Ranking the 33 Marvel Cinematic Universe films so far, from Iron Man to The Marvels

6. Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2

Gunn is the best filmmaker to ever work in the MCU, and his Guardians of the Galaxy films are the gold standard for this series as a whole. The second installment richened the characters while also giving Michael Rooker’s Yondu one of its best character arcs. Kurt Russell was such an inspired bit of casting as Ego, and the film just packs such a wallop with its deeply emotional finale. We dare you not to cry at what happens during the Cat Stevens needle drop.

5. Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3

Gunn’s final outing in the MCU with his Guardians was also one of the best MCU films, period. Exploring Rocket Raccoon’s heartbreaking backstory and welding that with its main story arc just hit like a ton of bricks, as Gunn refused to let this one pass him by without a statement. The film’s final dance scene to Florence & The Machine is just such a joyous summation of why these movies worked so well and why they’ll be so missed in Gunn’s hands.

1. Guardians of the Galaxy

The pinnacle of the MCU was also its greatest risk, as it took a genre filmmaker who had never worked with this big a canvas before in Gunn and some of Marvel’s most obscure characters and made a masterpiece out if it.

Guardians of the Galaxy essentially changed the way that superhero movies could be made, adding in a cosmic sense of irreverence and a template for building lovable characters out of oblong sketches. It launched Chris Pratt to stardom and turned Rocket Racoon and Groot into household names. It also showed how putting in the right amount of heart and pathos can essentially make even the strangest of characters the most cheerworthy of heroes.

We’re not sure the MCU will ever top the first Guardians film, as it’s the shining standard for what Marvel movies can be. Take risks; hire good filmmakers who fit the mold and let them cook; cast wisely; let these things breathe without so much responsibility to the grander universes. If we can get at least one more movie from Marvel as great as this, it’s a huge win.
