Going in expecting a movie better than AoU. I don't think I'll be disappointed.

I don't care about RT scores tbh, Marvel movies are always fun to watch and I'm definitely watching this with a few work buddies. I hoping it is at least as fun as GotG for me, doubt it but still, can't wait till next week!
AoU wasn't even a bad movie. Disappointing sure, but not bad.
That got me excited. I love Michael Pena.
Beat me to it, that review is summed up as "Wright should've stayed."
I'd say it is a bad movie. It's got some good scenes in there, but the movie overall was a complete mess of bad plotting, throw away moments, unclear motivations, and plenty of cribbing to create similar scenes from previous Marvel movies. It lacks a coherent structure, and I found myself completely indifferent to the climax. It had great characters, and mostly failed to do anything worthwhile with them. Hawkeye was the sole standout for me.

I love Pokken!
They already did. It's called Iron Man 2

They weren't reviewing whether the movie was going to make massive coin though.
edit: also, Quick's OP is fuckin amazing.
Pretty much IM2 is still the worst MCU movie. A waste of time for everyone involved.

Thor: The Dark World has to be up there, right? I dislike that movie even more than IM2.

The age of Marvel is done
Atleast there was kind of a point to Thor 2. Sort of. IM2 just meanders for a long-ass time then the villain phones Tony and says "OH HEY I'M STILL ALIVE!" "Uh.... okay. Um. Do we fight?"

Age of Apocalypse, perhaps?

Absolutely. Reviewers that devolve into gossip mongering are not worth their salt. The final product should be judged on its own.

I think big swathes of the third act are Reed's ideas.
Apparently it's awesome stuff though.
So who knows.

It was much better than the first. I don't know if I could watch it again though due to that ending. Sniff.
IMO it's The Incredible Hulk.
Least memorable as well with not much going for it besides some things like the action.
As of this moment, I wouldn't even say it is just disappointing but also a bad film. Or it may be hyperbole on my part, but it just had so many flawd and wasted opportunity. It might grow with me with rewatches and whatnot.
Anyway, Ant-Man will probably end up at around 70%. I wouldn't call that a stinker or a bomb. Let us see how much it earns on the Box Office worldwide.

Think a lot of people are gunning for this film to be "bad" 'cause Marvel's been on top for a while and folks wanna see them fall.
I'm watching it next week - should be a fun, breezy movie from the look of things, and I can't imagine that it'll be worse than Thor: The Dark World (which was still an okay movie, just extra formulaic).

TDW at least had the amusement of seeing my local area of Greenwich getting messed up. And of course Loki pretty much saved that movie.
I actually loved The Incredible Hulk.
Man, Thor: The Dark World.
I kind of enjoyed that movie but it still boggles the brain that Alan Taylor would go from making that movie to making Terminator Genisys. I mean... what the fuck happened there?
It made me realize that maybe Marvel's way of executive meddling is actually making bad directors look better rather than the other way around.

i was expecting absolute garbage with wright being replaced. sounds like some of his shit is intact though (some of the action and jokes) and i'm liking what I'm hearing about the third act being a drop in scale. that was a big complaint i've had with marvel movies (even the good ones like winter soldier and gotg suffered from the same bland third act battle)
the fact that this strays away from that makes it worth watching imo.
i suspect i'll enjoy this more than the avengers movies at least.

Hot Toys figures.
Even though TWS had the large scale third act, I like that we still got a lot of hand-to-hand combat and shootouts.

Clearly the best parts are from Wright and the worst ones are from Reed, how could be otherwise?

Looks like it's reviewing as expected. I'm looking forward to it and the third act sounds like a nice change.
Ant-Man Pratt looks ready.

Peyton Reed's enthusiasm really got me hyped as well. He's so giddy about finally doing a film like this.
Also, his contribution to the film (it's a spoiler if I tell) leads to some amazing stuff.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Marvel just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Thanos culture (I'm an expert), but RT and MC scores are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in Knowhere where you can become successful by being an a******. If you screw someone over in Earth, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is a shit ton of marketing.
What this means is the Marvel public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to see Civil War or Spider-Man, nor will they purchase any of Marvel's merchandise. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Marvel has alienated an entire market with Ant-Man.
Marvel, publicly apologize to Edgar Wright and cancel GOTG2 and Inhumans or you can kiss your business goodbye.
