loved by the critics for a reason. Great film! - Ant-Man (2015) Discussion

The movie was really good. Easily a top five Marvel film for me. It might even be in my top three.

I though it was fun and I was entertained though out.

Yellowjacket is easily one of the better Marvel villains. Clear motivations and he had a personality.

Many people said Michael Pena was the most funny but I thought David Dastmalchian's character Kurt was even more funny.

The microphotography was fantastic and the CGI was brilliant.

I really want to see more of Hank and Janet's adventures.

Has anyone seen ANY Ant-Man posters in stores yet?

Besides Micheals, K-Mart and Walmst?

Some Twilight movie was on tv the other night and I caught a glimpse of it. There was a horrifically bad CGI baby.

Even considering the budget for Ant-man is half of what that film was (and even less than that when you add in inflation), the Ant-man effects straight up blow everything right out of the water.

If they announce a sequel do you think they will jam in into Phase 3, or do you think that should start Phase 4??

reply

[–] blackdoug 9 years ago

If they push Ant-Man 2 to Phase 4, Paul Rudd will probably be in his 50s. I wish Marvel would push the Inhumans out for Ant-Man 2, to be honest. I'm much more interested in this sequel with the new Wasp than a group of mutant-wannabes.

Everyone knows I'm a Marvel fanboy but I also tend to have a finger on the pulse of the GA. This film doesn't have the same amount of Hype as movies like GotG and other MCU films before it but it does have a good amount of buzz going on in the world. Boxoffice.com posted a few weeks ago Ant-Man's total awareness level was at 77% and that was before the final push of the Marvel Marketing Machine blitz. Almost all of the social media buzz (especially the early screening stuff) is glowing. I had the same feeling about GotG and predicted big things about that movie before it dropped and was certain of it once I saw it on OW. I have the same feeling with this film and I've already caught an early screening so I know it's damn good. The heart is what is going to connect with the GA, the comedy is what is going to get people talking and the action as well. Now when I see any Marvel film I always make sure to drag my best bud to the films, he is usually a good barometer as to what the GA will think since he is not a fanboy like me and not familiar with the source material. The last Marvel movie he straight up didn't like: CA:TFA and we all know how the RT score and reviews went for that film. He loved GotG, thought AoU was decent, loved TWS, thought TWD was good and really loved the Avengers. He thought some of the comedy wasn't all that funny but said there were many times he had genuine laughs which surprised him since it takes a lot for him to LOL. He plans on taking his GF with him on OW to see it again with me because he liked it that much. I also saw the early screening with my best bud's friend and although I don't know him very well he really loved the movie too but is mildly familiar with the Marvel movies. Is this a dramatic consensus? Not by any means but in all the years of following the Marvel films I can't recall being wrong about one of their films yet.

Considering DC Trolls start and bump all those Marvel SUX threads over and over, is it REALLY a bad thing for a Marvel fan to make and bump a bunch of non-attacking positive threads?

Not bad at all!

The same reason Doctor Strange is rated so high.

reply

[–] mh-newressistance 7 years ago

Average score for Ant-Man on Rotten Tomatoes is 6.8. That is definitely an indication that it wasn't loved by critics. The Dark Knight has average score of 8.6. That is an indicator that 90+ of critics thought the movie was great. Those 6.8 numbers for Ant-Man mean that the critics thought it was OK/good, not great or amazing.
