With "Avengers: Infinity War" in theaters, many are likely reflecting on their favorite movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"Infinity War" is impressive, but how does it stack up against the other 18 movies in the MCU?

Business Insider's Carrie Wittmer and Travis Clark have thought (a lot) about it, and compiled a ranking of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, including "Infinity War."

To reach a consensus, Wittmer and Clark made their own personal rankings of the 19 movies, and assigned scores to them. The best movie would have 19 points, and descend from there so the worst movie on their list had 1 point.

They then took the average score of each movie. In the case of ties, they discussed which movie should come out on top.

It would appear that the MCU has only gotten better with age, as many of the first movies are toward the bottom of the list. These rankings will also need to be updated soon, since "Ant-Man and the Wasp" comes out in July and "Captain Marvel," the first female led MCU film, comes out in March 2019.

Below is the Business Insider ranking of all 19 movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe:

19. "Iron Man 2" (2010)

Carrie's ranking: 19

Travis' ranking: 19

Combined score: 1

"Iron Man 2" is the worst of the bunch, which is sad when taking into consideration just how great the first movie was two years prior. But "Iron Man 2" came at a time when Marvel still didn't have this whole cinematic universe thing running like a well-oiled machine (hard to imagine now), and "Iron Man 2" was more of an overstuffed suitcase full of pre-"Avengers" subplots than an actual movie. — Travis

18. "The Incredible Hulk" (2008)

Carrie's ranking: 18

Travis' ranking: 18

Combined score: 2

As evidenced by the bottom two movies on this list, it's a wonder that the MCU even survived after "Iron Man." "The Incredible Hulk" and "Iron Man 2" both followed it, and they weren't exactly promising. Mark Ruffalo is our Bruce Banner/Hulk now, but back in 2008, Edward Norton was in the role. Imagine Norton trading jokes with Chris Hemsworth in "Thor: Ragnarok." I can't. — Travis

17. "Thor" (2011)

Carrie's ranking: 16

Travis' ranking: 16

Combined score: 4

Remember when very serious British man Kenneth Branagh made a “Thor” movie? What a gas! The first “Thor” movie is not bad by any means, and it’s actually quite fun but mostly because Loki is in it. But it’s a lot more formulaic than what the MCU movies have become. It set up the wrong tone for Thor being taken way too seriously. But Hawkeye is in this more than he is in “Infinity War,” which is nice. — Carrie
