POLL: Which "Phase 2" Marvel Movie Do You Think Was The Best?

POLL: Which "Phase 2" Marvel Movie Do You Think Was The Best? POLL: Which "Phase 2" Marvel Movie Do You Think Was The Best?

Marvel's "Phase 2" kicked off Iron Man 3 in 2013 and concluded earlier this month with Ant-Man. It's been a fun few years for us comic book fans as a result, but which of these movies stands out as the best as we ready ourselves for "Phase 3"? Cast your vote after the jump!

Feature Opinion

Over the past three years, Marvel Studios have released a total of six movies (Warner Bros. on the other hand have had only one DC Comics adaptation in theaters). They're a varied bunch, and while some have divided opinions more than others - can we please move on from that Mandarin twist in Iron Man 3? - each and every one of them have definitely had their fair share of good points. 

"Phase 2" featured three big solo sequels, two risky adaptations, and the follow-up to the biggest superhero movie of all-time. All of them have succeeded though (some even far exceeded expectations), and as "Phase 3" nears with Captain America: Civil War on the horizon, there's simply not stopping Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige. Hell, they even have Spider-Man back now! 

The question now is, which of these movies was your favourite? Here's your chance to let us know!

The Winter Soldier, hands down

GOTG, and Ant-Man rocked though

This isn't even a damn contest. Everything Marvel put out in Phase Two was at least decent (with the possible exception of Thor: The Dark World)... but if you're asking what the BEST was, it's Captain America, all the way.

The only one that even came close top beating it was Guardians of the Galaxy. 2014 was a good year for Marvel.

Iron Man 3 was just terrible, don't even bring it up.

Most disappointing CBM ever made (notice I didn't say "worst")

I believe in the Russo's!

1. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
2. CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER
3. ANT-MAN

1. TWS
2. GotG
3 or 4. AoU
3 or 4. IM3
5. Ant-Man
6. TDW

I enjoyed them all. I was slightly disappointed in Dark World, because it didn't manage to improve on the 1st movie.

Iron Man 3 had the smartest script, Guardians and Ant-Man the most heart, Cap had the best performances, and AoU the best flat out action.

1.CATWS
2.Guardians
3. Ant-man

Really all three though could be tied. and I would watch one over the other depending on my mood. They're all so different

I would say The Winter Soldier based on Quality alone but I'm a sucker for the cosmic side of Marvel

SauronsBANE - 7/24/2015, 2:20 PM
Yep, easily The Winter Soldier.

1) Captain America: The Winter Soldier
2) Guardians of the Galaxy
3) Avengers: Age of Ultron
4) Iron Man Three
5) Ant-Man
6) Thor: The Dark World

With another re-watch or two, I'd be open to switching AoU with GotG. But for now, this is how I'd rank 'em.

But, none of this will matter once the GOAT drops in February. Deadpool will kill the Marvel Universe again. Mark my words.

as much as I love Guardians, Ant-Man and Avengers 2, Winter Soldier is hands down the best in Phase 2.

@MercwithMouth Aw dammit man, I gotta reputation to maintain! People can't be seeing that we have the exact same MCU tastes...

...well okay, except when it comes to defending Iron Man 3. Screw everyone who doesn't like that movie!

Hello, internet people! I've been creeping around this website for a few years now and today of all days I decided to jump in and join y'all! I'm an easygoing guy looking forward to chatting with you all!

And to the topic at hand, my vote unquestionably goes to Winter Soldier. For me, it's the best MCU film to date (though my favorite is probably Thor).

I loved AOU, GOTG, CA:TWS, and ANT-MAN equally. I really liked IM3, and THOR: TDW was enjoyable.

To me my personal favorite was Guardians. Yet The Winter Solider was probably the "best" movie. Perfect pacing and fights, yet still very human story and well written.

Guardians was still just too fun. IMO.

Age of Ultron was fantastic, yet still had several terrible things I think.

The BW/Hulk thing, the very inconsistent pacing and it just wasn't long enough. It jammed so much in it didn't allow anyone to breath.

I think if they had of left in some of the deleted scenes and cut the BW/Hulk romance it would have made a much better movie.

Iron Man 3, Ant-Man and Thor The Dark World were all great, but not on par with the others above.

For me it's:

1. Guardians Of The Galaxy
2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
3. Avengers: Age of Ultron
4. Ant-Man
5. Iron Man 3
6. Thor: The Dark World

Even though I liked all of those on the list, Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World had a been there done that kind of feel.

Age Of Ultron was great yet had some terrible eye rolling moments.

All the others were fantastic were much better than my expectation of them.

1. GOTG (8.5/10)
2. CAP: TWS (7.5/10)
3. ANT-MAN (5/10)
4. AOU (4/10)
5. THOR: TDW (3/10)
6. IM3 (1/10)

Overall pretty mediocre. Hope phase 3 improves
