Those movies are great, but I can’t compare them to anything MCU.

They are basically parodies of the superhero genre.

Ant man is meant to be serious with some light hearted humor sprinkled in.

That's not good. Actually, that's kind of the exact opposite of what I'd expect after Paul Rudd #1.

I thought it was funny and enjoyed it more than the first one. Evangeline Lilly I felt was the lead more than Rudd too. It was a fun movie.

I didn't think Ant Man was great. That was my point.

I guess it's like every great white hope wide receiver in Chiefs history. It's meh at best but somebody's going to do their best to convince me it's awesome. Marc Boerigter in movie form.

It wasn't bad there just wasn't anything to it aside from visuals. Basic plot, flat jokes, no emotional stakes, nothing. It's not some palate cleanser post-Avengers, it's just the lamest Marvel movie from the last several years. I'd put it about on par with Thor 2 or Iron Man 3. It's a disappointment to me after Black Panther and Ragnarok.

But it's not bad, per se. Just not especially good.

there were a lot of laughs from the audience all through the movie in the theatre when I saw this movie.

Same here. I really enjoyed it. Started a bit slow, but closed well.

Solid flick. I liked the first one better but it's hard for sequels to top originals. (Same went for "Deadpool 2".) As for the post-credits scene, we all assume that has something to do with "Infinity War 2" in terms of how they get out of the hole they've dug by killing half the population, and it's a good assumption given that IMDB lists three of the "Ant Man" cast as being in the next film.

Gonna take my little one to see it tonight. We both loved the first one. Hopefully this one holds up.

Man your friends just might be no fun. I don't see how you come out of the movie saying a lot of bad stuff about it. Not saying it was the greatest or anything, but it was an enjoyable movie, good action, good acting and characters, and enough humor to keep it light. I wouldn't let a few sour pusses keep you from it, if you like Marvel movies in general, you will very likely enjoy this one as well. And it ends with a bang in the mid-credit scene.

Saw it yesterday. Thought it was great. Ant Man is a much needed palette cleanser after the darkness of a lot of the other MCU movies recently (credits scene notwithstanding).

Good enough for me. Ant Man isn't one I paid for at the theater anyway. I'll be watching it on the Roku whenever it's available for rent...

I consider it superior to Infinity War. Well, I enjoyed it more than Infinity War.

Valiant 07-14-2018 12:31 PM

wow some harsh people. It is a solid marvel movie, and better as usual than most of DC movies.
