Of course you do, Anti_Disney_Bot. You would probably dislike the phase one movies as well if they were part of Disney. Oh my bad I meant Di$ney.

Aside from Iron Man and The Avengers, phase one is pretty weak.
I think I’m more of a phase two guy. Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the surprisingly delightful Ant-Man. It’s also around the time that Agents of SHIELD started getting good. Although, it does have Thor 2, a disappointing Avengers sequel, and the Mandarin reveal...
Phase three would be easy to choose but it’s almost not fair considering how many films are a part of it.

Captain America and The Avengers are the only phase one movies I like, but to each his own, I guess.

I know how you feel. Phase One used to be my favourites but then I saw Phase 6 and 7 and they really blew me away and things haven't looked the same since.

That's unfortunate. There has to be a Phase I Marvel appreciation board you can hang out on (or even start). Hee hee hee...

I've liked all of them, even the less impressive installments like Iron Man 2 or Thor: The Dark World.

The Phase 1 films still hold up. Marvel Studios was still trying to find its footing. I just wished The Incredible Hulk had more substance in terms of plot development, and would have liked to see a few things changed about Thor so it doesn't seem too much like a set-up film. So far, Phase 3 has been awesome.

Even though Phase 1 has the best buildup with The Avengers being the last film in that Phase, it might be my least favourite so far. It’s just that the movies from 2 and 3 were starting to impress more.

I think phase one was a nice foundation to build something but it never happened.

as the phases got further marvel should have gotten more mature, director driven and serious but we know today marvel movies are just dumbed down disney toy commercials for kids and the dumb masses.
ironic to see the way thor took. in phase 1, there was potential to be like lord of the rings for the future films. by phase 3 he is a joke and worse ....hulk is a joke too in thor jokenock.
yikes, cant blame ed norton for leaving. no way was he going to stoop so low.funny since the best hulk was ed in phase 1, the best thor film was thor 1 in phase 1.

But they have gotten more mature, serious and director driven - depending on if the director's vision matches well with continuity they are allowed to add their own style and flare to the material. Thor, the comic book, has never been like Lord of the Rings, in its heyday it was pretty much like the Ragnarok movie in style and tone. It was a love letter to Jack Kirby, no movie before has expertly replicated his art style. Edward Norton agreed to be in The Dictator, Sausage Party, Death to Smoochy, the remake of The Italian Job, Stone, The Bourne Legacy, Leaves of Grass, and be in an episode of Modern Family - don't act like he's Daniel Day Lewis or somebody along those lines. Also, Norton's ego is what caused the rift between him and Marvel Studios and that's why they parted ways; he wasn't being a team player. |

I think they were kind of lame from the start.
Iron Man had its moments but it had faults including the type of pointless banter that would only get much worse by Iron Man 2 (which was before Disney bought Marvel).
Captain America-same thing--some good things, but a lot of blandness. I cant even remember what happened to the red Skull that is how little an impact the film had. Mostly I remember him selling war bonds.
Ditto the Incredible Hulk. Not bad but not the best Hulk movie money can buy. In some ways it was cheaper made than the awful Ang Lee version.
Blade was the most energetic "normal" Marvel movie (not a fan of the Raimi Spider-mans). I don't think one could have asked for a better Blade movie.
None of the other Marvel films gave me the impression they were trying to make the best movie possible. More like painting by numbers.
