Disney+ has finally arrived in the UK, I'm trapped in my house, so I might as well take this time to finally write the article I was originally going to release alongside Black Widow, but then every film got delayed and so here we are... 23 movies, starting 2008 and ending in 2019, all about the world of Marvel and the heroes created in it to take on the massive gallery of villains. From Iron Man to Spider-Man: Far from Home, let's figure out which was the best and which was... the least-best. I like them all!
Obvious note: Some spoilers ahead, and only films are included. So no Daredevil here, sadly.
23. Thor: The Dark World
I don't think this is an unpopular opinion, but sometimes the majority of people are in the right for a reason. Thor; The Dark World is still a fairly fun film at times, but it tragically suffers from dull writing, lacklustre environments and the villain being the lowest on my other MCU-list that you can read right here. On the plus side, we got plenty of Tom Hiddleton.
Standing as the 8th film in the MCU, The Dark World is set after the events of The Avengers, with Thor (Chris Hemsworth) having to face off against an ancient race known as the Dark Elves, led by Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) and trying to stop them from obtaining the Aether, an Infinity Stone/Goo that is trapped inside Jane Foster (Natalie Portman). To do so, he teams up with Loki (Tom Hiddleston).
With the exception of Thor teaming up with Loki, nothing about this film is as bright or colourful as the previous Thor experiences, or as fun. Malekith is as dull as Steppenwolf, and this famous "Dark World" is a dry wasteland undeserving of a mention in the title. Some of the action is fun, especially during the climax, but there's a lot in Thor 2 to leave viewers bored. Let's hope Thor: Love and Thunder can redeem poor Jane.
22. The Incredible Hulk
I have seen 22 of these films in the cinema. The only one I never saw? The Incredible Hulk, released in 2008. Yes, Ang Lee's Hulk had been out for literally years now but the scars never heal... anyway, I regret this because The Incredible Hulk is pretty good. It's a big shame that this is the only Hulk film in the MCU so far, but that's how these stupid rights issues work...
Starring Edward Norton in his one performance as Bruce Banner, The Incredible Hulk follows Bruce as he tries to hide away from the world and keep his green side hidden. Of course, the government refuses to accept this and so General Ross (William Hurt) starts experimenting on his officer Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) to create a new stronger soldier...
Back in 2008, it was "incredible" to see a fully CGI Hulk destroy everything around him without it looking ridiculous or against poodles, and there is a very welcome savagery to Norton's Hulk that was somewhat softened during the Ruffalo years. Norton makes the Bruce role his own, but the film's biggest failing might be that it feels completely disconnected to the rest of the franchise. A different Bruce, a different Hulk design, and we've still never seen Tim Blake Nelson as the Leader. Please come back for Phase 4!
21. Iron Man 2
After the shocking triumph of Iron Man, the whole world was eager to see more of Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark as quickly as possible. Maybe that hype is why the film didn't come close to the standard it's predecessor set before. It wasn't a bad film, but there was a large sigh of disappointment around the world after it came out, and while I do think it's one of the lowest of the MCU, I still rather enjoyed rewatching it recently.
In the MCU's first sequel, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) returns with a new problem, in which he is suffering a fatal infection from his own arc reactor and having to find a cure. Meanwhile, Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) is out for revenge against the Stark family for the suffering of his own father, and has built some awesome weeaponry to take on Iron Man. There's also a smug rival to Tony known as Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), Tony's friend Rhodey (Don Cheadle) is worried about Tony's partying lifestyle, and even more on top of that!
So Iron Man 2 is a bit of a mess at times, with Mickey Rourke getting nowhere near as much screentime as the character needed to be interesting to the audience, despite the clear strength of the performance. It's still great to see Robert Downey Jr return and play the character we all know him as, as well as the first appearance of Black Widow, Rhodey adopting the War Machine moniker, and more shenanigans with Jon Favreau. There's good stuff here, but you have to sit through a lot of Tony-assery and subplots to get to it.
20. Captain Marvel
For some reason, this is one of my most-read reviews. Releasing in 2019, between Infinity War and Endgame, Captain Marvel was one of those films I had zero idea about going in. I knew Captain Marvel could absorb energy and was quite well-known within the comic books themselves, but it was fun to go in blind and finally see what's the big deal with her. And I stand by what I said about the film in my review... it's good.
Set in 1995, a member of the Kree race known as Vers (Brie Larson) is training to control her powers and serve her people proud against the evils of the shapeshifting Skrull. She lands on Earth, and secrets about her past and her abilities become clear to her, as well as the people she's working with and what's really going on with this war.
Captain Marvel is a good film that often feels like it should have been a part of Phase 1. It's got some good laughs, some heart and a few sweet action scenes, but it does go for a formula that most of us have seen a few times over by this point and are really growing bored of. That power-up scene is still badass though.
19. Iron Man 3
Did you know there's some out there who think this is the worst of the MCU? Yes, you're allowed to be wrong but stop trying to be wrong so easily, guys! It's not the first Iron Man or any of the movies surrounding it, coming in as the second-lowest of Phase 2, but Iron Man 3 certainly did a lot right that often gets overshadowed by people debating the Mandarin twist.
Set immediately after the events of the first team-up between the Avengers, Iron Man 3 has Tony Stark suffering from panic attacks and PTSD due to the situation involving the nuke and the portal in space. To make matters more difficult for him, a terrorist called The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) is taking up the news and pisses Tony off, causing a battle for the ages. Oh and there's a guy named Aldrich Killian played by Guy Pierce who is so obviously a villain his name has "kill" in it.
The action is a surprising step-up compared to 2, the comedy is nowhere near as obnoxious as Shane Black's 2018 bomb, and the Ben Kingsley is fantastic in every scene. It's great to see a new vulnerable side to Tony as well, and the kid he meets on his journey... isn't annoying! Gasp!
18. Thor
A lot of us didn't think Thor would work. Back in this day and age, it was still a shock to see Hulk done right and unlike other superheroes we had seen from Marvel and DC so far, Thor wasn't a normal guy. He was a literal Norse God! Could someone of that style and scale actually work? The answer is yes, if you get Kenneth Brannagh to direct and cast Chris Hemsworth!
In Thor's first film, Asgard is under conflict with the Frost Giants and the actions of the son of Odin (Anthony Hopkins), Thor, causes Odin to strip him of his power and hammer Mjolnir, and banish him to Earth to learn humility and what it means to be a God. Thor is on a time limit however because his brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) has a plot to take over Asgard, so Thor will quickly need to befriend Jane Foster and several other humans to find a way back.
It's easy to forget but this film was the first time we ever saw something like Asgard actually work within the MCU, and was a hint that almost any character or location could be adapted for these films. The actors are fantastic choices, Idris Elba makes an appearance which is always welcome, and the action was a nice change from what we had seen in the MCU so far. A bit too much time is spent on Earth, but at least we got the first cameo of Hawkeye, right?
17. Captain America: The First Avenger
Let me tell you a story. Me and a friend of mine both wanted to see a superhero film in 2011. He wanted to see Captain America, and I wanted to see.... Green Lantern. We saw both, and I fully admitted he was right. I just never thought Captain America could work in any way except a Michael Bay-esque power-fantasy. I was picturing Team America, not Captain America.
Directed by Joe Johnston, The First Avenger is set during World War 2 when everyone was fighting them damn Nazis. Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) wants to fight for his country, but is too weak and small to do so. This is when he's given a chance to take part in the Super Soldier experiment, and now suddenly he's a muscled fighter who can throw shields and take on the Nazi Commander Red Skull (Hugo Weaving).
The designs and setting of World War 2 are wonderfully crafted, bringing the infamous period of history to life, and the costume Captain America wears for the majority of the film is boss! Hayley Atwell steals the show as Peggy Carter whenever she's on screen, and there's some fun action sequences that I fully admit I never thought would work in a big-budget movie. This movie proved me wrong, and I love that it managed it. Too bad Red Skull was so one-note though.
16. Ant-Man and the Wasp
No film is more underappreciated in the MCU than this one, with the possible exception of 14th place. That's not to say people disliked it, but it rarely comes up in conversation and it was given the awkward spot of following right after Infinity War. Maybe people were hoping for more heavier drama due to the scale of Infinity War, but Ant-Man and the Wasp is a damn good solo experience.
Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) returns, under house arrest for his actions in Civil War, and looking forward to enjoying freedom. However, he has a dream about his love interest Hope's (Evangeline Lilly) mother, Janet (Michelle Pfieffer) who was trapped in the Quantum Realm years ago. So Hope and her father Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) get him to help out, while an enemy calling herself Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) stalks them.
The shrinking and giganting (not a word but whatever) is still a blast and a half, and the characters have a great chemistry. The climax is utterly mad with all these moving characters across the street all aiming for this one goal and fighting over it, we finally get to see the Wasp in action, and it's nice to have a film so late in the game that isn't part of the big scary overarching plot. Sometimes you need a breather, and that was this film.
15. Doctor Strange
I'm actually surprised at myself for how low Doctor Strange is. On the one hand, it has one of my favourite climaxes in the entirety of the MCU, Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular hero, and some of my favourite effects too. On the other hand, it takes a long time to stop feeling like Stark 2.0 and the studying montage is practically non-existent!
Doctor Stephen Strange, yes that's his real name, is a leading surgeon and doctor who is in a car accident that destroys his hands and leaves him unable to work. Desperate for anything that can fix him, he winds up in a school for sorcerers and begins to learn the mystic arts under the direction of The Ancient One (Tilda Swinton), while Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelson) tries to summon the evil Dormammu!
It's great to see real magic finally introduced in the MCU, unlike when Thor said "it's just science" to excuse what he can do, adding a whole new layer of possibilities for our heroes. The spells on display are great, I love Wong and, again I have to mention this, the final climax is brilliant. Doctor Strange himself takes a while to grow out of what we've seen before, but he fits comfortably in his new role once the first act is over with. Magical.
14. Avengers: Age of Ultron
And so we finally make it to our first Avengers movie, and I'm pretty sure a lot of people expected this one to be lower on the list. Well, I'm the guy who goes to bat for Age of Ultron, and I do it with pride. Age of Ultron is a messy film, yes, but there's some damn good stuff that we've all forgotten too, and I'm here to remind you of them!
The Avengers are back together to get Loki's staff and finally wipe out Hydra, but Tony is given a vision of the future that, coupled with his PTSD, causes him to panic and think he needs to do more to protect the planet. So he uses the Mind Stone in Loki's staff, mixes it with technology, and creates Ultron (James Spader). Ultron immediately goes mad, and now it's up to the Avengers to stop Ultron from wiping out all the squishies!
Ultron's decision to destroy is as rushed as it is inevitable, and the Thor subplot involving him hallucinating Ragnarok just feels in the way, but it's always great to see this core group of heroes interact. The party scene is so engaging that they could have made it an entire film and I'd probably be happy. Ultron is a sexy sexy bot, and we get the first ever appearance of one of my favourites, Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), as well as her brother Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson).
13. Spider-Man: Far from Home
Some will choose Homecoming, some will choose Far from Home. Both are viable answers that I totally get, but Far from Home loses a few points from me because of those two teachers and a bit too much teen drama that I just wasn't fully engaged with. That being said, I still got to see one of my childhood favourite villains in action, and more Spider-Man is always welcome in my life.
Following the events of Avengers Endgame, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is struggling from the pressure of people expecting him to be the next amazing Iron Man-like hero, when all he wants to do is have fun on his school trip and have a romantic situation with the girl he likes, MJ (Zendaya). The situation gets worse when monsters start appearing, and Peter is asked to help out a brand new hero going by the name Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal).
Everything I loved about this film, I've talked about in my review here, and none of that has changed. I still love Mysterio's updated effects, the action, the story, and the relationship between Peter and MJ. The film had the extremely difficult task of convincing me the MCU would have more to show after the departures of Captain America and Ironman, but it achieved it pretty damn well.
12. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
I'm not a spy fan! I know there's a large majority of you already raging at my controversial choice, and Winter Soldier is fantastic but... this is a list of my personal ranking and the spy theme is what takes it away for me. When it comes to comicbook films, I prefer the more colourful and flamboyant types, like Sam Raimi's Spider-Man or the majority of other MCU movies, which this film takes a step back from. And you're still mad, so let's just spend the rest of this entry praising the film to quench your bloodlust.
Steve Rogers is back and adjusting to life in the 21st century, slowly but surely. He's making a new friend called Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), while watching the love of his life Peggy Carter slowly pass away. Trouble is on the horizon however when Shield is discovered to have a dark secret and Steve must go on the run with help from Natasha Romanoff to avoid being killed by the mysterious assassin known as the Winter Soldier.
The action is incredibly fast and creative once again, the Falcon wings are awesome, and this is the film that convinced me Chris Evans was a fantastic choice for Cap. I'd enjoyed him in the other films, but Winter Soldier brought an entirely new layer to the character that finally landed everything I wanted to see from him, with that scene involving Peggy promising to never leave me. I think it's safe to say we can all forget about Captain America's 1990 appearance by now.
11. Ant-Man
How did it take so long for superheroes to get out a good heist film? An obvious match made in heaven, and yet it took until 2015 to get it! Well, get one we certainly did, and with a surprising yet perfect choice too. Filthy casuals scoffed at the idea of a character named Ant-Man, but the die-hard comic geeks were excited beyond belief to finally see this unique character come to life. As for me, I was... sceptical but intrigued.
Directed by Peyton Reed, Ant-Man is all about a criminal named Scott Lang who has been recently released from prison but is unable to get a real job due to his seedy past. He's eventually found by Hank Pym and his daughter Hope, who hire him to don the Ant-Man suit, learn the ways of the shrinking technology, and steal from the big bad Darren Cross (Corey Stoll).
I don't think any of us could have predicted how awesome the shrinking would be, and the amount of creativity on display is necessary and welcome for such a power. The climax between Ant-Man and Yellowjacket is hilarious, Paul Rudd is fit for a man now over 50 years old (I just thought that was important to mention), Michael Pena is the voice for one of the best jokes in the entire MCU, and this film somehow got Michael freaking Douglas in a superhero movie! How'd they manage that?! I mean, who's next, Christian Bale-oh wait, yes!
10. Black Panther
Ever since the first Avengers film came out, I had been screaming for the character known as Black Panther to enter the MCU. A mighty king, a great hero, an awesome design, all that lore, his abilities, and so much more would have been a waste to ignore. Well, it took longer than it should have but Black Panther finally arrived and it was damn worth it.
After his debut in Civil War, T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) returns to his home country of Wakanda, a hidden African nation with the greatest technology on the planet, as he is now to be made king. However, a new threat in the form of Kilmonger (Michael B. Jordan) has shown up to claim the throne so he can use Wakanda's power for conquest, and Black Panther finds himself questioning if his ancestors were right to keep Wakanda hidden.
Due to a managing mistake, the time that the effects department got to work on Black Panther was drastically cut, causing a lot of the CGI to look rushed and unpolished. However, the music and costumes were both deserving of their Oscars, Michael B. Jordan's villain is one of the best of any superhero film, and the themes presented are pretty daring for a film like this to talk about so forwardly. Finally, the king got what he deserved.
9. Spider-Man: Homecoming
We were all fed up with Spider-Man when this remake was on it's way. Sam Raimi's trilogy had had a tragic ending, Sony's "Amazing" duo were anything but, and our next Spidey was to appear in a film only two years after the loss of Andrew Garfield. Luckily, he showed up in Civil War first to give us a taste and... yeah, Tom Holland was great. We were more than ready for Homecoming after that.
Peter Parker's first film in the MCU is all about him trying to balance his school life with his superhero life. He wants to be a nerd with best boi Ned (Jacob Batalon), help his school's debate team and ask out a girl he likes, but he also needs to fights off the new villain Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton) and try to impress Tony Stark enough to earn a spot in the Avengers.
Unlike the school drama in Amazing, Homecoming manages to make every character in the school likeable or sympathetic (the update for Flash is one of my personal favourites), and the way the film brings a conceptually ridiculous character like Vulture into the spotlight is incredible! Michael Keaton's threat in the car? That deserves the finger kiss of an artiste!
8. The Avengers
Huh. Thought we'd get here sooner. Anyway, this film was a freaking miracle! Crossovers were common but this was the first time we'd ever seen something of this scale before! And unlike almost every other movie crossover, this one didn't suck! In fact, The Avengers was such a critical and box office success that it encouraged every company to try and copy them with their own crossovers, regardless of how much we told them that we didn't want the Men in Black to go to 21 Jump Street.
Loki has returned from his disappearance at the end of Thor, and is now going to use the power of the Tesseract and a scary staff to take over the world! To stop this threat, Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) calls in the Avengers. Captain America, Iron Man, the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo's first time as the green giant), Black Widow and Hawkeye. Then Thor jumps in too! Everyone is here.
From Coulson (Clark Gregg) and Fury, to Tony and Steve, to Thor and Banner, the film is rife with unique interactions that we all wanted to see. The action is exciting, the quips plentiful, the jokes hilarious. Everyone is on top form, giving it their all, and thanks to the patience shown beforehand by developing their origin films individually, we love these characters already and can just enjoy them being their funny selves. It's not a very deep or emotional experience, but the Avengers is full of the kind of hype and love for the source material that a film like this deserved.
7. Guardians of the Galaxy
Nobody expected this. "Who the hell are the Guardians of the Galaxy? Why is one of them a tree and one a raccoon? This is stupid. Marvel are already searching the bottom of the barrel!" And when this film came out, it was clear to everyone that if this studio gave it their all and brought the right minds in, they could make any property work!
Serving as the MCU's first galactic adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy is about a man named Peter Quill (the first ever appearance of muscled Chris Pratt) is kidnapped from Earth as a small child and must live the rest of his life in space under the title Star-Lord. When he finds a chance to make it rich by trading one of the Infinity Stones, he finds himself on the run from Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace) and teams up with a group of other weirdos, Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista), Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and Groot (Vin Diesel).
Guardians was a massive hit that took pop culture by storm. It brought the love for the 1980s back in the limelight, which I think is why so many films these days focus on the 80s in some way, and it got Chris Pratt every role he ever wanted. Hilarious characters, a beautiful range of colours for space that washed out Dark World's dark world from our minds, and the characters have such a fun dynamic that many other films would try and emulate these relationships for years to come. Let's hope James Gunn can make the magic happen again for Suicide Squad.
6. Avengers: Endgame
I was really arguing with myself on which of the two final Avengers would be above the other, but Infinity War... well, it has a big advantage that we'll get to in a second, but for now let's talk about the climax to everything we've been waiting for! The final showdown to defeat Thanos, stop his evil ways, and save the universe!
The Snap has wiped out half the population, and everyone's lives are changed forever. In a desperate bid to fix this, the remaining Avengers who aren't space-dust figure out a way to use time travel, get the Infinity Stones from past films, and undo what has been done. And eventually, this results in the big climax we'd all been waiting for.
That climax alone would make Endgame worthy of being in the top 10, but from the callbacks to the emotional changes to the perfect endings for several characters... I've rambled on about Endgame so much that the best I can do at this stage is just give you a link to my review.
5. Avengers: Infinity War
There was a lot of pressure for Infinity War, moreso than usual. We'd been waiting for literally years for Thanos (Josh Brolin) to get off his floating throne and start kicking ass, and there was this big worry that Thanos couldn't live up to our expectations. Not only did he do that, he surpassed them entirely in this film that might as well have just been called Thanos.
In the Avengers' third team-up movie, Thanos has finally decided he's done waiting and will get the Infinity Stones himself. With his minions at his side, Thanos travels from one location to the next, gathering the stones, killing a lot of people, and making some surprising sacrifices of his own. Oh and the Avengers try to stop him.
The character of Thanos is amazing, from the impressive CGI work to the way he explains his reasoning, it's absolutely engaging. The action scenes are a lot of fun, the drama is a lot higher than either of the Joss Whedon Avengers films, and once again, we get to see some new and interesting dynamics. I didn't know I wanted to see Spider-Man piss off Doctor Strange by accidently making fun of his name, but it turns out that's everything I ever wanted. Oh, and my review of it is here.
4. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
A lot of people would swap both Guardians films around, and I totally understand that, but while the first is somewhat tighter and better-paced, the emotional weight of the sequel, coupled with a much better-written villain and an interesting dive into Gamora's relationship with Nebula makes me prefer this one personally.
The group of characters are now a family of characters, even having a baby Groot, but more family issues show up when Quill is suddenly reunited with his father Ego (Kurt Russell), who is a "Celestial", and his assistant Mantis (Pom Klementieff). Meanwhile, Rocket and Groot find themselves in the middle of a mutiny on Yondu (Michael Rooker), partially caused by Gamora's sister Nebula (Karen Gillan).
I'm a big crybaby when it comes to any fiction, and Guardians 2 gets the honour of being one of the two in the MCU to make me sob. (Endgame was the other). The relationships between the characters are better-defined, Yondu gets a character change that's so well-written it doesn't end up feeling like a retcon, and baby Groot is adorable! BABY GROOT!!
3. Iron Man
A movie about a b-list superhero with no superpowers that was to begin an entire massive franchise and star an actor with a bad history of self-abuse and problems, directed by the guy who made Elf? It's safe to call Iron Man a risk, and one that paid off better than we ever expected. Now the MCU is the highest-grossing movie franchise of all time, with several of it's films having reached over a billion.
The origin of Tony Stark, where he started as a cocky playboy until he was kidnapped by terrorists who wanted to make him build a weapon. Instead, he built a badass robot suit and escaped. After returning home, Tony decided to upgrade the suit, become Iron Man, and stop his weapons from bringing so much destruction.
Robert Downey Jr has been an actor for many years, but this was nothing like we had seen him before, bringing forth the most famous comeback for any actor. People adored the use of machinery and science, and the charm and wit on display is unforgettable. Iron Man set the standard for all the rest of the franchise to follow, and despite the updates and changes made in the genre, this one still finds a way to stand the test of time.
2. Thor: Ragnarok
Not too long ago, it was reported that Chris Hemsworth had actually considered leaving the role of Thor, until Ragnarok came along. This isn't too surprising since before Ragnarok, Thor had become stale. He had moments of brightness, like the party scene of Age of Ultron, but he was nobody's favourite... God bless Taika Watiti!
In this third instalment in the Thor series, Thor is shocked to discover his brother Loki is still alive (again!) and has been masquerading as Odin. The two quickly pair up to get Odin back, but Odin passes away, revealing that their sister Hela (Cate Blanchett) is now free and going to attempt to rule Asgard. Thor and Loki are swiftly beaten by her and end up on planet Skaar, where Thor is shocked to discover his old friend Hulk is living as a champion!
Unlike The Dark World, Ragnarok's galaxy is as bright and fun as Guardians, but full of enough clever changes to make it not feel like a copy. The new characters like Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Watiti) and the Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum) are amazing fun, Mark Ruffalo is giving his best Hulk performance, the comedy is hysterical, and Thor finally gets to loosen up and be more in line with the party animal he was meant to be. A "noble frat bro". My only complaint? This is going to sound silly but, even though I laugh every time, maybe one or two of the emotional moments didn't need a joke in there. That's just me though. Much like Thor, I spent the whole film screaming "YES!"
(If you're someone who dislikes Thor: Ragnarok, then you'll be surprised to discover that you are not alone! Hear out my friend at "Why it Doesn't Work for Me" here for a very different opinion on the film!)
1. Captain America: Civil War
#TeamIronMan. And what's great about this film, unlike a certain other "superhero versus" film that came out the same year, Civil War's main cause is at least understandable from both perspectives. To this very day, I will fight for Iron Man against a certain someone, and they will fight for Captain America, and that's just one of the reasons this film is the best.
In Captain America's third outing, the results of Winter Soldier weigh heavily on Steve Roger's mind. So when his brainwashed buddy shows up again and is accused of killing the king of Wakanda, Steve knows he can't trust the government anymore and refuses to hand Bucky over. However, Tony is suffering from his fatal choices in Age of Ultron and knows that superheroes need limits, so he opposes Steve's plan. Eventually, this results in lines being crossed, hearts being broken, and a sinister foe known as Helmut Zemo (Daniel Bruhl) working in the shadows.
The kid in me just adores seeing Spider-Man, Black Panther, Ant-Man, Black Widow and more all together or apart to kick ass in the same scene, but the super-manly-adult in me is aware that these scenes wouldn't land if the conflict wasn't so well-constructed and thought-out. What's great to me personally about this film is how it feels like a major pay-off for watching the first two phases, as Winter Soldier, both the Avengers films, and all the Iron Man films all connect to the development of these characters and why they are making the decisions they make. Also, Spider-Man fought a giant Ant-Man while Black Panther and Captain America had a fistfight. How much more fun can one film handle?!
