Marvel Cinematic Universe Rankings

With 14 films already in the bag and another eight in development, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is ripe for the ranking.  I recently made it to a new theater that opened near my house to view Marvel's latest installment, Doctor Strange.  As you will be able to tell from my list below, it was a very good entry in the series and opens the door to allow Marvel access to a lot of mystical elements of the comics that previously had only been dabbled with in the sci-fi films of Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy.  Alternate realities and astral planes hadn't been something the people of Earth were aware existed.

Other than a strong antagonist, which is a constant complaint with Marvel's movies but Mads Mikkelsen does a better job than most of his fellow Marvel villains at presenting a little more meat to the role of Kaecilius, my only real beef with the movie was Rachel McAdams.  I feel she is highly overrated as an actress and could easily be replaced by someone with actual talent.

Here is my list of Marvel's cinematic universe movies from worst to best.

14. Iron Man 2
13. Thor: The Dark World
12. Captain America: The First Avenger
11. The Avengers
10. The Incredible Hulk
9. Iron Man 3
8. Avengers: Age of Ultron
7. Ant-man
6. Thor
5. Doctor Strange
4. Captain America: Civil War
3. Iron Man
2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
1. Guardians of the Galaxy
