    I am annoyed by this mentality of people nowadays that call every marvel female character "great female roles" just because they are presented as the "bad ass" as if only those type of roles were the good female roles, c'mon. A great female role can be anything or about anyone not just the bad ass.

    • @boogaloo903

      Enrique Godinez I didn't like the female character in this movie. Think she needed more character development other than "my mom 'died' when I was 7 and daddy didn't give me attention". Can we not have the parent issues for every character? I know it's based off of comics but still it gets old real fast

    • @ICavalcadeI
      @ICavalcadeI 9 лет назад

      Enrique Godinez THANK YOU. It's like the only way for a female role to be "good" is if they effectively write a role for a man and cast a woman instead. I remember Alonso said he didn't like the fact that 3 out of 4 women in the Jurassic World movie were crying - as if that somehow automatically makes them a bad character and negates everything else they do in the movie. I think the notion that the female "badass" is the only way a woman can be well-written is in itself a misogynistic way of thinking.

      Don Quixote
      Exactly! Is the same when a female character likes girly things people automatically make that as something "weak" oh no she has to be masculine and beat the shit out of everyone, sigh.

    • @ClydeNut
      @ClydeNut 9 лет назад

      +Don Quixote you completely missed Alonso's point on Jurassic World, when there's only 4 female characters in your movie and all of them are portrayed as weak and fragile while all the men are portrayed as emotionally stable and perfectly capable, that's a problem and it's borderline sexist. if you don't like hearing it then tough shit, it's the truth.

    • @ICavalcadeI
      @ICavalcadeI 9 лет назад

      FriedEagleMind That's what I'm calling sexist. Just because they cried doesn't mean they're emotionally unstable, nor does it make them weak. And like I said, it doesn't negate any of the other things they do in the movie. If you hadn't noticed, Bryce Dallas Howard played a pretty fucking integral and pivotal role in the movie. She's not a soldier, so I don't know why it's so terrible that she cried once.

    This was one of marvels better movies. the jokes are actually funny and don't feel forced. Also the action and special effects are very creative and fun. I actually left the theater happy. I enjoyed this much more than iron man 3, thor 2, and avengers 2.

    • @awsumpossum1
      @awsumpossum1 9 лет назад

      @TAEHSAEN 9 лет назад

      You don't watch a lot of movies do you? This movie was mind numbingly mediocre. NOTHING about it was unique. Literally every single thing that happens in this movie has been borrowed from some other Marvel movie or the other. There was 0 innovation in this movie. They made a shit movie to squeeze out the cash from daft fanboys like you. Wasted my money on this.

    Well....that's a bummer.
    I'm feeling like Marvel is losing some steam, especially now that DC has absolutely blown people away with the one-two punch of the Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad trailers, which were both INCREDIBLE.
    Even Avengers 2 slightly underperformed...I know, I know, it's ridiculous to call $470 million domestic/$1.4 billion worldwide disappointing, but based on predictions, it DID underperform. And now Ant-Man might be the first Marvel movie to NOT debut at #1 with Minions still going strong into the weekend.
    I'm hoping Marvel isn't losing its mojo, because I'm still a big fan, but it's starting feel like fatigue is setting in.
    Oh, and Marvel NEEDS to do something about its weak-ass villains. Aside from Loki, and maybe Red Skull and the Winter Soldier (who wasn't even the primary villain), there hasn't been one damn memorable villain in all their films.

    78% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Of all the reviews I haven't seen anyone rip the film apart like these guys. But if their taste matches yours then so be it.

      @omarsalkamusic 9 лет назад +3

    • @michaelp8855
      @michaelp8855 9 лет назад +1

    I absolutely agree with this review. It was a fun movie, but it just missed the mark. Some fun parts, but some of the jokes did slightly miss the points and the acting was a little poor at times. But overall it was a fun movie which adds to the MCU. But its definitely no guardians of the galaxy, just not enough character or depth to the movie (6.5/7-10)

    I totally disagree with Alonso. I thought Rudd carried the film quite well, and refreshing to see him play it just a little more straight and was a lot more charismatic with more quippy lines than Pratt in Jurassic Crap. I will agree there are some disjointed and dull moments, but once it started it was just pure enjoyment. I had a lot of fun. 7/10

    I'm like the opposite of you guys - I went into the movie with low expectations (I mean, I didn't think it was going to suck, but I didn't think it was going to be exceptional either), but I was really pleasantly surprised by it. I certainly enjoyed it a lot. I also didn't think the references/cameos to/from other Marvel movies seemed shoehorned in and they didn't take away anything from the movie itself (for me personally).

    • @Kjernekar
      @Kjernekar 9 лет назад

      ***** god forbid they actually experience emotions when watching a movie. Every movie that kids love (if you ask them) is some movie which made them feels different emotions. They aren't idiotic fragile little crybabies. They are OK with being scared sometimes, or shocked. Hell, my favorite movie for ayears (when I was little) was independance day. I had nightmares about that movie (the alien part) many times, but I still loved the hell out of it. If a kid gets scared or tearyeyed, that isn't automatically a bad thing. They have experienced something new, and that's good.
      Stop trying to make your child a sheltered robot.

    • @movieman82us
      @movieman82us 9 лет назад +7

      ThePeteralonzo83 I strongly disagree. I loved her in this movie. I can't remember the last time I disagreed with Alonso more than this movie. I LOVED this movie. It's probably my second favorite of the MCU. Winter Soldier is still my favorite, but this is a close 2nd. Followed by another movie that received a mixed reception, Iron Man 3. But I disagree so much of what Alonso said. I don't think Paul Rudd was bland at all. He was great. Very appealing. Loved Evangeline. Loved her chemistry with both Rudd and Michael Douglas. The scene where she learns the truth about her mother was incredibly moving. I just loved, loved, loved this movie! Really took me by surprise.

    • @Frankiigii
      @Frankiigii 9 лет назад +1

      @sneak2attack 9 лет назад

    @teamkaboozles4910 9 лет назад +1

    It is a unique movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe because it is a heist film and rather small in scale compared to the other entries thus far. But make no mistake this is a Marvel movie. The comedy is perfect in tone with the Marvel cinematic universe. It added elements from the rest of the universe that felt natural because it made sense to the plot. The macro photography and the big action sequences are beautiful. At the core of Ant-Man is a story about families. Scott and Hank trying to reconnect with their daughters. The quiet moments of the characters interacting, especially Scott and Hope in the car, give the movie lots of heart. I do not believe this is another generic run of the mill superhero movie. It will have a special place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now with all that being said there are two glaring issues. One is the villain, Cross could have been a well constructed villain but I don't think he was as fleshed out as he could of been. Also there are some pacing issues throughout the movie. I loved the roller coaster pace that Age of Ultron and Guardians had. Big action and then wind down for intimate moments and rev up again. At times the pacing in Ant-Man felt all over the place. But it is still a great movie and a fitting conclusion to Marvel's Phase 2.
    8/10

    If this film isn't as good as Guardians then there is a real issue here. As far as I'm concerned Guardians was a sub-par film with a good soundtrack, and by soundtrack i mean 1 song, a bit like Frozen.

    1 of the things that draws people to comics, is theres so many to choose from, each with their own tone, characters, themes..ect. This film surprised me, in being a heist film as much as Winter soldier surprised me in being a Political Thriller. Not suprised as in the "unexpected" sense..but in the how well they pulled it off and it fit. I had low hopes for Ant-man going in, but i had a ball.

    The movie doesn´t look good. I´m glad there are many critics who don´t jump into Marvel ass-kissing bandwagon. All those films are average entertainment with basic plots but are being praised by some as if they were Casablanca, Godfather and the likes. I don´t know how some people can give the same rate they give those phenomenal films to these movies.
    At the end of teh day The Dark Knight keeps being the best comic book movie because acting, story, having an own style and even a great score DOES matter.

I assume you're not an idiot, but you do need to have certain expectations of what a film will give you going in. If you compare every film you watch to the best films ever made, I'll tell you you'll be one disappointed movie go-er.

    Fun fact : the stakes in this movie are highter than any other marvel movies besides the avenger and thor 2. People just don't realise how much the world would change with pym particules. Forget soldiers, just shrink robots and you can block cancer propagation. Shrink propulsion systems and you can get to mars in an hour etc etc. It makes Bruce Banner and Tony Stark inventions completly irrelevant. Wich is also why the movie makes no sense in the first place, if anyone in the world invented tech like this, you would be kept under a dungeon until the governement knows everything you know, no matter how rich you are.

    You shouldn't discount Peña's character. He based it on a family member has said that the character is nearly 100% what the dude actually sounds like in real life. The mannerisms, cadence, vocabulary are all taken from a real person. Maybe you shouldn't look at it as a shtick and it will have a better impact on you. It sounds like you're allowing preconceptions to cloud the performance.

    I realize it's natural to compare this other comic book flicks of recent years, but I honestly kind of think that's a bit unfair. This wasn't meant to be a film on the same scale as the Avengers for example. Ant-Man in the comics wasn't on that same level so why would we expect the movie to be on that same level? Having said that, it was a good flick, I had fun and the comedy worked for me. It's ok to have a lighted hearted comic book flick every now and then.

It's bizarre to me because other art forms do not seem to have this amount of people that have never done it criticizing it as a profession. Maybe I'm wrong on that but it would pain me to see 4 people criticizing a painting if none of them knew how to paint.

    I'm no expert, but, to me, this is my 3rd favorite Marvel movie, The Winter Soldier being #1. It was fun and funny. I agree that there was an issue with pacing, and the first act was a bit slow. However, I left the cinema feeling satisfied. It was smart and funny. The smaller scale in both hero and impact to the Marvel universe is refreshing to me. Bad pun, I know. The villain seemed more 3 dimensional to me than in other Marvel movies, too. But, what do I know? A 5? No way.

Their thoughts/review lead to a specific rating. If I've watched several of their videos and don't agree on what they say, I'm now to the point where I just see their scores to see if I want to spend 13 minutes of my time watching the whole thing.

    You guys take yourselves too seriously. This was the most enjoyable movie I've seen all year -- and I think Ant-man is a terrible superhero -- the only wife-beating superhero. I don't like him. But the movie was good. I poo pooed this movie all year. I wondered why Marvel was bothering to make it. In the end, I was proven wrong. I loved the movie, my wife loved the movie, and at the end, the audience APPLAUDED.
    APPLAUDED! That's rare these days.
    This is the second review in a row that you went 90% negative on. I'm finding that uninteresting. I like the way you guys dissect Game of thrones and Walking dead, but you're not good reviewers. A good reviewer doesn't tell me what he or she likes. They make general recommendations for a range of people. Siskel and Ebert didn't like Rambo II, but they said it was the best thing out that week, You might like it. They didn't trash it while it was laying. It seems these days that reviewers are merely setting themselves up as not being taken in by fluff as a sort of proving their bona fides to other reviewers. It might make you feel better, but it doesn't inform me.

  • @AndyWenmanMusicVideo

    I agree that they needed a more talented actress for Pyms daughter. Evangeline Lilly was way out of her depth, would have been great if they'd gotten someone with comedic chops too, like Lauren Lapkus or someone like that.
    Also the movie seemed to be trying really hard to be funny and landed a few gags, but it was the actors working reaklly hard to sell the average jokes that made that happen. The script itself did not contain much humour. Rudd should be commended for his ability to make a lot of average stuff land.
    Ultimately I liked what kind of movie it was trying to be, but think it didn't quite landed.
