Throwback Thursday - Marvel Top 5 - What would you pick?

Apr 23, 2015

Share on Reddit
Throwback Thursday, a weekly article in which we look back at our favorite TV episodes from over the years. 

Sometimes I wonder why I agree to write an article compared to our vast range of writers and reviewers who nail it every time and I talk a load of geeky rubbish. Unfortunately for you guys its time for more geeky rubbish from me (next time maybe I'll do a video)

Being the pain that I am for my second Throwback Thursday I’m breaking the rules once again. Last time I did my list of top Christmas based episodes. This time with Marvels Avengers: Age of Ultron being released today (in the UK at least) I thought I would do my top 5 Marvel Cinematic Universe films.

What are your Top 5 picks? Let us know in the comments below.


#5 Captain America: The Winter Soldier



Captain America is trying to settle into life in the future and has joined S.H.I.E.L.D however everything is not as it seems. Turns our HYDRA is alive, Fury is dead, then he is not dead and his best friend who died is still alive and Black Widow can kick ass no matter what the situation.

With one of the biggest twist of the MARVEL movies so far bringing HYDRA back in a big way. This didn't just impact the Captain America movies but the whole entire Marvel universe. That alone is the reason why this deserves to be in the top 5. Superhero films can be very political without losing its roots.

Memorable moment: The apple store scene, much needed humour in such a serious movie. "Specimen"

#4 Thor



Kenneth Branagh may not have been a director you would think would take on a superhero movie with his Shakespearean background. However it worked brilliantly. Introducing Thor to the world in a big way but keeping the story of two brothers at war grounded and giving us a clear back story to our favorite Norsk god.

I must admit when I first watched this movie I didn't enjoy it. After a few watches however I have grew to love it a lot more.  This is possibly the best Marvel film for developing the background of one of our favourites heroes and most loved villains.

Memorable moment: Any scene with Kat Dennings. "meow meow"


#3 Ironman



Marvel took a big risk. A superhero that was not a house hold name that soon became the back bone to all future Marvel films. With Robert Downey Jnr nailing Tony Stark and giving us a comic book hero story that hit all the right notes. This is still the strongest of the Ironman trilogy and the story of how Ironman came to be.

This is the film that started this whole journey. Robert Downey Jnr embodied the character from the get go, and won over audiences around the world as the metal man thatn can fly. Bringing a character hidden in the background for so long to be the main man going forward.

Memorable moment: The test flight and building videos. "I am ironman"

#2 The Avengers





I can't remember a film of such high anticipation and with some many heroes wondering how any type of story could meet the expectations. Joss Whedon showed us all what was possible with comic movies. Humour, action and most importantly a good story staying true to the stories before it and moving the characters forward for the next phase.

Memorable moment: Amazingly Hulk steals the show with the sneaky punch to Thor and showing Loki who is boss.

#1 Guardians of the Galaxy




Another big risk by Marvel. I personally had never heard of the guardians and after hearing about the characters and story I thought this could never work. How wrong I was. This was simply pure entertainment from the start of that dance. A group of misfits fighting to save the universe without a plan (well 10% of a plan) on how to do it. Age of Ultron has a lot to do rise to this standard.

Memorable moment: That "Come and get your love" intro. From that point on everyone knew this film was special.

Do you agree with my top 5? Let me know below. I am now on my way to the IMAX to watch Age of Ultron, I wonder if it would make it into my top 5?

  1. I agree with Guardians, Marvel's best thus far IMO, although Captain America 2 was better in terms of plotting, but Guardians was just incredible in its execution.


    Today I'm watching Age of Ultron, crossing my fingers so it takes top position on the list

  2. My five, in fluctuating order, would be "The Avengers", "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Captain America: The Winter Soldier", "Captain America: The First Avenger", and "Iron Man".

  4. 1) The Avengers - Still nothing really beats the entertainment of the first film
    2) Age of Ultron - Which may take the top place once I see it again. I really loved it.
    3) Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Thriller, tightly scripted, Cap shines
    4) Guardians of the Galaxy - So much fun!
    5) Iron Man - There is something to be said about the movie that kicked it all off, still really great after all these years.

  10. 5. The Avengers
    4. Big Hero 6
    3. Guardians of the Galaxy
    2. The Amazing Spider-man 2
    1. Iron Man 3



    I'm always surprised to see so many people put Captain America so high, for me it's down at the bottom with the X-Men and Toby Maguire Spider-man movies.

  11. My list is basically the same, but out of order.


    1. The Avengers
    2. Thor
    3. Ironman
    4. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
    5. Thor: The Dark World


    Honorable Mention - Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America: The First Avenger


    If we're going to include the X-Men series the first X-Men movie is my favorite of those.

    ReplyDelete
  12. My Top 5 would probably include: The Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, X Men Days of Future Past & Guardians of the Galaxy. Not sure about the order, though. Thanks for sharing, CJ! :)

    My list:
    Captain America: The Winter Soldier
    The Avengers
    Iron Man
    Thor
    Thor:The Dark World


    Guardians of the Galaxy isn't too far behind and I don't like the X-men or Spiderman movies.

    ReplyDelete
  14. X-Men and Spider-Man aren't MCU films.

    ReplyDelete

    2. Captain America The Winter Soldier
    3. Avengers
    4. Guardians of the Galaxy
    5. Iron Man

  17. 1/2. Winter Soldier/GotG (I honestly can't choose)
    3. The Avengers


    It's been too long since I've seen Iron Man so I can't really rate it, but I know it's considered the best movie other than the 3 above, possibly even better than The Avengers.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I agree. It is impossible to choose between those movies because they are awesome in a totally different way. And I would have "The first avenger" on place four (I don't care what anyone else says, the movie is great) and Iron man on place five. Though I expect that he will fall out of the top 5 in two days. I hope.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Yeah!!!! That's my top five too! (though Winter Solder and GotG are pretty much set as the top two for me).
    Everything else kind of lumps under those five, though The Incredible Hulk is easily my last fav.

    ReplyDelete
  20. The First Avenger is underrated, true. While not without its flaws, I think it's better than both Thors and (without a shadow of a doubt) Iron Man 2 & 3.

    ReplyDelete
  21. 1. The Avengers
    2. Guardians of the Galaxy
    3. Thor
    4. Ironman
    5. Captain America: The Winter Soldier

    I've watched Age of Ultron, but nope, not even close to #5 XD

    ReplyDelete
  22. So what are they?Can you specify?

    ReplyDelete
  23. The MCU movies are made by Marvel Studios and distributed by Disney. The others are distributed by Fox or Sony. This means that the X-Men and Spider-Man don't exist in the same universe as the Avengers (though apparently they're planning on bringing in Spider-Man to the MCU).

    ReplyDelete
  24. I've seen every installment in the MCU so far and I have to say, they have yet to make a truly bad film/short/TV episode. That said, I do have my favorites. As far as the movies go, my top 5 are:
    5. Iron Man
    4. The Avengers: Age of Ultron
    3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
    2. The Avengers
    1. Captain America: The First Avenger

    ReplyDelete
  25. Thanks for the info,i really had no idea.

    ReplyDelete
  26. You're welcome. :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Great list!
    Almost identical to my top 5. (I'd skip Thor and mess around with the order a bit...)

    ReplyDelete
  28. My top 5. 1 2 and 3 are very close



    1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
    2. Avengers: Age of Ultron (Only reason it isn't first is brutasha)
    3. Guardians of the Galaxy

    4. The Avengers
    5. CA: The First Avenger or Iron Man
