Ranking the Marvel Cinematic Universe Films

The Avengers was massive, but not my favorite.

Since Phase 2 of the MCU is now complete with Ant-Man, here's my current ranking of the films, which tend to be good, if not great.

12. Iron Man 2 (2010)

11. Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

10. The Incredible Hulk (2008)

9. Iron Man 3 (2013)

8. Ant-Man (2015)

7. Thor: The Dark World (2013)

6. The Avengers (2012)

5. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

4. Thor (2011)

3. Iron Man (2008)

2. Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

1. Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

  1. Love seeing Guardians so high (it would be my #1, but admittedly I haven't seen all of these yet).

    1. Guardians is brilliant. Aside from Age of Ultron and the Iron Man sequels, you should check out some of the ones you haven't seen, like the Thor films.

  2. Wow, this looks pretty different to the list I'd have! For me, Avengers is at the top, closely followed by Guardians and Winter Soldier.

    As for the rest, I ranked them last year before Age of Ultron, so maybe I'll have to do an update! :)

    1. Ha, everyone seems to prefer The Avengers, but I've never been a big fan. I like it, though I think it's a little overrated.

  3. Ooooh!!! I LOVE that you have the first Capt. America as #1! I love that movie, and I think it's so underrated. I had no idea what to expect when it first came out. I actually saw it a few hours after meeting Chris Evans at Comic-con, but I wasn't super excited about it. Well suffice to say I was blown away and I still love it to this day every time I watch it. I'm not sure your #2 pick would make my top 5 though.

    1. That's awesome about Captain America, Ruth! I love the nostalgia that comes with that film. So good. Guardians is one that I didn't expect to love, but I was pleasantly surprised.

  4. Nice ranking! I haven't seen Age of Ultron nor Ant-Man yet, but our top 5 are the same. I'm a bit surprised to see The Dark World at No. 7 though! I haven't encountered many people who were fans of that haha.

    1. Thanks! I love that our top 5 are the same! It seems like Captain America: TFA gets overlooked most of the time. I enjoyed The Dark World, and I almost put it ahead of The Avengers.

    1. I LOVE that Dark World is so high! On another day I might put it in my top 5 ahead of The Winter Soldier and The Avengers. :)

  6. I'd actually rank Captain close to bottom...:) Glad to see Thor so high up!

    1. Haha, I think most people put Captain near the bottom. ;) I just love it. Oh, Thor is so underrated. I really enjoyed it, as well as The Dark World.

  7. I've seen a number of lists on this very topic and this is the first with The First Avenger and Thor ahead of The Winter Soldier and The Avengers. I don't really agree with that, but it was refreshing to see a different take.

    1. Thanks, Wendell. Most lists tend to go a different route, but I've always found The Avengers a tad overrated. Thor was a lot of fun, and The First Avenger just feels like a blast from the past.
