The Avengers
Released 2012
Final Score: 32.5/34
Jeff: 34/34
Critics: 30/34
Audience: 33/34
Rating 33/34

Earth's mightiest heroes must come together and learn to fight as a team if they are to stop the mischievous Loki and his alien army from enslaving humanity.

What the critics said: With a script that never forgets its heroes' humanity and no shortage of superpowered set pieces, The Avengers lives up to its hype -- and raises the bar for Marvel at the movies.

What I said: Hulk Smash, Smash Records

If you are a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, on the eve of the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron, you are probably questioning my rankings for not having this on top.   Personally I believe this is, so far, the best film, and if you remove my personal ranking of the film as number 1 it drops to 4th, yes FOURTH on the list.  The Avengers smashed multiple box office records, it is one of the largest selling DVD/Blu-Rays in history, and so on and so forth.   Here is the deal, it is not the Audience most liked film (Guardians of the Galaxy is), it not the critics most liked film (Spider-Man 2 is) and those two factors kept it from the top spot.
