Huh, I’d put both of those in the top ten, and Guardians 2 might be #1. Most of the others are kinda cinematically flat, and any time they have any kind of political themes (which is a lot of the time, actually!) it’s always frustrating because they don’t follow through (too risky, I guess?), which those two mostly avoid. Also, the pop music thing is kinda a cop-out, but damn, at least it’s better than almost-impossible-to-remember temp-music copycats in the rest. I can see how someone who preferred the tone of the earlier films would dislike those two, though. I’m personally not thrilled that their influence has spread to the rest of the franchise as much as it has—just because that tone works well in some of them, doesn’t mean they should all be like that, and with so many films it’s much nicer to have more variety, but I guess the producers are following the money. At least we can all agree Thor 2 is last. Thought I’d allow arguments for Avengers 2. [edit] wait, Thor 3 or 4? 4 is the closest I’ve felt to the first time I watched Attack of the Clones, and it wasn’t even because of Natalie Portman. Yes, that one’s bad.
