They are basically parodies of the superhero genre.
Ant man is meant to be serious with some light hearted humor sprinkled in.
I didn't think Ant Man was great. That was my point.
I guess it's like every great white hope wide receiver in Chiefs history. It's meh at best but somebody's going to do their best to convince me it's awesome. Marc Boerigter in movie form.
It wasn't bad there just wasn't anything to it aside from visuals. Basic plot, flat jokes, no emotional stakes, nothing. It's not some palate cleanser post-Avengers, it's just the lamest Marvel movie from the last several years. I'd put it about on par with Thor 2 or Iron Man 3. It's a disappointment to me after Black Panther and Ragnarok.
But it's not bad, per se. Just not especially good. [Reply]

there were a lot of laughs from the audience all through the movie in the theatre when I saw this movie. [Reply]
Solid flick. I liked the first one better but it's hard for sequels to top originals. (Same went for "Deadpool 2".) As for the post-credits scene, we all assume that has something to do with "Infinity War 2" in terms of how they get out of the hole they've dug by killing half the population, and it's a good assumption given that IMDB lists three of the "Ant Man" cast as being in the next film.

Great CGI and action scenes, good acting, horrible comedy.
That's not good. Actually, that's kind of the exact opposite of what I'd expect after Paul Rudd #1.
Man your friends just might be no fun. I don't see how you come out of the movie saying a lot of bad stuff about it. Not saying it was the greatest or anything, but it was an enjoyable movie, good action, good acting and characters, and enough humor to keep it light. I wouldn't let a few sour pusses keep you from it, if you like Marvel movies in general, you will very likely enjoy this one as well. And it ends with a bang in the mid-credit scene. [Reply]
Saw it yesterday. Thought it was great. Ant Man is a much needed palette cleanser after the darkness of a lot of the other MCU movies recently (credits scene notwithstanding). [Reply]
