greenhoody Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Every time someone mentions GOTG as the new watermark for greatness I feel like I'm in a parallel Universe. Surely I'm not the only person who thinks that BB is over-rated? There might be one or two more out there that agree with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEBHEAD Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Went to see "Ant-Man". Normally I really don't like origin movies, the beginnings are always a drag waiting for the action. This one is different as it allows us to peek into the heart and soul of Scott Lang who will eventually become Ant-Man. The movie is firmly tied to the the Marvel Universe and when it finally gets legs it is amazing. Lots of Easter eggs, and really cool effects, will be part of the collection and I give it 3 stars not a spectacular as Guardians, but on par with Marvel. Be sure to stay to the end of the credits for a surprise. PS I really liked Micheal Douglas as Hank Pym the original Ant-Man but it was time for him to pass it on to Scott.

Surely I'm not the only person who thinks that BB is over-rated? It was really good its first few seasons,than ok. Just like Game of Thrones. Unbelievable, than they go down. Hard to maintain greatness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Cataldo Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 We just got back. It was great! Action-packed in all the right spots, great character development, quite a few funny parts, and just over-all a cool summer flick. I wouldn't put it on a level with Iron Man I, Avengers or GOTG, but it's damn good. Go see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underground44 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Every time someone mentions GOTG as the new watermark for greatness I feel like I'm in a parallel Universe. I know a few non comic book people that aren't into "superhero movies" that loved GOTG. It was different and fresh and didn't take itself to seriously.

That was the interesting thing about Ant-Man - it felt like it took itself really seriously (which is funny to say given its comedic nature) but it did it very well.

There was a really great trailer for Batman/Superman too...I'm not sure where Wonder Woman fits in, in that movie, but she looked a lot better than I expected. Not exactly like WONDER WOMAN, but like a bad tough powerful super female;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a DC guy, not a Suicide Squad guy, prefer a Bruce Timm Harley Quinn, and absolutely HATE the Joker.... but I'm going to see that for the sheer spectacle.

skypinkblu Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Sharon can you elaborate on what she's missing from your perspective? You mean Wonder Woman? My collection starts with her first appearance and only goes through the Bronze age books...so I'm more familiar with the Amazon who wore red white and blue. I'm sure this one is ffine, but she looks like she's from the modern comics, so it just doesn't jib with what I envision her looking like. Her outfit does not look particularly patriotic and she's dark...not her skin tone, her aura. Maybe that goes with some of the newer books I've never read, but except for her mod period, the bright red white and blue were always in the forefront. I really enjoyed Linda Carter. I do love Afleck's look...I saw a zillion complaints about him, I think he looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally's Comics Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 It was cool. Good popcorn flick. I could be wrong but this was way better that the Batman v Superman trailer looks. Is DC just on Crack when comes to movies? The DC Universe is so packed, why do they just focus on just certain characters??? looks like something to go straight to video. Anyway, good for Marvel and the fans of Antman, he will be a cool addition to the Avengers lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prez Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 am I the only one who feels really anxious during the sub-atomic part? Same thing happened to me while watching Interstellar during the worm hole part.. that part of the movie got me at the edge of my seat. I was hoping they will show an infinity stone (reality gem) or an alternate universe. The movie was really good. Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas nailed their parts. The story was light and not convoluted - perfect way to introduce a character! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
