Iron Man was truly an amazing movie, anyone that wants to make a cinematic universe should look to this as a first step. It focused on Tony Stark, and the characters around him, but also had a few moments that set up future films. Batman v Superman should've focused on the conflict of the two heroes instead of being a feature length DC Extended Universe trailer, Iron Man successfully avoided that, and gave us something amazing.
The Incredible Hulk was actually a pretty good movie, it wasn't the Hulk movie we wanted, but it still managed to entertain, and give us some good scenes. The only problem is that whether this movie is actually still a part of the MCU due to Marvel pretty much disowning it.
Iron Man 2 was trash, although Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer was pretty good, and it introduced Black Widow to us. The villain should've been Ezekial Stane.
Thor was a solid film, but forgettable. Each scene mattered, and it did portray Loki and Thor's rivalry quite well. Yet, it is still just a filler movie, made so people will know the villain, and the blonde guy is in Avengers.
Captain America is one the most different films out there. The action scenes were alright, but what really was impressive was the quiet scenes that showed us what kind of person Steve Rogers is. Possibly the only MCU movie that kept me interested without showy fight sequences.
Avengers, what many consider the best marvel movie ever, is Joss Whedon at his finest. We got to see the character dynamic created in Firefly applied to comic book characters in a big way. If the ending fight scene with the avengers working together didn't get you excited, than the argument scene must of shushed you with tension.
Iron Man 3. When I saw the trailer of this movie with my dad, he exclaimed "this is going to be the best superhero movie ever." It wasn't. Definately my least favorite MCU film; what they did to Mandarin is unforgivable. That said, at least the first 30 minutes or so was pretty good.
Thor 2 was a less entertaining Thor 1.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a really awesome movie. It takes the quiet moments of the first one, and adds amazing action to the mix. After seeing this movie, the Russo brothers quickly became my favorite directing duo.
Guardians of the Galaxy should've failed, it should've been marvel first box office flop. Then it became one of it's most entertaining movies. The perfect casting choice of Chris Pratt as Star-Lord is all they needed for this movie to be good. Only one problem, James Gunn messed up the Nova Corps, I hope he fixes them in number 2.
Avengers: Age of Ultron is, in my opinion, better than the first avengers film. Every new character introduced was amazing, in fact, the film was so good that it made Hawkeye more cool.
Ant-Man is basically Iron Man, but smaller. While it'll never get the legendary status of Iron Man, it is better than that film in some ways. The funny parts are funnier, the cinematography is better, and the final battle is better.
Captain America: Civil War feels like the movie Marvel has been building up to. The giant white letters telling us when we are in a new place or time is the only bad part of the film. We finally got the Spider-Man we've been waiting for, and the airport fight scene is the best fight scene in MCU history. Russo brothers continued to deliver on great battles, and improved on the smaller conversation scenes. I vied for this movie.
