I'm surprised to see the Thor 2 dislike. I really enjoyed it. I'd put Iron Man 2 at the bottom; it was kind of a mess.
My top three, in indeterminate order, would be Iron Man 1, Avengers and Captain America 2.
That sounds about right.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

I have to totally agree with Matt, in re Lee Pace in that role.
I've enjoyed/been impressed with nearly every role I've ever seen him in, but this performance sort of threw me out of the story.
I did not see Hobbitts 2: Electric Boogaloo, so maybe my assessment would be different, but I just don't see him as a bad guy...much less a super-world-killing monster.
It's his voice. Just doesn't have that kind of gravitas. Even as a cartoony villain.

6, 9 and 1. But I haven't seen GotG yet.
IM2 was godawful.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The character in the after-credits scene? Voiced by Seth Green.

That's great.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thor 2 was a cavalcade of idiocy that no one owned up to. It made me hiss and spit. And, as noted, it doesn't have an RDJ. Hemsworth showed zero charisma, did one cute thing.
I liked Lee Pace! It certainly feels like the season of Pace, what with Hobbits and Halt and Catch Fire and this. He was suitably angry and threatening for me.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I thought Thor 2 was a lot of fun. Not as good as the first one, but still enjoyable.
Then again, I like Iron Man 2 better than most folks (though it's not great like the original.) Haven't seen 3 yet.
The two Hulks are at the bottom of my list, though i'd still give the Norton Hulk a 3/5.

Thor 2 should have been subtitled "Thor and Loki re awesome together, and Frigga kicks ass."
I own Iron Man 2, and I fast forward through the birthday party. I love the particle accelerator parts. "We're back in hardware mode!"

I loved Iron Man 3 and The Incredible Hulk isn't bad, just mediocre in comparison to all the others.
He was suitably angry and threatening for me.
Me too.
