Marvel's "Ant-Man"
Can't find a thread and the new useless Google search function sucks donkey balls.
Just watched it in IMAX. I enjoyed it. Good origin story, had humor, human interest, decent action, decent effects, left it open to bring him right into the new movie canon. Wasn't stupid or silly as I feared. It won't make a ton of money but will be on par with some of the "Captain America" and "Thor" box office takes. |

Oh, yeah, and the 3D was well done and kind of essential to really put you into his miniature world. Not sure how good the film would play in 2D; might seem sillier.
Michael Douglas still has it. So does Evangeline Lily, in a different way. I've always liked Paul Rudd so had no problems with his lead. Much like TV's "The Flash", he's just a fairly normal guy. The sidekicks were okay, although in hindsight they were pretty stereotyped. The villain was a necessary evil to the plot and was underdeveloped in an unfortunately typical way for modern superhero films. |

Oh, yeah: nice opening flashback scene to the late 80s, featuring Hayley Atwell and John Slattery. |

The MCU is not completely but mostly following the Ultimates Universe...

Going to see it tonight. How good were the "hidden credits" scenes?

Saw one mid-credits scene, introduces a new character you probably guessed was coming halfway through the film. Didn't stay to the end.

I don't think there are any elements in the Ant-Man movie that are borrowed from the Ultimate Universe. Darren Cross as Yellowjacket wasn't sourced from any comic story.
