I also feel that it is underrated and the scene where all the characters are voiced by one dude are just fire wish we would have more of him but looks like he is not in the new ant man
Yessss The first ant man is criminally underrated! It's always been one of my fav mcu films I think people's perception of the sequels retroactively made them think the first wasn't great
The first Antman is some of my favorite content in the entirety of the MCU. Scoot is very likable and compelling character and his dynamic with Hope is great. The movie in general is just lots of fun and the heist tone was handled really well. Plus Luis is awesome in every way.
Antman would always be my favorite MCU character and his movies are always a gem for me. Honestly, I didn't even know anything about Antman prior to this. However, afterwards, I really loved it. I think Scott will always be the most unique superhero in the MCU because of his motivations. He is not doing it out of duty, guilt, or big aspirations, but he is doing it for his daughter. All of his efforts are geared towards living up to Cassie's perception of him. He is the first one to have this kind of motivation in the MCU. Moreover, I really enjoyed the three wombats. Luis is hilarious and his "narration schtick" is crazy stupid fine. I was laughing really hard the first time I watched it. Even now whenever he is doing it, it still brings a smile to my face. Also the action sequences of Antman movies are so visually appealing. There is something about them shrinking and growing and fighting regular-sized dudes is such a dynamic fight scene.
Very underrated. This film has a special place in my heart for some family reasons as well and while I think some of your points are a bit of a stretch, I'm glad it means this much to you and I'm happy to see Ant Man get some recognition.
I've always had a soft spot for this movie and I've never really known why. I always knew I loved Scott's story as a divorced dad trying to win the approval of (and even just trying to get the right to see) his daughter. But I could never articulate why it resonated with me. Then I just realized, I'm a child of divorce. I don't know if other people with divorced parents are the same way, but for me, it happened when I was so young (6 years old) that I don't even think about it. Even though it drastically affected my upbringing and how I view the world and probably everything about who I am, it's just so normal to me that I don't even think about the fact that not everyone has that experience. I almost forget that there's this whole other version of Ant-Man that exists in the minds of those who watch it without the experience of living with divorced parents. And I'm not saying those people are incapable of relating to this movie or empathizing with the situations depicted. I'm just saying that I don't think it could be as immediately personal for them as it is for me. I am partial to Scott Lang as a protagonist straight out of the gate without any real development of his character. Because it kind of puts me in the shoes of my dad. Not because my dad is a thief with a heart of gold or a god damn superhero, but because he's just a dad who isn't that good at being a dad but who, at least on some level, wants to be. Most of the circumstances depicted in this movie do not reflect my life. But that little nugget of truth has always resonated with me in a subtle way that I'm still not able to fully explain. I guess the best way I can think of to describe it (and this is a silly comparison because they aren't the same thing at all) would be to say that this is the closest thing I can come to relating to what people mean when they talk about representation in movies. I'm a straight white guy, my lived experience has been at the forefront western cinema for the last century, so being able to see myself on screen has never been a challenge or even a mild inconvenience in my life. But this movie, with its depiction of an unconventional family dynamic, has always kind of felt like mine in a weird way. Anyway, I don't know if I've said anything of value here. I hope you got something out of this. Thank you and goodbye :)
The movie is actually funny, Paul Rudd is legendary, and even if I think Yellowjacket was on the one-dimensional side, I think it works in comparison to Scott. Honestly I’ve always loved characters like Scott and Peter Parker more because sometimes they’re just awkward and genuinely funny while still being caring and actually good people
I remember watching the first Ant-Man movie in theaters with my dad and older brother when I was eleven years old. Since then, I’ve been a fan of the character and the potential stories Marvel can tell. I definitely recommend The Astonishing Ant-Man by Nick Spencer, Ant-Man: World Hive by Zeb Wells, and the more recent Ant-Man: Ant-iversary by Al Ewing
It may seem small, but I really think it was cool how you thanked your very early fans. Even though I didn't start watching the channel until wandavision review, I've made sure to watch many of your earlier videos as well as almost all of them since then. I know many TH-camrs that I've been watching since they started out, and I think it's cool how you directly express your gratitude to those fans as most TH-camrs don't. Great video as usual keep up the good work!
The only issue I have with Antman (and it is a minor gripe) is when it breaks its own rules. The whole point of antman is his momentum never changes so his strength comes from him being very small but having the mass and momentum of a 180 lbs man. That means when he grown big he should also have that same momentum and be like aerogel having no real ability to interact with anything as he would be too weak and it would be very easy for him to be torn apart. The Giant man although fun in the film makes no sense. They could have easily rectified this with a technique where he takes inanimate matter around him and absorbs it (say a truck or concrete and absorbs them in to his body to compensate for the size. If you think this is a stupid nitpic please feel free to let me know
It's fair, but it isn't an issue you have with this movie. It is an issue you have with all of his subsequent appearances because he doesn't grow big in this movie
@@officialmonarchmusic Oh... I think you are right. Well then, I guess I am wrong and I have no issue with Antman. I am going to go rewatch it right now.
Antman to you is how Iron man 3 is to me. It’s a pallet cleanser movie. I love Iron man 3. It’s a great follow up to what Tony went through in Avengers
Ant Man is my favourite and by far the most rewatchable origin story. It makes my husband and I laugh out loud every time. As much as I adore other MCU characters (particularly Iron Man and Thor), Ant Man is a breath of fresh air
Antman is such a good mcu character with some good movies. I like how he’s always the middle man in the mcu or the key to everything sometimes. I was pretty disappointed with antman 3 but still liked the concept of him after facing basically lower villains having to deal a problem “bigger” than him.
They made Darren Cross into a 1960s Cartoon Villain in this movie! *MILD SPOILERS FOR ANT-MAN 3* So of course they would retcon him as M.O.D.O.K. in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania!
Nobody from the original Avengers are truly relatable to the average person but Steve Rogers ia the closest. He was small sickly nobody who noone except his friend Bucky cared about. Nonetheless he was very persistent and had a very goid heart which is why because of his strength in character he was chosen to be CAPTAIN AMERICA.
I love the antman movies. All three of them. In the first movie we see Hank choose Scott to be antman for a job. He keeps the suit, and then helps out in civil war which loses him the support and respect of hope and Hank in antman and the wasp. He spends most of the movie trying to get that respect back. Then infinity war and endgame happen they are back and in quatumania they are finally acting like a cohesive unit. They are finally together getting the will of Hank and Janet done which is making sure Kang doesn't get out. Hank gets his Antman moment and give Scott his mentor to mentee moment (I read every damn word). People don't remember this about the antman films. They are wondering why Janet didn't do too much and why the big ants have to be there etc. Im like y'all are missing it or just don't like the antman movies too much. The progression is small. This is a concluding chapter for them. They finally get a movie where they are a family unit. Janet helped where it counted which is supporting Scott and making sure if he didn't get the job done, she will. The way they both took out Kang in the end was great. The way she comes back for Scott as opposed to the other movie where he's stuck there again was great. It's an acknowledgement that he is family.
I've always loved this movie. It's a lot of fun. I'm not a big Edgar Wright fan so I'm mostly indifferent to that part but this is the underrated MCU movie for sure.
To be honest I don’t think I would have loved this movie as much if it was done by Edgar Wright in his version of the movie Luis wouldn’t have been a character and he’s by far the best character in this movie
Antman is the most needed Marvel character. As soon as everyone else is conquered by the villain. Antman always has an answer. He's what Wolverine means to the X-men. His team alone including the Ants are the Avengers.
Although I actually prefer Ant-Man & The Wasp (2018), I definitely agree with this video. Also I’m surprised to see Quantumania getting worse reviews than the first 2
@@FilmSpeakhave to agree with you on that people make it out to be painful to watch and that’s just so stupid, ya it can have some pretty bad moments but it can also be pretty funny at times too definitely not painful
Sure! Let’s start with the video I just put out on Knock at the Cabin! Cherry, Crash, The Village, Emancipation, Smile, White Noise, Bodies Bodies Bodies, X-Men: The Last Stand, The Man With The Golden Gun, The Black Phone, Lightyear, Spiderhead, The Lost City, Ghostbusters, Red Dragon, The Adam Project, Captain Marvel, Iron Man 2, Thor Ragnarok, The Force Awakens, Far From Home, The French Dispatch, Spider-Man 3, Space Jam… I mean I could go on but you get the point.
@@FilmSpeak Lol bro just snuck in a few honest auteur attempts with superhero slop. Ok how about this. How is Captain Marvel NOT a masterpiece as supposed to Antman which purportedly is ?
@@akheelwaridh7488 I watch A LOT of auteur cinema. I also watch superhero films 🤷🏼♂️ I literally just rattled off shit that came to mind. He said name 10 movies, I did and then some. Not sure what your angle is here.
I feel like I was one of the very few who legitimately liked this movie when it first came out, the only thing that's still a little iffy is Darron Cross but everything else is still great
Ant Man IS great and under rated I saw it twice in the theater when I was having a Really Hard time and I forgot my troubles for two hours while being entertained, moved, and amused. All the comedy films in the MCU (Ant Man, Ragnorak, and Guardians are a breath of fresh are. And Each by a notoriously creative and unique director. (Ed Wright, Tiko...can't spell...Watiti?, and James Gunn.) Along with The Winter Soldier, Infinity War and End Game this is Marvel movie making at it's best 😃😇🥰
Not really relevant but i really love the suit in this movie it improves on the really goofy comic suit while still doing it justice and I like how the helmet looks like an ant.
I really liked the first Ant-Man movie. Why can we not get more Iron Man, Spider-Man Homecoming and Ant-Man, and much less Multiverse, End Game and the World ending?
🌟Thank you, thank you, thank you... Finally someone does justice!!! Ant- Man is my favourite Marvel hero and Paul Rudd as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man, is just brilliant and marvelous...I dove into the Marvel world again after of soooo many years only for him. I haven't seen any other movie except the ones with Paul in them. I don't care about the others. Back to my beloved Ant-man. 🌟Scott is just the guy of the next door. He did something against the law and paid his dues. So, out of prison and finally free, he plans to win his life and his daughter's love back. He wants to be part of her life but in the meantime he finds some obstacles. Life keeps giving him lemons...He loses his job, his ex wife won't let him see his daughter until he pays for child support and finds a permanent job and lastly, he falls into a very dangerous trap which for better or worse will change his life forever. But he also finds love in Hope's eyes who's a hard nut to crack at least for a while...(Seriously Hope, how cannot fall in love with such a wholesome man with killer abs! Are you crazy???)😊😉❤ 🌟Scott is ready to lose everything for his daughter, even his life if necessary...he jumps into it without second thought. And he proves that when he tells Hope that he's expendable and in the end where he goes subatomic to save his daughter from Darren! That word though, "expendable"...such a powerful and spine chilling word itself, yet he says it so naturally as if it doesn't mean anything, for me it's like a knife cutting through my chest...🔪🫀 But for Cassie he will do anything, whatever it takes to make her happy. He just wants to be a worthy father and the hero she already thinks he is. That he's not the bad person everyone tells her. He loves unconditionally and expects nothing in return... Such a beautiful soul and carrying person he is. 💛 Ugh, these scenes of Scott and Cassie especially in the second movie are so touching, sweet and heartwarming...I just can't take it when in the attic a vulnerable and broken Scott opens his heart to his little daughter letting all his emotions flow...blaming himself for everything that happens and how his actions affects everyone around and mostly her. And later when Cassie tells him that what he needs is just someone to have his back and she would be a great partner to him... Cassie is an angel, just like her dad. 😭😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰 And I won't talk about the scene from their encounter after 5 years...Hands down the best moment from the movie ever... Paul and Emma teach some serious and high class acting there...My respect and admiration to both 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡 🌟What drives me mad, is in the "Endgame" Scott isn't taken so seriously nor given the credits he deserves by the audience when it is because of him and HIS BRILLIANT IDEA of the time travelling to bring everyone back... Seriously what the hell! For five years the Avengers had been doing absolutely nothing but accepting their failure and succumb to it. Then Scott comes and changes everything! Give him some respect for fs! OH, how I love the fact that in reality Scott only cares for Hope and how to bring her back and then the others... Love comes first darlings...!! ❤ 🌟Scott Lang aka Paul Rudd is the fresh air of the Marvel universe... And I don't give a damn about what they say...Quantumania is an awesome movie... Pity for their little empty brain for being absolute clueless🧠🤷... Not my fault that they're too idiots to not understand the movie.🤭🤣😛😈 For me all the Ant-Man trilogy is 10/10 👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥 Paul Stephen Rudd, you're a national treasure, sir...Thank you for everything!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know I'm in the minority in this but it's crazy to me that a lot of people want to go back to isolated story telling. It's outdated, it's outplayed and we have progressed passed that as a society. I want my stories to matter in an overall arc of something bigger. Our real world lives work that way, why not watch movies in this way. Marvel just hasn't figured out the right formula for this yet but they will. I have faith. I really like quantummania. I'm just wanting the majority love back on marvel. But I don't think it will ever get that way again, people love this isolated story telling and I think it's just rooted in nostalgia. Which I'm like, move on, there are those of us that don't want that anymore. Every movie that comes out today is isolated story telling. Let us have this in the marvel corner. Theres no other franchise that's doing what marvel is doing, chill out and give them time to figure it out.
Ant man gets the most disrespect on the mcu imo, all his movies are made to set up the next avengers film, I wish ant man 3 was a fun small stakes movie and not a set up, most things that happen don’t affect Scott and more effect the avengers, most phase 4 movies are trying to have big stakes, and I know the shows are for smaller stake stuff but it would be a breath of fresh air if the first mcu movie of a phase wasn’t just using the villain of the phase
Wait you were Men VS Movies?!? My friend told me to check out Men VS Movies when I was in 8th grade. I thought it was an actual movie title that was a movie that was cringe at the time. Now I feel like I feel like an idiot.
I had to go back and watch the first Ant-Man movie after the trash can of Quantumania.... I don't care what anyone says but the first movie was directed fully by Edgar Wright and you can compare the first two movies and Ant-Man and the Wasp doesn't come close. Everything in the first movie has Edgar Wright's feel to it from the instant zooms during shrinking scenes and oh my God can we apreciate how good the CGI was and still remains to this date. Better than anything the last two movies of the trilogy had. And I'm sorry but Peyton Reed doesn't work as a Superheroe movie director he lacks creativity and is an aweful director in my own personal opinion! AND THEY WANTED HIM AS THE NEW FANTASTIC FOUR MOVIE DIRECTOR?!?! PLEASE..... Edgar had a vision and I wish Marvel and Kevin Feige would have let him do "HIS OWN THING" with the character but noooooo, they wanted to connect it to the larger MCU and Edgar just wanted to make a personal story for Scott Lang. Glad to see it biting back marvel in the azz after the bad box office for Quantutrashia.... ugh that movie was the final nail in the coffin for me on being there for Marvel on day one. Last but not least that new actress who plays Cassie is really, REALLY BAD!!!! That actress who played Cassie in Endgame did 100× times a better job playing Cassie in the full 2 minutes of screentime she had in that movie. This new actress can't deliver her lines in a believable way, it felt like she was thinking "Anyway, atleast I'm getting paid and I'm in a Marvel movie so woo hoo" while she was being directed by Reed.... And to think that I was excited for that future Young Avengers movie but after seeing her not even trying in this movie, I say.. NO THANK YOU
Meh. The most forgettable MCU films. And Rudd never felt well integrated into the MCU. It kinda just feels like...they stuck Paul Rudd into the MCU as Paul Rudd.

It was fresh! Truly standalone with great characters.
Can you name me 10 movies you don't think are perfect, a masterpiece, etc.?
Sure! Let’s start with the video I just put out on Knock at the Cabin!
Cherry, Crash, The Village, Emancipation, Smile, White Noise, Bodies Bodies Bodies, X-Men: The Last Stand, The Man With The Golden Gun, The Black Phone, Lightyear, Spiderhead, The Lost City, Ghostbusters, Red Dragon, The Adam Project, Captain Marvel, Iron Man 2, Thor Ragnarok, The Force Awakens, Far From Home, The French Dispatch, Spider-Man 3, Space Jam…
I mean I could go on but you get the point.
@@FilmSpeak Lol bro just snuck in a few honest auteur attempts with superhero slop.
Ok how about this. How is Captain Marvel NOT a masterpiece as supposed to Antman which purportedly is ?
@@akheelwaridh7488 I watch A LOT of auteur cinema. I also watch superhero films 🤷🏼♂️ I literally just rattled off shit that came to mind. He said name 10 movies, I did and then some. Not sure what your angle is here.
Brilliant video.. Now I need to go an see it again, thanks 🙂
Time to rewatch Ant-Man!
I feel like I was one of the very few who legitimately liked this movie when it first came out, the only thing that's still a little iffy is Darron Cross but everything else is still great
It’s odd because if you look at the ratings… this movie has always been pretty critically successful.
@@SDfan2002 from my memory at the time of it coming out the reception towards it was a little mixed it just didn’t pop up in the reviewer scores
Ant Man IS great and under rated
I saw it twice in the theater when I was having a Really Hard time and I forgot my troubles for two hours while being entertained, moved, and amused.
All the comedy films in the MCU (Ant Man, Ragnorak, and Guardians are a breath of fresh are. And Each by a notoriously creative and unique director.
(Ed Wright, Tiko...can't spell...Watiti?, and James Gunn.)
Along with The Winter Soldier, Infinity War and End Game this is Marvel movie making at it's best 😃😇🥰
I love this movie too. 😊♥️
Edgar wright needs to direct a marvel film to completion,man's an actual artist 🤌
Not really relevant but i really love the suit in this movie it improves on the really goofy comic suit while still doing it justice and I like how the helmet looks like an ant.
First marvel movie i saw, loved the family undertone, and congrats man the long way you came
Loved all the ant-man movies, great analysis of the first one, would love to see one about the second one!
I personally like the original ant man movie it was really awesome and tons of fun
Absolutely loved the video! I do have a question. Is Ant Man your fav MCU film?? If not, then which one is it???
Been saying this for years ant man is the best mcu movie
I wished it's sequels had the same tone of the first film
Honestly the Antman movies hit the theme of power&responsibility& consequences better than those iron spider movies
I really liked the first Ant-Man movie. Why can we not get more Iron Man, Spider-Man Homecoming and Ant-Man, and much less Multiverse, End Game and the World ending?
Antman 3 ruled
Yeah i agree dont know what all the hate is about. I enjoyed the movie very very much
Sou muito fã de Ant man, Scott Lang é um heroi muito parecido com todos nós, normal people
Can’t Wait For Kang Dynasty
🌟Thank you, thank you, thank you... Finally someone does justice!!! Ant- Man is my favourite Marvel hero and Paul Rudd as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man, is just brilliant and marvelous...I dove into the Marvel world again after of soooo many years only for him. I haven't seen any other movie except the ones with Paul in them. I don't care about the others.
Back to my beloved Ant-man.
🌟Scott is just the guy of the next door. He did something against the law and paid his dues. So, out of prison and finally free, he plans to win his life and his daughter's love back. He wants to be part of her life but in the meantime he finds some obstacles. Life keeps giving him lemons...He loses his job, his ex wife won't let him see his daughter until he pays for child support and finds a permanent job and lastly, he falls into a very dangerous trap which for better or worse will change his life forever.
But he also finds love in Hope's eyes who's a hard nut to crack at least for a while...(Seriously Hope, how cannot fall in love with such a wholesome man with killer abs! Are you crazy???)😊😉❤
🌟Scott is ready to lose everything for his daughter, even his life if necessary...he jumps into it without second thought. And he proves that when he tells Hope that he's expendable and in the end where he goes subatomic to save his daughter from Darren! That word though, "expendable"...such a powerful and spine chilling word itself, yet he says it so naturally as if it doesn't mean anything, for me it's like a knife cutting through my chest...🔪🫀 But for Cassie he will do anything, whatever it takes to make her happy. He just wants to be a worthy father and the hero she already thinks he is. That he's not the bad person everyone tells her.
He loves unconditionally and expects nothing in return... Such a beautiful soul and carrying person he is. 💛 Ugh, these scenes of Scott and Cassie especially in the second movie are so touching, sweet and heartwarming...I just can't take it when in the attic a vulnerable and broken Scott opens his heart to his little daughter letting all his emotions flow...blaming himself for everything that happens and how his actions affects everyone around and mostly her. And later when Cassie tells him that what he needs is just someone to have his back and she would be a great partner to him... Cassie is an angel, just like her dad. 😭😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰
And I won't talk about the scene from their encounter after 5 years...Hands down the best moment from the movie ever... Paul and Emma teach some serious and high class acting there...My respect and admiration to both 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
🌟What drives me mad, is in the "Endgame" Scott isn't taken so seriously nor given the credits he deserves by the audience when it is because of him and HIS BRILLIANT IDEA of the time travelling to bring everyone back... Seriously what the hell! For five years the Avengers had been doing absolutely nothing but accepting their failure and succumb to it. Then Scott comes and changes everything! Give him some respect for fs!
OH, how I love the fact that in reality Scott only cares for Hope and how to bring her back and then the others... Love comes first darlings...!! ❤
🌟Scott Lang aka Paul Rudd is the fresh air of the Marvel universe... And I don't give a damn about what they say...Quantumania is an awesome movie... Pity for their little empty brain for being absolute clueless🧠🤷... Not my fault that they're too idiots to not understand the movie.🤭🤣😛😈
For me all the Ant-Man trilogy is 10/10 👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥
Paul Stephen Rudd, you're a national treasure, sir...Thank you for everything!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love your videos and breakdown style but wish you would cutback on the swear words. Besides that, excellent though. Keep up the great work!
The heart of the MCU is the GOTG movies. Antman 1 only had its moments from Edgar Wright's leftovers.
It's my favorite mcu movie hot take
Great movie, but they dropped the ball on Ant man and Wasp. Villain not good story was just ok
I know I'm in the minority in this but it's crazy to me that a lot of people want to go back to isolated story telling. It's outdated, it's outplayed and we have progressed passed that as a society. I want my stories to matter in an overall arc of something bigger. Our real world lives work that way, why not watch movies in this way. Marvel just hasn't figured out the right formula for this yet but they will. I have faith. I really like quantummania. I'm just wanting the majority love back on marvel. But I don't think it will ever get that way again, people love this isolated story telling and I think it's just rooted in nostalgia. Which I'm like, move on, there are those of us that don't want that anymore. Every movie that comes out today is isolated story telling. Let us have this in the marvel corner. Theres no other franchise that's doing what marvel is doing, chill out and give them time to figure it out.
I concur your thoughts on ant man
Good stuff 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
the only truly funny mcu film ngl I love it
Honestly? Yeah haha I mean I think IM3 is funny too but different kind of humor.
27:29 the falcon fight is one of my top favorite moments in the film if not the favorite. Again, isolated story telling is played out to me.
Ant man gets the most disrespect on the mcu imo, all his movies are made to set up the next avengers film, I wish ant man 3 was a fun small stakes movie and not a set up, most things that happen don’t affect Scott and more effect the avengers, most phase 4 movies are trying to have big stakes, and I know the shows are for smaller stake stuff but it would be a breath of fresh air if the first mcu movie of a phase wasn’t just using the villain of the phase
Wait you were Men VS Movies?!?
My friend told me to check out Men VS Movies when I was in 8th grade. I thought it was an actual movie title that was a movie that was cringe at the time. Now I feel like I feel like an idiot.
19:06 except in the comics he snaps and becomes a woman beater. Yeah, they went a step below the intensity of Hanks personality.
Breath of fresh air to not see a biased take on this movie by some salty snyderverse fanboy trying to shitcan anything marvel puts out.
If ant-man has the same mass (no matter his physical size), then how the heck can he ride an ant?
Magnificent film, I love ant man.
Woot woot! Welcome to the club.
no i loved ant man to
Excelsior
Sucks Micheal Pena isn't in Quantumania.
I had to go back and watch the first Ant-Man movie after the trash can of Quantumania.... I don't care what anyone says but the first movie was directed fully by Edgar Wright and you can compare the first two movies and Ant-Man and the Wasp doesn't come close. Everything in the first movie has Edgar Wright's feel to it from the instant zooms during shrinking scenes and oh my God can we apreciate how good the CGI was and still remains to this date. Better than anything the last two movies of the trilogy had. And I'm sorry but Peyton Reed doesn't work as a Superheroe movie director he lacks creativity and is an aweful director in my own personal opinion! AND THEY WANTED HIM AS THE NEW FANTASTIC FOUR MOVIE DIRECTOR?!?! PLEASE..... Edgar had a vision and I wish Marvel and Kevin Feige would have let him do "HIS OWN THING" with the character but noooooo, they wanted to connect it to the larger MCU and Edgar just wanted to make a personal story for Scott Lang. Glad to see it biting back marvel in the azz after the bad box office for Quantutrashia.... ugh that movie was the final nail in the coffin for me on being there for Marvel on day one. Last but not least that new actress who plays Cassie is really, REALLY BAD!!!! That actress who played Cassie in Endgame did 100× times a better job playing Cassie in the full 2 minutes of screentime she had in that movie. This new actress can't deliver her lines in a believable way, it felt like she was thinking "Anyway, atleast I'm getting paid and I'm in a Marvel movie so woo hoo" while she was being directed by Reed.... And to think that I was excited for that future Young Avengers movie but after seeing her not even trying in this movie, I say.. NO THANK YOU
Perfect is a bit of a reach?
💕PRudd
1 was 9/10
2 was 7/10
3 was 🤮2/10!tbh
Probably the worst mcu movie I’ve seen imo
3rd is better than 2nd
Fun? Deng.
Meh. The most forgettable MCU films. And Rudd never felt well integrated into the MCU. It kinda just feels like...they stuck Paul Rudd into the MCU as Paul Rudd.
A shame. Rudd was perfect, it's just that Scott Lang needed lots of work in the writing.
