It's third on my list. Tomorrow I go see Jurassic World. Then maybe Terminator Back to the Future Part Duex.

The review I am seeing for it are pretty average, solid 60/100. 7.1/10, B- stuff.

I'm not going to see it. Mostly because I hate they did Antman over Black Widow.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

That's about how I feel too, Teaos. I'll probably wait for DVD.

Hint: dinosaurs eats some people; Arnold's character is actually a machine from a different time. :P

Eh, I'm not going to be too bothered by what they could have done instead since it appears Ant-Man is a fun movie in it's own right. I'm not expecting Godfather-level reviews but it seems like a silly, enjoyable flick so I'll check it out.

I saw it awhile back. Its not that bad. There is some humor in it.

Though it dives into some pre-Iron Man history, as in what they did before the first movie which pretty much started the whole Marvel Avengers thing.

They did a pretty good job on maiking Micheal Douglas look younger with CGI. That has come along way since the days of X-Men 3.

Saw it this week, Personally it's my favourite non-Iron Man MCU film.
In contrast to Age of Ultron which imo seemed to begrude the fact it was in a shared universe, Ant-man to me feels like the first film really set in this shared universe Marvel has devolped.
