#1 Post by derekc62 »

Just saw Ant Man and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It was just plain fun.
No dark super-hero stuff, just a simple action-oriented fun day at the movies.
This is a perfect example of a pop-corn movie - sit back and enjoy the show, which the whole family did.

The wife and I saw it yesterday and thought it was great!

Did you happen to notice the cameo by former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Garrett Morris? Back around 1980, he played Ant-Man in a sketch on SNL!

I did notice Garrett Morris but the reason he was there was lost on me.
Now the cameo is a lot more amusing and a lot less "what ever happened to..."

I agree, great movie! I also noticed the cameo but didn't make the connection.

We saw this today (along with the Minions movie).

Enjoyed every minute - this kicked the crap out of the 2nd Avengers movie.

Funny, touching, and a roller-coaster (or train) ride from start to finish.

Great characters, great acting, amazing ideas for the special effects.

Love it when people are allowed to tell a story.

Perfect. This should go down as 2015's "Guardians" - AKA "You thought it would fail - but it SO didn't!"
