You're entitled to your opinion, I thought it was very fun and a pretty ballsy move. From the perspective of an adaptation I see where some might be disappointed, but it was a genuinely great movie on most accounts.
First look at Edgar Wright's ANT-MAN

Stephen!!
Funnily Joe talked about writing this way back in 2007 on one of the first 6music shows.
I have faith this movie will be amazing. However it is a little strange if a choice. Most of my friends laugh at the mention of a hero called Ant-man. Think it's an uphill marketing battle.

He's an original avenger.
Well the movie just wasn't funny to me at all, the jokes didn't really translate well from the comics IMO. Why they cast Michael Cera as Scott I'll never know and wtf was up with his hair?
What, Scott Pilgrim was the 1st BluRay I ever bought, because I thought it was so good. But I also thought 21 Jump Street was funny too. Just different strokes for different folks.

I guess the wife beating will be more British off-beat humour styled.
Or 60's sitcom style, "BANG! ZOOM! Straight to the moon!"
Honestly, ANTMAN was pretty cool until Ultimate universe shall all over it.

I read the comics before the movie came out and the things they cut were kind of expected (Mr. Chau and Scott's past) and I was okay without. I even liked the encounter with the twins more in the movie than in the comic. The BotB fight was quite awesome.
There isyour problem
Uh, he's pretty god damned far from the bottom of the barrel.
Just because you don't know comic characters outside of the super popular pop culture heroes and villains doesn't mean they're unknown.

I liked the teaser reel of this. Love most anything Wright has done except for Scott Pilgrim. I really liked the comics but if you condense it into a 90 minute film it's just an obnoxious mess and cast completely wrong and all fronts. Will be interesting to see who gets Pym-ed.
No doubt this has already been courted but it might be interesting if Pegg got the part - it would be both way out there and Wright's safe choice mind but it could fill the Downey hole when the day comes when he's had enough money.

If it wasn't Edgar Wright I'd side with the second half of your statement, but I wholly believe in Edgar Wright.

Just need to make sure but this is coming out before Age of Ultron right ?

With Ant-Man being that close to Avengers I have to believe that Ant-Man will still have some role in Avengers.
I don't understand the Cera hate as Scott Pilgrim. That was a great movie all around, and I no problems with Cera at all.
I have no frame of reference for Ant-Man, so I can't say if he would be a good fit for the Pym character or not, but it sounds like your just hating on Cera because he is Cera.
YES !
Now just hope that NOTHING of ultimate ant-man touches the script
Human Torch is Captain America =P

Amen to this. Fuck ultimates.
Cera is kind of a dopey-looking guy and generally sells the dopey act. That's not Pym at all. I can't imagine Cera was ever considered for the role.

A good movie will sell, it may not be the 1 billion dollar blockbuster they want, but good word of mouth will keep it selling

Yes it's a problem - should come out before Ultron
He doesn't have to be. Maybe a cameo and or a lead in end credit teaser, like they did with Thor and Cap when they were in the same summer.

I didn't really like Scott Pilgrim at all. I see why people do love it, but I just wasn't a fan. I did love Wright's other flicks. I'm pretty amped about Ant-Man though. It'll probably be hilariously fun.
Has there been confirmation as to whether we're going with Pym or Lang? I remember some rumors that it'd have both, with Pym in the 60s and Lang rediscovering (ie stealing) his suit in the present day.

No. He's not creating Ultron.

Wat.
Even if you disliked Cera and MEW, the casting for the exes and Sex bob-omb was perfection.

Wait, Avengers 2 is about Ultron? I thought Thanos will be the main villain, as the end of first movie suggested.

The subtitle is Age of Ultron. Thanos will come later. I guess.
Doesn't help that they've changed his name...now many times?

Awesome, is it wrong that I am 10x more excited about this than the next Avengers after seeing these gifs? :S
I am getting bored with Marvel superhero movies now, hoping for more story and unique action sequences with Ant Man.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Wasp, please.
Marvel don't have Wolverine and Spider-Man ... so now Stark is the main character of the Marvel Cinematic Universe =P

i wonder if spider man/wolverine would of hypothetically becme the main characters if marvel owned them
That's not a bad idea
If not main characters than Hugh Jackman would be working in MUCH more movies xD
