Welcome to TechRadar’s best superhero movies guide. Below, we’ve compiled a list of the 25 greatest comic book films, which – unsurprisingly – includes multiple entriesMarvelandDC. There’s even one offering from Pixar, too, but we’re sure you can figure out which of the famous animation studio’s movies has booked a spot in this article.
Determining what the best superhero movies are is subjective, so you might be disappointed to find that some of your top picks aren’t present in this guide (don’t worry, we’ll be adding more entries in the months ahead). That’s because each film needs to pass certain tests from ourentertainmentteam. Indeed, they need to hold a critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes of 85% or higher (albeit not in order of lowest-rated to highest-rated), be a multi-billion dollar making movie, or have earned the approval of our writers. Of course, films that meet two or three of these criteria have a better chance of landing a spot on this list.
But we digress. Without further ado, here’s our definitive guide on the best superhero movies, including where you can watch them on the world’sbest streaming services.
Best superhero movies: 25-21
25. Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
Runtime:130 minutesDirector:Taika WaititiMain cast:Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo, Tessa Thompson, and Jeff GoldblumRotten Tomatoes (RT) critics' score:93%
Thor’s third solo movie was a marked departure from his previous standalone adventures, but I and many other MCU fans believe it breathed new life into a character in desperate need of reinvention. It’s easy to see why director Taika Waititi’s fresh approach gave the God of Thunder his highest-grossing film yet. Colorful backdrops and funny moments blend well with the movie’s more serious story threads, which helps to inject some originality intoThor’s movie series. It also set upInfinity War’s universe-shattering events in its mid-credits scene, soThor: Ragnarok’s wider importance can’t be overlooked, in my opinion.
24. Wonder Woman (2017)
Runtime:141 minutesDirector:Patty JenkinsMain cast:Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, and David ThewlisRT critics' score:93%
Wonder Womanwas one of theDCEU’s best films. I agree that doesn’t amount to much, what with how poor many of its contemporaries were, but the Gal Gadot-led flick is nonetheless a fantastic watch. Set during World War I, Gadot plays Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, who helps the Allied Forces turn the tide of the conflict and thwart Ares, the god of war, in the process. Comparable toCaptain America: The First Avengerdue to its period setting,Wonder Womandoes a better job of portraying the gravity and consequences of war. It feels grittier and more hard-hitting than Marvel’s film, but Patty Jenkins’ flick isn’t all gloomy. There’s a lot of humor to be had, while Gadot’s chemistry with Chris Pine’s Steve Trevor is a particular highlight. If you can look past its lackluster, CGI-heavy finale,Wonder Womanmakes for entertaining viewing.
23. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 (2014)
Runtime:121 minutesDirector:James GunnMain cast:Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, and Lee PaceRT critics' score:92%
James Gunn’s first MCU movie is the blueprint that his other superhero films – this movie’s two sequels and DCEU entryThe Suicide Squad– owe their success to. Led by Pratt’s charismatic Star-Lord, this ragtag group of loners become galactic saviors as they look to halt Ronan the Accuser (Pace) from committing planetary genocide. LikeThe Suicide Squad,Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1is packed with jokes, emotional story beats, and solid action sequences. Its charming cast are all on song here, catapulting this previously niche band of superheroes into the limelight and making them an important component of the Marvel movie-making machine. Oh, and it has a banging licensed soundtrack to boot, too, which I’ve played to death on Spotify.
22: X-Men: First Class (2011)
Runtime:126 minutesDirector:Matthew VaughnMain cast:James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, January Jones, Kevin Bacon, Rose Byrne, and Zoe KravitzRT critics' score:86%

Fox’s secondX-Menmovie series – learnhow to watch the X-Men movies in orderwhile you’re here – was ultimately marred by some dreadful entries. However, early on, it had two of the franchise’s best movies. The first of those wasFirst Class, the Cold War-era film that put the series back on the right path after the dreadfulX-Men: The Last Stand. With a suspense-ridden plot, powerful acting performances, and a stylish retelling of the X-Men origins story, I foundFirst Classto be a welcome return to form for the film series. It laid the foundations for an even better movie to come, too, before things went downhill soon after.
21. The Incredibles (2004)
Runtime:115 minutesDirector:Brad BirdMain cast:Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Samuel L. Jackson, Sarah Vowell, Spencer Fox, and Jason LeeRT critics' score:97%
Animated superhero films are sometimes as good, if not better, than their live-action brethren. And few are as wonderful asPixar’sThe Incredibles. It captures the weight of expectation of being a superpowered being, with Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and Frozone struggling to let go of their crime fighting days. Meanwhile, the first duo’s children (Violet and ‘Dash’) have to hide their abilities from the world. Thematically, it’s a surprisingly dense film as well – the movie’s villain, Syndrome, is also afflicted by insecurities.The Incredibles, though, is far from serious. It’s packed with numerous laugh out loud moments, top-tier animation, and a family-friendly tale that’ll equally entertain adults and kids. Stick one of thebest Pixar movieson ASAP.
Best superhero movies: 20-11
20. Deadpool (2016)
Runtime:108 minutesDirector:Tim MillerMain cast:Ryan Reynolds, Monica Baccarin, Ed Skrein, Brianna Hildebrand, Stefan Kapicic, Karan Soni, and Leslie UggamsRT critics' score:85%
Deadpoolmay never have been made if its test footage hadn’t leaked online in 2014, but I’m delighted it did. The Ryan Reynolds-starring film changed the game when it came to R-rated superhero movies, with the likes ofJoker,Logan, andDeadpool and Wolverineowing their development to this pioneering flick. An inventive origin story that mocks superhero movies that came before,Deadpoolis a superbly self-aware flick that does justice to the Marvel fan favorite. Sure, some of its humor comes across as childish and its ending is fairly standard for a superhero movie, butDeadpooldemonstrated that there’s room for mature, radical takes on superheroes, and I’m certainly keen to see more.
19: X2: X-Men United (2003)
Runtime:134 minutesDirector:Bryan SingerMain cast:Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, James Marsden, Anna Paquin, Shawn Ashmore, and Brian Cox,RT critics' score:85%
Coming three years after their live-action debut,X2: X-Men Unitedwas bigger and bolder than its predecessor. Building on the plot threads laid out in 2000’sX-Men, it introduced more fan-favorite mutants, upped the stakes and action sequences, and its cliff-hanger ending teased the arrival of the Dark Phoenix, aka Jean Grey’s villainous persona.X-Men 2has been surpassed by other mutant-based movies since. For its time, however, I considered it to be the benchmark for similar movies moving forward (untilSpider-Man 2, at least) and a rare example of a comic book film that bettered its older sibling.
18. Superman: The Movie (1978)
Runtime:143 minutesDirector:Richard DonnerMain cast:Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, Marlon Brando, and Margot KidderRT critics' score:94%
The oldest movie on this list, Christopher Reeve’s first appearance as the Man of Steel is still my favoriteSupermanmovie to date (2025’sSupermanfilmmight change that, though). Yes, it looks dated compared to modern superhero movies and some of its dialog is corny. But, for its time,Superman: The Moviewas a crowd pleaser that blended comedy and drama in a way that other movies seldom could. It’s old fashioned in its approach but, for me, that’s what makes it great. Superman is an old fashioned creation – he was developed in the 1940s – andSuperman: The Moviereflects that. It was, and still is, a nostalgic tribute to one of DC Comics’ most iconic heroes.
17. X-Men: Days of Future Part (2014)
Runtime:131 minutesDirector:Bryan SingerMain cast:Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicolas Hoult, Peter Dinklage, Patrick Stewart, and Ian McKellenRT critics' score:90%
This time-spanning team-up between different X-Men generations is a dazzling entry in Fox’s now defunct universe.Days of Future Pastcombined the best elements of the series – namely, its two first-rate casts – and provided each character with their moment to shine. For a movie that contains 19 superheroes spread across different time periods, that’s no small feat. Add in a satisfying story that’s revisionist in bringing dead characters back to life (spoiler: I’m still not over Xavier’s death inThe Last Stand),X-Men: Days of Future Pastis a terrific fan service-style superhero film that had me beaming from ear to ear.
16. Iron Man (2008)
Runtime:126 minutesDirector:Jon FavreauMain cast:Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard, and Jon FavreauRT critics' score:94%
Iron Mankickstarted the MCU in 2008 and Marvel hasn’t looked back since. Robert Downey Jr’s electric and charismatic portrayal of Tony Stark is, for me, unrivalled in the superhero space, and the film as a whole is a surprising spectacle. It possesses a strong supporting cast, quality CGI that still holds up, and feels grounded for a movie centered on a billionaire arms dealer-turned-superhero. Above all, though,Iron Manis justfun. There’s a zestfulness to it that runs through subsequent MCU movies and, while it isn’t perfect (its final battle isn’t great), it pioneered the blueprint on which all Marvel films are built. A welcome addition to our best superhero movies article and one I won’t be replacing for some time, if ever.
15. Captain America: Civil War (2016)
Runtime:146 minutesDirectors:Joe and Anthony RussoMain cast:Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Sebastien Stan, Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Jeremy Renner, Paul Rudd, Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, and Daniel BruhlRT critics' score:90%
With tensions bubbling under the surface sinceThe Avengers, the Russo brothers used their second Marvel movie to tear the superhero group apart in devastating fashion. A mini-Avengers movie,Captain America: Civil Waris the cinematic showdown that I didn’t know I wanted. LikeDays of Future Past, it juggles the MCU’s superhero line-up with aplomb. It even has time to introduce Black Panther and Spider-Man, making them feel part of this world ahead of their own first solo outings. With thought-provoking themes surrounding family and friendship, and a number of top quality set pieces,Civil Warmaintained the MCU’s push to become the world’s biggest film series in an era where, in mine and many other fans' opinions, it could do no wrong.
14. Batman Returns (1992)
Runtime:126 minutesDirector:Tim BurtonMain cast:Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Danny DeVito, Christopher Walken, and Michael GoughRT critics' score:82%
With the first film’s experience under his belt, Tim Burton’s secondBatmanouting was an equally dark but more entertaining spectacle. Michael Keaton captures what makes Batman such a complex character, but it’s the movie’s supporting cast that outshines him. Indeed, Michelle Pfeiffer, Danny DeVito, and Christopher Walken’s performances as Catwoman, The Penguin, and Max Shreck remain iconic to this day, providing a mix of playful seduction, horror-like threat, and whimsicality to proceedings. It’s a pity that we didn’t see some of them in aBatman Returnssequel, instead receiving a lesser movie (sans Keaton) in 1995’sBatman Forever. My suggestion? Stick to this best superhero movies entry if you want your Keaton Batman fix.
13. Logan (2017)
Runtime:137 minutesDirector:James MangoldMain cast:Hugh Jackman, Dafne Keen, Patrick Stewart, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant, and Richard E. GrantRT critics' score:93%
Before his return as James ‘Logan’ Howlett/Wolverine inDeadpool and Wolverine, everyone (myself included) were convinced this R-rated X-Men spin-off was Hugh Jackman’s final hurrah as the adamantium-clawed hero. Regardless of whether it was or not, though, I considerLoganto not only be one of the best X-Men movies ever, but also one of the best superhero movies. Yes, it’s incredibly violent and somewhat grimdark in its tonality, butLoganis also a deeply resonant and heart-wrenching story about survivor’s guilt, found family, and legacy. For me, Jackman gives his best performance as the iconic superhero in this movie; the Australian actor anchoring this movie alongside captivating turns from its strong supporting cast (newcomer Dafne Keen and esteemed star Patrick Stewart, though, are notable highlights) in a film that’ll make you laugh, wince, and cry.
12. Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Runtime:148 minutesDirector:Jon WattsMain cast:Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Benedict Cumberbatch, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Marisa Tomei, Jamie Foxx, Benedict Wong, and Jon FavreauRT critics' score:93%
Some people may ask whySpider-Man: No Way Homefeatures so high on this list, but I believe there are many reasons why Tom Holland’s latest Spidey film sits 12th in our best superhero movies guide. The return of iconic villains, which includes Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin and Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock, its heart-wrenching tale, underappreciated humor, brutal battles,andexploration of Spidey’s darker side, No Way Homeis a celebration of everything that I love about the webslinger. Add in cameos fromthosetwo characters – if you know, you know – and I couldn’t leaveNo Way Homeoff this list Another Spider-Man film may have explored the wallcrawler’s multiverse first (and arguably better, too – but more on this later) butNo Way Homeis an excellent MCU entry that superbly honors Spidey’s silver screen adventures. Check out ourSpider-Man movies rankedguide to see how it fares against its brethren.
11. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
Runtime:135 minutesDirector:Joe and Anthony RussoMain cast:Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastien Stan, Anthony Mackie, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, and Robert RedfordRT critics' score:90%
The MCU didn’t require a refresh in 2014, but Cap’s second solo movie gave it one anyway. An espionage thriller wrapped in superhero clothing,Captain America: The Winter Soldierwas the first Marvel movie to truly dabble in another genre. And, to my surprise, it actually worked.The Winter Soldierallowed Marvel’s cinematic juggernaut to take a step back from its previously CGI-heavy visuals to focus on greater character development, political intrigue, and frenetic close-quarters combat. Few Marvel films have come close to replicatingThe Winter Soldier’s realism, even in a world of superheroes, which makes it a standout entry in the eyes of many, including mine.
Best superhero movies: 10-1
10. The Avengers (2012)
Runtime:143 minutesDirector:Joss WhedonMain cast:Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, and Tom HiddlestonRT critics' score:91%
I’ll never forget seeing this movie for the first time. A ground-breaking moment for the genre,The Avengersshowed that superhero movies can deliver a spectacle to rival any film. Witty and action-packed, Joss Whedon’s team-up flick is a pulsating ride that knows when to ease off the gas or go full throttle. Each hero gets opportunities to showcase their talents and, in bringing the mischievous Loki back into the fold, solidified the trickster god as the MCU’s first truly great villain.The Avengersis not only a Marvel fan’s dream, but also possessed the ability to appeal to a mass audience, which didn’t hurt the MCU’s chances on its journey to becoming a cinematic juggernaut. The one Marvel movie that not only changed the game, but also proved that superhero team-ups can work on the silver screen.
9. Batman Begins (2005)
Runtime:140 minutesDirector:Christopher NolanMain cast:Christian Bale, Katie Holmes, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe, and Michael CaineRT critics' score:85%
Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy is,The Batmannotwithstanding, the closest thing we’ll get to Batman in real life.Batman Beginsis a smart, compelling, and brooding neo-noir adaptation that definitively captures the character’s essence, psychology, and motivations in minute detail. It’s these elements that sets Nolan’s trilogy apart from other Batman productions, despite it being another retelling of the character’s origin story. It wouldn’t be long until it was usurped by its successor, and it isn’t a faultless film (Bruce Wayne and Rachel Dawes’ interactions lack chemistry). But, if you ask me,Batman Beginsis a brilliant movie that offered a different cinematic take on the icon to what we’d seen before. A worthy entry in our best superhero movies list and one of thebestBatmanmoviesever produced.
8. Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Runtime:122 minutesDirector:Sam RaimiMain cast:Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Alfred Molina, James Franco, Rosemary Harris, and J.K. SimmonsRT critics' score:93%
Widely considered the best Spider-Man film until late 2018,Spider-Man 2has everything I wanted from a superhero flick at the time. Boasting one of the genre’s most tragic and complex villains in Molina’s Doc Ock,Spider-Man 2is an emotionally gripping story about father figures and letting go of the past. Its hugely satisfying set pieces – I was bowled over by that exceptional train fight sequence – also make for a great spectacle. Few movies, superhero-based or otherwise, can match its blend of action, comedy, horror, and drama. It’s just a shame thatSpider-Man 3couldn’t elevate Sam Raimi’s trilogy even further, otherwise I’d consider it to be up there with Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy as an epic non-MCU or non-DCEU film series.
7. The Batman (2022)
Runtime:176 minutesDirector:Matt ReevesMain cast:Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Paul Dano, John Tuturro, Andy Serkis, Colin Farrell, and Jayme LawsonRT critics' score:85%
Top-tier Batman movies are a dime a dozen – there’s still one more to come in this list, too – but few can hold a candle to Matt Reeves' 2022 film adaptation.The Batman, which stars Robert Pattinson as the titular vigilante, is a stupendous flick that just gets everything that’s great about the Caped Crusader. From its authentic portrayal of the superhero’s detective skills – an often overlooked aspect of the character in previous movies, in my view – and its soaring score, to its thematic resonance, powerful acting performances, and brutal action,The Batmanhas laid down a marker that all future Batman flicks must meet. Read more about my thoughts on it in myreview ofThe Batman. Once you’ve seen it, check out its first spin-off inThe Penguin, too.
6. Black Panther (2018)
Runtime:134 minutesDirector:Ryan CooglerMain cast:Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Letitia Wright, Lupita N’yongo, Danai Gurira, Daniel Kaluuya, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, Martin Freeman, and Andy SerkisRT critics' score:96%
A phenomenal flick that blazed a trail through the cultural zeitgeist,Black Panther’s impact extends far beyond that of superhero movies. Indeed, it transcended the genre as much as it embraced traditional superhero fare, offering representation to Black viewers who,Bladeaside, didn’t have a live-action superhero to call their own. Iconic performances from the late Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa and Michael B. Jordan’s Eric Killmonger will live long in the memory, butBlack Panther is more than its protagonist and villain’s Shakespearean tale. I see it as an emboldening and electrifying triumph for Black filmmakers, actors, crew members, and viewers worldwide – and that should always be celebrated. Its sequelBlack Panther: Wakanda Foreveris equally terrific, albeit it’s a more somber and angst-riddled affair that suffers from Boseman’s obvious absence.
5. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Runtime:140 minutesDirectors:Kemp Powers, Justin K. Thompson, and Joaquin Dos SantosMain cast:Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Oscar Isaac, Jake Johnson, Issa Rae, Karan Soni, Daniel Kaluuya, Jason Schwartzman, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, and Shea WighamRT critics' score:95%
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verseis a visually stunning superhero film that, in some ways, is superior to its predecessor (more on this movie shortly). Honestly, I regularly find myself running out of superlatives for this gorgeous looking, deeply emotional, and highly amusing flick. It’s a darker, more mature take on the webslinger’s six decades-spanning source material that also seems to take its narrative cues from Raimi’s horror-tinted webhead-centric trilogy. And, with its impressively stunning cliff-hanger ending, and dynamic animation and art styles – have I mentioned how beautiful it is yet? – it deserves a spot in the top five of our best superhero movies list.
4. Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Runtime:181 minutesDirectors:Joe and Anthony RussoMain cast:Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Josh Brolin, Don Cheadle, Mark Ruffalo, Paul Rudd, Jeremy Renner, Brie Larson, Karen Gillan, and Bradley CooperRT critics' score:94%
Delivering a highly satisfying conclusion to the MCU’s Infinity Saga, Avengers: Endgame is as absorbing, moving, and joyful as I hoped it would be. Its three-hour runtime flies by whether I’m watching for the first or 20th time – proof it’s a well-paced movie that slaloms intricately through its numerous story threads, action sequences, and more intimate moments.Avengers: Endgameis a victory lap for the MCU’s most beloved heroes and, with plenty of fan service that both diehard and more casual fans will revel in, it’s a fitting end to the MCU’s first decade. One of the best superhero movies andbest Disney Plus moviesof all-time.
3. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
Runtime:117 minutesDirector:Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney RothmanMain cast:Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Jake Johnson, Mahershala Ali, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, Zoe Kravitz, John Mulaney, Kimiko Glenn, Nicolas Cage, Liev Schreiber, and Kathryn HahnRT critics' score:97%
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Versehad no right to leave me awestruck over how utterly fantastic it is. Yet, here it is, beating the likes ofAvengers: Endgameto enter our top three. If that doesn’t tell how much Ilovethis film, I don’t see what else I can do to explain why that’s the case – but humor me, dear reader, and let me try. For one, its eye-popping comic book-inspired art style is ground-breaking, but it isn’t the only reason why I adore Into the Spider-Verse. It’s also hilarious, inventive, heartfelt, full of exhilarating action sequences, and has a terrific voice cast of newcomers and established stars who deliver sensational performances in their respective roles. Oh, and it even tackled the idea of the multiverse long before Marvel Studios did (and better, may I add), which is no small feat for a movie that exists outside of the MCU.
2. The Dark Knight (2008)
Runtime:152 minutesDirector:Cristopher NolanMain cast: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murphy, and Michael CaineRT critics' score:94%
One of the best superhero movies ever made,The Dark Knightis a rich, thrilling, and epic crime drama that refuses to let go of your attention as it builds towards its nightmarish and tragic conclusion. The late Heath Ledger’s Joker is the firecracker that ignites it, with his posthumous award-winning display elevatingThe Dark Knightfrom a very good superhero flick to an explosive blockbuster that’ll emotionally stun you (as it did to me). To only mention Ledger’s performance, though, is a disservice to the rest of the cast, crew, and Nolan’s meticulous crafting of a tense and massive-scale superhero movie. It’s deeper and more evocative than its predecessor, and set a new standard for how any film – not just those from the superhero genre – should be designed, developed, shot, and produced. See where it ranks in ourbest Christopher Nolan movies listwhile you’re here.
1. Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Runtime:149 minutesDirector:Joe and Anthony RussoMain cast:Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Josh Brolin, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chadwick Boseman, Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Dave Bautista, Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, Don Cheadle, Elizabeth Olsen, Anthony Mackie, Sebastien Stan, Paul Bettany, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, Tom Hiddleston, Bradley Cooper, and Vin DieselRT critics' score:85%
The cream of the crop.Avengers: Infinity Waris a sweeping and shocking masterpiece that juggles the MCU’s dizzying array of heroes as they attempt to thwart Thanos’ genocidal plan in a race against time. The result is a hugely captivating but ultimately harrowing film where, in a rare occurrence, the villain is victorious. It’s a shocking play by the Russo brothers, who were directing their fourth Marvel movie, and provided the MCU with its most traumatic and memorable finale ever (I won’t forget how deflated I felt as I left my screening after seeing how it ended). With its emotionally complex antagonist, intimate and extravagant battles, pulsating score, and jaw-dropping sequel set-up,Infinity Waris a wildly ambitious superhero film that hits the right notes despite its innumerable moving parts. Simply put, it’s one of thebest Marvel moviesand one of the best superhero movies, if not the best, ever – and I’ll argue that until the end of time.
