Saw it last night in IMAX 3D. Definitely the funniest Marvel movie so far, once the jokes started rolling I couldn't stop laughing. The visuals are totally unique and creative, and there's one particular scene that uses 3D in the most convincing way I've ever seen, even though I don't normally like seeing movies in 3D. It's one of the best ones, no doubt.

Micheal Pena's flashbacks had me ROLLING.
The edits and cuts to each person just added to the hilarity.

So, without spoilers, will I understand both credits scenes knowing that I've seen all the other MCU movies? Or are they super obscure comic things?
Yes.
You'd have to literally, and I do mean LITERALLY, have fallen asleep watching the MCU not to get the references.

Awwsome. Thanks guys. I'm hoping to talk my friends into seeing this tonight. I've been hyped for this one for a while. Thrilled to hear so many positive reactions.
LOVED IT. It was very funny (and good funny, not IM3 funny). I thought after Edgar left things wouldn't be as good as I hoped but it was awesome.
Paul Rudd really did good on this one. Luis was indeed a scene stealer and a big part of the movie, the Stan Lee cameo was amazing.

It really sounds like Michael Peña steals the show every time he opens his mouth.
One of the better parts of the movie. His stuff was usually hilarious. Surprised the hell out of me.
Hell yeah he does.
... How many times DO you have to hit your wife before you're allowed to call them a wife beater?
Anyway, that was ages ago, but fair or not it's what people remember. It was one of the lowest moments of any superhero and it wasn't something Pym pulled himself out of until years and years later... kinda. Barely.
... Scott Lang is a better Ant-Man, by far.
Anyway, seeing the film later tonight!

I've really never been able to warm up to Scott in the books until the most recent run.
Cassie was always the best thing about him to me. Rudd was a good pick for sure though.
It crazy how good this film turned out, considering its troubled production history. If you told someone several months ago that Ant-Man would be a better film than Age of Ultron they'd think you were insane.
Thor 2 is better than AoU.

I'd like to hear your argument for this one
I feel like AoU is getting the DKR treatment on gaf without ever going through a honeymoon period

AoU was pretty good and definitely better than the first Avengers. Thor 2 was better than the first Thor, but not better than AoU.

It's ridiculous. I found it a much more rounded experience than the 1st. People clutch with straws at the damn thing.

No, this is wrong. Very wrong. Dark World is the weakest of all the MCU films.

Wisecracking James Spader > Deadpan Christopher Eccleston phoning it in to pay for a new dining room.
I don't care if his supposedly great character building scenes were cut. Guy straight up doesn't give a fuck when he's in movies like this.

I loved the film! I'd also recommend seeing it in 3D because it adds a lot to the already cool effects. I normally don't like 3D and have avoided them for years but glad I went for it this time.

Is that good?
Saw it, loved it. Michael Pena is destined to make cameo appearances in every single MCU movie from now on, but Douglas is the one who holds the film together - the definition of perfect casting. Looking forward to having Rudd play off everyone else in Civil War.
Weirdly, after all the speculation, it's surprisingly easy to spot what made Edgar Wright leave production.
If you're on the fence, I highly recommend it. It takes its time getting going, but once it does it doesn't let up.

Lower than the last few MCU movies, but I think that was expected.

I reiterate what I thought on the mexican guy - annoying outside of his "tips". When he's in "tips" mode he becomes like a god.
Really? funnier than GOTG?
I have a hard time believing this
Seeing it tonight, so we'll see

When I showed my students GOTG they didn't laugh once. It physically hurt me
Nothing is more awkward than watching a comedy where no one laughs.
Dammit.

They probably like Minions lol
I found GOTG super funny, it's by far my favorite MCU movie

When Star-Lord started dancing around the cave (one of my favorite movie openings of all time) and they were completely straight-faced I knew I was in for a rough ride...

Ehh, while I like GotG the humor does feel a bit off when it tries "human" humor on aliens. It mixes well more in Ant-Man.
Basically. Dude is funny as hell.

Yeah, the "aliens don't understand human analogies/terms" thing got a little old. You think 20 years in space would have taught him that.
Spent 10 minutes fruitlessly searching for a good Michael Pena gif. My google-fu has failed me

I did. Watch it 2 times with different group telling the second group that the movie is awesome. They love it very much
Nah, Marvel's not paying me enough to do their job for them.
