@mutant1230:
I assume that the other two are The First Avenger and The Winter Soldier?
Yeah.
If you don't mind me asking, what didn't you like about Civil War and Infinity War?
Civil War has overarching issues with its premise that prevent me from getting invested in its story. Tony agreeing with what the government are suggesting is really bizarre considering the death count they were rambling about would have been substantially higher had the Avengers been regulated and controlled. Someone as intelligent as he is falling for this really dumb/frankly nonsensical argument, and thinking him putting himself under the thumb of people with agendas is the answer, is both illogical and robs the conflict of any real weight. You never stop to consider the fact that Tony might be right, and that sours me on the whole experience. Throw in Zemo, who was an extremely poor villain, and you get a movie that's heavily dislikeable. The only real positives to it are the Cap/Bucky dynamic and Panther's arc, which just aren't enough for me. It's not bottom of the barrel terrible, but it's certainly not good, and would only get like a 4-5/10 from me.
As for Infinity War, my issue with it is that it's largely contingent on you liking prior MCU films. The cast is so big that their impact is diluted to a point where none of them really get a chance to make me care or feel, so the whole experience rings hollow. And since I find pretty much all the other MCU movies to be below average (a fine way to kill 2 hours, but not anything I particularly give a damn about or feel anything towards) the whole thing falls flat. Also not particularly fond of Thanos as a villain, but I digress. It'd probs get a 4/10 on the whole to be honest.
