It's the only Marvel movie I own.
Black Widow is definitely one of Cate Shortland's best pictures
Someone's hacked McClane's account.
Black Widow is still the best MCU movie, and I will die on that hill.
Opinions vary
Everyone knows my taste is shit, but I will certainly make a case that the Captain America films are pretty damned good - all three of them. Guardians of the Galaxy is fun and entertaining, and Infinity War was a hell of a lot of fun in theaters. The Iron Man stuff got progressively worse, but I recall the first film being extremely well-received at the time.
This stuff clearly isn't timeless, as public opinion has soured quite a bit on even the films that used to get reviewed really well.

I wonder if you watched the same movies I did 
Fair point. Most (all?) of it was drawn from previous source material. I still think they deserve some credit for engineering it all together with a plan from start to finish, with really only a few missteps up until the finale. Especially when comparing it to the garbage that came/is still coming after that era.
Like I said: For better or for worse. For people who grew up with the comics and liked the characters, it was fun to see them put to screen with some success. Sadly, it grew into a marketing monster and eventually collapsed under its own weight. Many people never want to see another super hero film again.
Alas, they are on their way out, which will make folks like Minio fairly happy, I presume.

Speaking or worse and worse copies...I just saw the Alien: Romulus thread float to the top of the sidebar.
Cinema is probably doomed.
