amount of modernity to connect with
younger viewers a barnburner that isn't
afraid to take chances

characteristics of what a superhero film
should be now I'm standing happy we're
all standing up now bunch of jackasses

Captain America the Winter Soldier
[Music]
while many of the films in the Marvel
Cinematic Universe tend to kind of blend
together this one definitely stands out
after an attempt on Nick Fury's life
Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanov must
discover who was behind the attack while
dodging a mysterious assassin known as
the Winter Soldier feeling more like a
70s spy thriller than a big-budget
superhero flick directors Anthony and
Joe Russo built their film on practical
effects strong writing and beautifully
choreographed action sequences this
change of pace allows for an intriguing
plot to develop and doesn't pigeonhole
the characters into becoming cliches of
thriller from start to finish this movie
is a must-see for all comic book lovers
[Music]
number two the Avengers that's what we
call ourselves sort of like a team
Earth's Mightiest Heroes time Frank yes
I've met them after setting up each
character with a standalone movie Marvel
did something comic book lovers had been
waiting for their whole lives they made
a film with all of them together when
the mischievous Loki makes plans to
enslave earth it's up to a team of
individuals with extraordinary powers to
stop him being one of the most
anticipated superhero flicks in history
isn't easy but the Avengers more than
lives up to the task
currently sitting at number five on the
list of highest-grossing films of all
time it's safe to say that the formula
worked a benchmark in the superhero
genre this movie dared to dream a little
bigger and consequently knocked one
right out of the park
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions this isn't a
fighting thing it's what people do
sometimes when they're excited or pumped
up
[Music]
number one Captain America Civil War not
stopping there are we with all the hype
around one of the most notorious
storylines in Marvel Comics this film
had some pretty big expectations to live
up to
luckily the Russo brothers returned
bringing the same level of action and
humor that made their previous film a
success when the Avengers become divided
separated by the differing ideologies of
Steve Rogers and Tony Stark Lyons's are
given some of the best superhero action
of all time earning near universal
praise the film takes a mature approach
to the superhero genre by broaching a
number of complex subjects that hadn't
been previously addressed grossing over

grandmother seems to have enjoyed this
superhero flick
