Yo man post some Doom GIFs from EMH too~
I thought it (the classic body) worked pretty well in his last sceneSpader was excellent, but I wish they hadn't animated the lips. I think a rigid, grinning robot skull out of which a normal voice is projected would be much more interesting.

I'm still so sad that they had tons of gaping maw designs and they decided to go with the emotive face all the way through the movie.Yeah even in a smaller frame it was much more intimidating than the highly-emotive Ultron face.
I didn't hate the human-like face, but I wanted his "ultimate" form to be the classic gaping maw. He had given up on humanity at that point, made little sense for him to still want a human face.

Just got back from this. While it continues Marvel's trend of forgettable cookie cutter villains, I absolutely loved the action sequences. The final fight was the highlight of the film for me, and I usually switch off during Marvel fight sequences. Great movie.
I was worried at first because the dialogue at the beginning was so clunky as was the exposition, it just seemed like awful writing. After that though it really did pick up, whilst I think it wasn't as funny as Guardians I definitely think the tone of the film was more that of a comedy film than Guardians.
The audience I was with were great and there were some huge laughs at scenes like the 'back it up' and the Thomas crash (which I had ruined for me by the trailers) so the atmosphere was great. The shrinking stuff was brilliantly done and the microverse was a lot of fun, I loved the 2001 homage when he was initially shrinking, it looked phenomenal.
This film is really suffering from people saying it's stupid without seeing it though. I've mentioned that I saw it several times and either get 'I've heard it's really good' or 'it looks stupid' so the word of mouth is great but people chatting utter bollocks without seeing it could be it's undoing. I was also surprised with the amount of very young children in the theater given the tone the films have taken, I do wonder if many parents were shocked by the bad language and the very grotesque deaths. I did also wonder this for the 'fuck off' in DOFP but who knows. The audiences for the Marvel films that I've seen sans Age of Ultron have all been mostly late teens and twenties but I think the juvenile name of Ant-Man has given it a perception that it doesn't necessarily bear out.
Anyway, in the grand Marvel scheme I will give my placement:
Great:
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Winter Soldier
Avengers
Iron Man
Good:
Ant-Man
Age of Ultron
Iron Man 3
Okay:
Thor
Captain America
The Dark World
Meh:
Iron Man 2
The Incredible Hulk
Although even the 'meh' films I will occasionally watch and enjoy, like I really enjoy the senate scene from Iron Man 2.
I don't understand why Marvel is knocking off every villain they have. At this rate, we will have C list characters (such as the Wrecking Crew) filling the ranks.
I'm one of the few who enjoyed the Incredible Hulk.
who's with me??...
I want that extended cut but we are not getting it
Love it for Ross and Blomsky, otherwise its just kinda dull.
Ages of ultron is a mess of a movie

I really like Norton in the role, because out of the three of them he sells the idea of Bruce as a wanderer living hand to mouth. Put him next to the other Avengers, and he looks like a little kid - which makes him becoming The Hulk willingly more of a 'HELL YEAH' concept: the weak man becoming pure rage.
What's next for marvel? Rom-com? Horror? Marvel zombies would actually be pretty fun.
Paul Rudd is great, but I kept feeling like he was scripted as a poor man's Chris Pratt.
The movie feels oddly listless.
It was a little irresponsible driving the tank off the building. How many innocents could they have manslaughtered doing that?
I really liked Luis. I hope he shows up in other Marvel movies for no reason. He could be the new Stan Lee.
HOLY SHIT I didn't know Paul Rudd was 46 years old

I'm not really aware of antman/giant man's powers, but I think so. I could be wrong though.Now where you mention it, are his Giant Man Powers also based on Pym Particles?
I'd assume so seeing as he could super size stuff with the blue disks.Now where you mention it, are his Giant Man Powers also based on Pym Particles?

I liked Luis a lot, but he was probably about one joke shy of being overdone. They nailed it in this movie, but any more and I think they'd really be forcing it.

Michael Peña signed a multi-film contract with Marvel for three films according to this interview:

I really want him in the MCU.
It's strange. I've seen a lot of criticism of Hope's role, and while I understand that on a meta level it sucks that she wasn't given more to do I thought that within the movie itself it was made pretty obvious right from the start that she's right and Hank's just being an overprotective, patronising dick about the whole thing.
I haven't seen Age of Ultron, but Ultron is an easy villain to bring back, even if he's seemingly dead in that film. Yellowjacket wasn't necessarily dead, he may've just gotten sucked into the microverse. Someone can pull him out of there, somehow. Ronan is dead, most likely, but who cares? Loki is still floating around. Red Skull can come back. Which meaningful villains have they absolutely killed without wiggle room?
