as an Entirety....the only possible rating I could give the 22 film franchise is a 11 out of 10.....A lot of people say Exaggerated numbers like that when describing how much they like something, but here with The Franchise....
I literally Have to say 11 out of 10 because If I could not have imagined what The MCU would become in my wildest dreams, if in 2007, someone asked me to take a month and Plot out my ULTIMATE dream scenario for CBMs on film...I truly could not have thought of anything close to what I've ultimately got to experience in the last decade him The MCU...
So its truly not an exaggeration for me to rate The overall 22 films as 11 out of 10....My Ultimate Dream scenario pre MCU which would be rated a 10....would NOT have been as great as what I ultimately got....therefor the only possible rating is 11 out of 10...
If were rating each Movie individually...
I only have 2 MCU films that I consider Disappointing or Average....IM3 and Age Of Ultron.
all Other MCU films I rate between Good to ALL TIME Great.
The MCU also FOR ME resulted in My favorite CBM Trilogy of all time In The Cap Trilogy
and my favorite Series of all time in The 5 Avengers films(I'm counting Civil War)
I actually Think Theres now an argument to be made The Avengers Franchise May in fact Be the Greatest or one of The Greatest Movie Franchises of all time.
When you look at The Quality of 4 of the 5 Films...Other than The Lord of The Rings...Theres not many franchises with 3 or more films that can compete with The Avengers,Civil War,Infinity War and Endgame(AOU is the outlier)
My overall rankings for the MCU are-
1. The Avengers--10/10
2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier--9.5/10
3. The Avengers Infinity War-9.4/10
4. Avengers Endgame-9.3/10
5. Captain America:Civil War-9.1/10
6. Guardians Of The Galaxy--9/10
7. Thor 3: Ragnarok-8.5/10
8. Thor--9/10
9. Doctor Strange--8.5/10
10. Spider-Man: Homecoming-7.5/10
11. Captain Marvel-8/10
12. Black Panther-8/10
13. Ant-Man--8/10
14. Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2-8/10
15. The Avengers Age Of Ultron--7/10
16. Ant-Man And The Wasp-8.5/10
17. Captain America The First Avengers--8/10
18. Iron Man 2--7.5/10
19. Iron Man--9/10
20. Iron Man 3--6.5/10
21. Thor The Dark Word--7/10
22. The Incredible Hulk--7/10
I consider the top 8 MCU films on My list...Literally ALL TIME great CBMs
I find It astonishing what The Russos did....IMO They are Now The Unrivaled KINGS of the CBM genre...
They Literally made 4 of the greatest CBMs of all time....
all are so Great and Literally have to rate them by .10th of a point to rank them
With all other CBMs I simply use the 1 point and .5 system
but With The Winter Soldier,Civil War,Infinity War and Endgame....I Literally cant rate them a half point lower...
They are all so ALL TIME Great and so close in Quality The Best I can do is rate them 9.5, 9.4,9.3 and 9.1
We will never see A Director or Directors do what These Directors did...
Nolan IMO Is the closest, and for Me The Russos are A definitive step above him

I think the Indiana Jones trilogy could compete. I love those films! Raiders, Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade...I'll leave Crystal Skull out of it. Haha.
The Dark Knight trilogy comes very close, as The Dark Knight is my personal favorite comic book movie of all time, even still after all the Marvel movies, but The Dark Knight Rises drags that trilogy down some.
But yeah, you can't deny what Marvel put together and how they put it all together over such a long period of time has been astonishing. And the movies were mostly really good! Kudos to them. I don't know if we'll ever see anything so successful again.
