Following the recent release of the phenomenal Avengers: Endgame and the second Spider-Man: Far from Home trailer, I have decided to rank my favourite movie franchise, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The MCU is a juggernaut of a movie franchise overseen by Kevin Feige, that began with the release of Iron Man in 2008 and twenty one movies later doesn't seem to be showing signs of stopping anytime soon. Here is my ranking of all the MCU movies to date. Along with hyperlinks to my review of the movie [ I do plan on reviewing every MCU movie for Mac's Movies]:   22. Iron Man 2 21. Thor: The Dark World 20. Thor 19. Ant-Man and the Wasp 18. Iron Man 3 17. The Incredible Hulk 16. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 15. Avengers: Age of Ultron 14. Captain America: The First Avenger 13. Doctor Strange 12. Black Panther 11. Ant-Man 10 . Iron Man 09. Captain Marvel 08. Spider-Man: Homecoming 07. Guardians of the Galaxy 06. Thor: Ragnarok 05. C...

UK Release Date: 16 May 2018 Certification: 15 Director: David Leitch Cast: Morena Baccarin, Zazie Beetz, Josh Brolin, Julian Dennison, Stefan Kapicic, Shioli Kutsuna, Brianna Hildebrand, T.J Miller, Ryan Reynolds Rating : 78 % You're so dark. Are you sure you're not from the DC universe? Review: Deadpool 2 is by far the most entertaining movie of the X-Men universe. Deadpool does everything he does in the first movie but oh so much better. He is funnier, more violent and is more of a relatable character because of the plotline.   The introduction of new characters such as Cable, Domino and Yukio made the dynamics between the characters even better than the first one.  Cable makes for a great villain and anti-hero. And because Cable is played by Josh Brolin, Deadpool blatantly mocks his Thanos appearance, "Zip it, Thanos". Domino has great charisma and is a very interesting character with a significant amount of screen time. Deadpool 2 received gre...

UK Release Date: 10th February 2016 Certification: 15 Director: Tim Miller Cast: Morena Baccarin, Brianna Hildebrand, Stefan Kapicic,   T.J Miller ,  Ryan Reynolds, Ed Skrein  Rating:  88% Deadpool cosplay costume from Tracon 2018, Tampere, Finland. Review:   Tim Miller's 2016 Deadpool changed the comic book movie genre forever. Deadpool is no outright goody two-shoes superhero - he's no Captain America. He's sexy, sassy and sarcastic.  The movie embraces the fact that the original comic book Deadpool is an insanely violent character but is humorous at the same time. From his fourth wall breaks and his comic pop culture asides to his extremely messy way of getting things done, Deadpool makes for an unlikely likeable character.  Ryan Reynolds had been trying to play a proper Deadpool ever since the studio messed up Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and he is perfect in the role. He plays the funny side of Deadpool brilliantly, the...

UK Release Date: 12 December 2018  Certification: PG  Director: Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, Rodney Rothman  Cast: Nicolas Cage, Kimiko Glenn, Jake Johnson, Zoe Kravitz, Shameik Moore, John Mulaney, Chris Pine, Liev Schreiber, Hailee Steinfeld  Rating:   94 % I'm also a huge fan of Spider-Man on the PS4. Review: One of the greatest strengths of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse is the animation. The style means the movie is the closest thing to a comic book. All the Spider people have different animation styles - Spider-Ham looks like something from Looney Tunes, Peni Parker looks like Anime, Spider-Noir is black and white and Miles looks like he was lifted straight out of a Marvel comic. The only thing I didn't like about the animation was the way  Kingpin was portrayed - he was very wide. I don't mind the animators sticking to his comic book appearance, but really, he didn't have to be that huge! There have been a ...
