What I've seen and enjoyed:
X-Men (from the 2000's). First Class. Days Of Future Past. Sam Raimi Spider-Man. Blade 1+2.
What I've seen and didn't enjoy:
Iron Man. Avengers 1. The Amazing Spider-Man. X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Daredevil.
It feels like Marvel's earlier movies were better? From their MCU stuff I get the vibes of tokusatsu but it takes itself way to seriously and the Joss Whedon banter is so reddit it hurts.
Thoughts?
Captain America 1 and 2 are enjoyable imo. I don’t think 2 relies on the viewer doing much homework besides the first movie.
The first is obv a WW2 war movie while the second is a “political thriller” about Nazi stand-ins infiltrating the US govt. It’s the most grounded of the MCU and probably the best of the bunch.
