Of movies that are strictly MCU, I guess it's probably a toss-up between Iron Man, Avengers and Civil War.

People shit on it, but the characters in that movie were fantastic. In my mind, the mark of a good comic book movie is whether or not I'm interested in what's happening when there aren't super-powered people clobbering each other on screen and Ang Lee had me so goddamn riveted by the characters and their plight that I was more than happy to overlook the Hulk fighting giant poodles or the Absorbing Sky Man. I have never seen characters with such richness or depth in any other comic book movie and most "serious" Hollywood dramas fall short as well. Ang Lee is just great.

I actually really liked the action, but thought the plot and characters(outside of Banner) were terrible. Also, fuck Nick Nolte's retarded character in that movie. Just ridiculously awful.

But, I can watch his escape from the desert, and rampage into town all day. There are certainly some beautiful shots in that film.
 
Good call (Cecil Peoples: 29/28 testicles). Those two, plus BATMAN RETURNS and BLADE 1, I consider the gold standard of comic book flicks.

Yeah I just found it so dull. Fine performances and good characterization of Banner is one thing but I felt every minute of the running time of that film.

Sam Elliot's General Ross. > William Hurt's General Ross.

There's an element of that, sure. Thanos is a sadistic bastard at times. But he's also supremely arrogant(not completely without justification)and in the case of Thor with That Storm Breaker Look in his eye, it bit him in the ass. Thanos completely underestimated Thor because he had beaten him so easily the first time. Remember what Thor says to Trash Panda?

"He's never fought me twice".

The first time they fought, Thor was still recovering from the beating he took during Ragnarok; this was actually confirmed by the Russos themselves. By the time of the rematch, Thor is back at full strength and wielding one of the most powerful weapons in the universe. Thanos thought he could curb-stomp Thor like he did in the first match, not realising this was Healthy, Motivated, Full Training Camp Odinson. When Thor drives Storm Breaker into Thanos' chest, the Mad Titan isn't playing possum. It takes everything he has to pull out the win, and he goes through a near-death experience doing so.

I think you're under selling the Gauntlet. Stormbreaker appears to be mega powerful but it's still not the IG, the most powerful weapon shown in the MCU.
If Thanos wasn't sure he could take the blow and still accomplish his goal, why not use the space stone and send him to Hala or a Skrull planet or somewhere?

Again, Thanos was sure he could stop Stormbreaker with the IG. By the time he figured out it could cut through his defences, it was too late. As I pointed out, it's not the first time in the movie his arrogance came back to bite him in the ass. He could have killed all the Guardians when he kidnapped Gamora. Instead he left them alive, and Mantis was able to put him to sleep when they fought on Titan. If Starlord hadn't been such an A-Hole, Stark and the others would have managed to take the IG from Thanos.

Thank you for not assigning me NAMBLA, though ISIS is worse than the KKK.

Sorry bro, but you put your self on the no-fly ISIS list. Captain America and Winter Soldier are on your 'bored to tears' list( very very un'Murican thing to do), and the only Cap movie you liked was Civil War, which pitted good Americans against one another. There is only one conclusion to be made.
I'm going to ask a mod to change your name to Jihadi Dredd
