Okay, this is one of the best Marvel movies, right in the top five. Black Widow, Captain America and Nick Fury team up against one villain, the Winter Soldier, played by the talented Sebastian Stan. But it has some pretty big revelations in terms of the larger story which leads up to Infinity War.
INFINITY WAR MOVIE MOVIE
Not just because it is a fairly good movie in itself, a spy thriller if you will. Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Thor join forces to make the world a better place again in this blockbuster. The Avengers is the first film where you get to see all the superheroes fight Loki and his evil masterplan together. But the film did introduce Aether, the Reality Stone. But it doesn’t do much to contribute to the storyline that leads up to Infinity War. Now, in itself, Thor is a pretty good movie. Thor introduces the audience to the magical world of Asgard, the Norse God Thor, his evil step-brother Loki and their father Odin. You kind of have to watch it, despite it not being a particularly great movie. And Captain America: The First Avenger is all about Steve Rogers, the super soldier who has what it takes to fight the good fight. Origin stories are important in understanding what is it that is uniting all the Avengers in the ultimate battle against Thanos. After genius innovator and industrialist Tony Stark realises the cost entailing the highly stylised weaponry, he makes himself the unmatched armour to fight all kinds of evil. Sure, you are introduced to MCU’s godfather, Iron Man, the one who began it all.
There’s nothing especially revelatory about the big Robert Downey Jr starrer in terms of the storyline.
