Ant-Man is my favorite Marvel hero, so I was excited to see this. I liked the first one a tad better but this one was still good as well. It gives me hope that Ant-Man will be in Infinity War pt. 2 after being completely absent in the first one.
I am happy and sad that the end credits scene was exactly what I thought it'd be. I briefly caught those Infinity War feelings.
But it all depends on which direction they want to take the team from the start in the MCU. Ghost doesn't have to be part of a villain scheme to be part of the team, she just has to have a reason to be there and be involved. After that, her gradual evolution into actually wanting to be a hero would be the same, because right now she wouldn't want to be a hero or on a team. Same thing with Zemo, maybe he might still be down for a villain scheme that messes with the Avengers or maybe he might be down for a path to redemption, but he definitely wouldn't want to be on a team of "heroes" because it goes against everything he stands for. At the same time, that is the sort of interesting details that makes finding a reason for getting someone like Zemo on the team compelling and whether he decides to be a "good guy" or a "bad guy" or something more ambiguous in the end, getting a team together that has way less reason to ever work together than the Avengers ever had makes for some good storytelling. It's tricky but can create for some great character dynamics.
This was a lot of fun, a nice palette cleanser after IW. I liked everyone in this. Ghost was cool and I'd like to see her come back some day. Glad to see my man Goggins getting that Marvel payday. That mid-credits scene was a smack in the goddam mouth though, it got some kids sitting in front of me real upset.
We might get a reverse spinning shot, with Thanos in the middle and every one else punching :p
This movie was probably the worst cinema experience of my life, three people next to me were eating fucking Big Macs and french fries, I have no idea how they managed to get that shit inside.
I knew going to the movies was a bad idea.

I think I enjoy these movies more as experiences than normal movies now.
This was a well made movie by all accounts but I just couldn't really care much about what was happening. "Scott might go to jail" simply does nothing for me as a hook or as a timer plot device. They escape from prison like it's nothing in these movies. Scott Lang might be worried about going to jail for 20 years, but I couldn't muster you up anything. And when the ticking clock is a big deal in the movie it just really seemed liked it screwed up the pacing. And then it ended so abruptly too. They sure resolved Ghosts' issue with no problems, and in 10 seconds.
I know the Mom thing is the main draw, but eh. Just didn't do much for me.
The movie is fine in a vacuum. But all in all I don't think I enjoyed it as much as I should have. I guess now I'm living for all the tie-in, Easter egg, big picture stuff with the MCU :/
Although Homecoming was sorta like that and I greatly enjoyed that movie. So maybe this one just wasn't really for me.

This movie has the biggest future connection since Sif and Volstagg took the Infinity Stone to the collector in Thor 2.
Just got back from seeing it, was fun. Nothing ground breaking but a nice fun summer flick is always great.
Loved the supporting cast, Luis and pals are a blast, Cassie was great, truth serum guy made me laugh.
Hope we get to see Giantman fighting Thanos in Avengers 4, would be great.

If you're going to compare her hair to a Green Day album I rather you pick 21st Century Breakdown instead.
Dookie is amazing.
A mutant like the Fantastic Four and not like the X-Men.
I see where people see this as an entry point for introducing the X-Men but I doubt this is the direction they were planning on taking with Janet's new powers.
Goggins and Pena and that subplot are what elevates this movie. Ghost is neat but kind of undercooked, but I loved the concept of the three-way fight with both Ghost and Burch out for Pym's tech for their own ends, while the X-Con team intercedes to help.
How does what they're eating bother you?
Hell, that food should be quieter than popcorn.
Which is why Team Stark was always going to be the losing team.
I loved this movie!!! That post credit scene man really gonna interesting to see how that ties in.
Oh and wasp should get her own movie too. She was wicked. My favorite mcu female hero.
I'm an old school marvel fan but man I love the mcu versions of pym Lang and company better than the comic versions.

I'm sure they caught up since it's likely the movie is set weeks before Infinity War
I also kinda feel like if Scott, Hope, Hank, and the mom were there and the snap takes out 50% of the people, then Scott and one other person should have survived instead of all 3 people outside the van vanishing. Although the snap takes 50% of people overall so they just happened to be in the half that got taken.
I honestly thought it was either Jan or Hank surviving, nope. Russos says LOL.
I guess having all 3 vanish gave the scene more of an impact though
Well for all we know if Scott was outside too he may have disappeared as well, maybe being in the quantum realm saved him.
It wasn't the sound, it was the smell.
We all have our own pet peeves.
Yeah, I guess if someone could make a suit out of a box of scraps and become a superhero, it basically means they have to include a clause that accounts for anyone with nutty technology and not just people with powers.
So Janet said something to Scott like "avoid time vortexes ". Is that the key to fixing infinity war?

My fiancee thought the dusting scene hit way harder here than in IW. The whole happy family reunion just getting straight shat on in an instant by Lord Purp Willis really made the knife in the heart sharper.
This is the most likely outcome IMO.
Also, I hope a little bit of time is spent in A4 showing the emotional and physical damage his snap did to all civilization. Imagine Stark coming home to Earth and instead of being this God tier hero the world loves he's a failure and how the world reacts to that. I can imagine the internal grief Thor is going through as well, being so close to stopping it but fucking it all up because his ego got in the way and he just had to tell Thanos what's up.
Does McDonald's ordinarily smell bad to you? If so, I get it, but if not, I'm not sure why the smell of it should be an annoyance in a theater.
The crowd lost it during my showing. Was really good to end on a note like that considering how upbeat the film was. I loved It.
It was fine, seems like more of the first movie. I still love the visual gags,and Michael Peña but they kinda can't do another one of these. It needs to go somewhere.

A little off topic but man there were no good trailers before this which is rare.
Anyways I enjoyed it but I feel it needed a little more oomph if you get what I mean.
I wanted a set piece to take place in the Quantum Realm or something.
