I think I’ve settled on a personal rating system today. 1-10 doesn’t mean much and I don’t like ranking, and so I’ve found myself comparing a film to other films I felt similarly about in order to express how I felt about. So I thought we’d get the MCU ArArArRated, let’s start at the top
Iron Man 1 - What 2 films would you most compare it to?

How you want to compare? To other MCU movies? To other CBM's? To movies in general?

Im pretty sure he just means any movie. Although I guess you could use your discretion with what factors to compare?
Well, I choose Batman Begins, although I prefer it over Iron Man. Obviously about a hero, mentor and then gets betrayed by said mentor.
Other one would be-maybe Kingsman but it was a little more fun

Ok I would say Batman Begins too. And yes, I think Batman Begins is a better movie than Iron Man.

Just compare them to Jesus.
Iron Man 1: Bigger than Jesus!
GotG: About the same as Jesus, give or take a miracle
Thor The Dark World: Worse than Satan! 😈
(Actually, I like TDW, but it was the best fit for this particular punchline 👿 )

Batman Begins has more depth than Ironman 1 so don't see how that comparison works other than both being an origin.
I would compare it to the first Kingsman and less so, Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Well both Batman Begins and Iron Man 1 have the mentor that becomes the villain theme. So there is that. But like I said Batman Begins is the better film. To me that was the best CBM of all time until Avengers Infinity War. So Iron Man cannot compete in my book.

Although I think Stane hated Tony Stark from beginning to finish anyway. Ras and Bruce had a real respect between each other and looked out for one another until League of Shadows targetted Gotham. Begins is good but I don't like the ending that much, too darkly lit hard to see whats going on.

How you want to compare? To other MCU movies? To other CBM's? To movies in general? Any movies at all. Whatever you most relate it to I imagine you’ll probably relate them more often to other comic book films but if you feel lit’s exactly as good as a crime drama or war movie or anything else, then yeah go with whatever you think it’s most like.

I’d compare it to...
Cast Away - Both protagonists are trapped in a certain state for a certain amount of time throughout the movie until they are rescued.
Big Hero 6 - Technology creating is involved, as well as a bad guy that uses the main character’s tools as their source of power.

The reason I asked for more than 1, is that one film is never and clone but you kind of get the idea of how somebody views a film if you start hearing multiple films. A wise elder once told me that you are the average of the five people you most associate with. None of them are the same, but all of them represent a significant piece of you are.
