Just how good is the de-aging of Michael Douglas.
Holy shit, so good. Opening scene, right out of the gate -- bam, there's young Michael Douglas, fully lit and looking great. Light years beyond any other CGI de-ageing effort; no Tron Legacy here.
It seems like there's more Fantastic Four posters and marketing material than Ant-Man here in my country, but there haven't been a single Fantastic Four TV commercial, while Ant-Man has started to show on TV.

Back up to 72%
Now at 73%.
So now it's within AoU territory. Glad more of the top critics chimed in.

Why does metacritic have a total of 14 reviews when every other marvel movies have 40 plus reviews.
Not officially release yet. And unlike other MCU movies, Ant-Man didn't get an early release in other territories for some reason.
Rudd is on Conan on Thursday. Was gonna say I can't wait for a new clip of the movie but the clip actually leaked already.
Not sure, Rotten Tomatoes has around 40 reviews already.
Metacritic is far more selective about what reviews they allow on their site. Most major publications won't have a review until Friday so the reviews simply aren't out there yet.

That's not a spoiler. And I dont' want to visit a spoiler thread and expose myself to actual spoilers to find out whether the quality of a special effect that's being openly discussed in multiple reviews and articles about the film is good or not.
I basically asked "Is the effect good."
That's not a spoiler.
Now it's equal to AoU.

Friday, but some theaters near you will likely give it a Thursday preview screening at 7pm.
To be honest, I didn't even notice it until the scene was over. As in, I knew it was Michael Douglas, but it didn't register that his face was modified. I only realized it the next time we saw him in the present.
I would recommend 3D tickets for this one. The effects are well used for depth and the film remains bright throughout (no massive darkening that I noticed).
It's really that impressive, your mind doesn't question the fact that young Michael Douglas is on screen.

Let me be the first to say i am devastated at the OT tagline, it should be Ant-Man |OT|: "What is this an OT for ANTS?! It has to be at least… three times bigger than this!

I'm more devastated at myself for not continuing the Thanos spoiler thread theme.

So it's gonna randomly cut to Winter Soldier?
As for the rest of it, I dunno. That relationship looked sturdy enough that to just have it randomly break apart would be sorta odd + very One More Day-ish.
Saw it last night on the IMAX BIG SCREEN 3D OF AWESOMENESS (no, seriously, the IMAX pre-showing talkups are hilarious).
It felt a little slow in the middle, and the fight scenes were awkward to watch from time to time, but the incredible visuals were totally worth it, the jokes were good (even if the trailers spoiled probably the top 2-3 best ones), and the overall acting was good.
Little sad we didn't get a younger Hank Pym, but I loved the interaction between him and Stark.
In terms of less mainstream movies, I'd rank it below Guardians of the Galaxy, but still one of the "Good" MCU Movies.

How is the 3D in this? is it any good or does it take away from the movie? (Edit: saw that it is good some posts above but another opinion wont hurt) im gonna see it tomorrow (actually on thursday at 00:15 am) and i got the middle seats in the middle row.
I saw it in IMAX 3D also. There's one particular scene where the 3D shines. If you were seeing in 2D you'd get to this part and be thinking "this would have looked awesome in 3D".
I'm taking my 8 year old son to see it again in VMAX 3D this weekend so I guess I liked it.

This might be as good a place as any to ask, but whose movie reviews do y'all read? I look at the RT numbers, but I'm never sure which reviews to actually read.

I don't read Movie Reviews anymore. I'll judge a movie myself first. Even on GAF if someone is offering their impressions I just skip it until I've seen it myself.

Going to see this tomorrow afternoon. There may be some shrinkage.
Glad he is. Whatever happens with this movie, the casting is still on point.

Ant-Man projected to make $115-125 million globally, but will finish second to Minions this weekend.
Another reason to hate those little yellow buggers.

Is that right? :/ How sad.
