Although the classic Dark Phoenix comic book scenario of the 1980s has already been adapted, in 2006 it is widely disparaged. X-Men: The Final Clashthis new attempt promises to be more faithful to the initial arc.
1/20 The Iron Man 2
Iron Man 2 is barely holding. Rather than follow the surprising Iron Man success, Marvel Studios has decided to overload the universal reference film (Black Widow, Nick Fury and Agent Coulson SHIELD make all their appearances) and villains in two dimensions (interpreted by Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke). The result is a directionless movie that serves as a Trojan for the Avengers.
Marvel / Disney
2/20 Thor: The World of Darkness
When the Thor franchise lost its director, Kenneth Branagh, between the first and second films, she also had to bid farewell to Shakespearean theatrics, which had given her a crazy charm. Led by Alan Taylor of Game of Thrones, The Dark World gives priority to its VFX effects. It's a bit boring: Christopher Eccleston's Malekith is (by far) Marvel's worst villain, a bunch of prosthetics without any personality, while Chris Hemsworth's Thor completes one of London Tube's most unrealistic journeys in the whole cinematographic history.
Marvel / Disney
3/20 The incredible Hulk
Edward Norton's version of the smashing Hulk is often forgotten by Marvel fans – and for good reason. While Mark Ruffalo's clumsy interpretation of the character has an appealing charm, Norton's snotty monster is devoid of any charisma. While Liv Tyler calls Betty Ross in her performance as a love interest, the film falls flat emotionally and serves as a story of origin by numbers.
Marvel / Disney
4/20 Avengers: the era of Ultron
Just in case we would have forgotten that Disney is a devastating titan that owns half of Hollywood, the following of the 2012 Avengers decided to slip into a small business synergy: when Iron Man creates accidentally a sensitive robot (voiced by James Spader) who decides that the only salvation of the Earth goes through the destruction of humanity, he announces his sinister plans with the accompaniment of a little quote from the classic "I'm not Got No Strings "from 1940, Pinocchio. This is a moment that illustrates Ultron's feeling as a cold, calculated operation of Marvel Studios. It's simply a checklist that forces us to move on to the next chapter of the MCU.
Marvel / Disney
5/20 Thor
Although Kenneth Branagh's launching lineup for Marvel's God of Thunder went perfectly well, this version has suffered tremendously from the dramatic sense of the MCU's progression over the years. Tom Hiddleston's Loki is undoubtedly a strong and well-crafted character, and his plot against his adoptive father (Anthony Hopkins) is exquisitely exacerbated. However, he must have waited for Thor: Ragnarok for Chris Hemsworth's hero to develop a sense of character far beyond the original "fish out of the water" trope.
Marvel / Disney
6/20 Strange doctor
A rich, egocentric white man ventures into a distant land and realizes his potential as a superhero – does that tell you anything? This is because Doctor Strange and Iron Man are basically the same story, except that one uses magic and other explosives. Benedict Cumberbatch's Marveldebut impresses with its kaleidoscope visual, but lacks the heart of Robert Downey Jr's hero, resulting in a film that spoils the talents of Tilda Swinton and Mads Mikkelsen.
Marvel / Disney
7/20 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2
The first Guardians of the Galaxy was a risky adventure inspired by Star Wars, following a group of holes that form an unlikely familiar connection. For the second film, James Gunn has decided to bring everything back to eleven, chaining half a dozen stories intertwined, which has the effect of setting aside the skinny star Lord Chris Pratt. The sequel, however, introduced the now cherished phrase "I'm Mary Poppins, you too," yelled Yondu as he fell gracefully from the sky. A wonderfully comical moment in a film that is still missing half a dozen punches.
Marvel / Disney
8/20 The Avengers
Marvel's first crossover film was an unprecedented film event – an event that has likely changed Hollywood cinema forever, now that all major studios seem to be attempting to approach "franchises" with a "shared universe". Since the MCU refined the model, The Avengers has continued to emphasize the humor, character and heart that would define the success story of Marvel Studios. It is a blockbuster that feels on all fronts, offering thrills not only in the finale of the "Battle of New York", but also in creating a team of perfectly balanced and complementary characters.
Marvel / Disney
9/20 Captain America: Civil War
Despite Captain America: Civil War (AKA Avengers 2.5) with Iron Man, Black Widow and Ant-Man (as well as Black Panther and Spider-Man), the film is still dedicated to Captain America. And maybe that's why the stuffed blockbuster works: without the central focus, the civil war could have fallen into the trap of other Marvel suites by being too complicated. The Russo brothers also make one of the best action scenes in Marvel history so far, the airport scene, which seems to come straight from a comic book.
Marvel / Disney
10/20 Ant-Man and the wasp
While the first Ant Man was a mirror image of his star Paul Rudd, essentially delivering a studio comedy dressed in spandex, the latter found a new trick in his bag in the form of Hope van Dyne 's. Evangeline Lilly – an intelligent and capable heroine who did not exist simply to serve as a guardian for male characters.
Marvel / Disney
11/20 The ant man
Ant-Man should not have worked as a movie. Just look at the title! It is ridiculous to think that a film about a man with ant powers should work – not to mention a resounding success and part of the larger film universe underway. Yet, despite production problems (Edgar Wright was originally to direct the film), Peyton Reed is making this hilarious film with a certain sense of self, taking the Marvel world a little less seriously than others.
Marvel / Disney
12/20 Avengers: war in the infinite
In 2018, Marvel redefined cinematographic narratives, creating a unique highlight for a decade of films. While this is a total nonsense for anyone new to the franchise (if that's possible), it was an emotional release for fans that was second to none. The Russo brothers had the monumental task of ensuring that every cross – from the Guardians of the Galaxy to the Wakanda Realm – works in a natural way, while bringing the MCU's evil mechanic, Thanos, into the spotlight. Epic at once in terms of scale and stakes, Infinity War also stages one of the most memorable finals in the history of blockbusters.
Marvel / Disney
13/20 Captain America: the first avenger
With or without the beard, Steve Rogers aka Captain America has now become the monumental center of the Avengers, but there was once a time when he was completely turned to heroism. Director Joe Johnston remained faithful to the film in the 1940s in a film that embraces the news of the early comic story, as Steve strikes the Nazis and the military novelist Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). in distress.
Marvel / Disney
14/20 Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Although centered on a super powerful American nationalist, Captain America's trilogy has the most consistent quality in the MCU. The winter soldier, his coronation, is a conspiracy thriller filled with adrenaline that offers a dramatic twist and causes questions about modern surveillance. However, since the Russo brothers base the rest of the film on realism, CGI's lavish end is fraught with meaning.
Marvel / Disney
15/20 Spider-Man: Homecoming
While the miraculous arrival of Spider-Man in the MCU occurred with Captain America: Civil War, it was not until the Homecoming that we really knew Peter Parker. The incarnation of Tom Holland goes beyond the version of Andrew Garfield, thanks to the story of the film starring minor stakes, allowing intimate moments with the character. In addition to great comic performances (Jacob Batalon as Ned stands out), Michael Keaton's Vulture is a terrifying villain, and the filming is superbly done.
Marvel / Disney
16/20 Iron Man 3
Even if it divides Marvel's fans, Shane Black's super-hero outing – with the sharp and acute dialogue of the author / director – ends the story of Tony Stark (or what's going on). it should have been his end) with humor and heart to spare. While the genius of a billionaire, Robert Downey Jr, deals with PTSD and struggles with his robotic creations, we see an actor give everything he has. While Civil War movies and The Avengers brought him back into action, the fingers intersect. Avengers: Endgame will give the character an emotionally satisfying send.
Marvel / Disney
17/20 Thor: Ragnarok
Completely transforming the Thor franchise into one effortless move, director Taika Waititi injected new energy into the MCU. Ragnarok is perfectly balanced both as a standard Marvel film, with all the legitimate rights and building the intact world, and as a work exclusively owned by Waititi, filled with the humor and charm he had previously shown in What We Do in the Shadows and Wilderpeople Hunt. By finding a way to incorporate individual voices into his imposing franchise machine, Marvel discovered the secret of true long-term success.
Marvel / Disney
18/20 Iron Man
Where it all started Iron Man has diverted expectations by not only reintroducing Robert Downey Jr to the world, but also showing that a relatively unknown B character might be at the center of a blockbuster. Other cinematic universes fail because they try to introduce too much (an error committed in Iron Man 2). The first Iron Man, however, had an autonomous story that only suggested a larger world – a world that would eventually become a multi-billion dollar franchise.
Marvel / Disney
19/20 Guardians of the Galaxy
Exploding Marvel's universe into space, experience an adventure with a group of truly fragmented heroes, including both a talking raccoon and a sacred creature, Guardians of the Galaxy is arguably the biggest risk that the franchise has never taken. And that paid off dramatically, with director James Gunn giving the superhero genre a light layer of joy for the B-movie. He has also turned Chris Pratt, the star of Parks and Recreation, into a big box office draw he's in today.
Marvel / Disney
20/20 Black Panther
Although Black Panther always meticulously meets all the requirements of a Marvel movie, bridging past and future movies and ending with a cinematic battle filled with CGI trickery, Ryan Coogler has succeeded, as a director, to use a story in traditional cinema. In the dispute between T'Challa of Chadman Boseman, the leader of Wakanda, and Killmonger of Michael B Jordan, he nuanced commentary on colonialism and black identity. It is a film that triumphs at once in its kind by bringing new perspectives to the history of superheroes and outside of it, satisfying only as a narrative play.
