Loved it like all of the other Marvel Studios films. Easy 8-8.5/10. Flaws were minor and never held the film back much.
Great visuals, great humor, and a ton of charm.
Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Game of Thrones
Oh, is this the end of phase 2? Thought it was the start of phase 3. Good to know.
This, GOTG and Cap 2 were the highlights of Phase 2 (as good if not better than anything in Phase 1).
Yeah, they decided late that Ant-Man would end Phase 2 and Civil War would launch Phase 3.
The Phase 2 Box Set coming at the end of this year will have Ant-Man included.
Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Game of Thrones
As with all of the studios films, Ant-Man also has a great deal of warmth. In the midst of their efforts to do nothing less than save the world, fathers are suturing old wounds with their daughters, as mentors and mentees form bonds... and break them. These are human issues, and even the core threat is fundamentally earth-bound. A world-altering weapon in the hands of a private corporation certainly isn’t a novel idea, but it is a very real concern. Yet it’s the relationships, rather than the plot, that drive Ant-Man.
shareIt's almost like Ant-Man was the greatest after credits link of all-time. Meaning, Marvel puts out a universally loved movie to follow Age of Ultron and set up all of Phase Three. It was the perfect slot for an intimate yet fun film.
sharePeyton Reed did a great job under some difficult circumstances. Ant-Man is full of heart, laughs, and some great action. I am thinking that this is going to have a a very high rewatchability factor.
shareAnt-Man is thematically strong and has true depth to every character we see on screen, even the supporting cast. Hell, ESPECIALLY the supporting cast. It uses its small size to its advantage and crafts a superb adventure with spellbinding special effects and performances and one fun story and thrilling plot points.
shareOverall, Ant-man is a fast-paced, witty and thrilling addition to the Marvel Universe and a winning lead turn from Paul Rudd which should cement his status as new leading action hero.
shareAnt-Man isn't reinventing the wheel but it surely is more impressive than most assumed before they saw it. The witty banter and the constant tongue-in-cheek nature fits perfectly with the likes of Iron-Man fighting with Captain America or the entire Guardians group always hating on each other.
sharei'm looking forward to ant man meeting the avengers. he spent much of ant man looking rather stunned at what had befallen him. imagine his reaction to the avengers mansion and stark's tech.
i can only hope that they won't have tony acting like an a-hole towards him.
Michael Douglas reminded me of that UFO researcher whatshisname.

What's a phase 2? What happened to phase 1?
Wasn't the movie The Fifth Element a Marvel prequel film?
shareNo. Although the film owes a lot of its style to the Moebius (Jean Giraud) comic The Airtight Garage (which was reprinted by Marvel), The Fifth Element was written by Luc Besson as an original screenplay, and Marvel Studios had nothing to do with it.
shareMarvel is doing a lot of viral stuff for this film (first the WHIH videos with Everhart and now this Cross video) that I don't remember them really doing before with other MCU films. It's an interesting marketing plan by them and one probably being done because it's such an unknown property.
shareLOL I just went and saw that. I had no idea WHIH released another interview until now. That was great.
Marvel needs to do more of this, especially since they already have WHIH which his well established in MCU now.
Marvel 2015: Agents of Shield, Agent Carter, Avengers 2, Daredevil, Ant-Man, Jessica Jones!
I have no doubt Marvel will do more in the future.

Ant-Man keeps the Marvel brand alive between major tent pole movies.
shareA tidy profit for Marvel AND another cool character added to the mix (Can't wait for Giant-Man). A nice combination. I think most of us can agree that Marvel made another good casting choice when they selected Paul Rudd.
shareIt makes me wonder, what was the better overall phase? One or two?

In my opinion the quality of the films in Phase 1 was more consistant but there are much better standouts in Phase 2 (GoG, Cap2).
shareOn a side note... I still love this actress so much...

Phase 3 can't get here fast enough for me.
shareIt's been a Great year for Marvel.
