Re: Ant-Man (2015)
maybe it's just the fact that the back 1/3rd of agents of shield just got really good, but the new trailer actually has me pretty excited for this movie. I laughed at the train derailing.
If this ends up being good and batman/superman is not everyone in DC's film division should probably just call it quits.

Re: Ant-Man (2015)
I get the impression that no one in the world is excited for this.

Re: Ant-Man (2015)
That's not true. My best friend's 7 year old son says that ant man is his favorite super hero. I asked him why.
'He shrinks and he talks to ants'
Can't argue with that.

My 8 year old is dying to see it. I'm trying everything I can to put it off till he can watch it at home but I'm not sure he will be denied.

Remember though that the first trailer for Guardians got a lot of people really excited for it. The overall reaction to the first Ant-Man trailer was closer to "huh."B wrote:Same was said about GotG a year ago.theplatypus wrote:OK, some children and Joey are excited for this.
This will probably be a pretty big success, weird marketing notwithstanding.

Reddit is the most popular content aggregator on the Internet, so it's germane to the conversation about the overall hype levels of a movie.

Re: Ant-Man (2015)
I would be surprised if Ant Man was anything more than a moderate hit with it more likely under performing. That's not a comment on the quality of the movie just its ability to earn. I think they overstepped with this one. GOTG was an unknown property outside of the comic world but it had everything you'd want in a big summer movie. Ant-Man feels like a CW show on the big screen. Unless its hilarious I can't see the character and his powers as a draw. Dr. Strange is going to be iffy too.
