The Mandarin plot twist was fucking ace. I don't really care about comic fidelity, but it truly, truly worked as a movie and managed to surprise Iron Man comic fans. But I think it received a lot of backslash because of that.
About the order I normally watch the MCU movies:
1. Captain America: The First Avenger
2. Iron Man
3. Iron Man 2
4. The Incredible Hulk
5. Thor
6. Avengers
7. Iron Man 3
8. Thor: The Dark World
9. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
10. Guardians of the Galaxy
11. Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2
12. Avengers: Age of Ultron
13. Ant-Man
14. Captain America: Civil War
15. Doctor Strange
16. Spider-man: Homecoming
17. Thor: Ragnarok
This is basically the chronological order based on some MCU forums I've checked and references to previous movies. It works. I mean, it's not a huge deal to watch them in the release order, but two GotG movies on the row is always good xD.
