After rating the Black Panther, I was highly unsure of my rating. So I set out to list all the Marvel movies and rank them in order. I also added in (from IMDB) the cost and international gross to determine the profit these movies make.
Below is a list of all the Marvel based movies I could find. This goes back 1944 with Captain America serials that appeared as short features in movie theaters before the main feature.

- It was good to see movies that aren’t good, to bring in substantially less money that other movies.
- Was surprised that Howard the Duck was really the first movie to be made in modern times and I always forget that is Marvel.
- Why can’t they make a good Fantastic Four? The characters themselves are interesting, and Dr. Doom is a great villain. What is so hard?
- Wow, Deadpool was a great investment.
- In the end, I think I have rated Guardians of the Galaxy and Black Panther too high.
- Darn, I have more Marvel movies to watch. Just got tired of Wolverine movies.
- It appears that the more humor within the movie, the higher my ranking.
I will update this table as I see the rest of the films.
