Ant man 6/10

It was ok, and made me laugh at some parts. But the movie itself was kind of boring, I fell asleep towards the end. I'm getting a little tired of the villains in these marvel movies being absolutely no threat....if thanos doesn't at least obliterate a few hundred people and whoop the living crap out of a few avengers I'll probably just walk out the theater.

I give it a 7/10. I think Marvel set this movie up well in their casting and advertising, because I went in expecting a fairly light-hearted movie that never tried to get too big for itself and that is what I got. The ending battle could have had a little more to it, and the father daughter bond was a little weak, but Rudd's "fight" with Falcon was well done and Michael Pena was awesome in his role. The voice overs of Pena's stories were really funny. I might have thought less if I went in thinking it was going to be a Captain America or Avengers type movie, but that was just never what I thought about it.

By the way, I am going to start trying out for Marvel Super-hero roles, because the HGH plan they have these guys on is far better than anything I have ever been able to do for myself.

4.0/10.0

What did I like about the movie? I thought the casting of Miles Teller (Reed Richards), Kata Mara (Susan Storm), Jamie Bell (Thing), Michael B. Jordan (Johnny Storm), and Reg E. Cathey (Franklin Storm) was functionally good. Doom was as dispassionately evil as his comics character. And the CGI was decent to very good, especially in putting that kiddie latex costume of The Thing from the previous movies in a box where it belongs. The serious undertone fit both the story and the comics origin.

What I didn't like about the movie? Practically everything else. The plot was serviceable but weakly directed (although the director tweeted that it was 20th Century Fox's interference with his work diminished the movie's appeal). The shadowy financial backer was a totally forgettable character. The Negative Zone wasn't as dynamically different from our universe as it could have been. Bell seemed disinterested at times playing his role before his character's transformation. There was zero need for a CGI mission test monkey (someone was obviously very impressed with the new Planet Of The Apes movies)! The team's chemistry did not mesh until the last 15 minutes of the movie. Armageddon wasn't as frightening as it should have been. The reimagining of Doom as Annihilus (another great Marvel villain) was awkward. The fighting action was as underwhelming as that in the previous two movies until the last 15 minutes of the movie (and that wasn't strong enough).

Disappointing. I like the team structure in this film better than the earlier movies but that's about it. I hope any sequel will get better all around support than this one. There may not be a sequel for this reimagining of the group though. It will not do well at the box office in my opinion. Not well at all. Time to retire, excuse me, bury my current FF avatar as soon as humanly possible.

Man that's disappointing to read. I had a feeling it was going to suck, oh well I guess I'll rent it when it comes out.

The movie is watchable but I totally agree it's not worth watching in a theater. Not surprisingly movie critics disliked the movie more than the average moviegoer (according to reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and MetaCritic) but the degree of dislike is practically the same. I almost fully agree with Tim Ryan's editorial on Rotten Tomatoes:

Pity the poor Fantastic Four. Marvel’s original superhero team has never been particularly well served on the big screen, and critics say that trend continues with Fantastic Four, a jumbled attempt to reboot the franchise that boasts talented actors stranded in an oddly morose, badly paced misfire. It’s yet another origin story: Reed Richards (Miles Teller) and his pals figure out how to teleport to another dimension, but after an ill-fated trip they all end up with superpowers — and make an enemy of the evil Dr. Doom. The pundits say that Fantastic Four has a few interesting ideas that are quickly pushed aside in favor of overripe dialogue, endless exposition, and so-so special effects.

http://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/critics-consensus-fantastic-four/

The special effects were a little better than "so-so." Invisible Woman's abilities were handled better than the other two movies (no stupid nosebleeds either this time). The Thing's design was great although his breathing looked a little artificial at the end of climatic fight scene. Mister Fantastic's stretching was somewhat underwhelming but it looked more natural this time. The Human Torch and Dr Doom were perfect in my opinion. The Negative Zone fight could have been choreographed better. There was some money left unspent in the CGI budget. Why any of it was spent on that mission test monkey character instead of renting a live animal actor is beyond me.

Fox superhero films no match to Marvel or DC. If this was back as a Marvel property, they'd have gotten the right writers, director and most important, actors. Thru the trailers, to me the acting looked bland.

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 9%, based on 147 reviews, with an average rating of 3.4/10.

My complaint with Marvel studios is all their movies have the same tone.

Fox does a good job with X-Men and seems they'll do good with Deadpool so its annoying they cant get Fantastic 4 right.

Ant-Man was different. I think it's more burn out seeing them all in a movie (avengers).

 

[Kevinicus]

I have seen several reviews which say the last 3rd is drastically different (and much worse) than first 2/3 and you can tell where the studio got involved.

This is the comment made the director for which I referred to in my review of Fantastic Four:

Fantastic Four Director Blames Movie’s Bad Reviews on Fox
Sarah Begley
Aug. 7, 2015

The director of the new Fantastic Four film says it’s not his fault the movie has been getting such poor reviews—it’s the studios.

Josh Trank tweeted, then deleted, a post on Thursday saying, “A year ago I had a fantastic version of this. And it would’ve received great reviews. You’ll probably never see it. That’s reality though.” Another Twitter user screen-grabbed the tweet before it was deleted.

Trank had apparently unsettled Fox executives with his behavior, according to the Hollywood Reporter, with people on set complaining that he was difficult to communicate with.

F4 - 5.5/10. I'd say the first hour or so is solid, if a little slow. The pacing changes drastically after they get their powers, and gets extremely rushed once the bad guy shows up. When he first shows up and starts doing things, I loved how just plain evil and menacing he was...then 15 minutes later the movie is over. There really is a lot missing from this movie, and it suffers greatly from it.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Just watched the 'Monotone Four'. Or the 'Dull Four'. The acting was horrendous. They were just reading their lines straight. In soft monotones. No charisma. No passion.

By far the worst superhero movie I have seen in quite some time. This had no plot, no great special effects. It was on par with a tv movie of the week.

Give it a 0/10.

The Gift - 9/10

My wife took me to this movie on a spur of the moment type thing. I had not even heard of the movie before we bought the tickets. I honestly had no idea what type of movie it was.

Go see it.

I don't want to spoil anything for you. In fact, the less you know going in, the better your experience. I have heard that the trailer for the movie is a bit misleading, but I have not seen the trailer so I don't know. I will be seeing the movie again.

FF -

0 of 10.

there is no saving grace to this movie. none. what little positives you can find are buried by idiocy, ****** acting and impossibly stupid dramatic angles almost at every possible turn and a screen play who's script could take quality control lessons from the stupid dramatic angles.

ben is always low key an monotone. hell, almost everyone is monotone and sounding on the verge of serious depression and some jacked up social anxiety disorders. sue is far from "hot" and it took far too long to develop anything close to something where anyone would give a damn about the next few minutes. the overall flow just isn't there and they reach for any port in a storm (no pun intended) to justify what has happened but they never actually figure it out. dr doom got "slimed" and that was all she wrote.

i'd use "pathetic" as an adjective but it was so much more than that. it was easily the worst super hero movie done to date and that includes all previous FF movies and hulk variations.

I haven't sent it but I was guessing it would be middle of the road at 5 or 6... But even you gave it a 4.

They are ruining the "Concept" of what is great about the superheroes/and their movies.


I even read somewhere, I think ny daily news... They gave it 1 out of 10

Oh well. I'm looking forward to b v s d o j

Pixels - 3 out of 10. Took the family to see this one night while we were on vacation. Man, it was really, really bad. Considering the concept and source material, they should honestly be embarrassed by what they put out here. Adam Sandler seemed to add in needless Adam Sandler comments wherever he could fit them in. The three is solely for the few scenes in the first hour of the movie where they put the video games on display.

SIKE! Yep I'm a comics geek for sure but the vast majority of my opinions about movies in general tend to reflect the overall moviegoer consensus. I usually check my thoughts on movies against ratings posted on MetaCritic and Rotten Tomatoes by other moviegoers. It's a way I keep myself grounded and try to understand what's considered left or right of center. That's most moviegoers though. Paid critics and I are far less likely to land in the same opinion neighborhood.
