Paul Rudd to play Ant-Man - Page 3

*ranger_scout* · 07-18-2015, 08:33 PM

I thoroughly enjoyed this film from start to finish. Personally, I liked it better than Avengers: Age of Ultron. I found the humor spot-on and it was also a visual treat with plenty of action as well. The chemistry between Rudd and his criminal friends was just perfect. My favorite moments include

Note: I find it a bit of a coincide that this movie was released on Disneyland's 60th Anniversary and Luis whistled "It's a Small World".

I saw it yesterday, I think it is a better movie then the previews make it out to be. I also really enjoyed the final battle.

Awesome movie, a vast improvement over Avengers 2 and the best Marvel film of the year no doubt.

Great script, fine perfomances and all that.

Has or hasn't? I noticed. I loved the Jamie Foxx Show.

Wasn't crazy about the movie. I thought it was pretty boring. It was funny at times. I liked Luis. It's not something I'd care to watch again.

I have zero interest in this movie, but can someone tell me how involved this seems to be with the Marvel Universe? I hate the Thor movies but I forced myself to watch them so I could stay informed when watching Avengers. Thanks!

It's a bit more detatched compared to the others, the ties are more cameos and references, though one element that may come back in later films is

Thanks, I think I'm just going to skip it all together...the Marvel Universe is getting less interesting anyway.

I have some slight interest in Civil War (though it made me loath most of the mainstream comics with choice exceptions and outright ruined Spider-Man), but I'm in agreement. I've been off the bandwagon for a while now and am dismayed at how each film is easy money and by-the-numbers when they're not really that spectacular or as out-of-the-box as they ought to be. I don't have any interest in the new Spider-Man movie either (they're making him too young)

Who thinks Marvel is on a roll? they know how to please Marvel fans and keep true to their comic roots.

If you consider sh*tting out mediocre movies for an easy profit being on a roll. Then yes, yes they are.

I could see Marvel doing that...he's the voice in their animated series.

You 2 are pathetic nolanite DC lovers who think dark and gritty is good. It's not.

Marvel is far better than DC in movies and DC is good in animation with live-action exceptions being

And i'm sure you 2 think Fox is for adults and Marvel Studios is for kids.

Who ever said I loved The Dark Knight series?
I liked the The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight rises but that doesn't mean I think every comic book movie should be dark and gritty. I just think what Marvel is sh*tting out is generic as f*ck.
The only upcoming comic book movie I'm excited about is Deadpool, that's it.
Comic book films are generic as f*ck and they've been milked for far too long now. Please go on though, it's really funny to see you sperge out every time someone doesn't like what you like.

I think the Adam West movie is better than most Marvel movies.

And Nolanites are still a thing? Get out of 2013 already

I'm a fan of both companies you absolute zero. I just don't happen to lower my standards like you do. I l like films that are well-written, have nuance, dimension, and some weight. Marvel movies have none of that with choice exceptions.

With man-child reactions like yours, it's pretty easy to think that

Stay in the back of the special bus greaseball.

And what about X-Men movies?

*chrisdude* · 07-21-2015, 05:02 PM

X-Men over everything.

Most of the Marvel Studios movies are pretty generic. Darned near all of them are cookie-cutter as can be. Doesn't mean you can't love them. But it's harder to win people over when they don't have as much as an attachment to the character, like in Ant-Man's case.

True, but you can sort of understand it when people frustrated with their mediocrity constantly get told "Marvel can do no wrong, they are killing it, number one company ever, DC sucks, rofl". It's obnoxious and nauseating. Objectively, DC are so much better in many respects, and Marvel are probably in their worst shape creatively in years in comics and animation, and their creative minds don't give a f*ck because they'd rather insult their customers and fans online than do anything about it.

The biggest problems for me with DC movies and Marvel movies can be summed up in one sentence each.

DC's movies and shows are completely unconnected, which requires multiple unnecessary reinventions at the cost of building on some of their best product. (Examples, Ezra Miller Flash versus Grant Gustin Flash, Christopher Nolan Batman versus Zach Synder Batman)

Marvel's movies and shows are completely connected, sacrificing individual story-telling and creative stakes to always build to the next movie, only to skip on actual stakes/consequences again and kick the can down the road to the next big crossover.
