Darren Cross: All those years ago, you picked me. What did you see in me?
Hank Pym: I saw myself.
Darren Cross: Then why did you push me away?
Hank Pym: Because I saw too much of myself.
Corey Stoll and Michael Douglas in the superhero action film Ant-Man (2015). Based on the comic book of the same name (with slight plot differences), it tells the story of a thief released from prison who becomes an unlikely superhero after struggling to hold down a job.

Great lines. Do you think I should see the movie, Alex?
I really think you should. It’s fun, engaging and the action scenes are brilliantly done.
Okay, Alex. I will!
I just saw this movie about a week or so ago and to my surprise I actually enjoyed it! I’m not sure what I was expecting when the film first came out but the title didn’t interest me so I never even bothered to check out the previews. Moral of the story: Never judge a movie by its name 😉
It’s not your conventional superhero movie for sure. I’m sure some people thought it must be like Honey I Shrunk the Kids. I’m glad it did well at the box office and a sequel is planned.
Yeah, unfortunately I was probably one of those people. The movie took me completely by surprise.
It’s nice to be surprised sometimes
I love this movie!
I had a good feeling about the film when I saw the behind the scenes feature as part of the promotion. The director was a huge fan of the material and it really came across. The main actor Paul Rudd also interviewed well and understood how differently the unusual set up meant for creative possibilities.
Paul Rudd was a great choice for the role, I thought. I saw the movie in the theater and have since seen it 4 more times at home. And I really do not like bugs so that’s pretty amazing for me!
Bravo 🙂
Haven’t seen it yet, believe it or not. Should I?
I enjoyed it. It’s a fun movie and well done.
And it was great!
I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂 And wasn’t the daughter adorable!
I loved Ant Man, it was so much fun! I’m really glad it did well and will get a sequel. Plus doesn’t he make an appearance in Captain America?
Indeed he does 🙂
And that makes me happy! 😃
Love this, Alex.
That’s great 🙂
I did not think I would like yet another Marvel film, but I loved Ant Man. Great cast and a lot of fun too!! – Lola
I can’t wait for the sequel. Usually when you see so many writers for one film it’s a bad sign, but it worked here.
I agree! I’m so glad they are doing the sequel. Is Ant Man in the new Captain America film? Thanks – Lola
I’ve not seen it but those that have have told me that he is.
I learned more about Ant Man from your quote and description than any review! Being serious 🙂
Aww thanks. I really do think you’d like it. And I seriously like your reviews ha.
Thanks Alex that means a lot 🙂 I will definitely watch Ant Man on DVD, Paul Rudd is a good guy.
I had no idea how much effort he made to get into shape for it. He was super convincing as a caring dad too.
I enjoyed Antman, but for some reason the villain didn’t make that big of an impression on me. I was more impressed by Corey’s performance as Hemingway in ‘Midnight in Paris.’
It wasn’t about the baddie for me so it wasn’t something I focused on. He was great in that. He’s incredible in House of Cards too.
One hell of a movie.. I like to watch movies because of this wonderful lines and excitement and learning they bring… Great to stumble upon your site.. I have to leave for work now but I have gotta read more.. I love this already.
Thanks. I’ll be checking out yours too 🙂
thanks so much dear 🙂
Adored ant man!
I’m so glad they’re doing a sequel. It really came across in the film how much they all bought into his character and universe.
Me too! It was one of the cutest movies. I still smile thinking of it! 🙂
I’m really hoping the next one focuses on the wife 🙂
Maybe a female ant-woman! 😀
