Counting down from 4........
4. Spider-Man 2- This franchise has joined anything DC comics on my boring list. I know that they have a grand plan for making a spider man universe, but I am done. I understand that they want to follow the MCU model, but it really feels like they are just making movies for the sake of making movies. Ill see if they get better over the next few years, but for now, I think I am done with this one. Too bad; spidey is probably my favorite comic book character.
3. X-Men: Days of Future Past- This was a really solid movie. The X-men franchise paved the way for the wave of comic book movies to follow and did some things right and some things wrong. To me, this movie felt like an acknowledgement from the studio of the mistakes (lack of foresight and continuity errors galore) throughout the franchise and was a nice way of rebooting it while keeping the characters in tact. I will likely see this one again before the next movie comes out in a couple of years. I like the direction that they are going and hope they keep it up!
2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier- After the other phase 2 movies which went from ok (Iron Man 3) to meh (thor: the dark world), I thought this one knocked it out of the park and sent a ripple through the whole MCU. Leaving the theater, I couldn't wait to get the movie on DVD. The elevator scene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqIBGEcKhGs) was one of my favorites in a movie. I thought the story was great, the acting was good and the directing was pretty good. It more than served its purpose, which was to keep people intrigued about what comes next.
1. Guardians of the Galaxy- I don't want to hype it up too much, but it was a very very enjoyable movie. And it was a group of characters I had never heard of, which was even more impressive.
That is my list, what about you?
