As little as five years ago, who would have ever put money on this fact? With Civil War now an official instant classic the trilogy is complete. Those of us that knew the character knew of the depth and complexity present in his mythos but even fans had to wonder if any studio could ever do the character justice. Well, the best case scenario has occurred. Everything fell together perfectly in terms of talent. Joe Johnston was the perfect first director to helm the origin story given his Rocketeer and Raiders of the Lost Ark resume. Add that the cast came together as if it were fate. Actors like John Krasinski fell by the waste side as Chris Evans put aside his fears and Marvel looked past his Human Torch days and spotted the absolutely perfect embodiment of Steve Rogers. Add really unknown talents like Haley Atwell and Sebastian Stan and casting was beyond a home run. Veterans like Tommy Lee Jones, Toby Jones and Stanley Tucci were wonderful and smartly injected in to the story. Then, Marvel intelligently shifted gears and tapped two unknown TV guys to direct Winter Soldier. Everyone at the time was puzzled that the guys from Community and Arrested Development would be handed Captain America after The Avengers movie. Marvel was mocked by the competition for the move. Man, talk about finding talent. The Russo’s may be the best young directors to break in to Hollywood since young Spielberg unveiled his Jawsmania. By using the same talent but adding to it with Civil War, Marvel has given the Russos the keys to everything and the budget and talent to back their vision. What results is Civil War and what most people are calling the greatest superhero film ever made. It all built to this with every film getting even better from a very high starting point with First Avenger. Those correctly labeling this the best trilogy of all-time certainly have been paying attention and they are 100% correct.

It's clear to all those that judge with an open heart and an open mind both in place. Captain America has given us our best trilogy.

After rewatching TFA and TWS over the last few days, I can say with total confidence that the Cap trilogy is the best trilogy of all time along with the Toy Story Trilogy, followed by Star Wars 4-6. I grappled with the LOTR trilogy, but as much as I love those movies, there are some things in them that are unjustifiable to me (though LOTR would still be top 5 for me).

On a side note, I wish people would rewatch The First Avenger. Maybe I just love that movie because I'm a history buff, but it's everything I could ever ask for in a Cap origin movie. Then again, I don't read comics, so maybe there are adaptational flaws I'm unaware of.

I totally agree. Cap is the best trilogy ever made.
