Lame movie... Dont believe Im alone

Lots of people telling one after another how cool and great this movie was ... except it was pretty weak. The first hour is atrocious, boring, forced, it was like the movie never started. Only the second half was slightly entertaining.

And all these people claiming they have just watched the best movie in their lifes, they have watched the movie ten times already... Jesus. People are so desperate to call atention, everything now is a battle. Everywhere is "A" vs "B", everything is a excuse to create a rivalry.
I can only think about people needing to state that marvel is the better one to praise so much a mediocre movie. I dont care if its Marvel or DC , I have watched amazing movies from both, but one thing is for sure, this movie is nowhere as good as many of these fanatics claim it to be.

Jacarutu!

This was a terrible, cliche-ridden movie with laughable dialogue, bad pacing, and C-list casting. Like watching bad television.

You're right, it was laughable dialogue...because the movie was hilarious! Way to go Paul Rudd :D

Glad at least a few people think so. I was shocked at how lame this was. I haven't done a scientific analysis of it, but the Marvel movies seem to be getting more phoned-in, cliche-ridden and cheap of late. I know they spend a lot, but Ant Man is a good example of half the scenes looking like a very good ABC dramatic TV series, and half looking like a very good cut scene from a video game. But not one, cohesive film that I believed in for one moment.

Were it not for the breath of fresh air that was Deadpool I'd really be lamenting any future of good superhero movies.

I want DC to do better because it will force Marvel to do better. And, when Marvel does better, DC will do better.

In the end, comic book fans such as us benefit.

With that being said, this was a pretty good movie. It didn't make a half billion just by comic book fans. It appealed to non-comic book fans.

And, when you consider that Ant-Man is a "3rd level" hero, that makes it all the more impressive.

Much rather watch a cleverly filmed, entertaining production such as this with action. plenty of humour and direct links to the other Avengers, than the death, destruction and darkness of the DC films.🐭

[–] justanicknamed 8 years ago

That's what gets me about DC fanboys. Marvel is working to link everything together. DC JUST NOW put two characters together, and really only did that because they saw the success of Marvel and The Avengers.

DC seems to be throwing everything against the wall and looking for what sticks. Marvel is putting it all together in one huge, great package.

And, again, I want DC to do better. I don't hate their stuff, but I think they can get their sh!t together and do better, thus making Marvel do better....

So why you hate The Dark Knight trilogy so passionately? (In fact, so passionately, you have no restrictions in name-calling Heath Ledger, despite the fact that he's dead.) The Dark Knight trilogy for sure have done much better than current DC movies, or eve any MCU movie thus far. But you seem to not like it anyway. So what is your personal criteria of how to make good DC movie?

DC has proven that it can't get anything right. Man of Steel and BvS have been plagued by bad casting/director decisions, terrible writing, retelling of origins (because the audience is stupid apparently) and an ill-advised marketing campaign where the latter is concerned. Marvel has been taken more calculated risks (people laughed at Ant-Man but I loved it due to Rudd and look how much he's improved in Civil War? Also, A-M was critically well-received).

Marvel Studios know what their audience wants and deserves; and disagree with John Campea who reckons DC and Marvel should work together. No.

[–] boxerrebellion 8 years ago

Ant-man (the character) doesn't have the charisma of CAP, Thor, or Stark; in fact, any of the Avengers have ore charisma. The best lines were by Cassie and some random cop ('I hope you don't find him.' and the one about the giant ant being an ugly dog). I'd have rather seen a movie about Hawkeye helping Black Widow turn from the Dark Side.

He had plenty of charisma, in my opinion.

Usually a Trekkie likes this stuff. There into the comic movies. I am not really a comic lover of DC movie lover. I will skip movies that are like this one but I got suckered into a free watch with someone in the family taking me to it. I don't like the family action kind of movies and this has way too much comedy stupidity in it. I am so sick of people thinking that being crude and trying to being stupid means funny.

Almost anything comedy out in last decade or more is bad stuff. They add it to movies that are not even comedy kind and they just stink. This is PG-13. So I assuming more teenagers are rating this higher. Probably same for "The Conjuring", and just because it is rated R, does not mean squat.

They all get in with adult guardians or sneak into seeing it. So many bad movies on this site are rated higher than the better ones.

I am a gore watching freak!!!

If it don't have it, it isn't worth the watch.

For a kiddie movie, it wasn't that bad

[–] vappour 8 years ago

You may not be alone, but, judging from the box office receipts, you are definitely in the minority.

[–] Schawaz 8 years ago

Agree 100%. Paul Rudd is likeable, Micheal Cena is sometimes funny and some of the action scenes are quite entertaining. But the rest is lika soft, slushy sirup.

This movie is boring, far-fetched (even for a comic book/fantasy movie) and just feels bland.

I remember thinking this will be terrible. Then watched Civil War and thought his cameo was hilarious so I'd give it a shot. I just found it dull...Not particularly funny or inventive.
