This is the last one I'll do of these. Nowadays Superhero movies are your main big blockbuster action movies so I thought I'd compare them to some classic 80's and 90's action movies and again just tell me which you prefer.
The match ups won't be too comparable but don't worry about it.
Iron Man vs Robocop
The Incredible Hulk vs The Terminator
Iron Man 2 vs Lethal Weapon
Thor vs Predator
Captain America vs Saving Private Ryan
The Avengers vs Aliens
Iron Man 3 vs Die Hard
Thor Dark World vs Total Recall
Captain America Winter Soldier vs True Lies
Guardians of the Galaxy vs Raiders of the Lost Ark
Avengers Age of Ultron vs Terminator 2
Ant-man vs Speed
Captain America Civil War vs Mission Impossible
Doctor Strange vs The Matrix
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 vs Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Spider-man Homecoming vs Air Force One
Thor Ragnarok vs Beverly Hills Cop
Black Panther vs Blade
Avengers Infinity War vs Rambo First Blood Part 2
Ant-man and the Wasp vs The Rock

All of these MCU flicks are inferior to the films listed, and that's not even a slam on them. There are some classics on there!
ETA: oh, except Beverly Hills Cop. Meh.

Avengers Infinity War vs Rambo First Blood Part 2 It could be Uma Thurman/Ralph Fiennes Avengers vs Rambo First Blood Part 2 and the former would still win easily |

I'll probably take Spiderman over Air Force One, but besides that the action movies win. There are some classics here. Winter Soldier is one of the greatest, if not my favorite, comic book movies ever, but it is no match for True Lies.

Most of these choices required no thought for me.
Iron Man vs Robocop -- I was never a huge Robocop fan as a kid
The Incredible Hulk vs The Terminator
Iron Man 2 vs Lethal Weapon
Thor vs Predator
Captain America vs Saving Private Ryan
The Avengers vs Aliens -- This was probably the hardest call on the list. I love the hell out of both movies, but the intensity and tone of Aliens is superior.
Iron Man 3 vs Die Hard
Thor Dark World vs Total Recall
Captain America Winter Soldier vs True Lies -- TWS is my favorite MCU film and I was never a big True Lies fan. It was a spoof of an Arnold movie to a lesser degree than Last Action Hero
Guardians of the Galaxy vs Raiders of the Lost Ark
Avengers Age of Ultron vs Terminator 2
Ant-man vs Speed -- Can't pick a winner as neither film stands out in its own genre to me
Captain America Civil War vs Mission Impossible -- Honestly a draw. The first MI is the only one I've enjoyed, the rest have been terrible. CW is solid but not as rewatchable as most of the MCU
Doctor Strange vs The Matrix
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 vs Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Spider-man Homecoming vs Air Force One -- Draw. Both are respectable but I don't love either of them
Thor Ragnarok vs Beverly Hills Cop -- Another tough one. Ragnarok is highly entertaining but BHC is Eddie at Prime Eddie.
Black Panther vs Blade -- I would've voted Blade II over BP, but the first one didn't do it for me.
Avengers Infinity War vs Rambo First Blood Part 2 -- Maybe a bit of an upset in my own mind, but I have to go IW. So many incredible character moments in a crowded film that still packed the drama.
Ant-man and the Wasp vs The Rock

Not a huge surprise for me, but the only MCU winners here are Winter Soldier and Infinity War.

Iron Man vs Robocop
The Incredible Hulk vs The Terminator
Iron Man 2 vs Lethal Weapon
Thor vs Predator - Actually a tough call for me.
Captain America vs Saving Private Ryan - Strange one, considering SPR isn't really what I consider an action movie...but it is WWII
The Avengers vs Aliens - Tie
Iron Man 3 vs Die Hard
Thor Dark World vs Total Recall - But barely, re-watched TR recently and it doesn't hold up well, at least for me.
Captain America Winter Soldier vs True Lies
Guardians of the Galaxy vs Raiders of the Lost Ark
Avengers Age of Ultron vs Terminator 2
Ant-man vs Speed
Captain America Civil War vs Mission Impossible
Doctor Strange vs The Matrix
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 vs Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Spider-man Homecoming vs Air Force One

Saving Private Ryan is an action flick? I guess there's action in it but I don't think I'd put it alongside Die Hard and Robocop. The only ones where I would pick the Marvel film over the 80s/90s flick is Civil War and Winter Soldier but that's more to do with the match-up being a slightly lesser film. A lot of these action movies are bonafide classics so it's a fun exercise but the comparison is uneven. Picking some the best action films of the 80s and 90s and comparing them to all the Marvel movies, which vary in quality, is like picking a team of all the NBA greats and putting them up against the current roster of the Houston Rockets. Yeah, the Rockets are pretty good but they're not going to beat a hypothetical team with Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird. Also, if you're picking Iron Man over Robocop... just no.  |
