    Just came back from Antman...

    Go see this movie. It's a Fun, Funny, and not over the top action movie. Probably the best of the Marvel movies in my opinion. Actually has a very well written and thought out script. I was shocked to see that Rudd was one of the writers on the screenplay for this movie. One guest appearance in the movie will make you laugh out loud when it happens...especially if you are over 40 years old

    I won't do any spoilers...but stay until the lights come up in the house. 2 post titles endings. One after the initial credits and one after the last of the credits. Which leads me to this question: When was Larry Leiber, Stan's brother, ever given credit for the creation of Antman?? I've never heard or seen anything about Larry being co-creator of the character.

    Larry Leiber did the scripts for the first Ant-Man story so that's probably it. Stan may have come up with the basic concept with Jack Kirby but Larry fleshed it out...

        I enjoyed it! Michael Douglas really gives it his best too. It is a fun, lighthearted romp that leaves you wanting more. And they are doing a really nice job of tying into Avengers 2, and moving the Universe storyline forward. It is not, however, as fun as Guardians of the Galaxy. But, boy, any kid would come out of this wanting to be Ant Man. It's great to see a hero with a lot of heart, and in the right place.

              Yes... I enjoyed this about as much as any Marvel movie lately. It was just nice to have a little smaller story with some character development. My wife loved it and she usually doesn't go for these "comic book things".

                "little smaller" good one!

                My whole family saw it today and loved it. It a good story and the right amount of humor throw in. Marvel Studios can do no wrong in my opinion.

                  Fun really is the best way to describe this movie. I was cynical about Rudd and focusing on Lang vs Pym, but it all made sense and worked very well. I was surprised how much I liked this and how comfortably it continues to build the MCU.

                    Anyone see it in 3D? I'd like to check that out.

                    As much as I enjoyed it, knowing of its troubled production, I can't help but wonder how it would've been different had Edgar Wright remained on board as director.

                      My son and I just got back from seeing this and we really enjoyed it! The humor isn't misplaced, and there are some laugh out loud moments. With there not being a ton of characters they were able to take some time with the movie and tell a story.

                      There's two after credits sequences, so be sure to stay in your seat!

                          MIB (Tom) and I are going to hit up the IMAX 3D show tomorrow afternoon. Sounds like we'll have a good time and have plenty to talk about over pizza and brewskis!

                            I enjoyed it a lot, a (no pun intended) smaller & more intimate Marvel film with good humor. Plus, I like shrinking heroes, entymology, and Paul Rudd--I guess I was the perfect audience member.

                            The film set the stage for one of my favorite superheroines, too.

                              Just got back! Love, love, LOVE this movie!
                              Fantastic fun, great characterization, small in scope yet big on spectacle...FX were truly amazing, some great classic Marvel references, and as a bonus, I picked up the Ant-Man figure with flying ant box set from TRU afterwards.

                              Just a PERFECT day!
