You love nbsp lists nbsp and Look to the Cookie doesn t do enough of them So here are the rankings and reasons for the 34 released nbsp Marvel nbsp Comics based nbsp movies that Germar felt like commenting on 34 nbsp Fantastic Four nbsp 2015 nbsp 4 10 nbsp Fantastic Four nbsp is one of the worst films ever made I tweeted I yelled I cursed a lot I don t understand how adults educated men and women with large bank accounts sat down watched this awful mess and thought mission accomplished It s a year later and I still hope to run into this entire team in a dark alley On the plus side it led to my most raw and hilarious podcast ever 33 nbsp The Amazing Spider Man nbsp 2 nbsp 4 5 10 nbsp I had high hopes I was wrong I ve never felt so little for characters superheroes villains The weird Russian robot rhinoceros was weird The crowds watching bullets fly from the sideline was dumb And Jamie Foxx made one of Marvel s most powerful B-list super-villains into a powerful punchline Awful 32 nbsp Thor nbsp nbsp 5 10 nbsp Thor nbsp is the only MCU film that is absolutely awful so far Whenever I hear someone say they liked nbsp Thor I want to punch them in the face very hard I watched this awful film twice because my ex s sister-in-law convinced the family that it was good They all hated it I feel like nbsp Thor is nbsp the most cartoon-y or comic-y of the MCU If you liked this movie you re probably a Thor fan or hardcore comic fan or you have absolutely terrible taste or you want to feel my fist nbsp 31 nbsp Daredevil nbsp 5 10 nbsp I re-watched and reviewed this film just 18 months ago I thought it was okay back in 2003 I was wrong I still love Colin Farrell s Bullseye The black Kingpin was the best Kingpin–pre-Vincent D Onofrio post Spider-man The Animated Series Overall this film is uninteresting unimportant underwhelming and unfortunately underwater Why didn t he drown or freeze nbsp Never mind 30 nbsp Fantastic Four nbsp 6 10 nbsp Who d imagine that the first awful Fox Fantastic Four movie wouldn t be the worst Fox Fantastic Four movie This is not a good film but it has some good moments and some good performances How d they ruin this film Casting Story Direction And this was post-X-men How do you do nbsp this nbsp after nbsp that nbsp 29 nbsp The Wolverine nbsp 6 10 nbsp Is this the same Wolverine from nbsp Origins nbsp or nbsp DOFP nbsp or any other X-men film Yes But no not really Of course this film completely falls apart in the end And Wolvie is played He s dominated superhero cinema since 2000 His story no matter how we twist it is always the same 1 he doesn t remember stuff 2 he heals and 3 adamantium And this wasn t really a film that belongs in this genre or in that universe and totally made the Wolverine trilogy not a trilogy at all It s a mediocre martial arts flick masquerading poorly as an X-film and I wasn t very impressed nbsp 28 nbsp Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer nbsp 6 4 10 nbsp I met Doug Jones He s super nice and the best thing about this movie Everything about the Surfer was super nice The story was decent too But this version of the Fantastic Four like all film versions of F4 stinks I like Jessica Alba as a person I think never met but she was horribly miscast Too many words in this piece are devoted to the Fantastic Four 27 nbsp The Amazing Spider-man nbsp 6 4 10 nbsp The film never quite got over the tall hurdle set up by Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire It wasn t bad It was just more of the same Tobey Franco et al were still fresh The origin story and villain arc in nbsp Amazing nbsp matched the story and arc from the 00s version The movie didn t deliver on what the trailers promised deep story about the spy parents Garfield may be a better Spider-man but he doesn t work at all as Peter 26 X-Men nbsp 6 5 10 nbsp Mad props for being the movie that made this list possible More props for bringing back Toad and making him kinda awesome Even then this film felt smaller than my X-men Smaller core team smaller stakes smaller It s the first one and it s the firstiest movie of any trilogy ever 25 nbsp X-Men Origins Wolverine nbsp 6 5 10 nbsp Yes you hate this movie You re wrong Ask Jon Schnepp about it The beginning of this movie is about as good as these movies get Young Wolverine Logan and Creed dominating every war And even the comme ci comme ca assault on that compound Gambit s appearance is one of the best things about the X-men films And Taylor Kitsch is a better Gambit–with more nbsp Magic better abs and glutes–than Channing Tatum You hate this movie because of what they did to nbsp Deadpool That sucked But this wasn t a Deadpool film The ending may be the worst in comic book movie history but the first two acts are mostly solid nbsp img

works on just about every level It ranked poorly solely because the field is stacked Bringing in the Abomination for a showstopping city-smashing finale was genius Seeing hints of the Leader was cool Edward Norton did what he does he killed it Some parts drag but it s about as good as a live-action Hulk film could be outside of nbsp The Avengers 23 nbsp X-Men Apocalypse 6 5 10 nbsp The most disappointing X-men film ever Yes in part because expectations were high initially But Bryan Singer made a mediocre film–the fourth big franchise superhero film of 2016–and he can t stop patting himself on the back The third one IS always the worst one And for me this is the worstiest of them all to date 22 nbsp Doctor Strange nbsp 6 5 10 nbsp Ok MCU fans stahp it Every next film cannot nbsp be their best film This was nbsp a nbsp good nbsp film but mediocre in this collection They ve perfected the genre and now they can crank them out in perpetuity But nbsp Doctor Strange nbsp lacked the team dynamic and history that recent entries contain And while the movie remained active it wasn t the action of Winter Soldier Ultron or Civil War Yes magic but still Dormammu ending perfect img

best Wolverine film but that doesn t mean much Like the best superhero films they made a film first and a comic book movie second But it many ways it meanders doesn t pull the pieces tightly and has spineless useless villains So yeah Marvel needs to get the rights back The next X-film will include a character literally jumping a shark 20 nbsp Captain America The Winter Soldier nbsp nbsp nbsp 6 5 10 nbsp Somehow this average flick fooled the world It wasn t nearly as clever as you think It did however make nbsp Agents of SHIELD nbsp a much better series The action especially between Cap and Bucky dwarfs the other non-ensemble films This rendition of Falcon fits nicely The Winter Soldier appeared as he might in my dreams and nightmares Oddly I enjoyed it more the second time nbsp Expectations Hype 19 nbsp Ant-Man nbsp nbsp 6 5 10 nbsp I found this film to be the least Marvel-y which is fine Because it wasn t a typical Marvel film it was American film-making 101 and quite predictable If you like mediocre movies you will LOVE this That said they did pull this off well 18 nbsp Spider-man nbsp 3 nbsp 6 7 10 nbsp See nbsp X-men First Class I know why no one liked it because people are wrong about things Superhero movies nbsp are nbsp very nbsp formulaic Spider-mans 1 2 nbsp and nbsp Amazing nbsp are essentially the same film Raimi and the cast couldn t make the same film for a third time They colored a little outside of the lines and you all went bat-sh 7 No I don t know why Peter went emo or learned to play jazz piano or dance poorly–awkwardly But otherwise this has some amazing moments and is far superior to the nbsp Amazing nbsp series while remaining true to the worlds setup in one and two nbsp 17 nbsp Deadpool nbsp 6 9 10 nbsp Initially I hated this film I hated it because all of the best bits are in the trailer Why And why did everyone still love it so I get it I got it But it s the movie they promised and SHOWED in the trailers I just wasn t surprised People made comments like he broke the fourth wall NO F SH OF COURSE HE DID IT S DEADPOOL On my second viewing I appreciated everything a bit more The ending was better than I realized All of the characters were amazing The weakest piece of this film for me was Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool in costume high goofy voice I d rather see a film of Reynolds as Deadpool the mercenary that gets paid to beat up girls bfs Basically I felt like this nbsp nbsp 16 nbsp X2 X-Men United nbsp 7 10 nbsp Here s where I do that thing that you cannot I don t like this movie I rank it higher than I feel because it s not a bad movie it s just not a movie for me It started with the strongest sequence in the entire history of comic book movies but then rolled downhill for two hours straight I m beyond tired of Wolverine and Weapon-X And I m REALLY not a fan of the Phoenix and we end with the big tease It s a good film I own it I ve seen it many many times But could someone tell Fox that X-Men is more than Wolverine running around a facility shirtless K-thx 15 nbsp Iron Man 3 nbsp nbsp 7 10 nbsp Ughhhhh I loved the Mandarin thing but was this really an Iron Man movie I appreciated the Mandarin ruse because we weren t ready for the actual Mandarin yet I understood the stuff with the kid but really There were two iron men that rarely got to suit-up Annnd the weird fire volcano people Annnnd Pepper became Iron Man and Fire Lady nbsp Annnnnnd how did this get ranked so highly Oh there were lots of suits fighting at the end–that was cool Although it was wise of the writers I never bought RDJ s portrayal of PTSD14 nbsp X-Men The Last Stand nbsp 7 10 nbsp I stand alone This film is more like the X-Men of the 90s cartoon and 80s and 90s stories than any other It s the only one where they really feel like a team until nbsp DOFP nbsp future It s the X-Men s MCU-Avengers film years before there was an MCU or nbsp Avengers film nbsp Six mutants that feel like members of my family stand against an army of super-powered beings to protect one life–choice and a group of people that want them dead–because it s the right thing to do They may die and they know it I used to choke up 13 nbsp Iron Man 2 nbsp nbsp 7 10 nbsp No one liked this film but me I understand that But hey I have a sense of humor Drunken Iron Man dancing and fighting stolen suits HAMMER and weapon malfunctions the bird the Widow c mon nbsp 12 nbsp Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 nbsp 7 10 nbsp They almost did it again Odd that this film isn t more connected to the Avengers part of the universe It was hilarious but almost not a movie The typical conflict and tension was non-existent The twists were predictable in a typical way The B-villain and story were laughable But to be fair how do you follow one of the biggest films of all time–the biggest universally loved surprise hit since nbsp The Matrix They nbsp almost nbsp did it 11 nbsp Avengers Age Of Ultron nbsp nbsp nbsp 7 10 nbsp Not a good film but a HUGE film They attempted to pack too much into one film Ultron and Spader dominated Why do Ultron and later the Vision exist and how not that important really They attempted an attempt at explanations all over this thing Nothing made sense but it was a wild and fun ride nbsp 10 Spider-man 7 5 10 nbsp It no longer holds up But this movie more so than nbsp X-men nbsp or nbsp Blade nbsp Superman nbsp or nbsp Batman put superheroes on the movie map The mask was dumb but ultimately inconsequential This was the first time anyone accurately depicted the struggle sacrifice and constant danger of life as Peter Parker nbsp and nbsp Spider-man–outside of a printed page img border 0 height 320 src https 2 bp blogspot com -0f5TBlkd9RE Vann1wbKMmI AAAAAAAACoU oWKAA- 2YKo s320 Thor 2Bdark 2Bworld jpg width 213 9 nbsp Thor The Dark World nbsp nbsp nbsp 7 5 10 nbsp nbsp Yes I appreciate this film more than most of you but that s because I get things and stuff Yes the bad guy was weak unimportant and not memorable but so what They took a big cue from nbsp The Avengers and made a film that was fun funny action packed and included a beginning middle and end I only hated that it was so short 8 nbsp X-Men Days of Future Past nbsp 7 7 10 nbsp Solid It s the best bits of the recent trilogy It s the best Magneto It s the best McAvoy Quicksilver Dinklage And the action presented in the future scenes perfectly portrays the X-Men we imagine in a post-apocalyptic world nbsp 7 Iron Man nbsp nbsp nbsp 8 10 nbsp nbsp I never understood why you feel so strongly and positively about this film I re-watched it It s solid and really solidly establishes the entire universe I had far more fun with 2 and maybe even 3 but this is a far superior film 6 Captain America The First Avenger nbsp nbsp nbsp 8 10 nbsp nbsp Surprise motherf cker that s a nbsp Dexter nbsp reference Honestly I can t even get through this now but I remember what it meant then I m not a Captain America fan This film made me care about him They poked fun at him He was a guy and not an Uncle Sam poster except for when he clearly was but that wasn t by choice Most importantly my female non-nerd friends thought this film was dope and not just because the Human Torch starred in it 5 Spider-man 2 nbsp 8 10 nbsp At the time critics called it the best superhero film of all time I didn t get it On repeated viewings I did They did all the things and with all the best performances The train scene support from civilians the Christ-like sacrifice and posing–it s everything a superhero film should be He s just a kid 4 X-Men First Class nbsp 8 5 10 nbsp Comic book movies are often good for comic book movies But they should be more than that Comic book fans deserve to see their stories win Oscars and receive praise from the most square critics Other than the new mutants mistake this is that X-film nbsp This nbsp is an actual effing movie–not just another superhero button masher There are serious levels of character story and performance Bryan Singer is not the God of X-Men movies Fox should take a page from the MCU and diversify 3 nbsp Captain America Civil War nbsp 8 5 10 nbsp TeamIronMan all day This IS actually Avengers 3 Civil War but it doesn t lose points for that Marvel Studios does an unbelievable job of adding characters combining worlds and progressing their universe It s very well balanced It loses points and me in some of the more verbose scenes The dialogue wasn t too complex just too much The conflict was simple and obvious–show us more of that Spider-man was flawless Black Panther was more flawless nbsp 2 nbsp Guardians of the Galaxy nbsp nbsp 9 10 nbsp nbsp People that don t include this in their top two also get punched in the face nbsp 80s references never go over my head because there ain t no thing like me but me whore The flick s fairly flawless nbsp nbsp 1 nbsp The Avengers nbsp nbsp nbsp 10 10 nbsp nbsp Nailed it THIS is what I want to feel every time I pay 50 for popcorn soda and Raisinets What can I say that hasn t been said before The most balanced movie I ve ever seen if you forget that Hawkeye is also sort of an Avenger nbsp img src http feeds
