5. Spider-Man: No Way Home

Spidey continues to showcase his dominance as the third MCU Spider-Man movie has also made itself at home among Rotten Tomatoes' Top 10 Marvel Studios movies. But this one shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, because Spider-Man: No Way Home was one of the biggest movies Hollywood has ever seen. And here's the thing; it actually lived up to the larger-than-life expectations, delivering an Avengers-like adventure that made so many fans' dreams come true.

The returns of Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire's Spider-Men were undoubtedly among No Way Home's biggest-selling points but the movie works on its own merits too, providing a larger-than-life conclusion to the MCU's Spider-Man: Homecoming trilogy that takes Peter Parker to a crossroads in his life where he must make a decision about what kind of hero he wants to be next.

The film felt like an Avengers movie and it played out like an Avengers movie too, sticking the landing it set for itself while also having one of the most emotional conclusions in recent MCU memory. That earned it that 93% certified fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, and it's safe to say that fans would agree as it also has a whopping 97% Popcornmeter (formerly known as the Audience Score) from fans.

Between the returning classic Spider-Men and the unforeseen twists in the story, Spider-Man: No Way Home is widely considered a Top 10 MCU movie, with a huge portion of fans also putting in their Top 5 too, so you won't find many arguments about this one's placement.
