The last group is B+ and Bs. So even the worst is still pretty solid entertainment. And I think the top 3 matches up well with Nolan's trilogy, though I'd still give Nolan the edge. TDK is still way beyond any other superhero movie.

Really a D

Bad movies are bad.

Me and the 11,785 people who gave this a thumbs down and then another 1,974 people who gave this a thumbs down. But sure, I am LITERALLY the only person that doesn't think it looks great. Literally.

Literally, you are.

Hmmm...

10. Iron Man 2

I find it hard to rank The Incredible Hulk. I know it's part of the MCU, but it feels very detached from it. Also, I very much love Mark Ruffalo WAY better as Bruce than I do Ed Norton, though I liked him well enough in TIH.

I haven't yet had the chance to see Ant-Man, sadly, so cannot rank it yet.

PS: Chippy, The Dark World was all about one of the Infinity Stones (the Reality Stone, contained in the Aether), as was Age of Ultron (the Mind Stone); so I'd say those two movies definitely have something "to do with the rest of the series" considering the MCU is heading toward the Infinity War.

PPS: I'm with Algren - not even remotely interested in SS. Looks like they're trying to copy Guardians but without any of the vibrance and good humor.

There was no stone I could see in TDW, as I just watched it. And no normal person is going to know the stone is "in" the Aether, it was never implied or shown.

And I haven't seen Ultron in a while, but I don't remember how the Mind stone was obtained? Did it just appear on Vision?

The Mind Stone was what powered Loki's staff.

when the hell did that happen? I thought loki's staff had some light orb thing towards the tip

Each Infinity Stone has a "containment unit." The Aether is the CU for the Reality Stone and is the only non-solid CU; the Mind Stone was within a protective casing in the scepter.

Here's all the info on the MCU-related canon for the stones:

EDIT: Oh, and people are pointing out that the stone within the pendant Doctor Strange is wearing in the promo pics looks like it could be the Time Stone. So that's five stones represented so far in the MCU. Just need to see the Soul Stone show up.

I'm pumped for Civil War, both with the great early buzz it's getting and how the Russos already delivered my favourite of the MCU films with Winter Soldier. They just have a way with getting the best out of their characters (Cap, Widow, Falcon) that others don't quite manage.

After seeing Civil War I do think it's on the upper tier of the MCU but I wouldn't rank it above Winter Soldier. I didn't love Civil War coming out of the theater but I was pretty pleased with Age of Ultron in theaters, although that one didn't hold up that well when I rewatched it... Idk.

Well they really haven't done a good job of explaining any of this. At least in the Guardians of the Galaxy it made sense.

They have a whole two movies to explain it. So far it's just been glimpses. If you're like me you at least somewhat understand and recognized them in Thor's big dream/ vision.

Though to be fair I feel like 5 marvel films now the stones have played a major part. Both Avengers for the one, CA for the other and Thor 2 and Guardians. I doubt Super GA grasp the connection yet

Thor had a dream/vision?!?!

It's kind of his only scene in AOU. In fact they do it twice, in case you were pissing the first time

Watching now. Was that not in the theatrical cut? Because I do not remember that in the theatrical cut.

Also, that scene is a little like the JL scenes in BvS...

That was in the theatrical cut.

And yeah, it's a lot like the JL scenes in BVS.

Didn't Guardians do a decent job of explaining the stones? If I remember right, it had a pretty nifty scene quickly showing all of the stones up to that point in the series.

Guardians did the best job of it. Which is why Guardians, outside of the awkward dancing scene, is one of Marvel's best movies.

Willem Dafoe cast in Justice League. Waiting for Tobey Maguire to be announced tbh.

Who's he playing??

They haven't specified yet.

Michael Keaton is not going to be in Spider Man: Homecoming.
