It's extremely well directed and acted and has the soul to match its heart. The humor works so well but never detracts from the overall story or from taking each character seriously. That balancing act is the best we've seen in a long long time.

9/10
I love this movie. Somehow it didn't feel epic enough to warrant a 10/10 perfect rating even though I really can't think of one thing I'd change to make it better. Ant-Man is fun first and foremost. It has true heart and soul and the best humor possible without it being too much. I enjoyed the heist angle and the many surprises that kept popping up throughout its running time. Everything felt more intimate and it was the perfect way to follow Age of Ultron for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Everything doesn't have to be large, grim or of a world-changing flavor. This may signal the perfect way to move forward for their phase three. Deliver large and then small as they rotate between Avenger and solo films. Whatever the case, I hope to see more of Scott Lang as Ant-Man and his entire supporting cast. Everyone was absolutely wonderful in their roles. -

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.

lol On the surface this looks normal, Just 2 people giving their opinions on Ant-Man
But In reality this is anything but normal
You see Millthrill and avengers1234 are actually the same person .The Uber Troll!
yes you read that correctly, They are the same person
The Uber Troll got on his avengers1234 sock account and created this Thread
Then Got on a different Sock Account and Pretended to be a different person with a different opinion.
lol its also worth noting that at the time Uber made this troll thread with his avengers1234 Sock Account ..He Had not seen the movie yet!
lol He created this and about a dozen other extremely positive troll threads with out even seeing the movie

You've said this many times on the AoU boards but can you actually PROVE they are the same person though? Yeah they are both uber-fans I give you that lol, but it doesnt mean they are the same person. And even looking up their post history besides Marvel boards they seem to have different interest in other things. Now it could mean they are doing that to throw people off but who has that kind of time lol.
I just think its unfair of accussing someone of being a sock without any real proof, thats all.

Paul Rudd simply embodied Scott Lang. Lovable and extremely smart but a loser so far in life.
Michael Douglas was terrific as Hank (and, incidentally, the CGI de-aging they did on him in the opening scene was amazing).
Evangeline Lilly's Hope was an unexpected strong point of the story. There's been a ton of controversy around the way Janet was going to be handled (or not) in this adaptation which also gets unexpectedly addressed but Hope is actually a really well-realized character. Indeed, of all the MCU female leads, I'd say she has easily the most backstory and the character arc most separate from the male lead (until Peggy got her own show, but that's not in the movies); her real story is with her dad and the legacy of her mother. I know some people have called it a token romance, but the hookup between her and Scott at the end is underplayed to the point where it comes across very casually and not like a big deal (romance plots don't need to be at the center of every story).
Michael Pena's unexpectedly-sophisticated and enthusiastic thief was another highlight. -

lol and Uber pretends to be YET ANOTHER Person
sacflyzone
Unfortunately for him though, He's awful at disguising his trolling
So Uber Literally said that exact same thing in the exact same way with his sacflyzone Sock Account..
also what a coincidence But sacflyzone was made exactly 10 years agolol the exact same time as the rest of Ubers sock accounts

Ant-Man is thematically strong and has true depth to every character we see on screen, even the supporting cast. It uses its small size to its advantage and crafts a superb adventure with spellbinding special effects and performances.
That's right, spellbinding. -

This is a damned if you do; damned if you don't scenario on a couple of levels. "IF" the directors were given free reign, the critics (and many fans) would be complaining about how MCU doesn't hold together; how this, that, and the other thing didn't make sense. "In Thor, blah, blah, blah, but in TWS, blah, blah, blah..it doesn't make any sense and there's no continuity."
As it is, we get complaints about how tightly Marvel controls everything and a movie can't "breathe" or whatever.
Hey, pick your poison. If somebody needs to pick through stuff and find something to complain about, fine. I'd rather just go to a movie, sit back and enjoy it (given that it's good) and let the critics do their job. And they did. We all loved this film. -

Like two beautiful creatures trapped in a prison of another's design, like a madman lost in a supermarket. One freed, the other dies in a glass tomb which used to contain farts. Perhaps it is fitting, for what was the butterfly other than a symbol of the boys innocence that perished days before. Killed by the very soul he tried to save.
