Re: Rank the Marvel Cinematic Universe films
A couple of my favorites that don't get a lot of love are Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk. I absolutely love those movies, and put them both in the top half of the Marvel catalog. I never get tired of watching them.

Re: Rank the Marvel Cinematic Universe films
I've probably bitched the most w/ the Thor films.
They're just really mediocre to me. Jane Foster literally doesn't need to be in there for meat of the plot. She's such a weak character. Darcy, while nice to look at, is very pointless. They made Selvig into a joke in Thor 2. The Destroyer was not a threat to Thor at all. Malekith was a mediocre villain. The whole changing languages w/ the dark elves made no sense in the context used. etc etc.
The best thing to come out of them is Loki. After that it's a very much bit and pieces that rock in them. Not as a whole though.

Re: Rank the Marvel Cinematic Universe films
I enjoy the Thor films but they feel very slight compared to Iron Man and Cap, which is really odd since Thor is literally a god. He's used to much better effect in the two Avengers movies.

Re: Rank the Marvel Cinematic Universe films
I thought the first Thor was half a really cool move and half an OK but flawed one.
The second was, in my mind, superior because it EMBRACED its fantastical origins rather than run screaming from them (e.g. the entire second act of the first film). It had some of the same flaws (the human characters, mostly) but it improved in almost every other aspect.
The Gold Standard has been, IMO, both Cap flicks, Avengers, and the original Iron Man. I was a little harder on Guardians of the Galaxy when it first came out (although I still really enjoyed it), but since I got the Blu-Ray I've been digging it even more.

The only one that I don't get excited about re-watching is Guardians of the Galaxy. I just find that one to be somewhere between OK and fairly good.

That's about right for me. I might tweak it later, but that's pretty close. I'm actually a big fan of the first 19 there, and I like the last 4. I don't dislike any of them, but the last 4 there were disappointing (not as good as they should have been).
Of course, I haven't seen Black Widow yet, so I don't know what slot it will slide into on that list.

Re: What is your Favorite Movie in Marvel's MCU
I've got to vote for The Winter Soldier. It was just great fun from beginning to end. As much as I like the other Marvel films, none of them were as enjoyable.
Of course I'm also one of the few that ranks The Incredible Hulk near the top of the Marvel films for take my opinion for what you will.
