ANT-MAN Thread v.2 (Dragonlord's Review)

[JBSchroeds]

That trailer is worlds better than the first one. I'm still not going to go see the movie, but at least it doesn't look like as much of a bomb anymore.

 

[Adamant]

The end with the toy train was pretty damn funny.

 

[Loiosh]

I had very little interest in seeing this but the second trailer definitely sold me.

Someone clarify this for me, my cousin and I were discussing and neither of us are Ant Man knowledgeable. When he is normal size he has no powers? But when he's the size of an ant, hes got strength, but wouldnt he be slow as hell also?

I think it's that when he's small, he still have the power of a full size person. so, his punches still pack the same punch regardless of size. he can run just as fast as he could fully grown.

I don't know if the suit gives him extra strength though. I'll let someone else chime in

YES, good shit.

The newer preview has raised my confidence with this movie up from "looks okay" to "looks good".

From the director of Bring It On and The Break-Up.....

I'm not feeling it. The movie still looks tonally all over the place, the effects look terrible, and Paul Rudd looks completely out of his element. Combine that with the production nightmare it's gone through, and it doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

I'll give Marvel the benefit of the doubt, as they do seem to have a pretty high standard of quality, but this looks like a stinker.

To me, this looks legitly funny. It's not just a bunch of stupid unfunny pretentious one-liners (AoU).

Joss Whedon Says Edgar Wright's ANT-MAN Script the Best Marvel Ever Had

Joss Whedon, cult TV auteur and director of the Avengers movies, spoke to BuzzFeed about how he was a big fan of Edgar Wright’s script for the studio’s upcoming Ant-Man. “I thought the script was not only the best script that Marvel had ever had, but the most Marvel script I’d read,” Whedon said. “It reminded me of the books when I read them. Irreverent and funny and could make what was small large, and vice versa.”

He went on to say, “This is Marvel getting it exactly right.” This is why Whedon was confused when the studio announced in 2014 that Wright would no longer direct Ant-Man. (Peyton Reed is now directing).

“Whatever dissonance that came, whatever it was, I don’t understand why it was bigger than a marriage that seemed so right,” he told BuzzFeed of Wright’s exit. Whedon’s disappointment was embodied in a sad photo he tweeted of himself holding a Cornetto ice cream cone, a reference to Wright’s Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End trilogy.

It's a solid cast.

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

i have to say, i was initially excited about this movie, especially with the early test footage, unlike GoTG where i was skeptical about a story involving a cgi tree and raccoon translating well onto the big screen, but now that I've seen the promo art and trailers, i'm on the fence about whether this is going to be any good, again unlike GoTG where i was absolutely blown away the first time i saw rocket and groot together in the prison breakout scene.

 

[Adamant]

I think this still remains my most anticipated Marvel film since Avengers 1. I've been psyched ever since Rudd was announced as the lead.

ANT-MAN Suit Details Revealed; Three New Images from Empire Magazine

Ant-Man suit designers Sammy Sheldon and Ivo Coveney have been on board the film since Edgar Wright was attached to direct, and it's revealed in the latest issue of Empire Magazine that they were still working on the suit during shooting. Why exactly does Scott Lang need to wear that helmet though? "When you shrink, the molecules in the air are too big for your lungs," Sheldon explains. "He has to be fully contained or he'd die."

There's still no word on whether or not Pym Particles are going to make it into Ant-Man, but the magazine notes that "mysterious chemicals" are sent around Scott's body via tubing. "We had a long discussion about the two cables going into his helmet," Coveney reveals. "They're a massive weakness - Yellowjacket could just rip them off and he's dead. But, in the end, it just looks cooler with them on." On this subject, Sheldon adds: "The fact that he's shrinking is enough to get away with anything else, really!"

Rumor: SPIDER-MAN Easter Egg in ANT-MAN Movie Revealed

According to Latino Review, the Ant-Man movie will reportedly have the first Spider-Man Easter Egg in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Sony/Marvel Spider-Man sharing deal wasn't announced until early this year, but Ant-Man will start planting the seeds for the character to make his first appearance in Captain America: Civil War as a fully-formed hero without an origin story retread. In the MCU, Spider-Man exists by the time Ant-Man occurs.

The site has heard an unconfirmed rumor there is lots of talk of or references to Spider-Man and OsCorp in the current version of Ant-Man. Corey Stoll's villainous businessman Darren Cross is attempting to sell the Ant-Man/Yellowjacket weapons technology to other corporations and organizations. This scene would be an excellent opportunity to introduce OsCorp into MCU.

We won't actually see Spider-Man on screen in Ant-Man, current plans don't even have him in a post-credits scene, that's still saved for Captain America: Civil War. Ant-Man opens July 17, 2015.

Also it's really weak that superhero movies keep pitting heroes against people with the same power as themselves. I would inherently like this movie much more if the villain was Giant Man and we had to see Ant Man overcome such ridiculous odds, especially if Giant Man was a scientist and Ant Man was Joe Shmo criminal who could only hope to beat such a physically superior villain by out-thinking him.

I thought Ant Man was Giant Man? Isn't it the same suit just reverse settings?

 

[Adamant]

The one thing that gets me is, why is the villain usually more badass than the hero, yet always loses?

Case in point, look at Ant Man's suit and look at the Yellowjacket suit.

Nah. Same guy, different suits, different powers. They rarely gave him the ability to do both at the same time, iirc.

But he was also Yellowjacket, too, which is the villain here, so there's no reason it couldn't have been Ant Man vs Giant Man. Which I still think is much more compelling than Ant Man vs someone very similar to him.
