Tissan Young Man that reference was killer, but for me I have to see him on screen to go crazy, that first time will be a crazy moment in the MCU of course.
jones81381 Jeremy has talked about how Awesometacular movies have a moment where you're sitting in the theater and you just realize "Holy shit, this movie is AMAZING," and Ant Man probably just never had that, if I had to guess. Though he clearly still enjoyed it.
J.J. L. I haven't seen it yet, and I don't mind exposition, but seeing as the first 15 minutes the only negative thing Jeremy really had to say about it, I'm guessing that's why it didn't get Awesometacular.
I already saw it 2 days ago. Most people want to see a Marvel movie for the action. this one doesn't have heavy action on its first 15/30 minuites so that's a heads-up for those people who haven't seen it yet.
Marvel took Iron Man, a relatively unknown hero and turned him into one of the best known superheroes, they made a risk by throwing many heroes into one movie and actually pulled that off without it feeling forced, they took a comic book that no one read and turned it into one of the most popular movies of the year. And now they managed to make a good Ant-man movie even though no one believed in it. It's official, Marvel is pretty much legally printing money at this point.
Evelina999 Iron Man was an a-list known character since the late 70's. He was not on par with such characters like Spider-Man or X-Men in terms of popularity, but he had huge following and fanbase. Iron Man wouldn't got made if he was " relatively unknown". Relatively unknown characters don't have their own comic book series that goes for almost four decades. Marvel only uncovered what already have been established.
SepticGod He had that popularity among people who read comic books, that's a small portion of Americans. In the rest of the world very few people knew who he was.
Evelina999 Also the fact that Iron Man, in his long while in comics, was protrayed as an alchoholic and damaged man, depressed and sad, etc. It was great to see Downey liven it up.
ScortchAlcatraz that was the best part of the Iron Man comics. The fact that he was so grounded in terms of personality and why he's so reletable. And that's why he became my number one comic book character in a mainstream comics since I was a kid. If Tony Stark was written from the beginning like in the movies, snarky, cocky, narcissistic, I wouldn't even care to pick up any comics with him. Sorry to break it for ya', but comic book Stark is a better written and fleshed out character than his movie iteration.
TheNerdFormer Because you know I'm right. And please, calm down the rhetoric. I didn't get to 800,000 subscribers with a "piece of shit" channel. Seriously dude, lighten up.
This is honestly one of my Top 5 favorite Marvel movies. I will never look at ants the same anymore. I want to marry Hope (Evangeline Lilly) and the fight scene with ____i won't spoil it____was amazing!
Josh Jelks they tied in to the MCU so fucking well, those last two scenes oh man, I really hope we can get Ant-Man and Wasp in the new Avengers formation that would be *sick*
Josh Jelks Being in a top 5 out of 12 doesn't say much really, but I know what you mean. I am really looking forward to seeing it when I get back from my trip!
kilroyjenkins1 are you saying this because of how antman reacted to everything? because i also thought he had really good true feelings average people would also have with the things that happened.
babiJess0705 no i mean the entire premise of the movie is alot more realistic compared to things like Age of Ultron where the thunder god fights along side a giant green monster and the hulk
I fucking loved Ant Man. All my friends said it sucked and most of the reviews online were terrible, but to me it was the same feel as Guardians. There were some great moments and it was really well executed.
juandeldiablo696 of course! wouldn't you? how could you resist? why would you resist? ha ha! It's obvious, funny and fun at the same time... how often does that happen?
The Angry Tree I love watching movie reviews, game review( most of them suck), anime reviews but I wouldn't call it a obsession I would call it an interest on how people perceive the game, anime, movie.
This was a hugely enjoyable movie. Marvel are on a roll and at this point can hardly go wrong, providing Sony aren't involved (After they fucked up Spiderman with TASM2). As for Fox, sorry but so far Fantastic 4 has not won me over.
Um, sir. The Amazing Spiderman 2 was the best Spiderman movie to come out so far! You must really not like the other movies then. Also sucks for you! Fantastic Four's gonna be fucking amazing! Ant-Man was fucking amazing too though.
Ant-man was like the Aquaman of Marvel. Everyone loves riding the ban wagon claiming he is lame without reading a single comics. Or even if they know he is respectable, they still love humor at his expense. Not anymore.
I just got out of the theater and I really liked it! Paul Rudd did a great job as the protagonist. I liked the funny, light-hearted nature of this film.
I've never been so surprisingly impressed before. Honestly, I had no idea what to expect, but opening credits with mariachi music was certainly not expected. The movie did such a good job being small (No Pun Intended) after Age of Ultron. The plot was so solid and actually creative. Scott Lang is probably the most relatable character so far which was so nice. I loved all the character building. Hank Pym and Hope Pym even had depth despite not being the main characters. Also, they admitted that The Avengers exist and that they could just call them!!! That was so satisfying since most solo movies suffer from that. I cannot express how pleasing it was.
Did Antman, being a guy and using his powers, wandered around trying to get some quality Up-Skirt shots? No? Then you know the character is written wrong.
Yuri PRIME Eric O'Grady who was the 3rd Ant-man was getting up skirt shots and even watch Ms Marvel take a shower lol. toshironoronin.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/antman_msmarvel.jpg
joshua bedwell pun pən/Submit noun 1. a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings. "the pigs were a squeal (if you'll forgive the pun)" synonyms: play on words, wordplay, double entendre, innuendo, witticism, quip, bon mot ""you can make your own antifreeze by stealing her blanket" is a pun guaranteed to get some groans" verb 1. make a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word. "his first puzzle punned on composers, with answers like “Handel with care” and “Haydn go seek”"
Anyone noticed when Scott Lang first puts on the Ant Man suit and had no idea what the suit was, there 2 buttons. One on his left hand and the other one on his right hand...When he clicked the left button nothing happened but when he clicked the right, he shrinks....Could it be that the left button is the switch for Giant Man? What if that Giant Man button was left open for another movie like Civil War?
Afterall Hank Pym wanted Scott to steal the suit for pulling off a heist and not turn into Giant Man and wreck the city. So he knew Scott was coming to steal the suit and locked the Giant Man ability
Ichigo Kurosaki Its kind of confusing though but I think the right button is to change him small and back to normal again. Similarly I think that the right button is to change him into Giant Man and back to normal again
The Spider-Man reference, the James Cameron Titanic joke, and the INCREDIBLE acting during Micheal Peña's hilarious story telling skills alone made this movie awesome.

Gabriel Gonzalez Actually, I'm on neither side. I'm on the side of good cinema and frankly, a good portion of the MCU isn't good cinema, but $100 million dollar setups for the next film. But hell, at least they have a system going for them. Everyone else non-Dark Knight trilogy is falling all over themselves trying to find success in ways other than making good films first and foremost. And, much to our misfortune, these trends of popular things making mediocre works of art are bringing the medium down. Just to be clear, I do think the first Iron Man, Gotg, Ant-Man, and the two Captain America films are entertainment with a decent amount of brains behind them. When we have a popular, mainstream culture that would rather applaud a trailer than a Birdman, a Whiplash, a Grand Budapest Hotel (just to name a few), we've got some major obstacles to overcome. The only organic way to overcome bad trends is to wait it out until we get tired of it, which is already happening. Age of Ultron, as just one example, only came out a little less than three months ago, and I'm amazed at how little people are talking about it now.
BlueFox94 I loved Age of Ultron , I'm not gettin tired of the marvel movies just like jeremy , Im 20 years old , and Im going to love the Marvel movies for years to come , and when infinity wars comes out , im going to be there with my Marvel t-shirt and a big smile on my face , I don't think a movie is mediocre just because it has humor on it ,I don't pay attention to this elite people ,hating on the popular and then crying alone in the bed, DC is taking their movies too serious , but instead of making a the Killing joke , Dark knight returns or another good story into a movie , they try to copy Marvel but without the humor , they are not trying to break the boundaries and make a piece of art , that argument is bullshit and you know it ,they only want to make money , I mean look at green lantern.Nolan its not going to save them anymore and his movies were never part of the DCU.The DCU started with Man of steel and I don't even want to talk about that movie , aaghhh!
Gabriel Gonzalez I'm 20 years old as well and I get that studios want to make money. If you want to make a business with no intention of making money, your priorities are misguided. That's Business 101, right there and I understand. But, as CinemaSins Jeremy once said, "you can be a business without being a whore." And in the brothel that is Hollywood, Marvel is one of the main proprietors. One thing I keep telling comic book fans who seem so blind to the apparent faults that these films can and do have is this: the medium of the comic book is unique in its beauty and in its potential faults (one being the consistent pandering to entertainment as opposed to making timeless singular stories - the presence of multiple, perhaps even contradictory and reimagined, storylines for characters being the evidence of that). But once you make the move to Cinema, your rules must change. You're not here to fortify a universe, but to make a gripping, stand-alone work of art. You're combining the best of all other past arts, no longer just one. Worry about building your universe after making great films. That's what the first Iron Man, Gotg, Ant-Man, and to an extent the two Captain America films have succeeded at doing. The lack of originality and risk in Hollywood has reached their biggest incarnation in the MCU and it's their influence on how the rest of the industry makes new stuff that's the most damaging. I ain't elite at all. You don't have to be elite to recognize when a media trend is so willing to eschew quality and logic in near-complete favor of pandering to audiences. I wouldn't say that if over half of the MCU films were great films, but most aren't. There has to be a balance between quality and audience desire (the latter being more unpredictable) and this current imbalance is going to be the bane of the industry for the next decade or so to come.
I've put off watching Antman because it sounded rubbish...but after finally watching it the other day,I wished I'd watched it sooner!!.. absolutely loved it!.
+Mallika Banerjee Marry me...? 💍 PS: This is not some stalker antic - just someone who appreciates a woman who doesn't bullshit with the truth. Age of Ultron 👉🏽 💩
«JustEnder» Defo not a stalker! You should keep asking and track her down.... that's what all great guys do when a woman says Ant-Man is better than Ultron! completely sane.
+Cor Tadew I guess the problem with marvel movies is even when they are somehow bad (like the iron man sequels) you like them in a way because you see what they tried to do.
The whole concept of "superhero fatigue" is just that: a concept. Everybody's saying "Soon, people will get tired of superheroes", but there's no reason to believe that. These are good movies, and they have a HUGE fanbase. The highest grossing franchise ever won't just suddenly stop making money one day.
One thing that surprised me in the movie theater was that the audience did not give two shits about the BvS trailer. During the Star Wars trailer, man did people go crazy. Really makes you worry about BvS. Anyway I thought this movie was Awesometacular, absolutely fantastic.
I'm ALL ALONE on this one, but I'd rather see Ant-Man over Batman v Superman at this point in time.... I know I'm the only person who feels this way, but Ant-Man just seems different, intriguing and connects with the MCU.
All Marvel movies are practically the same. "Oh boy. Look! This guy is special! He cracks one liners and makes families laugh everywhere in a theater near them." Marvel has become no better than the rest of Hollywood, they're gonna keep milking the comics and never actually have a conclusion unless we as an audience brighten up and realize we deserve quality movies. Personally I'm incredibly excited for suicide squad since it's actually something new and intriguing. Batman v Superman looks good too, but not as good as suicide squad
NeonTime Its so easy to defeat these DC Fanboys who are so jealous , it oozes out of their pours. . . First of all, if it wasnt for movies like Iron Man or Ant-Man, there would be NO Batman v Superman or Suicide Squad. You can worship Marvel Studios and Avengers for WB to invest 250 million into those two movies. Second of all, DC is now away with Nolan universe and COPYING Marvel Universe. Batman v Superman looks EXACTLY like a Marvel movie with a darker tone, yet these DC fanboys claim that they are SOOO different. And finally, my last point is DC produced Man of Steel, Green Lantern, Catwoman, Batman & Robin, The Dark Knight Rises - what makes you guys think that the DC films will improve ? Because of Snyder ?? I saw the same DC Fanboys go wild when Man of Steel trailer hit the web, then they turned on it saying that was not a real superman movie. Now, they are jumping on the bandwagon of Batman v Superman. Come on.... DC Fanboys seem to just be bandwagon fans who wish their DC characters got proper treatment on the big screen, instead they are just imitating Marvel's blueprint.
Roger R What part of Bat v Supes is a copy of Marvel? That it's a comic book adaptation? And Dark Knight Rises did better than most of the Marvel movies. And you're bashing DC with a JOKER picture?
I saw Ant-man on my birthday, and it was epic. I liked how they fit Falcon and Hydra into the movie, and Yellowjacket was a great villain. There was good humour as well.
Understandable seeing as it is his opinion/view on the movies, however to say all there films have been solid would be abit of a stretch :/ avengers 2 was rocky and way to comical that by the end I didn't care who died or what ultron did, thor 2 was good not great, first thor was decent, first captain America was okay at best :/ there's quite a few that didn't have the same magic some of the other films had but obviously that is my personal opinion :3 so no hate
I loved how they used the size changing changing for some pretty cool action sequences. Using him switching between small/large mid fight was so fun to watch, but they still kind of joke about how silly it seems (with the train scene we seen), but also the ping pong paddle scene which was hilarious. Jeremy mentioned it in the video, but it was really refreshing seeing it on a small scale (pun intended), if you think about it, the only thing that really gets destroyed is the building (and that is destroyed in a creative way) and then the kid's bedroom. I love how this film was released the same year as Age of Ultron, so we can appreciate both films because of how different they are.
The biggest thing I loved about this movie was that it wasn't a crazy, shit hits the fan, world exploding movie and yet it still kept my attention the whole time and kept me laughing. I'm glad it was this way especially after age of ultron where everything is going crazy(in a good way). It was kinda like a break from all the end of the world type hero movies.
So I just came back from watching the 11:30am showing at my local theater (I have the day off of work ;) ...I gotta say. Jeremy bro...you're On Point! I loved the movie and you say it perfectly in your review! Good job!
Just saw it today and I am very suprised! Its one of the best standalones to date. Id say it goes; 1. Captain America: Winter Soldier 2. Iron Man 3. Ant-Man Would be 4th if you cant Guardians of the Galaxy as a standalone, but bottom line its a great film, very entertaining.
While I do agree the origin was rushed, he was definitely a really cool villain. He was menacing but humorous, scary but sarcastic, and creepy but cool. He was enjoyable to watch as he was frightening to watch. Loki was decent in the Thor films but in The Avengers he wasn't even a good character. His intentions made no sense, he did nothing during the entire battle, he killed a character that no one cared about and he was easily beaten by one member of the team. Loki in The Avengers was a fucking joke.
***** Fair enough. To me, Ultron wasn't remotely menacing. Through the whole film he was a lame smart ass robot with zero backstory and motivation. Not to mention how they changed the character to suit the younger audience. Completely different from trailers and what they promised us. I think after 11 movies, I think its time to say no to mediocre and have some standards.
I have to say the same. I went on the odd chance without much thought and actually found myself highly rating this film. was far far better than I expected. I'd definitely see it again and look forward to how they can take ant man further in the future marvel releases. Quality performance by Rudd!
Just saw this today and it was SUPER AWESOME!! :D A little slow during some parts but for the most part I thought the action was great, the comedy was also enjoyable without being too forced or overwhelming, and the character interactions felt natural :) Great job Marvel, you have yet to disappoint! :D
dude you're my favorite movie reviewer/critic. I'm not sure which one you go by. but I highly respect your opinion. you're so analytical! and I see what you were talking about after seeing a movie you reviewed. so please don't stop this AWESOMETACULAR work! thank you for hours upon hours of entertainment. keep it going. peace! (+jeremyjahns)
It's very good but not that great than Avengers 2 however my only problem with the MCU is the fact that they make most of their villains like punching bag weaklings I mean granted there's still some strong and memorable ones (Kingpin, Ultron, Iron Monger and Abomination especially Loki from the Thor films) but sadly the others such as Ronan, Whiplash and especially Malekith are weak, undeveloped, unmemorable and watered down in perspective. Hell...people can bitch on the villains from Fox, Sony and DC/WB all they fucking want...but at least their motives were developed and they made sense. Although I'm a fan of the MCU, I'm not gonna sit back there like a blind biased fanboy and say ''OMG IT'S SOOO PURRRFECT!!!!'' because it certainly isn't, I love it but that dosen't mean I have to like everything in it unlike some fans do because I do have some problems with it and the Studio in general.
I liked this film a lot. It was fun, witty, smart, and explosive all spearheaded by the writing of the great Edgar Wright and the charming performance of Paul Rudd. I went into this film with low expectations (due to my unfamiliarity with the character/concept), and it came out better than I expected. In my opinion, I think it's a better film than Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, and The Incredible Hulk at the least, it's median would be around the quality of the first Thor and Captain America films (if not a little better), and at most better than Guardians of the Galaxy (at most I said; that's not a definite). As for formidable villains, I would add Red Skull and Alexander Pierce to that list. For this movie's villain, I knew beforehand this wasn't going to be some formidable for-the-ages villain, but I liked what was presented to us. Corey Stoll brings us back to the age of villains that we thought had either died out or never existed. He's not an emotionally complex villain (i.e. Magneto, Doc Ock, etc.), nor a gripping, fearsome villain (i.e. Joker, Ultron), but he's not a "watered-down" Saturday-morning cartoon villain either. What I like is that he isn't self-aware that he's evil nor that he thinks he's doing the right thing, but he's just nefarious in his own way that makes him a delight to watch on screen. And I also love it how he's just so casual about using lambs as test-subjects and just wiping the floor of the remains of the guy he vaporized with the paper towel he just washed his hands with. And the fights with Cross as Yellowjacket were pretty stylish and imaginative as well.
Delon Luu Does "the accords" refer to Civil War? What about this other reference? "We have a guy who can jump. A guy who can swing. A guy who can crawl up walls."
Ant Man would make a great open world game, am I the only one here who thinks that? I mean, since you're a thief, you can accept quests from people and then wear your suit to help with the quest. you can control ants, unlock different characters, the game would most likely be stealth, and you can strategically use ants for transportation and stuff. Someone do this already!
I loved the story mentioning Falcon and Spider-Man from Anna Akana. "My Cousin Ignacio" Lmaooo. The whole ending sequence was hilarious! Especially his awkward blinking and smiling!
i have to agree with jeremy about michael douglas as ant-man/hank pym .especially during the flashback scene that scene totally channeled pym's ant man to big screen effectively .i wished this movie was done 20 years back so that douglas can play a young pym
After The Avengers there was Iron Man 3, which wasn't very good, and Thor 2 which was pretty bad. But 2014 had 2 of the best Disney Marvel movies which were The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy. Great year for them. Then this year they had the 'meh and messy' Age of Ultron and the funny but 'generic' Ant-Man. If the pattern follows then 2016 will be one heck of a year for Disney Marvel with Civil War and Dr. Strange. I see it more as a roller coaster...
Luis Gonzalez As a comic fan it's consistent to me. I like all the movies with the only one I wasn't big on was Iron Man 3 with occasional gems like Iron Man 1, Cap 2 and GOTG thrown in.
Luis Gonzalez lol, I thought I was the only one that noticed the pattern. For Marvel... 2008- Great 2010-crap 2011-meh to good. 2012-Amazingly great. 2013-incredibly meh. 2014-nothing short of greatness. 2015-at least good. 2016-should be great If I was Marvel I'd only release movies on even years, months, and days/date.
It's become the cool thing to do smh. Hate on Marvel just because. Even if they had some less than stellar movies after Avengers both movies in 2014 & 2015 have been great imo
This movie was a very good movie. This movie makes itself special by the hardwork of three amazing actors.. 3 Corey Stoll as Darren Cross/ Yellowjacket 2 Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne And finally the best actor in the movie... 1 Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/ Ant-Man My rating for this movie is 8.5/10
I definitely have to agree.🙌 Ant man really exceed my expectations. .really did a great job with the humor and the action, and also the right length. ..it was long and drawn out, specially for an origin story movie. I really enjoyed it also it was just the right length too, not like some of these movies that your like dang when is this going to end?🐢
+Jorge Ortiz You better be joking. There has been many great super hero movies since Superman the movie came out. Like Batman and Batman Returns along with Spiderman and Spiderman 2 along with X-Men X-Men 2 and X-Men First Class and X-Men Days of Future Past and The Wolverine. Plus other great superhero movies are also The Dark Knight and Iron Man pretty much any movie in the MCU with an emphasis on The Avengers
Just saw it, and it was really good. I mean, I still think the movie should've been about Hank Pym and Janet Van-Dyne, as apposed to reducing Hank Pym to an elderly mentor figure and Janet Van-Dyne as a damn cameo. But I had a lot of fun with this movie. Nowhere near as epic as "Avengers:Age of Ultron", but a still a fun addition to the MCU.
SuperLemurboy As long as i get some great characters and stories i couldn't care less. And thats coming from somebody who usually prefers DC over Marvel.
I love this movie. In my opinion, the third best Marvel movie. 1. Captain American - The Winter Soldier 2. Avengers 3. Ant-Man I think people are getting sick of so many super-heroes movies, and it is the reason they "didn't like" Age of Ultron that much. Lots of criticism against AOU. What is really weird, because the movie is VERY good.
Hahaha! At the 2:50 mark I love Jeremy's facial expression and the manner in which he says "that dude looks like he's going to own some fucking face!". Just recently got into your reviews top 10 lists and I have to say keep up the good work. You're actually quite entertaining and I don't tend to watch video reviews because the majority of the people who do them are quite annoying.
For a second, I thought he was going to do the entire review tiny.
Same
I was a little dissapointed. #wewanttinyjeremy!
mock15halo His armpits?
mock15halo Easy tiger
Me too
Can't believe Jeremy didn't even mention the character Luis. I thought he was the best
+Der Krazy Kraut I honestly didn't find him funny.
+kratoscallofduty he kind of got on my nerves a bit. His bits were cool at the start but after a few scenes the bit became stale.
+Der Krazy Kraut Luis' intel was legit.
I think he was the most funny character , he's a very good actor.
Luis at first I thought was going to be annoying. But he wasn't and I thought him and his two buddies were really funny.
I wanted to see more of Scott's crew, those guys were hilarious.
Scott is gonna appear in Captain America Civil War
dflowers30 Scott with another heroes is also awesome!
Same
Thanks to the Ant-Man movie, I no longer view Ant-man as a useless Avenger.
Daniel Maximoff Especially after he fought an Avenger and didn't die.
50PSP Animation Channel That fight scene was amazing! I love seeing heros vs. heros
50PSP Animation Channel You mean Hulk?
Joey B.
That fight was one of my favorite parts of the movie. :D
Daniel Maximoff No in the movie he fought Falcon at the Avengers facility.
I love the Spider-Man reference they had.
Whaaaaaattt?
kol9495 "We got a dude that swings around and climbs on walls."
Tissan Young "I want a guy who can shrink"
Tissan Young OMFG IKR
Tissan Young Man that reference was killer, but for me I have to see him on screen to go crazy, that first time will be a crazy moment in the MCU of course.
michael pena was SOOOO funny
Didn't expect blue ray! I thought you'd say Awesometacular after all that!
Mohammad Ghachame I'm guessing the first 15 minutes knocked it down from Awesometacular.
jones81381 Jeremy has talked about how Awesometacular movies have a moment where you're sitting in the theater and you just realize "Holy shit, this movie is AMAZING," and Ant Man probably just never had that, if I had to guess. Though he clearly still enjoyed it.
jones81381 yeah the first 15 minuites are exposition heavy in which people having short attention span would find boring.
J.J. L. I haven't seen it yet, and I don't mind exposition, but seeing as the first 15 minutes the only negative thing Jeremy really had to say about it, I'm guessing that's why it didn't get Awesometacular.
I already saw it 2 days ago. Most people want to see a Marvel movie for the action. this one doesn't have heavy action on its first 15/30 minuites so that's a heads-up for those people who haven't seen it yet.
What is this?! A review for ants?!
hand52jz Amazing.
Seriously it has to be at least 5 times bigger than this.
hand52jz Why is Hank Pym obsessed with Ants man?
hand52jz, you win for best comment, lol!
hand52jz I dont get it?
Anyone back to spot the mini jeremy on the thumbnail?
Our Almighty Lord Sanogo Yes, but I can’t find him
David Medina He's on the suit wrinkle but like he said it's too small n TH-cam
60% of the time Paul Rudd kills it everytime.
Damn that's a thinker.
Sex panther.
Reuben Chandler-Wall You didn't get the reference. Watch Anchorman.
egodrive I guess he did
egodrive I think YOU didn't get HIS reference. Lol
Marvel took Iron Man, a relatively unknown hero and turned him into one of the best known superheroes, they made a risk by throwing many heroes into one movie and actually pulled that off without it feeling forced, they took a comic book that no one read and turned it into one of the most popular movies of the year. And now they managed to make a good Ant-man movie even though no one believed in it. It's official, Marvel is pretty much legally printing money at this point.
Evelina999 Iron Man was an a-list known character since the late 70's. He was not on par with such characters like Spider-Man or X-Men in terms of popularity, but he had huge following and fanbase. Iron Man wouldn't got made if he was " relatively unknown". Relatively unknown characters don't have their own comic book series that goes for almost four decades.

SepticGod He had that popularity among people who read comic books, that's a small portion of Americans. In the rest of the world very few people knew who he was.
Evelina999 Also the fact that Iron Man, in his long while in comics, was protrayed as an alchoholic and damaged man, depressed and sad, etc. It was great to see Downey liven it up.
ScortchAlcatraz that was the best part of the Iron Man comics. The fact that he was so grounded in terms of personality and why he's so reletable. And that's why he became my number one comic book character in a mainstream comics since I was a kid. If Tony Stark was written from the beginning like in the movies, snarky, cocky, narcissistic, I wouldn't even care to pick up any comics with him. Sorry to break it for ya', but comic book Stark is a better written and fleshed out character than his movie iteration.
SepticGod
I'm not saying the movie iteration is better at all, I much prefer the comic version, but it was still an interesting turn.
Is it odd to say I liked _Ant-Man_ better than _Age of Ultron_?
Mr. Fedora not really. Story is not convoluted in Ant-Man. in terms of quality, ant man is a bit better
Mr. Fedora I liked it better too.
Mr. Fedora No it's called an opinion.
Some opinions can be viewed as odd ones though, and I do have some of them.
Mr. Fedora Be proud of your thoughts! That's what makes you, you.
Best Intro Ever!
RedLightning007 Haha, you should check out some of mine. Puts this to shame.
Jogwheel Hello and welcome to Movie Night, you're our host, Jonathan Paula.
TheNerdFormer That seems extremely harsh for such an innocuous comment.
Jogwheel
I'd prefer not to get into your cancerous, piece of shit excuse for a channel.
TheNerdFormer
Because you know I'm right. And please, calm down the rhetoric. I didn't get to 800,000 subscribers with a "piece of shit" channel. Seriously dude, lighten up.
_There's an Ant-Man Movie, _*_HOLY SHIT_*_...why didn't Marvel tell me_
Yellow jacket is waaay better
ps3shark1 ...
Ant-Man Are you Hank or Scott?
StudioInkblot i think he's scott.
The Angry Tree how did you know?
Got a good laugh when you carried the cold-open just passed the title screen. Nicely done man.
Come on, collab you two!!
It's a shame Jeremy and you haven't collaborated yet. That could be a really cool episode
Smartie 9000 I've tried. Sorry.
Feud Nation Never stop trying. He'll turn up eventually. I have faith in you Adam. I know you can do it :-)
"Ant-Man, it slides right in there" - Jeremy Jahns
I can see that on the front of a Blu-Ray.
I want a t-shirt that says "WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT!?" with Jeremy's face on it
Lol hell yea!!!!!!
Oh crap, someone's gotta make that. I'd totally buy that.
Yes! That needs to be a thing
William Kim and with the female version, he should be pointing at one of the breasts
I finished watching this, I was thinking. . .why was Lex Luthor in this movie?
Yellow Jacket = Lex Luthor
Alex "E." Luthor = The Riddler
+Christian charles
Right?!?
Exactly , He was a better Lex than the actual Lex , Marvel was like "hey if you don't want to use him properly we'll take it from here ."
This is honestly one of my Top 5 favorite Marvel movies. I will never look at ants the same anymore. I want to marry Hope (Evangeline Lilly) and the fight scene with ____i won't spoil it____was amazing!
Josh Jelks IKR "The Captain doesn't need to know what happened here okay?" -falcon
Ikr!!! This movie made me feel sad about crushing all those Ant Farms in the middle of the sidewalk. );
I love you baby 💏💏💏.
Josh Jelks they tied in to the MCU so fucking well, those last two scenes oh man, I really hope we can get Ant-Man and Wasp in the new Avengers formation that would be *sick*
Josh Jelks Being in a top 5 out of 12 doesn't say much really, but I know what you mean. I am really looking forward to seeing it when I get back from my trip!
As marvel movies go this is actually one of the more realistic premises we've seen
There's that word "realistic"
Albert Fernandez is plausible sophisticated enough for you professor
kilroyjenkins1 are you saying this because of how antman reacted to everything? because i also thought he had really good true feelings average people would also have with the things that happened.
babiJess0705 no i mean the entire premise of the movie is alot more realistic compared to things like Age of Ultron where the thunder god fights along side a giant green monster and the hulk
oh ok. yea that is true. its all science in this movie.
I fucking loved Ant Man. All my friends said it sucked and most of the reviews online were terrible, but to me it was the same feel as Guardians. There were some great moments and it was really well executed.
This shrinking thing is going to be popular with almost everyone who reviews this movie its the 3rd reviewer who did it
juandeldiablo696 lol ikr. schmoesknow did as well.
juandeldiablo696 of course! wouldn't you? how could you resist? why would you resist? ha ha! It's obvious, funny and fun at the same time... how often does that happen?
juandeldiablo696 You watch a lot of movie reviews, don't you?
Gawillamon lol i certainly do. i think gotta weird obsession over watching people review things not just movies
The Angry Tree I love watching movie reviews, game review( most of them suck), anime reviews but I wouldn't call it a obsession I would call it an interest on how people perceive the game, anime, movie.
This was a hugely enjoyable movie. Marvel are on a roll and at this point can hardly go wrong, providing Sony aren't involved (After they fucked up Spiderman with TASM2).
As for Fox, sorry but so far Fantastic 4 has not won me over.
Brandon Hudson Whoops, my bad. XD
Don't worry Sony still screws marvel movies ASM
Um, sir. The Amazing Spiderman 2 was the best Spiderman movie to come out so far! You must really not like the other movies then. Also sucks for you! Fantastic Four's gonna be fucking amazing! Ant-Man was fucking amazing too though.
Btw Mostafa, SONY never screwed up with that franchise at all. They just fucking fired Andrew. That's it.
Ryan R. They did screw up Spiderman. Multiple times.
Ant-man was like the Aquaman of Marvel. Everyone loves riding the ban wagon claiming he is lame without reading a single comics. Or even if they know he is respectable, they still love humor at his expense. Not anymore.
I'm glad someone recognises this issue. Movie-going audiences do not take films seriously nowadays, then they throw the blame at the creators.
0:03 Jeremy confirmed for MCU! See you in Civil War Jeremy.
I just got out of the theater and I really liked it! Paul Rudd did a great job as the protagonist. I liked the funny, light-hearted nature of this film.
I've never been so surprisingly impressed before. Honestly, I had no idea what to expect, but opening credits with mariachi music was certainly not expected. The movie did such a good job being small (No Pun Intended) after Age of Ultron. The plot was so solid and actually creative. Scott Lang is probably the most relatable character so far which was so nice. I loved all the character building. Hank Pym and Hope Pym even had depth despite not being the main characters. Also, they admitted that The Avengers exist and that they could just call them!!! That was so satisfying since most solo movies suffer from that. I cannot express how pleasing it was.
the only thing that I find odd is that Avengers headquarters is much easier to break into then Pym technologies
So if marvel can make ant man work surely DC can make aqua man work right.... Right?
***** I know but the average joe thinks of him as "the guy who talks to fish"
Real Aquaman's cool. The barbarian they're trying to work with in their new movies? I have no hope.
Melvin Carter It is WAY easier to introduce a new character than make one with a bad reputation work.
Melvin Carter Judging by the reaciton from the pic that was released of him, I think they will be okay
Derp Jackson With a character like Superman, someone is going to get pissed off. Too many people have different expectations.
Just here to see the mini Jeremy in the thumbnail.
I don't see it..
Me neither
He is on the right side below his shoulder
Mr. Doge oh I see it now. Just a speckle lol. Thought was on the shoulder
Did Antman, being a guy and using his powers, wandered around trying to get some quality Up-Skirt shots? No? Then you know the character is written wrong.
That's a different version of ant man. Do a Google image for eric O'Grady ant man
Yuri PRIME If there's no cleavage shot (which was a thing he's done) I'll never see this movie.
Yuri PRIME Eric O'Grady who was the 3rd Ant-man was getting up skirt shots and even watch Ms Marvel take a shower lol.
toshironoronin.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/antman_msmarvel.jpg
Trollicious Teabag His face though.
Perverted Ant-man in the politically correct Avengers?
Nigga, puh-lease.
This movie bugged me
Carlos!
Godzelda123 Ehhhhhh I see what you did there you clever dog
+Godzelda123 please expand upon that that isnt enough to make any valid sense
joshua bedwell pun
pən/Submit
noun
1.
a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings.
"the pigs were a squeal (if you'll forgive the pun)"
synonyms: play on words, wordplay, double entendre, innuendo, witticism, quip, bon mot
""you can make your own antifreeze by stealing her blanket" is a pun guaranteed to get some groans"
verb
1.
make a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word.
"his first puzzle punned on composers, with answers like “Handel with care” and “Haydn go seek”"
+Godzelda123 I see what you did there: bugged = ant. Har.
I laugh so hard at that Titanic iceberg joke. "Like what happen to the DiCaprio".
Anyone noticed when Scott Lang first puts on the Ant Man suit and had no idea what the suit was, there 2 buttons. One on his left hand and the other one on his right hand...When he clicked the left button nothing happened but when he clicked the right, he shrinks....Could it be that the left button is the switch for Giant Man? What if that Giant Man button was left open for another movie like Civil War?
Afterall Hank Pym wanted Scott to steal the suit for pulling off a heist and not turn into Giant Man and wreck the city. So he knew Scott was coming to steal the suit and locked the Giant Man ability
Phillip Kesumo I thought the left button made him normal? Or did he just press the right one for that as well?
Ichigo Kurosaki Its kind of confusing though but I think the right button is to change him small and back to normal again. Similarly I think that the right button is to change him into Giant Man and back to normal again
Ichigo Kurosaki Oh wait *left button for Giant Man. Error in info. Sorry.
In Hank Pym's lab, you actually see two kinds of Pym Particles. Hank only ever gives Scott red ones, but there are also blue ones.
woah wat, thought was gearin up for awesometacular
IamZedX Still great rating tho. :D
The Spider-Man reference, the James Cameron Titanic joke, and the INCREDIBLE acting during Micheal Peña's hilarious story telling skills alone made this movie awesome.

BlueFox94 Its ok DC fangay , we get it , you have to wait a year.
Gabriel Gonzalez Actually, I'm on neither side. I'm on the side of good cinema and frankly, a good portion of the MCU isn't good cinema, but $100 million dollar setups for the next film. But hell, at least they have a system going for them. Everyone else non-Dark Knight trilogy is falling all over themselves trying to find success in ways other than making good films first and foremost. And, much to our misfortune, these trends of popular things making mediocre works of art are bringing the medium down.
Just to be clear, I do think the first Iron Man, Gotg, Ant-Man, and the two Captain America films are entertainment with a decent amount of brains behind them.
When we have a popular, mainstream culture that would rather applaud a trailer than a Birdman, a Whiplash, a Grand Budapest Hotel (just to name a few), we've got some major obstacles to overcome. The only organic way to overcome bad trends is to wait it out until we get tired of it, which is already happening. Age of Ultron, as just one example, only came out a little less than three months ago, and I'm amazed at how little people are talking about it now.
BlueFox94 I loved Age of Ultron , I'm not gettin tired of the marvel movies just like jeremy , Im 20 years old , and Im going to love the Marvel movies for years to come , and when infinity wars comes out , im going to be there with my Marvel t-shirt and a big smile on my face , I don't think a movie is mediocre just because it has humor on it ,I don't pay attention to this elite people ,hating on the popular and then crying alone in the bed, DC is taking their movies too serious , but instead of making a the Killing joke , Dark knight returns or another good story into a movie , they try to copy Marvel but without the humor , they are not trying to break the boundaries and make a piece of art , that argument is bullshit and you know it ,they only want to make money , I mean look at green lantern.Nolan its not going to save them anymore and his movies were never part of the DCU.The DCU started with Man of steel and I don't even want to talk about that movie , aaghhh!
Gabriel Gonzalez I'm 20 years old as well and I get that studios want to make money. If you want to make a business with no intention of making money, your priorities are misguided. That's Business 101, right there and I understand.
But, as CinemaSins Jeremy once said, "you can be a business without being a whore." And in the brothel that is Hollywood, Marvel is one of the main proprietors.
One thing I keep telling comic book fans who seem so blind to the apparent faults that these films can and do have is this: the medium of the comic book is unique in its beauty and in its potential faults (one being the consistent pandering to entertainment as opposed to making timeless singular stories - the presence of multiple, perhaps even contradictory and reimagined, storylines for characters being the evidence of that). But once you make the move to Cinema, your rules must change. You're not here to fortify a universe, but to make a gripping, stand-alone work of art. You're combining the best of all other past arts, no longer just one. Worry about building your universe after making great films. That's what the first Iron Man, Gotg, Ant-Man, and to an extent the two Captain America films have succeeded at doing.
The lack of originality and risk in Hollywood has reached their biggest incarnation in the MCU and it's their influence on how the rest of the industry makes new stuff that's the most damaging.
I ain't elite at all. You don't have to be elite to recognize when a media trend is so willing to eschew quality and logic in near-complete favor of pandering to audiences. I wouldn't say that if over half of the MCU films were great films, but most aren't. There has to be a balance between quality and audience desire (the latter being more unpredictable) and this current imbalance is going to be the bane of the industry for the next decade or so to come.
I've put off watching Antman because it sounded rubbish...but after finally watching it the other day,I wished I'd watched it sooner!!.. absolutely loved it!.
Amazing!!! Absolutely loved it! My only gripe was the actress playing Hope because I didn't believe her sad-face acting.
ShartimusPrime what's up shartimus
I think the true star of this movie was Thomas the Tank Engine.
Antman was way better than Age of Ultron
+mounir maged lol yea it was xD
You're nuts
+Mallika Banerjee Marry me...? 💍
PS: This is not some stalker antic - just someone who appreciates a woman who doesn't bullshit with the truth. Age of Ultron 👉🏽 💩
Toni Kavorkias thanks =)
«JustEnder» Defo not a stalker! You should keep asking and track her down.... that's what all great guys do when a woman says Ant-Man is better than Ultron! completely sane.
Iron Man: Who are you...
Shashank Laur I'm batman
I loved it! It's my new favorite Marvel Movie!
4th best for me
Don't forget about Deadpool!
James P. Sullivan Deadpool ain't out yet buddy.
ArkayneShad0w I meant don't rule out Deadpool yet. He should of said Favorite Marvel Movie So far.
James P. Sullivan I never did! :P
I thought paul rudd would make the movie far too corny, but it turned out to be really good, and he didn't overplay the part.
Did TH-cam truly fuck up the thumbnail so much we can't see mini-Jeremy or did he bamboozle us all?
3p1cC4nuck
TH-cam fucked up. Look between the folds of his left arm, it's super blurry and really small but it's there.
I don't think I will ever get tired of Marvel movies. As long as they stay good, I will be interested.
They are pretty consistent even if someone doesn't like them.
Off topic: I am still waiting for a Children Of Hurin trilogy.
Yes. We definitely need the other tales of Middle-Earth to be told.
+Cor Tadew I guess the problem with marvel movies is even when they are somehow bad (like the iron man sequels) you like them in a way because you see what they tried to do.
The whole concept of "superhero fatigue" is just that: a concept. Everybody's saying "Soon, people will get tired of superheroes", but there's no reason to believe that. These are good movies, and they have a HUGE fanbase. The highest grossing franchise ever won't just suddenly stop making money one day.
Who came back after his ant man and the wasp review to see the little Jeremy in the thumbnail?
Tristan Vargas lol same here.
I still can’t see it
Maltige Key yeah me either
This movie is one of the best marvel movies,easily top 4 for me
My top 4 before phase 3.
1. Iron Man
2. Winter Soldier
3. The Avengers
4. Guardians
Watched this a couple days of go! This film is one of the best marvel films ever made!
I’m just here to see the thumbnail
HOW this wasn't on Jeremy's Top 10 Best 2015 movies I don't know......
The thumbnail looks like you were going to give this movie awesometacular
The action scenes were really awesome it surprised me
The best TH-cam introduction I have ever seen! A shrinking Jeremy Jahns. Wasn't expecting that. Very funny.
One thing that surprised me in the movie theater was that the audience did not give two shits about the BvS trailer. During the Star Wars trailer, man did people go crazy. Really makes you worry about BvS. Anyway I thought this movie was Awesometacular, absolutely fantastic.
I'm ALL ALONE on this one, but I'd rather see Ant-Man over Batman v Superman at this point in time.... I know I'm the only person who feels this way, but Ant-Man just seems different, intriguing and connects with the MCU.
Same
All Marvel movies are practically the same. "Oh boy. Look! This guy is special! He cracks one liners and makes families laugh everywhere in a theater near them." Marvel has become no better than the rest of Hollywood, they're gonna keep milking the comics and never actually have a conclusion unless we as an audience brighten up and realize we deserve quality movies. Personally I'm incredibly excited for suicide squad since it's actually something new and intriguing. Batman v Superman looks good too, but not as good as suicide squad
Roger R Ironic since it's a generic superhero film while BvS looks like a more layered film but to each his own.
NeonTime Its so easy to defeat these DC Fanboys who are so jealous , it oozes out of their pours. . . First of all, if it wasnt for movies like Iron Man or Ant-Man, there would be NO Batman v Superman or Suicide Squad. You can worship Marvel Studios and Avengers for WB to invest 250 million into those two movies. Second of all, DC is now away with Nolan universe and COPYING Marvel Universe. Batman v Superman looks EXACTLY like a Marvel movie with a darker tone, yet these DC fanboys claim that they are SOOO different. And finally, my last point is DC produced Man of Steel, Green Lantern, Catwoman, Batman & Robin, The Dark Knight Rises - what makes you guys think that the DC films will improve ? Because of Snyder ?? I saw the same DC Fanboys go wild when Man of Steel trailer hit the web, then they turned on it saying that was not a real superman movie. Now, they are jumping on the bandwagon of Batman v Superman. Come on.... DC Fanboys seem to just be bandwagon fans who wish their DC characters got proper treatment on the big screen, instead they are just imitating Marvel's blueprint.
Roger R What part of Bat v Supes is a copy of Marvel? That it's a comic book adaptation? And Dark Knight Rises did better than most of the Marvel movies.
And you're bashing DC with a JOKER picture?
I saw Ant-man on my birthday, and it was epic. I liked how they fit Falcon and Hydra into the movie, and Yellowjacket was a great villain. There was good humour as well.
Maybe I'm wrong but is there any MCU movie that u haven't given a Buy in Bluray or Awesometacular?
Okay so it seems it's just Iron Man 2 then
***** That's my point. He has given 11 of the 12 MCU films aBuy on Bluray at least
Moossa Morales Because they're solid movies.
So? They're good quality movies that are fun and interesting. He likes them, sooooo what's your point?
Understandable seeing as it is his opinion/view on the movies, however to say all there films have been solid would be abit of a stretch :/ avengers 2 was rocky and way to comical that by the end I didn't care who died or what ultron did, thor 2 was good not great, first thor was decent, first captain America was okay at best :/ there's quite a few that didn't have the same magic some of the other films had but obviously that is my personal opinion :3 so no hate
Anyone coming here from the Antman and Wasp review looking for the mini Jeremy in the thumbnail?
I loved how they used the size changing changing for some pretty cool action sequences. Using him switching between small/large mid fight was so fun to watch, but they still kind of joke about how silly it seems (with the train scene we seen), but also the ping pong paddle scene which was hilarious.
Jeremy mentioned it in the video, but it was really refreshing seeing it on a small scale (pun intended), if you think about it, the only thing that really gets destroyed is the building (and that is destroyed in a creative way) and then the kid's bedroom.
I love how this film was released the same year as Age of Ultron, so we can appreciate both films because of how different they are.
The biggest thing I loved about this movie was that it wasn't a crazy, shit hits the fan, world exploding movie and yet it still kept my attention the whole time and kept me laughing. I'm glad it was this way especially after age of ultron where everything is going crazy(in a good way). It was kinda like a break from all the end of the world type hero movies.
Who else is here to check for tiny Jeremy after Ant-Man and The Wasp review
So I just came back from watching the 11:30am showing at my local theater (I have the day off of work ;) ...I gotta say. Jeremy bro...you're On Point! I loved the movie and you say it perfectly in your review! Good job!
Just saw it today and I am very suprised! Its one of the best standalones to date.
Id say it goes;
1. Captain America: Winter Soldier
2. Iron Man
3. Ant-Man
Would be 4th if you cant Guardians of the Galaxy as a standalone, but bottom line its a great film, very entertaining.
Speaking of Ant-Man, anyone else watching Hunter x Hunter?
w0joshcbrln0w right here
Not anymore, I've moved on to Hiatus x Hiatus.
I know that feel bruh
***** The Chimera Ants
Yes. And there hasn't been a new chapter in a year. Fuck.
Who else came back to find the little Jeremy in the thumbnail? Still can't see it
Other than Loki, Marvel just CAN'T make a good fucking villain...
XVSting Replace Loki with Ultron and I couldn't agree with you more.
***** Ultron was awful.
***** Ultron was incredibly lame in my opinion. Rushed with no ideology. Biggest let down in AOU for me.
While I do agree the origin was rushed, he was definitely a really cool villain. He was menacing but humorous, scary but sarcastic, and creepy but cool. He was enjoyable to watch as he was frightening to watch. Loki was decent in the Thor films but in The Avengers he wasn't even a good character. His intentions made no sense, he did nothing during the entire battle, he killed a character that no one cared about and he was easily beaten by one member of the team. Loki in The Avengers was a fucking joke.
***** Fair enough. To me, Ultron wasn't remotely menacing. Through the whole film he was a lame smart ass robot with zero backstory and motivation. Not to mention how they changed the character to suit the younger audience. Completely different from trailers and what they promised us.
I think after 11 movies, I think its time to say no to mediocre and have some standards.
Just saw it, it was definitely awesometacular for me. Absolutely loved it
I have to say the same. I went on the odd chance without much thought and actually found myself highly rating this film. was far far better than I expected. I'd definitely see it again and look forward to how they can take ant man further in the future marvel releases. Quality performance by Rudd!
Overall, an okay film. Real funny, but could've been better with Edgar Wright
Just saw this today and it was SUPER AWESOME!! :D A little slow during some parts but for the most part I thought the action was great, the comedy was also enjoyable without being too forced or overwhelming, and the character interactions felt natural :) Great job Marvel, you have yet to disappoint! :D
Best Marvel film since...Iron Man!
I DONT SEE THE LITTLE JEREMEY ON THE THUMBNAILLLLLL :((
right?!! came back to look for it and subsequently this comment haha
dude you're my favorite movie reviewer/critic. I'm not sure which one you go by. but I highly respect your opinion. you're so analytical! and I see what you were talking about after seeing a movie you reviewed. so please don't stop this AWESOMETACULAR work! thank you for hours upon hours of entertainment. keep it going. peace! (+jeremyjahns)
It's very good but not that great than Avengers 2 however my only problem with the MCU is the fact that they make most of their villains like punching bag weaklings
I mean granted there's still some strong and memorable ones (Kingpin, Ultron, Iron Monger and Abomination especially Loki from the Thor films) but sadly the others such as Ronan, Whiplash and especially Malekith are weak, undeveloped, unmemorable and watered down in perspective.
Hell...people can bitch on the villains from Fox, Sony and DC/WB all they fucking want...but at least their motives were developed and they made sense.
Although I'm a fan of the MCU, I'm not gonna sit back there like a blind biased fanboy and say ''OMG IT'S SOOO PURRRFECT!!!!'' because it certainly isn't, I love it but that dosen't mean I have to like everything in it unlike some fans do because I do have some problems with it and the Studio in general.
I liked this film a lot. It was fun, witty, smart, and explosive all spearheaded by the writing of the great Edgar Wright and the charming performance of Paul Rudd. I went into this film with low expectations (due to my unfamiliarity with the character/concept), and it came out better than I expected. In my opinion, I think it's a better film than Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, and The Incredible Hulk at the least, it's median would be around the quality of the first Thor and Captain America films (if not a little better), and at most better than Guardians of the Galaxy (at most I said; that's not a definite).
As for formidable villains, I would add Red Skull and Alexander Pierce to that list.
For this movie's villain, I knew beforehand this wasn't going to be some formidable for-the-ages villain, but I liked what was presented to us. Corey Stoll brings us back to the age of villains that we thought had either died out or never existed. He's not an emotionally complex villain (i.e. Magneto, Doc Ock, etc.), nor a gripping, fearsome villain (i.e. Joker, Ultron), but he's not a "watered-down" Saturday-morning cartoon villain either. What I like is that he isn't self-aware that he's evil nor that he thinks he's doing the right thing, but he's just nefarious in his own way that makes him a delight to watch on screen. And I also love it how he's just so casual about using lambs as test-subjects and just wiping the floor of the remains of the guy he vaporized with the paper towel he just washed his hands with. And the fights with Cross as Yellowjacket were pretty stylish and imaginative as well.
Spent Lizard agreed there
Btw did you catch a reference in the post-credits scene?
Delon Luu Does "the accords" refer to Civil War?
What about this other reference?
"We have a guy who can jump. A guy who can swing. A guy who can crawl up walls."
Spent Lizard Spider-Man!!!!! :DDD
Delon Luu Did you get it when you saw it in theaters?
Who else is coming back to look at the thumbnail
Ant Man would make a great open world game, am I the only one here who thinks that? I mean, since you're a thief, you can accept quests from people and then wear your suit to help with the quest. you can control ants, unlock different characters, the game would most likely be stealth, and you can strategically use ants for transportation and stuff. Someone do this already!
My aunt really wants to see this with me and I have a bad feeling
Trey Smith Listen to your aunt ;)
Why are others so
negative all i heard is that its good
RedShibo ....
RedShibo you need jesus
Trey Smith Yeah dude. Gotta listen to your aunt... man.
I saw the mini Jeremy.
where :o (don't say his shoulder - be more specific)
I loved the story mentioning Falcon and Spider-Man from Anna Akana.
"My Cousin Ignacio" Lmaooo. The whole ending sequence was hilarious! Especially his awkward blinking and smiling!
They made Ant-Man awesome. Your move DC.
Who came here to find mini Jeremy??
i have to agree with jeremy about michael douglas as ant-man/hank pym .especially during the flashback scene that scene totally channeled pym's ant man to big screen effectively .i wished this movie was done 20 years back so that douglas can play a young pym
I don’t see a little Jeremy on his shoulder..
I can't stand reading the comments anymore. Ever since phase 2 started after Avengers and the MCU became huge everyone hates it now.
After The Avengers there was Iron Man 3, which wasn't very good, and Thor 2 which was pretty bad.
But 2014 had 2 of the best Disney Marvel movies which were The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy. Great year for them.
Then this year they had the 'meh and messy' Age of Ultron and the funny but 'generic' Ant-Man.
If the pattern follows then 2016 will be one heck of a year for Disney Marvel with Civil War and Dr. Strange.
I see it more as a roller coaster...
Luis Gonzalez As a comic fan it's consistent to me. I like all the movies with the only one I wasn't big on was Iron Man 3 with occasional gems like Iron Man 1, Cap 2 and GOTG thrown in.
Luis Gonzalez lol, I thought I was the only one that noticed the pattern. For Marvel...
2008- Great
2010-crap
2011-meh to good.
2012-Amazingly great.
2013-incredibly meh.
2014-nothing short of greatness.
2015-at least good.
2016-should be great
If I was Marvel I'd only release movies on even years, months, and days/date.
Sir Cakington i agree with this statement
It's become the cool thing to do smh. Hate on Marvel just because. Even if they had some less than stellar movies after Avengers both movies in 2014 & 2015 have been great imo
This movie was a very good movie. This movie makes itself special by the hardwork of three amazing actors..
3 Corey Stoll as Darren Cross/ Yellowjacket
2 Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne
And finally the best actor in the movie...
1 Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/ Ant-Man
My rating for this movie is 8.5/10
Ant man hit his wife. NEVER FORGET!
DreamcastGuy So did Spider-man.
He did. When he went crazy. And he is ashamed of it. And its not like Wasp is a damsel in distress
That was Hank Pym. This is Scott Lang.
Haha yeah he showed her!
Haha yeah he showed her!
Anyone else here to check out the ant sized Jeremy after watching the Wasp review?
I definitely have to agree.🙌 Ant man really exceed my expectations. .really did a great job with the humor and the action, and also the right length. ..it was long and drawn out, specially for an origin story movie. I really enjoyed it also it was just the right length too, not like some of these movies that your like dang when is this going to end?🐢
Absolute best superhero movie since Superman the movie.
+Jorge Ortiz You better be joking. There has been many great super hero movies since Superman the movie came out. Like Batman and Batman Returns along with Spiderman and Spiderman 2 along with X-Men X-Men 2 and X-Men First Class and X-Men Days of Future Past and The Wolverine. Plus other great superhero movies are also The Dark Knight and Iron Man pretty much any movie in the MCU with an emphasis on The Avengers
Nah
ramdelure Ya
***** The Avengers and Avengers Age of Ultron along with various others are not mediocre or trash
I can't believe that no spoiler Talk video for Ant-Man
Just saw it, and it was really good. I mean, I still think the movie should've been about Hank Pym and Janet Van-Dyne, as apposed to reducing Hank Pym to an elderly mentor figure and Janet Van-Dyne as a damn cameo. But I had a lot of fun with this movie. Nowhere near as epic as "Avengers:Age of Ultron", but a still a fun addition to the MCU.
Yeah, that mini version of you didn’t make it...
Marvel like always ripping off DC *cough* the atom *cough*
Lol marvel rips off DC but the but they're characters are more popular than the originals
SuperLemurboy yeah cause DC doesnt rip off marvel at all. *cough* oh yeah they do
SuperLemurboy which is kinda funny since the atom in CW Arrow is pretty much the ripoff of MCU ant man
Kevin Johns That's because they tend to be better.
SuperLemurboy As long as i get some great characters and stories i couldn't care less.
And thats coming from somebody who usually prefers DC over Marvel.
I love this movie. In my opinion, the third best Marvel movie.
1. Captain American - The Winter Soldier
2. Avengers
3. Ant-Man
I think people are getting sick of so many super-heroes movies, and it is the reason they "didn't like" Age of Ultron that much. Lots of criticism against AOU. What is really weird, because the movie is VERY good.
This movie is actually good?
So.. DC fanboys… WHAT DO YA THINK OF THAT?
***** uhh nice response! 👍
Fuck you just enjoy both.
Bryanne Peguero I do, I just wanted an excuse to say Jeremy's quote SO, WHAT DO YA THINK OF THAT?
FoemaUnit It's not dark and gritty like my cold heart 7.8/10
Nothig because it wasn't good. It was ok. Very forgettable
the intro to this video had me on the floor. ROFL
Hahaha! At the 2:50 mark I love Jeremy's facial expression and the manner in which he says "that dude looks like he's going to own some fucking face!". Just recently got into your reviews top 10 lists and I have to say keep up the good work. You're actually quite entertaining and I don't tend to watch video reviews because the majority of the people who do them are quite annoying.
Trying to find the mini you.
Sharon Stone will be Janet Van Dyne, calling it.
The Last Starfighter Welp.
