But only the first one, right?
I have not subjected myself to the second one yet. It takes me time to build up a tolerance to shit.
Winter Soldier boring as fuck? Wat
This needs a serious avatar quote.

For me, Winter Soldier falls in the same category as The Dark Knight Rises. Flashy as fuck, but boring to watch and a chore to finish.
Well now you know.
The second ghost rider is one the best marvel related movies out there.

The 2nd one is directed by Neveldine / Taylor therefore it is great, they basically used it as an excuse to unleash a fully insane Nicholas Cage.

You think that CA:TWS was boring to watch and a chore to finish?
Wow, just WOW. I'm so glad I'm able to enjoy good movies and not have opinions like yours. Life would be so dull if I was like you....

GotG is definitely up there with my favorite Marvel films.
Avengers, Capt. America: Winter Soldier, and Iron Man.

Swap Thor 2 and Cap 1 and this might be my list

This ... this is my list.
Except I maybe would put Cap1 at meh and I wouldn't even count Hulk ..
I would switch Thor 1 with 2 because the first movie established Loki (so far the only memorable antagonist) well.

I'd like to think you've had the New Thread form open for the past two years and you've just been adding to it this whole time.

The tea is that there are no 'great' marvel films. TWS comes the closest, though.

If y'all (original posters on the forum topic) had done your research, you'da seen its concept was pretty much Firefly, and we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Let's not pretend TWS was a good movie. It was good by "Summer action picture" standards, but it's not Before Midnight, No Country for Old Men type good. TWS was Octopussy, not Raging Bull, only genre fans are really gonna care about it in 30 years.
If someone wants to call TWS a chore, I can see it.
My complaint about the MCU films is that they're all very uninteresting and safe. Watching a MCU film is like listening to pop music, it's going to be pretty good no matter what. People are allowed to be bored with "pretty good formula jank."

I always thought opinions were subjective and couldn't be empirically incorrect.
I was wrong...
Ghost Rider wasn't garbage. It was just boring. Ghost Rider 2 isn't as boring but it is in fact garbage.
I'll throw in my 2 cents on the rankings.
Great:GotG, Avengers
Good: Winter Soldier, Thor, Iron Man 1 and 3
Eh:Thor 2, Captain America
Nope: Iron Man 2, Incredible Hulk, Ghost Rider, Howard the Duck
NOPE:HULK, Daredevil, Ghost Rider 2, Elektra Punisher 1 and 2.

I love the second one, I think the first is terrible. I don't know why people hate the movie so much.

Marvel is afraid of me...I have seen its true face. The films are extended boredom and the boredom is full of CGI and when the boredom finally scabs over, all of NeoGAF will drown.
The accumulated filth of all their OTs and truthfacts will foam up about their waists and all the Juniors and Mods will look up and shout "Agree with us!"
And I'll look down and whisper:
"For me, Winter Soldier falls in the same category as The Dark Knight Rises. Flashy but boring to watch and a chore to finish."

Iron Man 3 is so garbage. It also managed to disgrace the IP's top villain. How people are cool with that, I have no idea.
Iron Man 2 > Iron Man 3.

I'll take a stab at every marvel comic film I've watched. Some of these films I hadn't watched since I was a kid, so early 2000 titles are a bit fuzzy.
Great: Spider-Man 1 + 2, Avengers, Winter Soldier, First Class, Last Stand, Guardians of The Galaxy
Good: Blade 1 & 2, Xmen 1 & 2, Iron Man
Ok: Blade 3, Spider 3, Xmen 3, Hulk, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Daredevil, ASM, Wolverine, Captain America, Thor
Didn't care for: Thor 2, Punisher, Iron Man 3, X Men: Origins, ASM2
Thought was bad: Ghost Rider, Fantastic Four
Should probably check myself on Blade 1 & 2, those are the oldest ones on the list, but I remember liking them. Would have been around 12 when they came out.

You. I like you.
Scrapping Ben Kingsley as a vicious terrorist with supernatural abilities for ANOTHER corporate rival of Stark Industries as the big bad is an unforgivable sin, and that doesn't even touch on the myriad of poor script decisions and continuity errors that movie suffered from. Such a disappointment.

Don't be surprised if in a future movie Ben Kingsley plays exactly who you thought him to be the first time. He has been summoned.
I'm gonna speculate either twins and/or body snatched.

Water is not wet!
i was pretty much expecting an ending that wouldve been a cross between the Keyser Soze reveal and 12 Monkeys-esque cell escape.

IM1 > Everything else.
IM1 is the only rewatchable one for me. Thor 2 is the only one i would label as bad. Very boring.

Lies detected. Guardians of the Galaxy is damn amazing...and The Avengers is pretty solid too.
I haven't even bothered to watch the rest because I have more or less no interest in them at all.
Swap Thor 2 with Cap 1, drop IM3 to Pretty Good, place an Okay rank between Good and Meh, place IM2 in Okay rank, and this would be my list.
Great: GOTG, Avengers, Winter Soldier
Good: Iron Man
Decent: Cap 1, Thor 1, Iron Man 3
Didn't like: Hulk, Iron Man 2
Haven't seen Thor 2 yet. I felt the Iron Man series as a whole was pretty average & inconsistent. GOTG and Winter Soldier restored my faith in Marvel though, both were fantastic.

I'm in the same boat. Thor 1 and Hulk are probably the weakest, but even those are still above average for the genre, and ok films overall.
