8. Iron Man

With out this film, there can be no MCU. Jon Favreau’s movie nailed the tone and created what would grow to be the MCU customary.

The film solid is nice: from Marisa Tomei as Aunt Might to Jacob Batalon as greatest good friend and “man within the chair,” and particularly Zendaya as a reimagined MJ. Having Iron Man as his mentor and being who provides Spider-Man his first tech-advanced go well with helps reinforce the sense of a shared universe between films. The emotional relationship between the 2 can be explored and mined for emotion in future installments of the MCU. 

This John Hughes high-school film however with superheroes is a humorous, charming teen drama. Spider-Man has to discover ways to juggle his two lives, teenager and hero, each getting the identical quantity of respect, as asking the woman you’ve got a crush on a date is as essential and life-altering second as combating any felony and nearly dying.

There’s an unbelievable climatic battle in Wakanda, however what’s most remembered (apart from the ending) is all of the enjoyable and jokes the writers are having, mixing and matching the totally different characters of the numerous MCU movies. On reflection, it’s apparent Iron Man and Physician Unusual would conflict as each are egomaniacs who at all times wish to have the final phrases, and it additionally makes excellent sense Thor would bond with a raccoon and a speaking tree. 

The ending with the snap is an unbelievable cliffhanger and probably the most depressing and darkish the MCU would ever get, despite the fact that realizing many of the lifeless characters had films lined up for the long run took out quite a lot of the shock worth to that ending. 

5. Guardians of the Galaxy

Guardians of the Galaxy was the movie that proved {that a} good director might make a gaggle of unknown characters probably the most distinctive, enjoyable, and badass in the entire galaxy.

Taika Waititi did one thing that seemed not possible with Thor: Ragnarok, and that’s making a Thor film enjoyable and attractive. Whereas the primary two films are a whole snoozefest, the third installment is heavy metallic, not solely due to its soundtrack but additionally as a result of it’s huge, daring, colourful, and shocking.

This film might’ve solely come out of Waititi’s mind, and it reveals, as his deadpan humor is on full show within the script, and also you simply by no means know what’s going to occur subsequent, together with the looks of Jeff Goldblum as his most Goldblum-est.

1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Steve Rodgers was at all times a boy scout with values that didn’t at all times work within the twenty first Century. Making him confront these beliefs in an actual world with far more grey and nuance is such a terrific thought and offers him good motivation and is such a strong basis for making a terrific film like Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Giving Captain America a villain who not solely has the identical skills but additionally has an emotional reference to him served to ups the stakes to a brand new stage that wasn’t current within the earlier movie. The second when he understands his greatest good friend Bucky is The Winter Soldier continues to be one of many saddest in the entire MCU.

To counterbalance the unhappiness, Captain America will get a brand new sidekick in Anthony Mackie’s Falcon, and has enjoyable conversations with Black Widow, with some banter that would’ve been taken from a 50s rom-com. After they kiss, to mislead the goons who’re searching for them, Black Widow makes the query everybody has been questioning: has Captain America ever kissed a woman? The response is priceless and one of many largest laughs in the entire movie.

All that may make the movie be Prime 5 within the MCU, however what makes it leap to the highest is Captain America: The Winter Soldier’s nice set items. From the automobile chase the place they attempt to kill Nick Fury to the elevator scene the place Steve fights with many Hydra goons and the primary combat with a knife-wielding Bucky. 

The whole lot about this film screamed thrilling motion thriller, and it delivered, giving the MCU a brand new style taste, one which was the right mixture of paranoia, thriller, motion, jokes, surprises, and character improvement. That’s why it’s one of the best film within the MCU.
