Theater Whore: Ant-Man

Ant-Man 6/10

I finally got around to seeing Ant-Man starring Paul Rudd. This is the last of the Phase Two Marvel films and that means something that I am vaguely aware of. There will be some spoilers. This movie has a pretty basic premise of a systems engineer with a criminal named Scott Lang that is trying to get his life back together after doing three years in prison for playing Robin Hood. He goes to visit his daughter after getting out and is reminded by his wife and her new boyfriend that he is a failure at being a father and provider. By the way, his daughter is one of the best parts of the movie.

Upcoming Fantastic 4, Batman v Superman, Star Wars, Ant Man Trailer Excitement Levels

I have recently been able to watch some of the trailers for some upcoming movies and decided to do an Excitement level post about them the way I did with those Marvel and DC Comics ones. This time its for Fantastic 4, Batman v Superman, Star Wars, and Ant Man. Its funny how trailers nowadays are teaser trailers or they show way too much of the movie. I haven't decided if it is ignorance or blind confidence when this is done but it is and I'm gonna talk about it.

Fantastic 4

The trailer for this got me more excited than I thought it would. The trailer seems to shut up a lot of complaints about the first as well as answered questions as well. We see that Sue Storm was adopted by Johnny Storm's dad answering the “Why is he Black but they are related?!” question. Thing looks better than he has ever looked on film. And Mr. Fantastic appears to use his powers in a cool, fast way and not like in previous films where it was more like “Look at how far he can stretch...slowly.” I'm looking forward to seeing this.
