Hmmm... Probably Cap, that movie was the only one that I really thought was exactly right. I do like all the new Marvel films, but Hulk's ending fight was awful (and Liv Tyler was shit), Thor needed more Thor and Iron Man 2 is a bit awkwardly paced (and the villians from both films weren't really threatening enough). I think Captian America felt just right, as a ridiculously over-the-top WW2 movie. Loved it (and Hugo Weaving is awesome).
The way Bucky "dies" is pretty off, but the rest, I don't think was too far off base.

- Thor ? I still can't get over the fact that producers and quite big amount of fans find black actor playing Heimdall ok.
That's because they're looking at the performance and not the colour of his skin.
Agreed, weirdsoup, I thought we were over this "ZOMG Heimdall isn't black!". Also Thor's a redhead. Also Nick Fury is black now too, you don't see fans going off on one about that.
OT: Probably Iron Man, I quite like that he doesn't bother with a secret identity. Just because he knows he's badass enough to take down villains anyway. Plus a Tony Stark party would be AWESOME!
I'm with Weirdsoup and Rusman on this one about Hiemdall. Far as I've seen though, Thor has always been blonde, like a real golden blonde. And in the Ultimates comics from Marvel, Fury looks EXACTLY how Samuel L. Jackson does. I think with the Marvel movies, especially involving the Avengers, they are using a lot more from the Ultimates universe as opposed to Earth 616 ("Our" reality the main Marvel universe is apparently from.) Hence why some things tend to be slightly different in some areas, I.E. Samuel L. Jackson = Nick Fury.
O.T: I loved the first Iron Man, and Captain America was very well done I think. Honestly I can't pick between the 2. Thor, as someone said, didn't have enough Thor in it. I guess that's what felt missing to me. He should have been kicking a lot more ass. The more recent Hulk was considerably better than the first, the end, as someone else said, was a bit bogus. I also don't like Ed Norton much, especially as Banner. He was marginally better than Bana (I can't stand him, I think he's such an awful actor.) But they seem to have a hard time finding someone to play Banner. I don't think Ruffalo is going to be any better either, but we'll see.

Spider-Man!
Screw you guys, I'm voting for Spider-Man.
Well, the first 2 movies were great and all, but there is a flaw in this. Spider-Man only in recent years became an Avenger. The Avengers movie is leaning more toward the original Avengers that came about in the 60's. Now if they went with the Avengers starting in the 2000s, then yeah, that works out fine. Just saying. I would eventually like to see a more modern Avengers cast in a movie as well though.
Though I like the others too, those two stick out as the best two of the movies. Iron Man 2 is solid, but Iron Man 1 and Captain America are the strongest offerings so far, to my mind. Each cemented a character back into the public consciousness much more strongly, and brought them to life.
