Movie Power Rankings: 'The Avengers' stays at No. 1

From Crackle: Week of May 14, 2012

As for the rest of this week's list...

May 18, 2012

1. The Avengers" (Last week: No. 1)

There are a billion reasons why the Marvel movie is still on top after four weeks. A few years from now, the already-announced "Avengers 2" will likely be there as well. 


2. "Snow White and the Huntsman" (Last week: No. 8)

We've now seen enough clips to know what to expect of the fairy tale epic starring Kristen Stewart ("Twilight"), Charlize Theron ("Prometheus") and Chris Hemsworth ("The Avengers"), and the action looks great. 

3. "Django Unchained" (Last week: Not ranked)

Due to various scheduling conflicts, two big names have dropped out of Quentin Tarantino's upcoming western. Both Kurt Russell and Sacha Baron Cohen are out of the mix. Don't worry -- you'll still see Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson and many others.


4. "The Dark Knight Rises" (Last week: No. 2)

It's been a relatively quiet week for the Bat-film, but fans are atwitter about Marion Cotillard's claim that she's not playing a villain. Is this just one of Christopher Nolan's head games?


5. "Gangster Squad" (Last week: Not ranked)

Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Emma Stone, Anthony Mackie and Nick Nolte? Who's not in this movie? Watch the trailer here.


6. "Kick-Ass 2" (Last week: Not ranked)

Ready for more Hit Girl? Matthew Vaughn is to busy with the sequel to "X-Men: First Class," so he's handing over the reins to the largely untested Jeff Wadlow ("Never Back Down," "Cry Wolf"). 


7. "Fast Six" (Last week: No. 5)

Luke Evans ("The Raven," "Immortals") joins the all-star cast.


8. "The Campaign" (Last week: No. 6)
