Most lists I have seen have Black Panther 6th behind Reed Richards , Victor Von Doom , Hank Pym , Bruce Banner and Tony Stark .

Edit: Just realized in the cinematic universe that makes him 4th

Echo thoughts of others so I won't repeat it all. One thing I loved was the lack of total resolution. This movie was a chapter in a larger story. I actually like that. Wouldn't have been as good if it was totally self contained.

[TheScorpion]

Not sure where Sam Jackson was in this one.

Loved it. The characters all really had a chance to be fleshed out, and it really felt like a solid chapter in the Marvel story. The Russos did a really good job at making me feel conflicted. I went into the movie Team Cap, flirted with Team Iron Man during, and came out of it Team Avengers. It was great.

I would have tightened up the pacing of the first 40 minutes by having Ironman involved in the Lagos skirmish at the beginning with the same results from Scarlett Witch, and had them come to differing conclusions rather than having them come to their conclusions from separate events. Other than that just awesome! This is the right way to shoehorn in new characters ie Spiderman and Black Panther unlike BvS and Spiderman 3. And that whole airport battle was just beautifully done.

Also, loving Marisa Tomei as a hot Aunt May

Edit: I too am super glad that the super soldiers didn't get involved at the end. I was afraid they might go Hollywood and just have a mega fight with randoms instead. Instead that Ironman /Cap /Bucky fight had waaayyyy more weight. That twist at the end to get them fighting was shocking!

Yes good sir you are correct, greatest super hero movie ever. Man alive, was that just an awesome experience or what.

The air port battle scene deserves its own recognition, right down to the Empire Strikes Back reference. Spider-Boy.. er Man, nailed it. I was literally howling a few times over his comments. But nothing beats Paul Rudd's "Here's your shield Captain America" I may have peed myself a little after that one.

My ONLY nit pick on it is that I felt Zelmo wasn't as good as he could have been given how great he is in the comics, but it felt like more of an origin for him setting up the future. I was also hoping they would have more villains in the jail cells, maybe show GSP recently picked up and possibly a CGI villain we have yet to meet in the movies but would recognize from the comics. The villains do play a big part in this story in the comics, used by Stark and co to hunt down Rogers and his group. I was also really missing the part where Cap recruits Frank Castle, I loved that part in the comics. They did however get the iconic shot of Ironman blasting at Caps shield, just totally nailed that one and I literally whispered "this is awesome" to myself during that scene. The comic book nerd in me was just in heaven. They had a nice nod to Spidey switching sides in Civil War as well with him and Cap having a bit of a moment and Spider-Man justifying the fight to himself mid swing.

But, really and honestly, its just little things. 98% of the movie was great, it was better than I was expecting and the bar was pretty high for me. The fight scenes were just on a whole other level. Bravo Russo brothers, I am very much looking forward to their next movie.

This was a big thing for me as well. Especially with Spider-Man. A lot of the quips and one-liners seemed well done and timed, unlike with Age of Ultron where a lot of the dialogue felt forced and un-natural.

I really liked that Spidey's inexperience showed through and Cap was able to use HIS experience to get past that part of the fight.

Team Iromman? Team Captain America?

No.

Team Spiderman.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

That was really fun. The early black widow fight scene was pretty awesome.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

"Who's speaking?"
"It's your conscience. We don't talk a lot these days."

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Hahaha, yeah Paul Rudd basically knocked everything he had to do right out of the park. The giant man laugh was great. The whole theatre spent half that fight cracking up.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

$186M opening projected. Puts it 5th all time.

[Hemi-Cuda]

This is one of my favorite theater movies in the past decade, mostly because it's an awesome movie, but also partly because I got to see it in IMAX sans-3D. So glad Chinook offered that showing, 3D is a fad that needs to die. Getting to watch everything without some stupid glasses on my head that causes my focus to shift around was very enjoyable

That look on his face when he's turning into a giant.. Just priceless.

The mid and after credits scenes were pretty good this time around. Especially the Spider-Man scene with Aunt May. This is, what, the 50th MCU movie now? Still can't understand how half the theater gets up and leaves as soon as the credits start to roll.

[SuperMatt18]

Really good movie - had some pacing issues at times but that can happen when trying to fit in the stories of 12 characters into one movie.

Spiderman was amazing - went into this movie pretty much burnt out on Spiderman movies and this turned that all around leaving me excited for Homecoming. They really nailed the character and the comedic, smart-ass tone that Spiderman is supposed to have (opposed to the emo Spiderman's we had in the past).

Lots of people don't care about some teaser they won't get anyway.

I had to leave cause I had to pee from pretty much the beginning of the movie but didn't want to miss anything.

I've been able to find the post credit scenes on the internet from every marvel movie so far but I haven't had any luck with this one so far.

Gotta pick your battles dude! I went to pee when Vision and Scarlett Witch were having a heart-to-heart in the kitchen lol.

Yeah same. We stayed for the first one but I didn't want to be the nerd who made my friends wait until the end and there was nothing. I hear it's an iron-spider thing. Would like to check it out.

I just peed my pants instead of missing any of it. It was just to epic!!!

I might have to see this one four or five times in the theater.

Nothing like dancing to the closing credits with a wet crotch.
