Iron Man 3 was my favorite Iron Man movie throughout the whole Avengers timeline. In this movie we see Tony Stark instead of Iron Man. After the first Avengers movie when Captain America said, “without that suit who are you” this movie came out with Tony Stark losing everything. I liked this movie because it showed that Tony Stark did not need a suit to save the world but he needed his brain. The main villain in this movie is the Mandurian who destroys every suit Tony Stark owned.

Iron Man, one of the first Marvel Avengers movies, is an amazing, funny, truth-telling movie where Tony Stark, Iron Man, is kidnapped and is injured. He escapes by building a suit and then learns a semi-valuable lesson from his experience. Throughout the movie Tony Stark learns new things and improves himself. My favorite part about this movie is his suit. His suit was not made out of iron but yet he is Iron Man. I recommend this movie to many people who love watching superheroes fail while trying to fly.

I would recommend Captain Marvel for people who like Marvel movies where a superhero struggles to find himself/herself. In Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers was struggling with her ability to hold her powers in. Over time, throughout the movie, she learned to control her power and met Nick Fury, who became her friend, on Earth.

Ant-Man was marvelous. It has action, comedy, soul-searching, and adorable features. From many comics Hank Pym is Ant-Man but in this new Marvel Movie Scott Lang has been chosen by Hank to be Ant-Man. At the beginning of the movie Scott Lang came out of prison for a 5-year sentence for cat burgling. He steals the Ant-Man suit because he wanted money to see his daughter again. This movie is funny and has amazing battle scenes with Yellow-Jacket, the villain.

Captain America the Winter Soldier is an amazing movie to watch if you loved the first movie. It displays a new life where Steve Rogers works for Shield and learns that Hydra has been hiding under their noses inside Shield for years. Captain America teams up with Black Widow and the presumed to be dead Nick Fury to stop the Winter Soldier and to take down Hydra. I loved watching this movie because it was different from the first one.

The Avengers is an amazing movie and has every hero from the previous Phase 1 movies. I love this movie because it connects to a masterplan instead of a one movie – one battle story. In this movie Loki is the villain where he does Rohan’s bidding. The Avengers is the first movie to a sequence of greater movies ahead and without watching this movie you will not be able to understand every single detail in the other three movies.

Out of every Marvel Movie in their Phase 1 collection, this was my favorite. It was funny, action packed, and adventurous. The movie starts with an introduction to the overconfident God of Thunder and the God of Mischief. Thor is banished to Earth where he meets Jane Foster and others. A Destroyer came to Earth and Thor had to use his powers and learn how to be a hero to go back to Asgard. This is the first movie in Marvel Studios that shows Hawkeye and introduces him in a brief time. I recommend his movie to many Marvel fans and many comedy fans.

Captain America The First Avenger was an amazing movie which was very different from every other Marvel movie. Currently when you think of a Marvel movie, you think of a movie that has high tech equipment and different types of sets. I like this movie because it displays how Captain America started out instead of screening him in The Avengers without any background knowledge of him. The movie starts out with Steve Rogers at an army camp where he trains to become a soldier. He was a lab rat in a project which gave him enhanced strength and speed.

Maia Tamarin has traveled to the very ends of the earth to create three otherworldly dresses made from the laughter of the sun, the tears of the moon, and the blood of the stars. However, Maia has paid a grievous price for this. Every day since she struck a deal with the demon Bandur, she becomes more and more like him — her eyes glow red, she hears voices urging her to harness the darkness inside of her, and she sees visions of a bloody future. However, Maia has much, much more to worry about.
