Marvel Movies from Best to Worst (Revamped)

let me try this again.

I agree the directors cut was MUCH better than DD, and i didnt mind the regular cut anyways.

Your "3 star" all the way down to the "1 star" can all be grouped together as bad.

The Hulk2003 is soo underrated

I thought blade was better than blade 2. But that is a very fair list. I'm glad you have X-men and X2 above X-men first class. I just don't see how people think first class is the best X-men film.

@Tainted87

Yeah, they are good actors. But I just cannot watch first class without cringing during so many parts. Anything to do with beast was terrible. Same with most of the younger cast, especially the entire scene where they give each nick names. The villains were handled poorly, 2 out of the 4 villains barely spoke or didn't speak at all, they were just there. I hated the beginning where he tried to duplicate what Singer did because it didn't look nearly as good as Singers version and the scene following it where young Eric meets Shaw was so unemotional and poorly acted that Shaw killing his mother right in front of him had no impact on me at all. That scene sets up Magneto's whole revenge story and it fell completely flat. Sorry for ranting. I just don't understand why this movie is considered good. Aside from Fassbender and McAvoy (Fassbender more so than McAvoy) I can find much at all to like about it.

No, Elektra was BAD, bad. Unfinished effects, characters unrelated to Elektra (Typhoid Mary, Stone, Green Lantern's Tattooed Man...) being set up against her, not to mention some of the worst ideas in CBM history, poor fight scenes, annoying characters, TERRIBLE costuming, lack of faithfulness to the comics.... none of these come close to the fact that this movie is another reason why studios don't have faith in female leads.

First Class - I don't think we're going to agree on anything there, so I'm not going to argue about it, but I think it's better than all but X2.

This is a very fair list even though I would put Iron Man ahead of The Avengers. Yes the Avengers is a great film but it didn't have the heart and the moral undertones that Iron Man had.

The Punisher is probably the most underrated CBM ever it is also one of my favorite revenge movies. Tom Jane was excellent in that movie and he had some pretty badass lines.

No offense MadJakHatesSpinoffs, but this list seem fo have a bit of hindsight bias in the way that almost all of the newer movies get 5 or 4 stars. I'm too lazy to redo the whole list, but the top 5 should be apparent...

1: Iron Man
2: Spiderman 2
3: X-Men 2
4: The Avengers
5: The Incredible Hulk

X-Men First Class is overrated, And X-Men 3 is underrated. Everyone Talks about how well Fassbender and McAvoy did(they were good), but still, they couldn't hold a candle up to Stewart and McEllen, IMHO. The scene in X3 when ProfX and Magneto confront Phoenix at Jean's house alone was better than anything that XM:FC had to offer. If I were just to rank the X-Men franchise, it would be...

1: X-Men 2
2: X-Men 3
3: X-Men: First Class
4: X-Men
5: X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Hulk(2003) is definitely underrated. People give it a lot of crap because at release it was compared to Spiderman both critically and financially. There were a few sparks of genius in this film, though. Hulk vs the Tanks is still one if the most iconic scenes in CBM History.

As Far as the Marvel Studio films, a lot of them are higher on the list that they deserve if they were to be judged in their own merits and not as part of Avengers Phase 1. Where they should be is...

5 Stars: Iron Man
4.5 Stars: The Avengers
4 Stars: The Incredible Hulk
3.5 Stars: Iron Man 2
3 Stars: Thor, Captain America

Avengers was SO close to being the best CBM ever, it didn't take itself seriously enough when it needed to. The same laughs that made the first 2 acts so entertaining did not let up in the third act which made the invasion not feel so threatening...

I thought Daredevil was OK, and I haven't even seen the directors cut. I also wouldn't put X-Men, X2 or Spider-Man in the top five.

I've never seen a Punisher film, nor any of the Blade films, so my list would go something like this:

The Excellent - Avengers, Iron Man, The Amazing Spider-Man, Thor, Captain America, X-Men First Class
The Good - Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man, Iron Man 2, X2
The OK - Daredevil, Spider-Man 3, X-Men
The Sucky - X-Men Origins: Wolverine (up until they show Deadpool, then I stop watching), Hulk
The Worst of the Worst - Everything else, then Howard The Duck and Elektra

The reason I did not include Howard the Duck was because it was made in the 80's long before any of these other films came out. Not to mention it was more of a Lucas film than a Marvel film, so it was kind of in a world of its own.

I can justify my list pretty well. Most every movie that has come out in the past 4 years has been pretty decent (minus War Zone). I enjoyed all 5 of the Avengers prequels. You had 5 good movies that built up and led to one great one.

Elektra may have been the worst comic movie I have seen yet. Weak script, bad acting, one dimensional characters, boring movie. I also thought The Hulk was a snoozefest. Ang Lee should never direct a comic or action film. He's much better at directing cowbows breaking each other's butts.

Insulting those who dont agree with you?, nice.

OK, maybe that sounded bad. To anyone else reading, let me make myself more clear. I am not saying Ang Lee is a bad director. I am not saying that Ang Lee did not make a relevenat homosexual movie. What I am saying is that Ang Lee is a much better director for romance films than action films. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was foreign wushu epic, but it doesn't exactly fit the mold for a standard American action film.
