Well, I like the costume and how the ant-bits look from those brief shots, but I still find it hard to get overly excited about. Probably because this is meant to be a heist movie, and I generally don't like those. I'll still watch it, but I'm not overly excited. I doubt it will be a bad film, though.
The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man” when master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats.
Which isn't found on the Marvel Entertainment video.
I recall Marvel saying something to the effect that there would be a bit of a revelation in the film about Pym (Douglas) and Ultron. My guess is that in the film we will find out he helped a bit with the AI and perhaps it is the motivation to remove other elements of his research from unwanted hands. It would make sense if he helped in some capacity create a robot that tries to eliminate everyone that he would have some trepidation as to allowing others to use his research. They have to be careful what they show in general, even if this guess isn't true, because Marvel still can't show how it relates to the aftermath of Avengers 2 in any capacity.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.
I don't know how excited I am about Ant-man - I feel like the whole "shrinking humans down" thing has been done to a point where it's gonna be hard for this film to do anything new - But I will say that the costume looks awesome.
I'll probably see it, but I won't be queuing up for opening night, put it that way.

Really? It's a concept that hasn't really been explored for anything other then comedic value AFAIK. Gonna be amusing to see how they handle the action.
Aye, only movie that really comes to mind is Honey, I shrunk the Kids.
I wonder, since this is obviously an Older Hank (And as such Wasp has already been done as his wife), if we will see the Wasp in this movie. Could be that blonde or brunette shown, but Idunno.
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.
I feel like, "I'm already going to see this movie. It will make a billion dollars. So, thanks for realizing there's no need to show us the whole plot. Or any of it, really."

If Avengers Assemble is anything to go by, very likely to be yes. I feel bad for DC though, they've not really managed to do the super hero ensemble yet.
$2.8 billion (Avatar) is a really, really big number. To even finish second (Titanic), it'd have to do $2.2 bil. I predict that it'll top the original ($1.5 bil), but still fall short of Titanic. Some people just don't like superhero films, you know.
I guess the new trailer was okay, if you like lots and lots of shots of actors slowly and/or dramatically looking around.

Very true.
The trailer's not doing it for me, but I said same about Man of Steel and liked that one. I haven't really liked a comic movie since the disappointing IM3, but then again I can't think of a tentpole movie I liked since 2013.

And the result? It's intentionally creepy as all heck.
Yeah, it's pretty cool how they did it. Ultron is the badass Avenger villain, when he's done properly and not made into a mustache twirling villain. Would his mustache be made of copper wiring, btw?
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

I agree on the point of Iron Man 3. Was NOT impressed with how they did the Mandarin. They could have totally done a Thor with him and had magic being technology. Extremis was interesting though.

Didn't they make a short with Ben Kingsley's character that established that the real Mandarin wasn't happy with how his name was usurped for Guy Pearce's characters benefit?

I liked GotG, but I didn't *love* it the way some people did. Maybe it spread the fun/quirkiness/irreverent thing on a little too thickly? I dunno. And underneath that stuff, I'm not sure that the story was that great or the characters that compelling. It was fun brain candy, kinda like the Avengers dialed up to 11. *shrug*
