Top 10 Marvel Movies
- Captain America: First Avenger – This might not be the “best” Marvel movie, but it’s my favorite. It’s a flawless origin story and a great period piece that combines science fiction with a real feel war movie. I can do this all day.
- Captain America: Winter Soldier – Cap keeps it going with an awesome espionage movie. Incredibly rewatchable and action packed.
- Ironman- The MCU’s second best origin (in my opinion) story and the one that set the tone for everything we’ve seen since.
- Avengers: Infinity War – This is an epic monster that brought it all together. And for being such a huge movie, it’s very rewatchable.
- Avengers: End Game – Avengers, assemble. That’s it, that’s the whole post.
- Avengers – We knew what we were building to, but we finally got to see Earth’s mightiest heroes together. And it was AWESOME! This movie still holds up even though Cap’s costume seems a little cheesy.
- Thor Ragnarok – God, I love this movie. Thor finds his tone as a comedic hero and it works great with the Hulk. I hope we can see these two together again. This movie is just fun.
- Guardians of the Galaxy – The first MCU movie that took us to space and with a lighter tone. The entire cast had great chemistry. Funny, fun and exciting.
- Blade – Surprised? You shouldn’t be. Not only does this one hold up, but it’s the movie that REALLY kicked things off for Marvel and showed us that superhero movies could be serious.
- Logan – I am a HUGE Wolverine fan, and while Jackman was great in other movies, this is the first one to get Logan right. An emotional rollercoaster that really hits you in the gut. I just wish they could have found this tone in a few movies before they kill old kaknuckle head off. Here’s to hoping they do him proper in the MCU
KG’s pick (in no particular order)
- Thor Ragnarok- Hilarious and Israel brought up all the key points. Also rescued this franchise from the ashes.
- Logan- They ended this franchise the PERFECT way.
- X-Men Days of Future Past- They nailed time travel with new and old characters with panache.
- Blade- FIRST Marvel black superhero (Not Black Panther) and Snipes was PERFECT as the Daywalker. And let’s not forget a fan-fucking-tastic soundtrack to boot.
- Captain America 2 Winter Solider- I wasn’t really impressed with one (It’s FINE) but holy shit, did the Russo brothers take this into the ionosphere. The twist was solid and I LOVED the scene where the computer Hydra explains the story and calls in an airstrike.
- Avengers Endgame-Amazing conclusion and we just did it on the podcast. What a battle finale, loved it.
- Avengers Infinity War- What a beautiful setup and story line. Again, Israel hit the key points.
- Iron Man- I bet RDJ has a weekly standing appointment to blow Jon Favreau to resurrect his career and make him a hundred millionaire.
- X2- This and DOFP were the ONLY two good films in the franchise. Although our guest, Task, would vehemently disagree. I loved the conversion to the Brotherhood for Pyro and others. And Lady Deathstrike was fantastic, wish she got more screen time in other films somehow.
- Deadpool- Surprised Israel omitted this one from the list. Van Wilder as the foul mouthed merc was the perfect casting and a great story combined with the BEST Stan Lee Cameo, EVER.
