It's part Star Wars, part Tron, part Legend, part Running Man, part Lord of the Rings, and is the most comic book-paced movie in the entire MCU. Tons of cool visuals and interesting things happening one after another, and the music is pretty rad as well.

The villain in one-note, but the movie has so much going for it that I don't mind at all.

I simply don't rewatch almost any MCU flicks, but this one is so weird and different and interesting that I've watched it three times and I've enjoyed the ride every time. And plan on giving it some more watches in the future.

The first Guardians movie is the only thing that comes close for me in a "I just wanna watch something and enjoy it" kind of way.

What say you?

Nah it's Guardians of the Galaxy. That movie is superb and could have easily launched it's own new scifi series. Same with Antman, Thor is great but you have to have background knowledge of the characters for it to fully work.

Yeah they're one and two for me. Not sure why I didn't include Guardians in the poll. Ah well. :)

It's a pretty enjoyable flick, and I enjoyed both it and Guardians vol 1 when I was revisiting some of the older films.

Infinity War. I have a digital copy and when I find myself on a plane without wi-fi, I can easily just go into my phone and start watching Infinity War. It'll make the next 2.5 hours go by very quickly.

I've been watching and re-watching several MCU films recently thanks to my Japanese Disney Deluxe account (Japan's version of Disney+, which is already out). I saw Thor: Ragnarok yesterday and I liked it better the second time around. I think the early part in the Grandmaster's planet goes on too long, but other than that, it's an enjoyable romp and a great prequel to Infinity War.

Nah, Infinity war for me. Ragnarok tried too hard to sacrifice character arcs and dialogue for quips and humor imo.

Absolutely. I guess it depends on if you like the humor in it or not but I have rewatched it more than any and will continue too. Followed by the Guardians movies.

Endgame for me.
The last act is just too good, and I ooze with anticipation every time I see it.

Saw it 6 times so far.

Winter Soldier is my go to.
All the jokes hit for me.
The action and music is solid.

Ragnarok is good too, but just not as good as WS.

Honestly just feel like the Russo films are in a league of their own.

Ragnarok and Captain Marvel were pretty damn solid too though.

Yep, and the Guardians movies are the only thing that comes close. I throw them on, when I need background noise from time to time.

I love it, but it's just so painfully apparent how many scenes were shot on green screens with next to zero physical sets present that I find it actually unpleasant to look at unless something crazy is happening. I think it's a problem heightened by 4K, but the compositing seriously strikes me as something out of a really good student film at times.

Do you have Disney Deluxe on your phone? I have a Japanese iTunes account and a US account (I live in Japan). I downloaded the app and it worked the first time I used it, but now it says it's only for use within Japan. Even if I switch to my JPN iTunes account and fire up the app I'll still get that message. I wonder why my phone thinks it's not in Japan? Any ideas?

Yeah, I absolutely regret not catching it in theaters.

Most of the MCU films are extremely rewatchable though. Only ones I don't go back to are Captain America: First Avenger and Thor 2.
I even love to re-watch Iron Man 2.

Lol @ Endgame being a choice. And Ragnarok is close for me. Three times versus 10+ for both Guardians movies which are easily the most watchable. Spider-Verse though is better than all of MCU outside of Guardians 1 and 2.

I watched it once and doubt I'll ever watch it again so personally nah. The only MCU movies I occasionally rewatch are GOTG1+2 though. I watched The Winter Soldier and Civil War a few times but it got old.

Yes. It slightly edges out IW as my favorite MCU movie because it's so damn funny.

Ragnarok, as much as I love parts of it, is let down by the fact that most of the Asgard sections just drag on and on. If I'm picking any of those to rewatch right now, it's Winter Soldier.

From this poll, it's Infjnity War for me. Ultimately though, it's either Guardians. Even if you put them on in the background, you get to listen to each of their great soundtracks.

Winter Soldier is incredibly rewatchable for me just because the pacing is perfect. Ragnarok is a blast but after the initial part it drags for a bit before it gets going again.

Another issue I have with Ragnarok is its complete refusal to let any meaningful moment go without a joke. I get it's a comedy, but the comedy doesn't need to come at the expense of the story as it does it points in this movie.

Still a great and rewatchable movie! Just no Winter Soldier ;)

I do have it on my phone, which I use to cast it to Chromecast TV.

I actually have a US iTunes account as well (OS also set to English), but I've never had any problems using the service while I'm inside Japan. Did you try contacting their customer service?

Yes easily.

Also props to Kenneth Branagh for making it filmable and to Taika for figuring out the heart of it.

And to Jon Favreau for kicking it off properly.

Ant Man is the only one worth watching a second time.

That being said I haven't seen it twice.
