We’ve partnered up with Hoyts Cinemas to poll cinema-loving Kiwis on the big questions that define our country’s tastes in movies. Last month’s poll was: What is the greatest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
VOTE & WIN TICKETS IN THE CURRENT HOYTS POLL (MOST ROMANTIC MOVIE OF THE LAST DECADE)
We asked you to choose your favourite from the full list of films that are a part of the MCU (Deadpool and X-Men etc. don’t count). The following Top 12 is ranked from least favoured to most favoured, along with quotes from fellow Flicksters about why they voted for that film.
12. Iron Man 2
“I know it’s generally the most hated, but Iron Man getting whipped with electro-whips was good fun to watch!” – Tyler
11. Thor: The Dark World
“The Dark World, for me, was the ultimate combination of LOTR-ish dark elves, Star Wars-ish planes and my favourite Marvel Character: Thor!” – Sam R.
10. Iron Man 3
“Shane Black’s script beats every other possible consideration!” – Daniel K.
9. The Incredible Hulk
“Anger is a great catalyst for positive change to right wrongs.” – Sarah H.
8. Ant-Man
“The one and only example of the film actually being better than the trailer.” – Richard H.
7. Captain America: The First Avenger
“The best origin story by far.” – Jimmy R.
6. The Avengers: Age of Ultron
“You got more characters, more action and you finally got to see The Vision! You also got to know a bit more about Hawkeye who is maligned all too often.” – Sian T.
5. Thor
“It was just the bomb that’s all.” – Helen S.
4. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
“Three Days of the Condor and Heat with superheroes. Excelsior!” – Luigi B.

1. Guardians of the Galaxy
“Guardians just had everything in spades: humour, sci-fi, action, love story and empathy. It really was awesome.” – Lee W.
