Of these, there only maybe three that I greatly liked--Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, and Iron Man--and two that I "just" liked--Iron-Man 3 and Captain America; the rest I thought quite weak, in varying degrees of weakness.
My three least favorites, though, would have to be The Avengers, a bombastic and overwrought show of special effects and little characterization or emotion; Thor, which i found mainly turgid; and The Amazing Spider-Man, which struck me as particularly badly-filmed for a summer blockbuster, but then I was spoiled by the "original" (original? It's only a few years ago!) Spider-Man movies, which were grand little movies for summer blockbusters.
Thank you for the compliment. I've had people try to explain to me what "counts" and what doesn't, and I apologize for not understanding even still. They're all comic-book movies based on the same company's product, no? I understand there's that "shared universe" (a concept I don't like, as I've written elsewhere recently), but I don't understand why some "count," despite not showing up with some other character (yet?), and some don't. But I am a layman in this regard, as you say, who tries to give an honest opinion.
