See I feel the opposite.......I feel like the bigger these movies get, the more worried I get. AoU really did disappointed me with its jammed packed plot lines. I appreciate my single hero stories


I'm stilled hyped for Cap 3 though....I just hope it's a Cap movie and not avengers 2.5

It already sounds like avengers 2.5 breh. And I wasn't a big fan of age of ultron either. It was okay but it just felt like a lot was missing and even mashed together

This was the one super hero flick that did not interest me. The reviews are good but the movie has no buzz with the general public.

Movie was fantastic and is generating good word of mouth and stellar reviews which is the EXACT opposite of Green Lantern. Marvel basically took their version of Tito Jackson and made him a star. Everyone who has seen the movie has enjoyed it. Whereas sitting through Green Lantern was a chore, it's one of only three movies I've ever fallen asleep on. shyt was EXTRA Wack and it's only half-way redeeming quality was Ryan Reynolds attempting desperately to lift that shyt stain of a film to respectability....

I don't mean universally beloved like a classic of the genre like say The Dark Knight, Spider-Man 2 or Winter Soldier but it's certainly been more well received than lets say Man Of Steel (which I thought got some unfair hate) or both Hulk films (both were boring in my opinion)


What im trying to say is that the good reviews it garnered and fan satisfaction certain,t justified Ant-Man's solo movie existence, plus I feel like it should embolden Marvel to maybe branch out and hopefully get a Mark Rufallo Hulk solo film, put some REAL weight behind the Black Panther solo films and Dr. Strange and perhaps think about bringing Daredevil back to the big screen (with the Netflix continuity in place of course) I mean if they can get $58 million out of muthafukking ANT-MAN then the sky's the limit


Green Lantern was almost the death of the DCU. Ant-Man probes that's there's life still coursing through the MCU:blessed:

I'm sure the opening week numbers have been discussed in the Ant Man thread.

I'm kind of shocked it did so low. I expected it to do at least 85 mil because it's an MCU flick. But aside from what people have mentioned, this flick may be part of the MCU, but it's not one you rush to see.

Yup Ricky's dumb ass did indeed.
It's Reggie breh.

Yes it will. All they gotta do is market it right. As long as it recoups its budget and is a good movie then :manny:

It's ANT MAN and most people have superhero film fatigue. :manny: I STILL haven't seen Thor 2 and it took word of mouth and it hitting DVD for me to check out Cap 2.

Best thing Antman has going for it is that it's the summer and it's a comedy. That Mexican breh stole the show. :pachaha:

That's a good opening weekend number for a hero as unknown to the public as Ant Man. And it was a solid movie.


Green Lantern, however...that's one of DC's starters. What a disappointment.
but he isn't.

DC starters are:
Worlds finest; superman, batman, wonderwoman.
Their B squad is:
Justice League next tier: GL, Flash, Aquaman
Their C squad is:
Shazam, Martian Man Hunter, Hawkman / girl

ANT-MAN is definitely marvel b squad...he is a founding member of the avengers, has been in stories for decades upon decades, and has been key man for their biggest stories ever...don't try to sell him like "oh he's some sidekick guy" NAH, nice try.

this is real clever turning ant man into a nobody and GL was on billboards or something so ANY level of success is a huge win.

If I say

Kyle Ratner
Henry Pym
Hal Jordon

nobody knows who ANY of them are outside the comic community, so don't act like he is more or less known than GL
