Feel free to join me my Fellow Freaks
Ok So we have 46 days till Endgame comes out.. That means we have 46 days to watch all 21 Marvel Movies. Since Captain Marvel came out this weekend I decided to start doing this this weekend.
Now Other then CM I will be watcing these in theatrical released order.
Just for fun I am going to rate the films in a few diffent areas on a scale of 1-10 and then add up and give a final grade. This is all very scientific

Captain Marvel
Hero:
7 out of 10 - Brie Did a fine job. I liked her little smirk and while that was all she had to sell the character it worked well enough for me. I can see why she is in the movies and I am not.
Villain:
4 out of 10 - This would be higher if the Skrulls were the main Bad guys.. As it turns out they were not and the villains became average at best. Marvel films don't have a lot of good villains and here was the chance to have one and they blew it
Side Characters:
8 out of 10 - Sam Jackson was great. Yes he was not 100% Fury but why would he be. Brie's friend Rambo was forgettable and forced.. Her reaction to the insane events around her were very unrealistic. The rest of the cast was fine but it was Sam Jackson that was the MVP.
Story:
4.5 out of 10 - Not bad but not good. It serves its purpose but I was not crazy about the twist at all. I did like the first half of the film a lot though. Fell apart in the second half.
Action:
4.5 out of 10 - Meh.. Some good moments when Fury and CM were chasing the skrulls in the beginning and in the military base. The hand to hand was nothing new but when CM finally got her powers it was cool to look at but ultimately forgettable. Its better action then what I consider the worst in the MCU.
Musical Score:
4 out of 10 - The 90's music was fine but the film score itself was typical boring MCU music. I love film scores and unfortunately this is going to be a problem area for most Marvel films.
Overall Enjoyment:
6 out of 10 - The very definition of average Marvel. It was not bad due to the cast but could have been so much more with a better villain and better action.
Final Score 38 out of 70
Iron Man
Hero:
10 out of 10 - RDJ set the standard.
Villain:
7 out of 10 - I love Jeff Bridges and if he was the only villain this score would be higher but the terrorist were all boring.
Side characters:
10 our of 10 - Pepper, Roadie, Ho Yinsen, Happy, Jarvis... All great!!
6 out of 10 - Some great moments but a pretty tame film in terms of action, but a great preview of what was to come.
Musical Score:
5 out of 10 - Not bad but it tales a few listens to find the theme. The Rock tunes are great though.
Overall enjoyment:
8 out of 10 - Still one of the best of the MCU
Final Score - 53 out of 70
The Incredible Hulk
Hero:
9 out of 10 - If I was just going on The Hulk I would gave it a perfect score. Norton does a serviceable but pretty bland job. I like him but I am not intrigued when he is on screen. The Hulk character would later look better in the later films but his character is about perfect in this one. I love that they use Lou Ferrigno for the vocal effects. Wish they were still using him. Hulks sound design in this film is perfect. His face is pretty good and overall there are times he looks like he was ripped out of the comics.
Villain:
7 out 10 - If it was just Ross I would give a 10 out of 10. If it was Ross and Blonsky I would give a 9 out 10. I really like those two and find them to be two of the more "true" villains of the MCU. Pretty despicable characters that a fun to dislike. But the Abomination is rushed hurts the flow of the film. He is never really developed and is feels like a last min add on rather then a true advisory.
Side characters:
5 out of 10 - Betty is good enough and Sam Sterns is kinda fun. They don't hurt the film so that is saying something.
9 out of 10 - The Factory scene and final battle are some great stuff. The campus fight is hurt by being in broad daylight and ends up showing the truly dated CGI. But IMO this is some great fun Hulk action. Changed my score as I love the Banner chase through Brazil also.
Musical Score:
8 out of 10 - One of the Best scores in the MCU. There is an actual melody going on with most of this. Its not a classic like Star Wars or Indiana Jones of course but for the MCU its on a higher level
Overall enjoyment:
9 out of 10 - I am a Hulk fan. I think this film does a lot of things right and has some of my fav moments in all of the MCU. The fact that I get a Hulk Thunder clap and a "Hulk Smash" moment makes this film worth watching Hulks "Leave me Alone" Line in the factory is one of the MCU's nest "Nailed it" moments for any of its characters in the MCU. Very underrated film IMO and far better then some of the other mass favs.
Final score - 54 out of 70
Final Score 38 out of 70

Story:
7 out of 10 - I actually enjoy the story overall. I think the Banner on the run from Ross is done well and Blonky's story is handles well until the end. Which again just felt rushed.. An extra 20 min would have helped.
