It's so much fun watching this movie. Fresh, inventive and action packed

Collider video is the new AMC Movietalk. Those guys all moved over to that site. John Campea and company.

For those that don't want to watch all 14 minutes, they call it "fresh, inventive and action packed. I was blown away with happiness" (1:24 mark)

"The action and comedy blended so well." (3:10 mark)

"Such a unique and spectacular thumbprint." (4:19 mark)

"Every supporting character only added to the story and every single character was so well done. Perfect casting." (6:24 mark)

"Everyone is multidimensional." (9:00 mark)

"It's so much fun watching this movie. It's rare that you walk in to a huge comic book film and you don't know what to expect. You can be taken by surprise. The fact that Ant-Man was able to do that and do it so well I was so happy with it. I go to the movies to have fun and this movie was a ball from start to finish." (9:28 mark)

"I don't have a complaint at all about this movie." (10:22 mark)

"I think this movie is fun, charming and entertaining." (11:52 mark)

Collider Video review with John Campea and Mark Ellis are going to become the new Siskel and Ebert At The Movies for the 21st century. Honestly, they now have the biggest stage on the web and will be promoted more than anything on that old AMC channel. Also, being free of AMC means they can bash more freely current run films.

What can I say about the performances? Everybody is great and the chemistry is different between every single lead character. That’s just an exquisite thing to savor because it’s done right in this case.

They did so with heart and intelligence.

Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) isn’t an “every man” really. He’s gone to prison for a crime that few would have thought to commit, much less possess the skills to accomplish. Yet, he’s a man, struggling financially, determined to become a better father for his daughter, and caught in a self-sabotaging cycle that he’s desperate to escape. Most of us will be able to relate to at least one of those circumstances. When Scott is swept into a world that he could scarcely imagine, he responds with a hilarious incredulity that grounds the world and allows the audience to buy into it.

It thrills me to see this film showing such great legs. It is walkin' and talkin' in the Top 5 at the Box Office--despite the arrivals of several new films the last few weeks. Work it Ant-Man, work it!

Is that the truth?

[–] David_Blue 9 years ago

I agree with all of that, especially the first bit. The movie makes it very clear that you have to be an unusual man to use the suit effectively for good, and Scott Lang is that man.

Also, it takes an unusual man to pay the price without complaint. "The suit takes its toll." We never hear what that toll is, but it's enough to deter the original Ant-Man. What kind of man would pay that toll? Hank Pym himself (though he would not have his only daughter pay it), but also Scott Lang: a man who would risk prison to carry out a "Robin Hood" idealistic heist.

The background that Scott Lang was a criminal, which I thought might turn me off the movie, became one of the biggest positives.

Fresh beats the alternative almost every time. Wine is a good example of something that's not better fresh.

Hearing about a sequel makes me smile but I wish I didn't have to wait so long.

I watched the whole thing and boy did they sound really excited about it. Yeah they got me even more excited. I think AM is going to be a big hit after all. Once the nerds starts getting excited then it becomes infectious lol. The fact one of them thought it was actually better than IM says a lot. I know thats not considered the best film these days but it still holds up a lot and its still probably the best origin story film which obviously this is, so if he said that, that gives you pause. Cant wait now. I need something to hold my MCU fix then watching AoS reruns lol.

Marvel 2015: Agents of Shield, Agent Carter, Avengers 2, Daredevil, Ant-Man, Jessica Jones!

I need something to hold my MCU fix then watching AoS reruns lol.

AoS then Jessica Jones in the Fall/Winter works.

Next year is going to be strange (no pun intended) if I remember right. We get Civil War in early May then Fox's X-Men Apocalypse in late May and then nothing for the entire summer until late in the year. Dr. Strange will be November right?

When is Daredevil season two releasing?

AoU is still a great movie. The only reason that wasn't at 90% like the first is because of the "big boy on the block" backlash from a few jaded critics.

Ant-Man getting pretty glowing reviews and some positive early word of mouth has me very excited for it and for phase three.

[–] sacflyzone 9 years ago

The reviews have settled and all those with an agenda have been purged out and exposed. Ant-Man is overwhelmingly being praised and is getting the best word of mouth possible.

[–] SpanishRicky 9 years ago

Ant-Man shows that Walt Disney’s Marvel is as adept at dialogue as it is action.

[–] ThomasMagnumPI 9 years ago

I can watch just about anyone talk about a movie that I like just about all day lone. That's why these youtube blogger guys get so many hits. A lot of film fans are like me.

For me the movie overcame any silly, 'can't be taken seriously' vibes pretty easily, and quickly. I mean, the tone is playful and light, but seriously, miniature people armed with weapons would be a highly effective asset.

[–] StarkTech 9 years ago

Because of the cast. Even Corey Stoll who plays Darren Cross, who intends to use Pym’s Yellowjacket suit for his own evil ends.
