Inviso 02/11/21 9:02:34 AM #54:	Raka Putra "Dicks out for ANThony. Another fun movie, I love Ant-Man's powers and the shenanigans they provide. Scott Lang and his crew are top notch. And it being a heist movie of sorts really gives it a unique flavor compared to other movies in the canon. Lang's relationship with Cassie is full of heart and that Luis' summation sequence is still one of the funniest moments in the canon." StifledSilence Its like Oceans Eleven with super powers! I liked Oceans Eleven and I like super powers, so yeah. Big win. For all the movies Ive seen about shrinking and/or increasing things to kaiju height, I felt Ant-Man has done it the best so far. VengefulKaelee Look, one of the things that bores me most about these movies on the whole is that all their climaxes are the same. The fact that Ant-Man's climax is so different from the rest, just by virtue of having a sense of humor and being creative with its setting and concepts, is a fact I find extremely refreshing. The movie has some problems, sure the entire second act could be essentially excised from the movie and you'd be missing almost nothing but one thing is for certain: Thomas the Tank Engine has never been put to better use in a feature film. Anagram Is anyones favorite superhero Antman? Im not judging you if it is, I just want to know why. Mr Crispy Ant Man is pretty average overall, but framing more as a heist movie about using shrinking powers to break into a heavily guarded tech facility gives it a bit more personality than an origin movie would ordinarily have. Shrinking can be a pretty fun concept, making you take another look at what's around you and see it from another point of view. A tiny universe in and of itself, where tiny people could have these epic battles without the rest of the world noticing. Scenes like the one where the toy train was about to crash, and the perspective switched back to the actual scale to show this tiny little impact were amusing and charming. Yellowjacket isn't amazing but puts up a competent enough fight (which is more than you could say about many MCU villains). TomNook I like Paul Rudd usually, so no surprise that I like Ant-Man. Fun sci-fi plot. I've always found shrinking/growing to be a fun concept when films use it, and with the cast of charming characters, it works for me. GavsEvans123 Ant Mans abilities allow for some very creative scenes, as regular settings such as a bathroom, the inside of a briefcase or a childs train set become unique and dangerous settings when he is shrunk down, offering a new perspective which sets it apart from the other Marvel films. He also has discs that are used to make things grow, and a lot of fun is had with these as well. Several plot elements are reminiscent of Iron Man, such as the hero having a new ability granting suit, learning to use their powers, the villain being a corrupt corporate executive, and the climax involving the villain getting his own upgraded suit and duking it out with the heros prototype suit. Surprisingly, it doesnt feel as repetitive as it sounds, despite the MCU loving the Upgrade VS Prototype Fight trope (Iron Man VS Iron Monger, Hulk VS Abomination, Captain America VS Red Skull, Vision VS Ultron, Black Panther VS Killmonger in his own suit) Alongside the creativity, the film is also very funny. There are lots of laughs to be had from side characters like Scotts friends, plenty of witty lines in the script (The Titanic conversation is the hardest Ive laughed at anything in this viewing so far) and some comedy size shifting towards the end. Theres even a bit of emotion involved, thanks to Scotts bond with an ant he names Anthony and his relationship with his adorable little daughter, desperately wanting to put his time in prison behind him and be a good father to his daughter. Because of this, theres a feelgood factor attached to the film which will leave you with a big smile on your face afterwards. Ant Man is on a smaller scale than the previous films, which is no bad thing. It feels like a back-to-basics breather before everything kicks off again in Civil War, and after Age of Ultron thats just what was needed. One thing that just occurred to me watching this time, why wasnt Falcon in Sokovia in Age of Ultron? Another pair of wings would have come in real useful for rescuing civilians. I mistakenly thought that this film took place during Age of Ultron, and Falcon drew the short straw to stay behind and hold the fort while everyone else went to Sokovia, but no, it takes place after that film. --- Touch fuzzy.
