Ant-Man and the Wasp - The MOVIE

BLUEVOODU · July 22, 2018, 01:03:01 PM

Who has seen this? And what are your thoughts??

I will provide no spoilers at this time ... or even hidden spoilers. I know @Grindspine has seen it ... and I think @SpartanEvolved ... probably @mastermario too...
MAYBE @CreepinDeth and @targetrasp ... or @HylianSeven ?

Comments? Thoughts? Post it up!

Great movie. It is impossible to talk about the ending without invoking spoilers and the other Marvel Cinematic Universe movies though.

targetrasp · July 23, 2018, 06:35:29 PM

I'm still on my kick of buying some preordered special collectors edition instead of going to the theater, so I'm going to be a few Marvel movies behind you guys.

Ant Man was surprisingly good so i'm hopeful for the second.

mastermario · July 26, 2018, 12:49:15 AM

Agreed, I thought it was really good. Cool ending, good story, good action, good acting. It got a few bad reviews but I don't really think they were justified.

I really enjoyed it. I loved the first Antman as well to my surprise. The after credits scene though...

Turned out great and I thought it was better than the first. Can't wait for the next Avengers movie.

BLUEVOODU · August 05, 2018, 10:35:06 PM

@Jack LOL... it's so frustrating too.

I know... I agree with everyone else. I was PLEASANTLY surprised at this movie. They did such a great job. I have to say... there have been A LOT of great movies this year... and more I ended up opting to just rent later on to save money. There definitely were others I wanted to see.

BLUEVOODU · August 05, 2018, 10:36:15 PM

@Grindspine SOO... About that ending

@CreepinDeth I can't wait for the next avengers movie as well. IS that next year? OR do we have to wait longer? *Starting to get the shakes*

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie but can understand why some may have given it bad reviews. For instance, the wasp as well as the villain were a little over-acted and Michelle Pfeiffer's role was mildly cheesy. However, it was a treat to see Pfeiffer back on the big screen. Like Star Wars Episode I I believe Antman and the Wasp were produced to be digestible to a younger / broader audience. Paul Rudd's cheeky comedy style and Michael Pena's performance as a spastic nerve bag were successful in reaching that broad audience. Overall, I give Antman and the Wasp a thumbs up

Got to wait until 2019. Marvel are monsters.

Lol @CreepinDeth monsters they are!

@NoGame welcome to the forums - feel free to post up in any topic. We are glad to have you

So was I the only person here that was incredibly bored with it and thought it was a giant clusterfrick? XD It's like in my bottom 5 marvel movies.

@Kinikko LOL... based on all the previous responses... I have to say Yes you are

It was definitely different... but I enjoyed the movie. If I saw It a second time around... I may have a different story. MAY have.

I mean I didn't even laugh at any of their attempts at jokes, lol. If I had been by myself I probably would have walked out 1/3 of the way through.

BLUEVOODU · August 23, 2018, 09:51:53 PM

@Kinikko that sounds like an awful and a crappy experience. Did anyone else that was with you say it was that awful too?

No they were cracking up dying the whole way though, I just kept looking at them like O.o

Husband just thought it was okay, not too great but not bad.

mastermario · August 26, 2018, 12:25:11 AM

I guess I just really like Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly. They both have a dry, sarcastic sense of humor and I can see how that could annoy people.

BLUEVOODU · August 27, 2018, 08:04:11 PM

Yeah. Maybe that's the difference... humor styles people enjoy.

I'd like to see it again. Makes me want to go back and watch the 1st one again too lol.

targetrasp · February 16, 2019, 12:45:01 AM

Ant-Man and the Wasp is on Netflix now so I've finally watched it.

I must say, I enjoy these movies, just not enough to pay for them.

I started reading comics in the early 90s making the majority of my exposure what is now considered the copper age of comics. Ant-man just wasn't really featured then and as such not someone I really attached to.

The cast are awesome - Kate from Lost, Dutch from Killjoys, Josh from Clueless, the girl I get confused with the Hooters girl from Big Daddy, not to mention Gordon Gekko and Vicki Vale {{Correction - Kim Basinger was Vicki Vale, Michelle Pfeiffer was Catwoman before Halle}}... the story could be meh (which it kinda was) and I'd still enjoy. It also helps that Ant-man is such a 3rd string super hero I go in with no expectations, as such its hard to be disappointed.

BLUEVOODU · February 17, 2019, 04:33:18 PM

I really want to see this title again. Ant-Man and the Wasp was awesome.. she was also the She Elf in the Hobbit series.

DAt Ending though... as @Grindspine and others mentioned. That would suck to have happen... worst timing ever lol.

targetrasp · February 17, 2019, 05:05:04 PM

that reminds me, it's about time to rewatch all the LOTR and Hobbit movies

Grindspine · February 17, 2019, 06:04:17 PM

One does not simply derail the thread into LOTR.

As said above, Ant Man & the Wasp is still on Netflix. It is a good watch!

BLUEVOODU · February 17, 2019, 06:37:19 PM

Woot... @Grindspine just got the 100 Mega Shock Title lol.... well played reference AND your 100th post.

I wish this was on Prime right now... They rarely have Marvel anything... which is odd. They have a lot of binge-watchable shows like Psych and 24 always available. That's good... as we binge watched both while studying.

targetrasp · February 17, 2019, 08:13:28 PM

haha

BLUEVOODU · February 18, 2019, 08:02:52 AM

Hm... Anakin versus Sauron ... that might be a decent match up.
