I want to smell dark matter
I saw it today (in 2D.) I liked it. I was a bit worried at first as it didn't get off to the best start. There was a lot of exposition in the first 30 minutes (the villain just basically explains everything he's going to do in one long scene) and Scott Lang's character took a while to become interesting. BUT once they actually got to the shrinking stuff it got good. The macro photogrpahy looked great. Much better than Honey I Shrunk The Kids! And the ants. The ants were cool. Michael Douglas was really good as Hank Pym and not a "phoning it in for the money" performance like Anthony Hopkins. Evangeline Lilly was actually very good too (FUCK TAURIEL) and really their father daughter relationship made Scott feel surplus at times. But I think Scott got better by the end and his scenes with his daughter were well done (oh I just realised it was a movie about father-daughter relationships.) The little girl actress was good in a part that could have been too sickly sweet. The villain was fine? Like he was too close to the evil businessmen villains of the Iron Man movies, but the actor was good and did the crazy stuff well and his suit was cool. Having the final battle be in a little girl's bedroom rather than a huge explosion fest was nice too. Falcon's appearance was fun. SO YEAH despite a slow start I enjoy the movie and it was another fine entry to the MCU, though not on the level of Guardians (but most things aren't.)
