Master EffeX 1/3 Fact, 1/3 Fiction, / 1/3 somewhere In Between

Member Seen 1 day ago

I say "sets" in place of franchise, because the MCU for instance is BIG. I mean go for it if you fancy, but if you'd rather rank the sequels, trilogies, quadrilogies within the MCU instead, that works. To be clear, this board is for all kinds of movie sets : ) so rank the Fast and the Furiouses, the Harry Potters, the Terminators, the Traveling Pants', The Land Before Times. Whatever set(s) ya' like!

These rankings are not to say "this movie is a better movie than this one", just how they personally resonated with you.

You can talk a little about your ranking, or you can just point blank rank with no explanation.
Feel free also to Quote/Mention somebody's ranking if it's the same set as yours, for the interest of comparing lists!
(even if you never speak on such. Ha).

So for me, I'm going to start with some MARVEL, and for MCU I'm actually going to rate which sub-sets (of trilogies or quads, aside from 'The Avengers') I like as compared to each other, rather than the individual movies within them:
  • Iron Man Trilogy
    (Each time I've watched it, by the end, I feel like I watched a cool, satisfyingly complete story).
  • Captain America Trilogy
    (I have the most even liking of these movies. Each is as good as the other).
  • Spider-Man Trilogy
    (MCU Spider-Man is my favourite, could almost be 2nd on this list, but, reasons).
  • Thor Quadrilogy
    (The world building and score of the first really pulled me in. I don't mind the second like most seem to, but the 3rd and especially 4th have gone in a direction that just isn't my mug of grog).


X-MEN (I do not support abuse of any kind. I'm just responding to the art):
  • X2: X-Men United
    (I feel less like I'm watching a movie, and more like I'm getting a window into a world).
  • X-Men
    (The intro to that window).
  • X-Men: Days of Future Past
    (Might swap with Apocalypse after a rewatch, but I like what it does -or rather, undoes ; ) )
  • X-Men: Apocalypse
    (Got a new appreciation for this one after watching the commentary/Making Of).
  • X-Men: The Last Stand
    (Tricky to place after learning stuff. But I think in this slot as it's still a continuation of the world set up in 1 and 2).
  • X-Men: First Class
    (Reverse of the first: feels less like a window into a world and more like a movie for me, so just less immersive for me personally).
  • Dark Phoenix
    (The first time I watched, my attention divided by the end, and the second time, I was feeling its length. So something just doesn't hold me with this one. I mean to the commentary's mentions of their wanting this one to be the most grounded all I could think was 'this one feels the least realistic to me' + the alternate/deleted ending was SO much better! Especially as this movie marks the end of the FOX-Men era/shift to MCU).
  • Wolverine
    (I just enjoyed this ride the most of the Wolverine ones).
  • Logan
    (Hold the hate: I respect the intense departure in tone. Superhero movies don't get the same respect as regular movies, but this one could go alongside regular undetected, to put it that way. It did its job as a Wolverine farewell, and man, Dafne Keen as X-23. But, I'm not into dystopias or westerns, and it's both, and the implication of what happened to the X-Men and what will or did to the mutants at large feels like "that's it. Everything you liked is gone. It's all just over." Just too final).
  • X-Men Origins: Wolverine
    (Unexpected appearance of Cyclops which if memory serves, was done cleverly enough that even if Wolverine hadn't gotten amnesia, the two still could've met for the first time in X-Men. But this movie is bizarreness, man).
  • New Mutants
    (For one, its existence slipped my mind. For two, it didn't grab me, such that I didn't mind when my viewing partner decided they wanted to stop watching. I read a summery afterward and have seen further scenes and remain content with that; just not my tone).

Here's my ratings for the Jurassic films from best to worst.

JP>TLW/JW>JP3>Dominion>FK

I need to rewatch Dominion for the extended cut since I've heard it makes the film much, much better. Overall the film is an okay watch but it tends to lean heavily into the "funny" moments or other such things designed to get a reaction out of the audience (like the coffee scene with Grant) that we see in modern movies. Almost feels like that Dominion is its own movie opposed to being a Jurassic film, honestly.

As for FK, it's just a bad film all around, IMO. It only has a few good moments throughout the film that end up being dwarfed by dumb writing and stupid plot ideas.

I'm going to give the definitive ranking of the Star Wars movies (only the movies not the shows, who has time for that) because me ranking the MCU movies will take much more effort. So here it is the definitive cannot be denied ranking of the 11 Star Wars movies you may not like it but you can't deny it is definitive and correct.

1: Star Wars: The Last Jedi
2: Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
3: Star Wars
4: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
5: Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
6: Star Wars: Attack of the Clones
7: Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
8: Solo: A Star Wars Story
9: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
10: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
11: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

Official and undeniable

MCU (sets of two)
I'm only ranking them as compared to the other sets in the list, not ranking within said sets.

  • Black Panther | Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
  • Ant-Man | Ant-Man and the Wasp
  • Doctor Strange | Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
  • Guardians of the Galaxy | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2

You know, I largely agree with your listing Fabricant except one thing. And I realize this is probably my fault because my sister is a huge dork and she loves the movie. Rogue One. I tried to watch it once and fell asleep. And not like "ohhh I was exhausted and just passed out" but like "my head is bobbing, this isn't interesting, I can't stay awake"

Also, Master Effex, you probably knew this but if you didn't Logan was based in Old Man Logan which is very much a What If sort of end of the world type storyline. If you've never heard of it and like comics it's worth looking up on YouTube for a summary from like ComicsExplained or something.

Very different than the movie.

@BangoSkank Indeed I am aware! Wasn't when I watched it and haven't watched it since learning that, but still.

I don't think anyone can hold a torch to the set design of Ken Adams.
