20 Most Critically Adored Comic Book Movies

11. Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Heath Ledger Joker
Marvel Studios

Rating: 89%

After the excitement of the Avengers glossed over the inadequacies of Iron Man 2, the MCU needed shaking up, and boy did this movie manage it.

It played with important political issues, it had fantastically written dialogue, and it saw Black Widow’s character developed in a way that makes her more than just a token woman hero in the male dominated MCU. That's no bad thing.
