*For this article all IMDb ratings have been multiplied by ten for all cumulative scores* 

5. Spider-Man: No Way Home/Thor: Ragnarok

In the fifth spot on this list, there is a two-way tie between Spider-Man: No Way Home from 2021, and Thor: Ragnarok from 2017. 

In Spider-Man: Now Way Home fans see Tom Holland as Peter Parker once again, dealing with multiple villains from the past Spider-Man films with Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfiled, as well as their respective versions of Spider-Man. 

Thor: Ragnarok takes place throughout space, and on different planets, with Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) meeting new friends and allies in an attempt to defeat their sister Hela (Cate Blanchett) and save their home planet Asgard. Both Spider-Man: No Way Home and Thor: Ragnarok scored a cumulative rating of 246 from Rotten Tomatoes, IMBd, and Metacritic.

Spider-Man: No Way – Rotten Tomatoes 93%/ IMDb 8.2/ Metacritic 71%

Thor: Ragnarok – Rotten Tomatoes 93%/ IMDb 7.9/ Metacritic 74%

4. Guardians of the Galaxy

In the fourth spot on this list is the Guardians of the Galaxy from 2014. In the Guardians of the Galaxy we see a hard and stubborn creation of a group, not necessarily by choice, from different places, and with different motives that force them to come together for a unique job. Fans received an awesome introduction of many characters, such as Star Lord (Chris Pratt), Rocket Racoon (Bradley Cooper), and Gamora (Zoe Saldana). Guardians of the Galaxy scored a 248 cumulative score from the ratings of Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, and Metacritic. 

Rotten Tomatoes 92%/ IMDb 8/ Metacritic 76%

3. Iron Man

 Next up we have the movie that started it all, 2008’s Iron Man, starring Robert Downey Jr. Fans see the “genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist” Tony Stark at the beginning of his story, and how he is kidnapped and left with no other choice but engineering himself a tool to escape his, first suit. This spirals into Tony Stark becoming Iron Man, and even in the formation of the Avengers alongside Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). Iron Man received a cumulative score of 252 from Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, and Metacritic. 

Rotten Tomatoes 94%/ IMDb 7.9/ Metacritic 79%

2. Avengers: Endgame

Coming in second on this list is a movie that had the whole world going to the theaters, and that is Avengers: Endgame, which came out in 2019. Avengers: Endgame has almost every beloved marvel character, good or bad, that was previously seen in the MCU. In an attempt to fix what Thanos had done in Avengers: Infinity War, many of our favorite heroes travel back in time to parallel universes to collect the Infinity Stones to bring back what was taken away by Thanos. Avengers: Endgame received an overall, cumulative score of 256 from Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, and Metacritic. 

Rotten Tomatoes 94%/ IMDb 8.4/ Metacritic 78%

1. Black Panther

At the top of the list is the fan favorite about the king of Wakanda, The Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), from 2018. Black Panther follows the story of the king of Wakanda, T’Challa, after his fathers death in Captain America: Civil War. Black Panther is a beautiful story of love, hate, betrayal, and so much more. T’Challa is up against many enemies, none other than his half brother, Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), and his pursuit of taking the throne, and control of all of Wakanda. Black Panther scored a 257, just one point above Avengers: Endgame, in the cumulative score from Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, and Metacritic. 

Rotten Tomatoes 96%/ IMDb 7.3/ Metacritic 88%
