Every MCU Movie & TV Show Ranked Worst To Best

What makes Captain America: Civil War the best film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the conflict at its centre. Unlike most other films in the franchise, Civil War isn't concerned with potentially world-ending catastrophes, but the relationships and shared histories of its core characters.

In this unblemished instalment, Captain America and Falcon attempt to save a brainwashed Bucky Barnes, whilst Iron Man assembles a team to bring the Captain to justice for defying the recently signed and restrictive Sokovia Accords.

What follows is an intensely intimate story in which everyone's favourite heroes come to blows over their conflicted ideals, and Tony Stark learns the harrowing truth of what really happened the night his parents died.

From the iconic airport clash to the final Iron Man/Captain America throw-down, to the introduction of Black Panther and Spider-Man and its brilliantly ambiguous finale, Civil War is the single greatest instalment of the MCU so far, and it's going to take a lot to top it moving forward.
