Watched it last night. It was a fun movie and I think I liked it better than the first overall. It has its flaws. The villains weren't as good as the last Marvel films and the small-scale scenes weren't as good as the first IMO. This falls around the middle in terms of quality for a Marvel movie which isn't bad. I just wish there was more character development.

I really liked Hope here. Scott was still Scott. We get to see more of Hank here, which is good. The introduction of Janet opens up some interesting things for the MCU I think, but I don't know where they'll take that. Goliath was OK. I'm not a comic-book reader, but I liked the role he played here. Ghost was ok. Like the current Marvel villains, she gets a proper backstory, and you get to understand her motivations well. The other villain is rather forgettable.

Post credits-wise, the mid scene was great! The second one is more on the funny side, but is still ok.

It was good

Movie any good? I'm not convinced from the trailers look average.

 

[meanstreak]

I enjoyed the film more than the first... was fun and pretty much agree 100% with what e30 said above.

Seen it tonight. Wow, it was bad. I am wondering if this is the worst Marvel film.

Spoiler

I actually liked the first one and think it's in the top half, but IM3 and Thor: TDW were more entertaining and those are both the worst Marvel films. Wasp was the best part. Ant-Man "malfunctioned" most of the time, the villains were boring, Fishburne and Pfeiffer didn't even need to be in it. Seems like the story literally stopped for a while at multiple points during the movie. Kinda felt like they just wanted a Paul Rudd comedy. How many times does the FBI need to run to his house? And I waited til the end of the credits to see AN ANT PLAYING DRUMS FROM THE TRAILER?

Only reason I am not cancelling my AM preorder is cause he might be awesome in A4.

Nothing but good fun reviews I’ve been reading ..

As I thought Marvel wins the summer box office with IW and possibly AM

Sorry Solo

Could this beat JWFK ..we”ll see

Can someone DM me what the alleged Infinity War tie-in is? I probably won't see this one in theaters.

Spoiler

mid credits we see Ant-Man is sent into the quantum realm by Hank Pym, hope van dyne and Janet van dyne. Just as they are about to recall him back we hear their radio go to static. Scott thinks it's a joke, but it's revealed that the three of them were dusted by thanos leaving Scott stranded in the quantum realm.

I guess people were also thinking...

Spoiler

during that scene Janet warns Scott to watch out for a "time vortex" and that perhaps while he's in there he will use it to time travel and join the avengers in A4. Which would help explain his presence in the battle of New York in behind the scenes photos.

I wouldn't say "bad" but ya it wasn't a great movie. Even my wife who generally enjoys all Marvel movies didn't care for it.

If we are only counting the movies in the phases then ya It's up there with Thor 2/IM 2/IM3 as one of the worst. I won't count DD, FF, GR, Elektra.

This is one you can probably just redbox when it comes out if you really wanted but I'd assume most of us on this forum would be seeing it at sometime in the near future in the theater.

 

[jye4ever]

The movie is projected to open 55% bigger than AntMan 1.

Feige is a beast.

 

[jnmx2000]

Saw it last night and loved it! I would say it's just a better version of the first film, better jokes, better action, better characters and a story that's on par if not slighty better than the first film.

Also the mid credits scene has me jazzed for A4, can not wait for next year.

I saw the first Ant-man in theatres and thought it was nothing special below average. Purchased it on blu ray when released and have watched it several times after. After several years I now find it enjoyable, fun and entertaining. The moral of the story….never judge a movie after first viewing.

Can definitely agree with that. For the longest I thought I liked Thor 2 more than Thor 1. The only times I saw them were in the theater. Watched both at home before Thor 3 and man did my opinion change.

That happened to me with Avengers 2. Wasn't a big fan when I first saw it. Thought the movie was OK at best. However, my sons and I watched Winter Soldier, Avengers 2, and Civil War over 2 days to get ready for Infinity War. Sure enough, after I watched the movies so close together, I enjoyed Avengers 2 much more. It just felt more integral to the overall storyline the MCU laid out over the years. The creation of Vision and the aftereffects of the destruction of Sokovia lead in perfectly to Civil War and Infinity War. A second viewing gave me a new appreciation for Avengers 2.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Can someone DM me ....

I don't do that kind of thing.

Ya sometimes you don't really get to breakdown and notice things when you're in the theater versus watching it at home. It easy to get distracted by constant action on the screen, loud explosions, ect. At home for me personally I seem to be more alert to smaller things.
