This movie is so great, and as you can tell from these rankings, the Captain America trilogy within the MCU is just full of bangers. The First Avenger, which focuses on the origin of Steve Rogers as Captain America, basically functions as a WWII movie—albeit one with super soldiers and evil Nazis with red skull heads.

The First Avenger is just so good that on top of all the action, tension, drama, and stunning visuals, it just has an emotional through line that matters. Chris Evans is so ridiculously good at being Steve Rogers that we just really, really care about this guy. And we believe in his relationships: with Dr. Erskine, with Bucky, and, of course, with Peggy. One of the MCU’s great endings comes here too—you can tell why everyone was hyped out of their minds for The Avengers to finally hit theaters in 2012.

MCU understanding needed? That Howard Stark guy, with the mustache? Yeah, that’s Iron Man’s dad. You’re good from there.
