The only lists I trust put Iron Man 2 smack in the middle because it is the template for every subsequent film other than Captain America 1.

I'd actually rank Iron Man 2 as the second-best Marvel film. In retrospect, its utter shameless idiocy gives it an ersatz Michael Bay quality.

Like, any film that can make it to the bottom of multiple lists that praise Avengers 1 must be doing something right. The race car scene is, at least, the only great superhero fight in the entire MCU.

The race car scene is one of the ones I watched on YT and I thought it was relaly good. I think after that I caught it on Netflix and became instantly bored and skipped ahead to some Act 2 scene with Vanko in prison and I becaame really annoyed immediately and did something else.

I feel like it's hard to rank them on an individual level because who am I to say if Thor or Avengers is the worst, so I kinda group them by how I felt when watching them and if I ever want to rewatch them. I feel kinda bad for saying Age of Ultron is bad because I did really want to like it, but I feel like if I watched it again I would fall asleep. I expect Civil War to fall in that middle category, and I don't really care to watch The Incredible Hulk

Will rewatch:
Guardians
Cap 1
Iron Man

Enjoyed, don't need to see again:
Cap 2
Iron Man 3

Bad:
Avengers
Avengers 2
Thor
Thor 2
Iron Man 2

I'm sorry, but the Ant-Man vs Falcon and Ant-Man vs Yellowjacket fights are pretty great too.

Thor 2 Portalfight is also up there (only thing I remember from that movie).

Can't think of another one I'd put next to them.

Moviefight.

That shot was never that clear in the movie itself, to its significant advantage. The sequence that it's part of (the dramatic face off in an airport before the fight starts, not the fight itself) is still atrocious and I wouldn't be surprised if it existed entirely for the purpose of letting them make that promotional shot.

Civil War loses all movie fights because Sebastian Stan is an aggressively strange looking man. It's like someone roughly described an attractive face to an artist who had never seen a face.
