That's a valid complaint to have, but most of the responses were along the lines of "this is gonna suck without Edgar Wright". From the reviews I've read, many of Edgar Wright's original ideas are still there.

I'm going to enjoy the shit out of this movie when it comes out. Paul Rudd will make this flick for me in any case.
Even as an unabashed Marvel kid, I don't know why anyone would bother with crow, or serving thereof. If it is super-fantastic (and by most accounts, it'll be a good time at the very least), you'll just get the "lol edgar wright did everything" crowd. There's a good chunk out there just looking to rile people up anyway, which is all in good fun (or a poor channeling of boredom).
Enjoy the movie for what it is yall.

Wouldn't that mean they were right then? Like if those parts were missing then movie would probably suck because it wouldn't be complete.
You might want to give people a chance to watch it first so that they can possibly defend themselves as people still might not like it. Also just because the ideas are there doesn't mean the execution can match it.
Alright then, I'll hold off on the crow for the time being. Thanks for the advice.
I would say you can go after people saying the movie would bomb or that it would be rotten though.
At least some of the crows that I've been marinating will get some use.
Like Guardians, there's a ton of comedy packed into the movie, and I think most of it works... to say the least. It's an incredibly funny film, with a lot of standout and memorable moments. James Gunn tweeted that it was his favorite since original Iron Man and obv Guardians, and I have to follow him there, I'd say it's up there with those two, at the top.
Paul Rudd was the perfect casting choice, he delivers in being sort of an anti-hero, but also nails the emotional core as [very mild spoiler]
Lily is also pretty good and Douglas is great as Pym. The comic relief characters work well and are more hit than miss.
Action scenes are very clever, and even the climax relies heavily on comedy, and again it all worked.
I'm definitely going to see it again, and a treat after the disappointment that was Ultron.
If you're curious about anything else, shoot.
Oh and eeeh [MCU spoiler]
About post credits scenes:

the relationship with his daughter feels very authentic and real. Every scene with her is very touching.

there's a Spider-man shout out!
About post credits scenes:
there's a mid credit one, and one at the very end.
Isn't this Week 2 for Minions?
He's maybe the only minor complaint: not that memorable unfortunately. I mean he's not bad, but he's definitely one of the weaker links here.
Yep, not underestimating it either, I thought Inside Out would beat out Jurassic, it didn't despite making almost 100 million.
Just bought my tickets for the 7:30pm IMAX showing on Saturday. A couple of co-workers are going to join me. I might do a double-feature with this movie and Terminator. It's going to be a long day of studying for the PE exam, then taking the family out for dinner, and finally kick back for a movie (or two).
I don't have any hype for the movie other than it being fun. I've learned through the MCU Phase 2 movies to not expect much, if any, tie-ins to the other movies.
Like others have said, RT score discussion is part of every film's OT. Same with BO performance. I don't care about the RT score either. Usually, the more critics hate a movie, the more likely it is that I'll enjoy it.
So basically, you know more about film making than every modern critic out there.

Dammit. I was hoping that they would finally have a great villain.

"crow serving" threads are quite annoying tbh and I can see the one for ant-man being especially stupid with wright-fuckery from both sides. can't we just enjoy the movie for what it is?
I haven't seen it, but a friend told me he's more Jeff Bridges Iron Monger-tier than he is Dark Elf or Whiplash-tier.
But, yeah, he's not Loki-tier.
But I enjoy my movies with some wine and a serving of crow on the side.
It's more the character/script and not the actor. Because Stoll was amazing in HoC, not so much here
So not a jobber? Just a mid carder? Okay, works for me.
Ant-Man Review Thread: Oh no, no. Daddy don't get scared.

Isn't the preferred nomenclature "Rottenwatch".

Does the "after credits" scene in this movie after ALL the credits, or is it mid-credits scene after the shorter, fancier credits?
Or does it have both?
Or does it have both?
Sounds like the comparisons to Stane keeps up
There are 2 scenes, one mid credits and one post credits. So stick around after the first scene
Yeah pretty much the same exact type of villain.

Just saw it. It was a lot better than I expected. Some of the jokes had me in stitches. The
was goddamn hilarious.
Cross definitely reminded me of the Iron Monger. Actor did the best with what he was given.
Also, the (ending spoilers)
were pretty cool.
There was? I must've missed it, where was it?

two post-ending scenes
'Ant-Man will return' gave me a big smile on my face, which I honestly didn't expect before I saw the movie.

A lot of them, yeah. A few really know their technical stuff. The ones that usually focus on film theory are usually the better reviewers. Richard Brody for example.
Then you get shits like Devin Faraci who say movies like AoU have good cinematography and editing when it did not.

Edgar Wright is pretty big on visual comedy.
Many suspect that the train scene in particular came from him.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
This is going to be Marvel's worst performance at the box office since the original Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger films. I doubt it'll even break 60 million OW.
I'm aware, I was just curious if he was actually going to go for stuff like the visual onomatopoeia.

Falcon was talking about the different type of super heroes: "we got a guy with a hammer, a man in an iron suit and now a guy that can stick to walls"

Ok, then what are your favourite movies? I'm guessing they're critically panned movies given the "usually" stance, right?

Have you not seen the NHL threads on going jokes about how I am always on set?
Kaep, please return to set.

It'll probably be after the credits.
When you see the Marvel Studios logo in full screen at the end (would that be an end tag?), that means it's all over.

I don't think we have any information about what can be attributed to Wright except for what was shown in that old test footage.
edit: iirc someone posted an interview with Peyton Reed that might give more information but I also remember it being a bit spoilery about something late into the movie and I sadly can't find it right now
