Bazza Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 25 mins until it begins, then another 30 mins of ads, & trailers etc until the film begins. Saw Incredibles 2 yesterday and i reckon it is a 7/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranxerox Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 A good movie. Better than the first, which I liked also. It does suffer a bit though from coming so closely behind The Incredibles 2, because while Ant-Man And The Wasp is good, it isn't incredible.

Bazza Posted July 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Where-as I felt the opposite, Incredibles 2 was sub-Parr compared to Ant-Man & The Wasp. For reference, I saw Incredibles 2 the day before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Ant Man 1 wasn't terrific either, it was just fun and very comic booky. It felt the most like a comic book come to life of all the Marvel films so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Solid effort. Liked that they brought in Foster to the MCU. Ending was a little hokey. Meaningful end credits scene, presumably Scott will be saved in Avengers 4: The Undusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Does this take place before or after Infinity War in the timeline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Right before... And I saw it, and yeah, "Fun Flick!" is the best way to describe it. And Scott Lang is one the best dad's in the Marvel Universe (Not that the bar is high) and perhaps in Movie dom period.

Old Man Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 This film did not suck. It was a little more serious than I expected. But not much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDU Neil Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I also couldn't help compare The Wasp and Ant-Man (as my wife insists it be called) to the Incredibles, and found it held up well. Both are movies driven by character and setting motivations rather than overt plot. Both have their emotional heft residing in the interpersonal relationships. Both are generally light hearted, with just enough seriousness not to be campy. I enjoyed Wasp/Ant-Man much more than the first one... and was very pleased that this movie didn't really have a villain in it. There were generally three competing agendas, none of which were purely evil, nor purely heroic (one greedy criminal, but hardly villain status, one tortured metahuman, but not out for villainous motivations, just trying to survive, and the Pym's who mostly good, but operating on the shady side) all after the same technological McGuffin. Lang gets caught up in this, of course, and we are off to the races. It works really well, as there is no clear "us vs. them" set-up... nor does there have to be a culminating "fight scene" as much as a culminating confluence of actions, many downright hilarious. The use of size-changing for humorous effect, based off a faulty regulator was laugh-out-loud most of the time. The Ghost was dangerous but sympathetic. Bill Foster was his own, conflicted character and always fun to watch Lawrence Fishburne. While it worked, I actually felt let down by the tie-in to Infinity War. My wife was upset. "That movie was fun! Why did they have to bring it that dusting crap!" and felt that scene left a bad taste, after really enjoying the movie.

A family nearby had a child, the little girl was soooo pissed at that scene and actually said "Why did they have to do that? now I'm all MAD!" Indignation, thy name is young fan girl.

From my wife (who I sent your words above) "you can't make emotional shifts like that without warning when so many viewers of whatever media (books, movies, etc.) are invested emotionally and it is what drives them to consume said media, it feels like a betrayal that stuff demands set up so we can adequately prepare" Matt the Bruins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Your wife is right about that. I think Marvel was counting on everyone who saw this to see infinity war first (not entirely unreasonable as many fans are into it all) and that the interconnectivity would excuse the tone shift and count as a warning (not nearly as reasonable imo) It's one of the few Marvel Movies I prefer without the after credits scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 They could have done it by leaving the camera on Lang as he calls for help, and not getting a response, without actually showing us the dusting. More of a cliffhanger ending and less of a THE PYMS ARE DEAD ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikmar Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I personally enjoyed that they got past Hope and Hank being mad at Scott (though it had been 2 years off screen) quickly. I liked even more so that Hope wasn't mad that Scott went to Germany, but that he didnt ask for their help (I assume she had not been in the costume yet, as he was surprised by the flight and blaster parts). Loved the opening with Cassie and Scott. Laughed a lot in this movie, which made it a good subsequent movie to Infinity War, changing peoples moods. I agree on just leaving Scott saying on radio asking for help and not showing dusting. Not sure what the point of the end credit scene was for, other then humor. I noticed scenes in previews not in the movie - the you go high scene and the one where Michael Pena (Luis) comments that Ghost is using similar tech to Pym's. I thought movie was fun and liked it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 ...and yet, does anyone really believe the Pym's are dead? Or, for that matter, Black Panther, the GotG, Spider-Man, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I'm pretty sure nobody who reads comics does. I'm not sure about some of my friends/family who only know this stuff via the movies though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
