Age of Ultron.

Infinity War and Endgame should just be counted together.
Avengers > Endgame/Infinity War > Civil War > Ultron
Avengers > Endgame/Infinity War > Civil War > Ultron
I think I like the simplicity and focus of the original Avengers story, and at the time, it was a significant departure in tone/style/humor for superhero movies. Coming back to it eight years later, it doesn't stand out nearly as much, as Avengers was a big part of building the MCU style that's now so commonplace.
I liked Civil War for giving us an Avengers story where the stakes aren't saving the world/universe.
While I enjoyed Infinity War and Endgame, I don't think I'm quite as hot on them as most people here. You just knew that the gauntlet sets up the second film to be "now we hit the Undo button." There are certainly parts I liked in the films, they got to do some cool things with these characters, just wasn't big on the main thread.
Ultron was disappointing because the villain and his minions seemed so... boring? I guess those early teasers had put the idea in my head that Ultron would be a cold, unfeeling, inhuman villain, when he's basically as cartoonish as any standard human comic book villain. (I never read the comics, so maybe that expectation was unrealistic, I don't know.)

Also, where's Thor: The Dark World?

Between the last two, infinity war is the more action driven while endgame is more character driven.
1) Avengers
2) Infinity War
3) Civil War
4) Age of Ultron
5) Endgame
Dabbing Hulk was too much for me.

Infinity War for me. It was so awesome seeing all the big players come together like that. Had some of the best jokes in the whole franchise thus far as well due to those characters interacting.
Endgame, it was a fantastic send-off. I personally didn't like Infinity War all that much. The whole Thor subplot just dragged and it all just felt like setup.
Infinity war despite being over 2h long ,felt so well paced and directed . And the set pieces were fantascit , i coudl really follow the action.
End game on the other hand felt like a fanservice event , with really badly done compositing and overall action sequennce . And oh my fuckin god with the time travel shit . The best part about end game were the first 20 min tone wise and character wise, after that it was all downhill

IW is perfectly paced.
Despite knowing this us comic book world and people who die are not gone, it really sells the stakes and tragedy we see on screen.
Well fleshed out villain with a proper story fully entwined with the plot, not just a boss mob.
It juggles so many characters without them shoehorned in.
Great action, visuals, comedy is handled well.
It's just a perfect MCU film, everything they learnt that works they nailed.

I think with different editing it would end up being amazing. Lots of "omg this is a fucking comic panel come to life" moments
Ultron is the one that retroactively has gotten better with time and future movies.
Infinity War is the standout with the original being a solid second place.
Endgame and Civil War are... fine mostly.
Ultron is rough.

These are my thoughts exactly. I did enjoy Civil War but Infinity War is just...okay. The jokes are lame, the pacing feels weird and something feels off about it. Age of Ultron is just not good.
I'd go A1 > A4 > CW > A3 > A2.
Good taste everyone. Yeah it's Infinity War, it's about as true a comic book movie as there is. Incredible.
Gotta go with the majority and say Infinity War. Endgame is such a epilogue though.
I also think Ultron has aged better than the original.

Probably the first one. It felt more cohesive because of the smaller cast, and the movie didn't need to create as many obvious plot contrivances (like Hulk in IW/Endgame, Thanos' ultimate army being a zerg rush, and the stupid fucking ~laser spears~ of the Wakandan army) as a way to make setpieces that weren't destroyed or nullified immediately.
IW and Endgame had scale of course, but it also had many more moments where you could clearly see that they came up with something dumb just because otherwise some character or another would OP their way out of the whole situation.

Endgame > Civil War > Infinity War > Avengers > Age of Ultron.
The focus on the six originals' dealing with failure and loss and the end of their character arcs is just so satisfying and well done. So, Endgame.

Yep
Totally, it's a shame we didn't get the original cut
Honestly for me its a tough choice between Endgame, Infinity War, and Civil War. I think all three of those are super solid MCU films and the top three out of all of them.
If I had to pick one though I'd say Infinity War. It feels like the best written, best directed, and most emotional of the bunch. Making Thanos the focus of the film worked incredibly well, and letting him win was a bold choice.

Infinity War is the best Avengers movie and it's the second best Marvel film after Spider-Man 2.
