorAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsChris EvansRobert Downey Jr.Scarlett JohanssonPolitical involvement in the Avengers' affairs causes a rift between Captain America and Iron Man.Bigger than the previous film in the franchise and better according to most ppl but I prefer The Winter Soldier, the Russo's yet again combine the best of both worlds.
- DirectorPeyton ReedStarsPaul RuddMichael DouglasCorey StollArmed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, cat burglar Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, pull off a plan that will save the world.A very entertaining heist film with some truly powerful emotion scenes, it was great seeing Michael Douglas go for the Oscar in a film called "Ant-Man"
- DirectorJoss WhedonStarsRobert Downey Jr.Chris EvansMark RuffaloWhen Tony Stark and Bruce Banner try to jump-start a dormant peacekeeping program called Ultron, things go horribly wrong and it's up to Earth's mightiest heroes to stop the villainous Ultron from enacting his terrible plan.Despite the underwhelming villain and subplots that go pretty much no where Age of Ultron is a very fun, action packed, gritty, ambitious film with tremendous effects work, seeing the team reassemble on the big screen still brings tears and joy to my eyes.
- DirectorShane BlackStarsRobert Downey Jr.Guy PearceGwyneth PaltrowWhen Tony Stark's world is torn apart by a formidable terrorist called the Mandarin, he starts an odyssey of rebuilding and retribution.Iron Man 3 is fun, action packed, and has a good twist, despite the film being all over the place I still was very entertained watching the film and put the grit back into the franchise.
- DirectorJoe JohnstonStarsChris EvansHugo WeavingSamuel L. JacksonSteve Rogers, a rejected military soldier, transforms into Captain America after taking a dose of a "Super-Soldier serum". But being Captain America comes at a price as he attempts to take down a warmonger and a terrorist organization.A solid origin story that focuses too much on being an origin story.
- DirectorLouis LeterrierStarsEdward NortonLiv TylerTim RothBruce Banner, a scientist on the run from the U.S. Government, must find a cure for the monster he turns into whenever he loses his temper.The action is good and it moves at a fast paced, it might be the worst reviewed film in the MCU but for me it's 4th.
- DirectorKenneth BranaghStarsChris HemsworthAnthony HopkinsNatalie PortmanThe powerful but arrogant god Thor is cast out of Asgard to live amongst humans in Midgard (Earth), where he soon becomes one of their finest defenders.Thor like the previous 2 on my list are pretty solid films and nothing else, the film could have been way better if it wasn't filled with annoying human characters, once we go down to earth I start to lose interest, it's a good thing that the film is funny or this could have been lower on this list.
- DirectorAlan TaylorStarsChris HemsworthNatalie PortmanTom HiddlestonWhen the Dark Elves attempt to plunge the universe into darkness, Thor must embark on a perilous and personal journey that will reunite him with doctor Jane Foster.It's pretty obvious that the Thor franchise produces some of the weakest films in the MCU, it was pretty close between this or Iron Man 2 when it came to choosing which one represents the worst of the MCU, Iron Man 2 won, at least The Dark World wasn't following up a great film, just a solid one.
- DirectorJon FavreauStarsRobert Downey Jr.Mickey RourkeGwyneth PaltrowWith the world now aware of his identity as Iron Man, Tony Stark must contend with both his declining health and a vengeful mad man with ties to his father's legacy.Iron Man 2 is the only film in the MCU that I consider bad, it was a huge disappointment after the smash hit Iron Man, it lacks some of the grit of the original which thankfully the 3rd film recaptured (for the most part).
