Saying I like something more is not the same as saying I think something is better. I prefer Man of Steel because the tone fits my taste more, to a degree I prefer the performances and I definitely prefer the soundtrack. But really the movies are about equal in my eyes. Both have good qualities and both have shortcomings. I just like watching MoS a little more. But if either of them were on HBO at this moment, I'd happily watch. And some days I may prefer Avengers.
Guardians may have been the best Marvel movie to date. Although I'd tend to go with Winter Soldier. Because another unpopular opinion I have is that I don't like Iron Man quite as much as other folks seem to. I also, I think, like both of the Thor movies more than most. I thought the first Captain America was okay, but not great. The second Iron Man was bad. I liked the third Iron Man, and didn't think there was anything wrong with how they handled Mandarin in it (as well as in the subsequent short).
I also liked both First Class and Days of Future Past about as much as I've liked any of the in-house Marvel Studios movies. The Wolverine was pretty good as well, although I thought it fell apart a bit in the final act. I've never seen any of the Fantastic Four movies, thought the first movie of the first Spider-Man trilogy was okay, the second was good, and the third was something I'm trying to forget I ever saw. I haven't seen either of the Garfield ones.
