Every Marvel film ranked with surprise entry near the top
From action-packed classics like Black Panther and Avengers: Endgame to more of the lesser-known favourites, here are the top ten rated Marvel Cinematic Universe films of all time, according to Rotten Tomatoes reviewers The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) stretches across time and space, boasting a dizzying array of characters; from chattering raccoons to brooding Russian spies, all within an impressive tally of 36 films. Devotees of superheroes and comics can finally find solace as Rotten Tomatoes has settled a long-standing argument by ranking the MCU films according to ratings from genuine moviegoers. The list includes much-loved classics that introduced us to some cherished heroes, alongside record-smashing blockbusters, offering a mixed bag within the top ten. Utilising the trusted Tomatometer, Rotten Tomatoes has computed an aggregate score from audience reviews, with rankings varying drastically — from an almost flawless 96% to a modest 46%. Eyebrows may be raised at certain entries occupying lofty spots, but many aficionados will rejoice at the revelation that the 2018 sensation Black Panther is perched at the summit, reports the Mirror US. The film's release triggered renewed fervour for the MCU and proudly took its place in history as their first flick to earn an Oscar. Hot on its heels is none other than Marvel's Avengers: Endgame, amassing a stellar review score of 94%. Beyond being the top-earning movie globally for several years, it cemented its popularity instantly, touted by fans as "one of the best movies of the genre." In a surprise twist, 2021's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings took seventh place, boasting a 92% fan rating. As the 25th instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it faced stiff competition but won over viewers with its unique blend of martial arts action, heartfelt storytelling, and stunning visuals. One reviewer praised: "Shang-Chi is a breath of fresh air in the MCU, blending martial arts action, heartfelt storytelling, and stunning visuals. Simu Liu shines in the lead role, bringing charm, depth, and humor. "The fight choreography is some of the best Marvel has ever done, and the cultural representation adds a rich, meaningful layer. It's exciting, emotional, and fun from start to finish. Nearly perfect-just wanted a bit more from the villain. Still, a top-tier Marvel experience!". Another fan raved: "Shang Chi is an emotional and action-packed movie that you will thoroughly enjoy. It introduces a well-built father-son dynamic, has amazing action sequences that utilize Kung Fu very well, and introduces a magical world in an intriguing way." Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Homecoming swung into fifth place, with fans awarding it an impressive 93% rating. Tom Holland's performance as the web-slinging hero clearly resonated with audiences. Many Rotten Tomatoes viewers have hailed this film as their "favourite" among the Marvel movies. One enthusiast declared it's "the most ambitious, action-packed, and emotionally satisfying live-action Spider-Man movie ever made." For those wondering what didn't quite hit the mark, the lowest-rated film received an overall score of 46%, based on reviews. The 2023 release Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, featuring Paul Rudd as the charismatic hero, has been voted by fans as the worst film in the MCU.

Marvel soundtracks assemble with a live symphony orchestra
If you had to name a movie almost everyone recognises, chances are something from Marvel Studios would be at the top of the list. From the fan-favourite Iron Man to the epic Avengers: Endgame, the studio has been winning hearts (and breaking box office records) for over a decade. And even though new superheroes keep joining the crew, the original legends are still as iconic as ever. That's probably why the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra (RBSO) is bringing 'Marvel Movie Music' to the stage. It is a journey through the musical scores that shaped the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Happening on June 26-27 at the Thailand Cultural Centre, the event brings those epic soundtracks to life through a full live orchestra, led by RBSO's resident conductor, Vanich Potavanich. Known for his multifaceted talent, he holds significant roles as music director and conductor for ensembles such as the National Symphony Orchestra and Rangsit Symphony Orchestra, alongside numerous guest conducting engagements both domestically and internationally. This special evening will feature themes from Iron Man, Black Panther, Captain America, The Avengers and Avengers: Endgame. Whether you're a Marvel superfan or just love a good orchestral performance, it's a night not to be missed.
