Just to be clear on AM&TW, I liked the movie, there were plenty of good gags, it's just that if you watched a majority of the trailers, they literally showed 90% of them in the ads... the other 10% were probably an extension of the same scene already shown. And I stopped watching the trailers after the kid-sized shrink was shown. That's when I knew they were digging to get my attention. I was already going to watch the movie, so there was no reason for me to keep looking at trailers.... I think I even mentioned something about it when I posted that last trailer in one of these threads.
On the other hand, The Wasp was a bad ass, and Ghost was pretty cool too. Ant-man himself was comic relief, and the Luis gag was pretty good, but they need to find another way to do it if they do it again.
The movie overall was good. It was pretty small scale and unconnected from the greater going-ons in the MCU, which while needed as a pallette cleanser after IW.... Incredibles 2 already cleansed that pallette and in a much more entertaining way. (seriously I2 was was great, I loved it from beginning to end). Personally I think AM&TW was just released too soon. should come out next month maybe? There was just too much going on this summer, and AM&TW was too soon after IW to not be really be connected, not have a trailer before IW, and the only real connection (outside of forced CW references) being the mid-credits scene. After what just happened in IW, I think I needed more #itsallconnected substance.... maybe that had nothing to do with it... maybe what it really needed was a little Edgar Wright in the writing and visuals room (I don't remember there being the same visual shrinking flare from the first movie)?
long story short, AM&TW had good parts, but as an entire package, the 1st movie was better in almost every way. IMO
Hopefully the ending plays into A4 in a very important way, which leads Ant-man into having his Doctor Strange moment in IW, where we see what he's really capable of when it comes time to handle business.
