ANT-MAN

 Official poster shows Ant-Man in his suit, and introduces a montage of him starts to shrink with his size-reduction ability, with a montage of helicopters, a police officer holds his gun, two men in suit and tie and sunglasses and the film's villain Darren Cross is walking with them smiling, Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, and Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne with the film's title, credits, and release date below them, and the cast names above.

  • First time seeing it
  • Liked it a lot
  • The way this movie plays with size and scale is incredibly creative. This is another example of CGI done well. It uses the technology inventively to show us things we haven't seen before
  • Scott's first shrinking experience was super cool, the briefcase fight was great, and the climax taking place on a child's train set was a stroke of genius. My favourite appearance by Thomas the Tank Engine, by far
  • I LOVE YOU, PAUL RUDD. I am not shy about my man crush on Paul Rudd. I want to marry him and become a Hollywood power couple. I want to kiss him on the mouth. I would watch him watch paint dry. I enjoyed Paul Rudd in this movie, is what I'm trying to say
  • Michael Douglas is also having a lot of fun. When I think Michael Douglas, I mostly think serious Michael Douglas. The Game, Fatal Attraction, Traffic. But he fit right in to the Marvel style
  • Michael Peña is a delight
  • Oh good, another bald, evil, rival businessman. Jeff Bridges couldn't make an interesting villain out of it, and neither can this guy
  • Judy Greer is a great actress. I've seen her in lots of things at this point, and she's versatile and talented. I will never see her without imagining her saying, "Say goodbye to these!"
  • Let's talk heist movies. I like the idea of a Marvel heist movie. It's a nice variation on the way to deliver action. In a heist movie, the action isn't just about two dudes punching each other. It's about a plan coming together and being executed. In the best heist movies, you get to admire the planning and plotting pulled off by the protagonists, as we can see in movies like Ocean's Eleven, The Sting, and so on. The issue I had with this movie's main heist scene was how dependent it was on the magical ants. Those ants could basically do anything the heroes needed, and there was barely any human ingenuity involved. I know it's canon that Ant-Man can control ants or talk to ants or whatever, but the ant-heavy scenes had my interest flagging. I preferred the earlier mini-heist when it was just Scott stealing the suit, making a phony fingerprint, and freezing the safe. I still really enjoyed the movie as a whole, but I liked some parts better than others
