Best Action Sequences From Each Film In Marvel's Phase One
In this editorial I will share my thoughts on what I believe to be the best action scenes in all of Marvel Studios first phase. Did one of your favorites make it? You'll have to take the jump to check it out!
Hello ComicBookMovie Community! Hope you've all been having a great time. Well, enough small talk, you're here to know which are the best actions scene from each film in Marvel Studios phase one. Well, the best of phase one in my opinion. So enough with the introduction. Lets get started!
Iron Man To The Rescue - Iron Man (2008)
Iron Man is filled with greatness, but the action scenes, for the most part, were pretty disappointing. This action scene in paticular though is awesome! From the very beginning to the very end. The sequence of events that occur are so natural and show off what Iron Man is capabale of. When he lays a beating to the Ten Rings and leaves the leader to the villagers, to when he gets knocked down by the tank and blows it up, to the chase scene with both military jets. This scene is just perfect to introduce the audience to Iron Man's abilities.
Hulk Vs The Army - The Incredible Hulk (2008)
The Incredible Hulk is filled with some really great action scenes, but the epic battle between Hulk and The Army is possibly one of my most favorite action scenes in the entire phase one line up. It's intense, powerful, raw, and the pace doesn't let up. When you see him bust through the glass and roar you know you're in for quite a ride and it is. The climax of the fight ends with Bolonski battling Hulk and just dodging him completely was just so well done it made me want more.
Monaco Battle - Iron Man 2 (2010)
This was the best action scene from Iron Man 2. Ivan Vanko comes from nowhere and just starts recking everything in front of him to get to his goal. Tony then needs to manage to not get killed while Pepper and Happy are getting the suit to him. The scene introduces Whiplash as a serious threat, sadly the rest of the film diminishes this, to Iron Man. Tony eventually gets his suitcase which transforms into his Mark IV(?) suit and Tony is still getting his asshanded until he firgures out a way to take Vanko down.
Jotunheim - Thor (2011)
I think it's safe to agree that Thor couldn't make lightning strike twice as the fight with the Destroyer was disappointing and the film's first action scene was its best. Thor is just completely overpowering all his opponents and when he call a lightning strike which creates a ripple is just so epic! The scene establishes Thor as possibly the most powerful Marvel character. The scope of the scene is huge as The Warriors Three, Lady Sif and Loki run from what appears to be a collapsing bridge and some minotaur looking thing. It's just great.
Storming Hydra - Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Watching Cap storm the hyrda base near the film's climax was awesome. From the chase scene to the way Cap would just overpower each Hydra soldier that came his way. The scene was entertaining, even though he gets captured in the end, but that was part of the plan.
Battle For New York - The Avengers (2012)
Possible the best action scene of all of phase one. It was everything I wanted to see and more. From the circle shot showing off all the members, down to the last moment. This action scene had everything. Showing all the heroes strengths then combing some of them like the moment in the gif above. It's just spectacular.
So do you all agree? Is there one you would change? If there is let me know in the comments below!
