It's been a month and everyone is still talking about Ant-Man especially after Fantastic Bore. How can one company get it so right and one get it so wrong?
Apparently Peyton Reed, the director of Ant-Man, is a hard core Ant-Man fan. It surely looks like it.
Josh Trank, director of the Fantastic Four fiasco -- not so much.
When Spider-Man was directed by Sam Raimi, who grew up with a Spider-Man poster on his wall, it was good (two times out of three anyway) even though it was FOX.

I don't agree. Raimi Spider-Man didn't work for me. Mostly because Peter Parker was nothing special before he got his powers. He didn't even have the Spider-Man humor and the whole thing came off as cartoonish. None of the characters felt like real people.
I always thought they were open about what they wanted and didn't want out of a movie, so I could always see value in their review regardless of whether or not I agreed with their general verdict.

This is the most generously comic of all Marvel films to date, with the zaniest, coolest performances; the stakes are refreshingly low... there's no aerial battle with the fate of the world at play in the final act. I liked that.
