【推荐1】The 3 Best Marvel Films-Ranked!
It seems that ranking films well is always a tough task. In the hearts of millions of fans, everyone has his own choice. Superhero films are even more so. Recently, The Guardian (卫报) has selected three of the most popular Marvel films.
No. 3 Blade Ⅱ
This film continues the story of an earlier 1998’s Blade and is directed by Guillermo. The story once again concerns the mysterious daywalker, played by Wesley Snipes. It is an action film full of high technology and the fighting scenes Guillermo expresses are horribly exciting. Not a typical superhero film, in many ways, but a great one.
No. 2 Black Panther
This superb film is an entertaining adventure, with a richer component of fantasy than the other Marvel films. The character of Black Panther is established as one of Marvel’s greatest heroes. It is a big hit across the board. It also employs Rachel Morrison who is MCU’s first woman cinematographer, a photographer who operates a movie camera. Marvel Studios’ president, Kevin Feige, has promised to get more women writers and directors on board. So far, the only Marvel female writer is Nicole Perlman for Guardians of the Galaxy.
No. 1 Thor: Ragnarok
It is smart, visually exciting and perhaps above all, funny. And it’s funny in a way that only Marvel films can be. It suggests that to some degree comedy can be an important part of the drama. Taika Waititi was an inspired choice as director. Hemsworth plays the role of Thor and Cate Blanchett plays Hela, the goddess of death who also happens to be Thor’s half-sister.
