I think it's much better than Thor. In fact, only Guardians and both Captain America movies beat this one as a stand alone movie. The beginning is slow, no doubt. It seems like it takes forever for Lang to get the suit--but that's a problem I have with a lot of super hero movies in that they take forever to get the hero going. Once he does get the suit and starts training though, I felt like it was a non-stop ride.Evonisia said:Seems very much like a pre-Thor Phase 1 film from the description, which isn't incredibly promising.

I would advise reading past the first page - although even that doesn't come anywhere close to hate.piscian said:Sigh goddamn man you need to get some ritalin or something, yet another review of you just hating eveything. Do you even like movies? Anyway Im gonna see it tonight. Everything I'm reading from the superherohype community is that it doesnt top gaurdians but its still great, above average in the MCU.
You said he hated everything. That's quite clearly not the case. And I at least agree that it sounded like he enjoyed it. But I disagree that the faults he found with the film were "bored hipster whining".piscian said:Youre cherry picking, the entire tone of the review sounds like bored hipster whining.

"The shrinking effects are great"
"Ant-Man is pretty funny overall, and while it's easy to be concerned with Rudd playing a superhero, it wound up working quite well"
"the action is fun and fresh, and the entire thing is funny, so it's not like it's a chore to sit through"
"an entertaining, if slight, trip to the movies"
"Is it enjoyable? Yes"
"it's enjoyable as it's playing."
"it's worth your time"
Personally, that doesn't sound like hate to me.
Anyway, sounds enjoyable enough that I'll see it at some point, whether in the cinema or on Blu-Ray.
Both. Can't tell you who's in them or what they do without spoiling the surprise, but they are totally worth it.Grimh said:Man it opens next week on the 22nd over here. I'm still looking forward to seeing it even if it falls behind the better Marvel movies.
It sounds like it's at least a fun watch.

Great thank you. I always forget to check this before going to see these movies.Darth_Payn said:Both. Can't tell you who's in them or what they do without spoiling the surprise, but they are totally worth it.

I've watched it now (was going to anyway), I'd say it was fine enough and I'd probably rate it higher than this review did. The drama worked in the first half but not the second, but that's OK because the action is quite good and it's a visually lovely film. I really liked the cameo because I don't like that cameo character, like at all. That character drags down parts of the film said character was introduced in for me.Sniper Team 4 said:I think it's much better than Thor.

And the review is right. The cameo that shows up in the movie is easily the best part. That's not to say that the rest of the movie is terrible or boring--I thought the heist was fun, as well as the final fight--but the cameo scene is just amazing.
