^gamemaster1991 - Yeah you probably would need to watch most of them, however you could skip the origin films of the Avengers characters, watch The Avengers and the movies that take place after that because really The Avengers gives you exactly the character development you need for who the characters are and what they can do. Then the 3 films after; Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier will help you understand the current phase of films Marvel is releasing.
Although I would add watching the first Captain America film as that leads right into The Avengers and you can then have the sequel Captain America film make sense as far as the over arching consequences of events.
It is all like some weird history class with a film series isn't it. You can't really understand some actions without knowing what happened before, somewhere else. If you wait though and save up enough, there probably will be a big giant Phase 1 and Phase 2 film set released so people who still haven't seen all the films but don't want to hunt down all of them individual can get the box sets of all the relevant films together which usually culminate with a cross over film like The Avengers.
