Iron man 3 (2013)

The best part about this movie was the ending credits. Not only because it signified the end of the film, but also because it was the only artistic part. It had potential in the beginning and some of the situations were aggressively real, but Tony Stark took a ridiculous amount of damage and miraculously survived some highly unbelievable situations as well. One thing that made the original Iron Man and The Hulk great was the connection to reality they kept. Tony Stark should have died in various situations in this film, he survives overkill somehow. In the Thor movies, that was ok, because Thor is an Alien. Tony Stark however is human. This was really an unneeded portion in the Iron Man series. We don't need to know Tony Stark is having anxiety attacks.

4/10

VERDICT: DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH IT

Thor (2011)

The screenplay was far too cliche for my taste. Drab. Directing also presented nothing unique. I'd have liked if Zak Penn had penned the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. I'd have given this a 4, however the story it is involved with feels so great that it gets bumped up into a....

5.0/10 (based on the story, not necessarily the story structure of this film)

VERDICT: SKIP IT (UNLESS WATCHING THE ENTIRE MCU)
