Ant-man and The Wasp

[Patrick Bateman 3910]

Welp, if you've seen Infinity Wars you know both of these characters along with Hank Pym are MIA.  What the hell gives?  Good cast with Rudd, Lily, Douglas and Pena all returning.  Also adding Michelle "White Gold" Pfeiffer, Fishbourne, and Goggins.  

New Poster:

New trailer out tomorrow some time..... teaser for it:

I'm so in.

[llanoflash 151]

i wonder if Evangeline Lily likes to do it.

[kingkoopa6 8345]

Woooooooooowwwww post ending scene!

[HiggyBaby 2529]

^ yep that was great. As was the entire movie.

[HornsOverIthaca 2333]

Very enjoyable.  Michael Pena and Walton Goggins were hilarious.

Wait, Boyd Crowder is in this? That just took it to 11.

[Buzzrock 14902]

Just saw it, good fun. Just about par with the first. I really like the way they can show actors as their younger selves.

Spoiler:


When Furious Styles walked in I was stoked.

[Huckleberry 32848]

Just saw it. Decent movie, not great. Did not get my money's worth (family of five) but we're way ahead on Marvel movies so not going to start complaining yet.

[AUS-97HORN 11756]

saw it,  give a 6.5 out of 10. I thought they spent way too much time re-establishing the back story, which I didnt really think was needed.  Felt that slowed down the movie.  I was laughing at a lot of the scenes, especially all the ones with Michel Pena.   so it wasnt great, but it wasnt terrible either

 

but having the 3 get dusted in the middle of the experiment.... yeah thats wowzers

[Michael Knight 12976]

Solid, enjoyable

[numbereleven 9]

I really enjoyed it. After Infinity War, it was a fun, light summer movie. Yeah, except for that one thing.

So that was the 20th MCU movie. Amazing.

[Patrick Bateman 3910]

Solid.  Enjoyable.  Light.  Safe.  It was fine.... I'd suggest a matinee...

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

The story itself wasn't great, but it was still a fun and hilarious movie.

Very true. Definitely a disconnect your brain movie with good performances all around.

EL seemed to have aged between films. Or maybe they just gave her bad hair.

Wazzzuuup!

[Huckleberry 32848]

I actually thought one of the weaknesses of the movie was the nonstop barrage of comedic relief moments. They know that those moments have been perhaps the biggest reason for the MCU's success so I guess they thought "let's just throw one in every 30 seconds because more is always better!"

[Tailgate 3021]

First Marvel movie I’ve ever fallen asleep on. Nodded off for about ten minutes. Did go see the 8pm show which is a little late for this old timer...but still.

3 out of 5 stars.

[atomheartbevo 89626]

Kinda made me wish Wasp had made an appearance in Civil War like originally planned: http://comicbook.com/marvel/2018/07/01/ant-man-and-the-wasp-captain-america-civil-war-hope-van-dyne/

instead we just got Ant-Man

Thought most of the jokes fell flat. My 11 year old thought it was hysterical. I guess I wasn’t the target demographic.

[PilotsError 2286]

It was entertaining.  The first post credit scene was pretty fucking awesome.

[BERT 4358]

I enjoyed it. Think i would've enjoyed it more if i didn't keep waiting for "something" to happen all movie. Will be cool to see how this one ties into Avengers 4. 

 

So now we have to wait until March for another MCU movie?

[mdmost 42999]

My wife kept screwing around and wouldn’t finish all the movies so she could see Infinity War. She was asking tons of questions after the credits scene. Luckily IW is out on digital formats at the end of the month. 

[satyanash 14473]

Decent movie, nothing special

 

I wonder if Wasp mentioning time vortices in the quantum zone could tie in to the Time Stone / going back in time for IW 2?

[CooterBrown 18003]

My biggest issue with the movie is that it gave itself away in the first 5 minutes. Once you saw a young Michelle Pfieffer, it was obvious they were going to save her since there's no point in hiring her unless you need an old lady later on.  It also didn't make much sense that she aged with the explanation that time doesn't exist in the quantum zone. She should've been the same age when rescued 30 years later.

 

[BERT 4358]

Did she say time doesn’t exist? Thought she just said that things were different down there? 

[Buzzrock 14902]

That’s a good point about MP, I thought the same thing (big actress, we’ll see her again). It was noticeable that they just ignored how she survived down there for 30 years. I mean, where did she shit?

Did you want the movie to last another hour explaining that crap?

[atomheartbevo 89626]

I have numerous thoughts/daydreams about how Michelle Pfeiffer shits. I don’t need it explained in a movie.

[ballrific 215]

It was meh but not terrible

Spoiler

All this talk about the quantum realm and it didn't seem like there was much there other than when Hank went in for a few minutes and at the end.  Just expected more from the movie and it seemed sort of lazy.  A few tweaks and could have been much better.  The jokes/comedy didn't seem to hit as well as in the first one.  Going in no way would I have expected this, but I'd say a bottom 3 or 4 Marvel flick as of now.  I probably need to see it again but kind of a downer considering it's 10+ months till Captain Marvel.

Would have been nice to see some sort of sequence explaining how she managed to live so long without food or water.  Seems kind of important.

[mdmost 42999]

She evolved, you dillholes.

I guess they expect us to use our imagination after hearing her say something like "down in the quantum realm things/time works different". My imagination is usually only good for porn.

True.  Might have slown it down too much.

And wouldn't have been as kid freindly.

[Bookman 4638]

I enjoyed it. It helps that I'm in love with Evangeline Lilly.

[TKthunder2 4985]

Very good popcorn flick.  Nice that Marvel has cultivated such a range of talents (both actors and directors) and can give them their own platform while still tieing into the main story.  The first one (which I have in my Marvel top 5) was obviously better but honestly other than Guardians 2 (which is in my bottom 5) and the underwhelming Dr Strange movie I’ve really enjoyed phase three.

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

Meh on the movie but holy fuck the trailers I had to endure. First and worst, Crazy Rich Asians. Wow. Shallow, formulaic trash with some of the worst one liners I’ve ever heard.

Followed by The Predator which on the surface looks completely soulless. Ending looks pretty obvious.

Followed by some Kevin Hart movie about getting a diploma. One scene involves two characters making Psh noises at each other for 45 minutes.

It did not set the tone well for the feature presentation.

[TrashMaster G 17543]

Evangeline Lilly - I just know she's a dirty girl.  And I like it.

[dark54555 72]

Probably the best credits scenes of any Marvel movie to date.  Overall, somewhere in the middle of the pack.  There are better and worse MCU films overall.

Wait....they can cover Michelle Pfeiffer's bathroom activities in a movie?  Is there like, umm, a Kickstarter campaign for such a production?  Asking for a friend.

[HornsOverIthaca 2333]

It would be indiegogo as Kickstarter requires a working prototype.

[South Austin 52448]

I hope that in the Janet Van Dyne quantum realm spinoff movie everyone is talking about we also get to see what she did for sexual activity all those years.

Saw it last night with the kids. Agree that it wasn't as good as the first one, which is to say the first one was really damn good. I'd probably give it a 7 out of 10.

Potato, potahto, Michelle nekkid, profit.

I thought it was great.  Perfect superhero movie for kids.

The first one put me to sleep. I like Rudd and I wish he could go back to making real movies. I've liked most of his stuff quite a bit.
