Keep in mind this is all in my opinion, so I don't have to keep writing that.
This was very hard for me, but I think it goes like this:
Captain America: Civil War -
One of the best MCU movies yet. Funny, dramatic, intense and suspenseful. It does a spectacular job at juggling what could easily have been way too many characters.
Deadpool -
So much fun. Such an entertaining and quotable movie. It was great seeing my favorite X-Man, Colossus, finally done justice in a movie.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows -
As a lifelong TMNT fan who grew up watching the original cartoon this movie was like a childhood dream come true. An improvement in every way over its predecessor (which I was surprised to find I liked too, even though I'd still say that one's my least favorite TMNT movie) and out of all the TMNT movies I think this is the one that does the best job of showing the personalities of all the four turtles.
X-Men: Apocalypse -
Underrated. Fun. Epic. Bryan Singer's worst X-Men movie is still a very good movie.
Suicide Squad -
While it did not live up to my expectations, I still find it entertaining. The "less is more" use of Batman, the Joker and the Flash feels good for the sake of mythology building. Lots of great acting, including a surprisingly good performance from Jai Courtney.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice -
I really wanted to like this movie, but it's just so dull and lifeless. When it finally starts feeling comic booky, it's too little too late. I can't make up my mind about which Batman movie is my least favorite, this one or The Dark Knight Rises. I like everything about this Batman though. Affleck's performance, the suit, the car and Jeremy Irons as Alfred are all things I want to see more of in hopefully better movies.
Doctor Strange -
I found this movie to be a bland addition to the MCU. I don't like it when Marvel (or DC for that matter) does magic. I love magic in Harry Potter, I just prefer not having it when it comes to superheroes. Doctor Strange feels a little to similar to Tony Stark to be interesting and while Mads Mikkelsen manages to get a little charm across I'm afraid Kaecilius still joins the MCU's streak of mostly forgettable villains.
I am vengeance. I am the night. I am Batman! -

- X-Men: Apocalypse - I freaking loved this movie. Fassbender gave his best performance as Magneto yet.
The scene where his family dies and when he revisits Auschwitz with Apocalypse are some of the best of the year.
The First Class Trilogy is my second favorite superhero trilogy after TDK trilogy. Although the Logan sequence is unnecessary and technically makes it the worst in the trilogy. Overall my third favorite movie of the year so far, after The Lobster and Arrival. - Captain America: Civil War - What a great movie. Zemo was the best villain in a superhero movie this year and tied with Loki as the best MCU villain. The airport sequence was really awesome. The script was really well done and almost perfectly handled all of the characters. Only minor flaw I have is Hawkeye and Black Widow could have each used an extra scene. Overall it's my second favorite film in the MCU after The Avengers.
- Deadpool - I'm going to use a quote from a friend to describe this movie. It's not a great action movie with one liners in it but a great one liner movie with action in it. Ryan Reynolds and Monica Baccarin have great chemistry and give great performances. I also really liked the small scale of the story. They really nailed the tone of what Deadpool should be.
- Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice - I've only seen the theatrical cut. I'm a huge fan of Watchmen and Man Of Steel, however I don't love this movie like I loved those 2. Some of the editing is choppy. Though the way Zack Snyder stages the movie is simply breathtaking. The cinematography is great. I liked Batfleck but nothing will ever be able to top The TDK trilogy for me. Overall the movie was underrated and in no way deserving of the internet crucifixion that it got.
- Suicide Squad - I enjoyed it when I saw it. But after reading about what was cut out I think I might like it a bit less (although I much preferred the last 2 acts to the first). Harley Quinn and El Diablo were fantastic. However it ultimately felt like a generic 2000's action movie.
- Doctor Strange - While I did enjoy the movie, nothing really elevated it like a lot of the other MCU movies. The effects were really quite well done. Ultimately Doctor Strange is Marvel's least compelling protagonist yet. That's the scripts fault and not the character's, I'm really enjoying Jason Arron's current run.
The ancient one's death scene was easily the best executed part of the movie and I did find myself emotionally invested.
Although I do have hope for future installments to be better.
I'm gotham's reckoning
- X-Men: Apocalypse - I freaking loved this movie. Fassbender gave his best performance as Magneto yet.

From best to worst:
- Doctor Strange - entertaining as hell and visually the bee's fcking knees.
- Civil War - so much going on, and Spidey!
- Deadpool - Lackluster story but well executed rendition of Deadpool!
- BVS - Even if this version of Luthor wasn't very Luthory, I still liked the portrayal. Pretty good continuation of MOS IMO, and the most comic accurate look of Batman to date, plus; the warehouse scene. So Arkhamverse.
- Turtles - much better than the first one
- Suicide Squad - fun movie with a shtty script and a Joker that left a lot to be desired
- Apocalypse - fun sometimes, mostly a huge bore
.and then the bong hits him on the head and he falls RIGHT over the realitY
