There's so many...
Okay, so, I am a bit of an X-Men fanboy, and even though they aren't considered as good as a lot of the MCU movies, I can't help but favour them. Yes, even Last Stand... yes, even Apocalypse. Apocalypse has a special place in my heart because freaking Psylocke is in it and is cool as hell!
So if we can just grab all the X-Men movies and put them into a bundle as my #1 choice, then that would be great.
My #2 would be Avengers 3. Having seen ALL the MCU movies, this was an awesome culmination of them all. It was pure fanservice to see all those characters be in the same movie and work together to fight this one huge enemy, yet having the story of the movie have its main focus on the villain's perspective. It was just perfect. If you haven't seen all the MCU movies though, this movie is not for you, as it really doesn't explain anything about what is happening and who all the characters are.
At #3 I would put Guardians of the Galaxy 2. I love both of the GotG movies, but I just enjoyed this one a lot more, most likely because I was already introduced to the main characters. Usually the "origin" movies feel kinda slow to me, because they are made to introduce us to the characters, so when we get to the sequel, we already know who they are and can just enjoy their adventures.
My #4 is Thor: Ragnarok. The other two Thor movies were really boring to me. I never cared much for Thor, not even in the Avengers movies. Loki is so much more interesting, imo, and I loved him in the first Avengers movie, but Thor always fell short... until Thor: Ragnarok. I haven't laughed that hard for a looong time. Adding more humour to it than in the past movies made it so much better than most of the other MCU movies, imo.
And then my #5 is Deadpool. I haven't seen the second movie yet, but I'm gonna go see it this Tuesday... but the first movie was awesome! Ryan Reynolds is perfect in the role, it's funny, there's tons of cool action and it is just perfect as a Deadpool movie. I already said I wasn't much into origin movies, but they did an excellent job with this one. Hopefully Deadpool 2 will be just as good.
Honourable mentions:
- Black Panther. It was amazing, but at the same time, it felt a bit rushed. I would have loved to have gotten more exposition of Killmonger and M'Baku, both great characters, but not with a lot of screentime. Or rather, not enough screentime, imo. Okoye is so badass and I hope we see more of her.
- Avengers 1. Loki carries this movie through and through, and I love every second he's on the screen. Definitely one of my all-time favourite characters of the MCU.
Movies I am looking forward to:
- Black Widow. I love acrobatic femme fatale characters, and Scarlett Johansson is doing a great job with Black Widow. I hope her movie won't end up being cancelled.
