    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Ant-Man


    blackdoug — 10 years ago(July 10, 2015 09:26 PM)

    As has been the case going back to 2008, this Marvel movie is being held up as the next big test to see if Marvel can do it all with even smaller players.
    Ant-Man is such a small-scale picture that its easy to take for granted what a technical marvel it actually is. It features some rather dazzling special effects work in the service of its central super heroic gimmick, and said effects are presented in an offhanded way that suggests that no expense was spared in the pursuit of its sci-fi vision.
    The characters are all incredible(Pena almost steals the show), and there is a general warmth throughout. The heist structure proves to be an advantage the film turns into a visual wonderland of perspective and invention. The surrounding film is very good, with some strong comic beats and a generally enjoyable story. There are plenty of delightful beats big and small.
    The best part of the Phase 2 Marvel game plan was the diversification of genre, as Kevin Feige was vocal about wanting all of the films to exist in distinct sub-genres and thus exist not as superhero movies but as thrillers and fantasies and action comedies that just happened to contain a superhero in them. Well played Mr. Feige.
    A special thanks to good ole Scotty Mendelson!

        Cool review. Did you attend a screening or is it early in your country?

          A totally unbiased "review" from
          Avengers1234
          Due to the lack of moderators, trolls can ruin the IMDB message boards. Don't feed them.

              That's a professional review from Forbes, not mine. I mentioned the guy in the OP. That's the buzz that needs to be noted, not just fanboy buzz. It speaks volumes.

                The comparisons to Iron Man are spot on. It's as good as that movie.

                    Good thing you left out:
                    "Considering how the film really isnt about anything worthwhile"
                    "But for those who didnt come to Ant-Man for thematic depth or a change-up in the traditional big screen superhero mold, the film absolutely delivers in terms of entertainment value."
                    "This is easily Marvels most kid-friendly film"
                    and others

                    Not trying to hate but post the whole review if you want credibility.

                        lol I see Uber has made his way to the Ant-Man Boards
                        lol Of course this was expected, He's spent the last 4 years talking to himself and pretending to be other people with his 50+ Sock Accounts on The Avengers,IM3,Thor 2,Cap 2,GOTG and AOU Boards
                        But since he's officially made the switch to this board, I'll go ahead and post this again just in case there's some people on the Ant-Man board who aren't familiar with The Uber Troll
                        these are some of Uber's Sock accounts

                        in 2012 a poster named Blueberry had a list of 44 of Ubers sock accounts, lol and that was 3 years ago
                        50 honestly may not even be close, it could very well be over 100lol in just the last week Uber broke out 4 new sock accounts that I had not seen him use before
                        This man really does have over 50 Sock accounts that he pretends to be other people with.
                        He creates extremely positive threads about The MCU filmsHe then literally Bumps them every single day for YEARS with his 50 + Sock accountslol He actually talks to himself, and even agrees and disagrees with himself while trying to pretend to be other people.
                        This thread that were are in right nowWill literally still be here 2 years from right now.
                        He will literally bump this thread every single day, in 2 years from right now, this thread will have 200-400 Replies and 80% of them will all be from the same personThe Uber troll

                                Steve Jobs once said, "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower." Marvel leads, DC plays catch up and fails.

                                  Ant-Man is as forward thinking as that.

                                    I think beating all the phase 1 movies that didn't star Iron Man is a worthy accomplishment for a character called Ant-Man.

                                      I'm really starting to hate Universal. Bad enough that they are holding the distribution rights to Hulk hostage but sucking all the oxygen out of the room this year(especially when it doesn't make any sense as to why ) is annoying as heck.
                                      I accept your surrender.

                                        Why not post the whole forbes review then? You only mentioned a part of it, and only the parts that further your agenda. What a moron.

                                          I agree, Psylocke looks great! Um, why is Ronan the Accuser in an X-Men movie though?
