Sold me completely on Scott Lang's story but not so much Ant-Man...for now. We haven't even seen Yellowjacket in the trailer so I'm sure it'll be action packed in the upcoming trailers. So I dug it.

 

[Strike]

Not bad.

 

[JB1981]

Looks super lame

 

[WillyFive]

Bad trailer. Main actor seems terrible, not a lot shown that would make the movie seen any sort of interesting or different from other superhero movies, and we didn't even get a good sense of what Antman was supposed to be, other than he seems to get smaller and rides bugs.

 

[the_firewithin]

Not on the hype train just yet but we have Paul rudd staring in a fucking marvel movie! Love it

 

[Chezzymann]

Looks pretty good.

 

[hammertomb]

Sounded like he said ent man lol.

 

[Gr1mLock]

I am proportionately enthused.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Well that was shit. I mean wow. Terrible fucking trailer.

 

[Neoxon]

It was an okay trailer, but it didn't get my blood pumping like Guardians, Winter Soldier, or AoU did.

Hopefully the 2nd trailer is better.

You got it.

 

[Narag]

That killed any hype I had for that movie.

 

[Good Job Bob]

From the director of Yes Man

 

[Extra Sauce]

Why so serious?

 

[equippedwithtowel]

Super meh. I can see why Wright was a poor fit is this is what their marketing vision was.

 

[Jarmel]

let the crow eating commence!

lol

None of that even looked close to what a Wright version would have been like. Why should anybody eat crow?

 

[Shining Sunshine]

That looked like a terrible trailer...

I didn't know they were going with Scott Lang.

 

[Wingfan19]

Should've waited till they had more CG shots done. That's what's gonna sell this movie, the sense of scale. But making all those microscopic environments probably takes a long time and they need to look amazing to be believable.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Not enough shrinking. The serious GOTG trailer wasn't great either. Ant riding looked better than I thought.

 

[castlegar]

After Guardians hitting it out of the park with such a unique and loud and weird trailer, this seems super disappointing. But still excited for Paul Rudd and the costume.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I kinda wished they showed Yellowjacket


I think this movie is gonna be okay like Thor okay.

 

[rekameohs]

Uh... that was kinda crappy

 

[ryan299]

I just don't get it. Why does he need to shrink down to the size of an ant? Where's the fun in that?

 

[Pappasman]

Looks very generic Marvel. Wish we could have seen what Wright would have done :/

 

[xxracerxx]

Super meh. I can see why Wright was a poor fit is this is what their marketing vision was.

I am pretty sure Wright did not leave the project because of marketing vision....more like overall vision.

 

[Glass Shark]

Hmm. I think it's interesting that people thought Guardians was a hard sell to audiences, but I was hyped for that film from the second I saw the trailer. This just feels... blah. Potential for disaster. The odd tone of the trailer (Serious? Funny? Bit of both?) left me kind of bewildered.

...

Whatever, I'll still see it opening day.

 

[Neoxon]

I just don't get it. Why does he need to shrink down to the size of an ant? Where's the fun in that?

Sneak past security, do serious damage to one's internal organs, etc.

 

[……forgetit]

That looked like a terrible trailer...

I didn't know they were going with Scott Lang.

Where have you been?

 

[Pachimari]

Bring him!

 

[Akahige]

Another 1:85:1 MCU film I see.

I watched the trailer twice, I don't have much hype after it but I am still interested, I hope Douglas and Rudd chemistry delivers.

I like the look of the suit a lot.

 

[Bo Knows GAF]

After watching I feel exactly the same as I did prior to watching the trailer. Which is that I know nothing, and I'm not sure how to feel about this.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

Terrible trailer. The irreverent humor doesn't work when it's set to Epic (tm) music. I hope the film itself strikes a different tone.

 

[richiek]

Trailer was good until Ant Man was mentioned. Seriously, using a fly as transport looks dumb.

It's an ant.

 

[Sub_Level]

I need you....to be the Ant Man.

Oh my god lol. Will still watch, should be fun.

 

[mikew3st]

That was super underwhelming and I'm still looking forward to it, but I'm worried about what the general public thinks.

 

[LaNaranja]

I just figured that to sell ant-man they'd go in a little more off-angle.

I feel like the sappy buildup that lead to the "huh", should have been followed up with more jokes or something.

Yup. Even just a change in song after the "huh" into something more lighthearted and goofy would have done wonders. The actual shrinking stuff looked cool, but Douglas saying generic words and the generic music made the whole thing feel way more generic than it should have been.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

I just don't get it. Why does he need to shrink down to the size of an ant? Where's the fun in that?

He's usually used in situations where stealth is needed. He can also become a giant, but I don't know if they're using that in the movies or not.

 

[guek]

I think the Marvel pedigree is actually working against this one at the moment. It's definitely a tease but not in a good way. Could have been better for sure.

On a somewhat related note, I guess this is yet another excuse for Marvel-haters to come crawling out of the woodwork.

 

[j.rob]

The trailer does not excite me.

But I have faith. Guardians taught me otherwise.

Oh who am I kidding? I fucking love me some Marvel. Day 1.

 

[A Human Becoming]

It's going to be a challenge to make Ant-Man cool.

It's an ant.

A flying ant? Okay.

 

[Lunar15]

I feel like the issue is that, if you look at the really successful marvel movies lately, they haven't felt like the dozens of origin stories that audiences sat through for years. The trailers for The Avengers, Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc. moved away from that.

This looks straight up out of that origin story era, and it plays up to it more than it subverts it. I guess I just kind of expected them to subvert it at some point, which they almost did, but then didn't follow through.

 

[Jarnet87]

I'd pay for 2 hours of Tim and Eric Paul Rudd. This, not so much.

 

[Snaku]

Well that was shit. I mean wow. Terrible fucking trailer.

Yup, watched it again and I'm pretty sure they would have been far better off not releasing that thing.

 

[TDLink]

This trailer is garbage. Hopefully the next one is better.

 

[WillyFive]

Hmm. I think it's interesting that people thought Guardians was a hard sell to audiences, but I was hyped for that film from the second I saw the trailer. This just feels... blah. Potential for disaster. The odd tone of the trailer (Serious? Funny? Bit of both?) left me bewildered.

The trailer's editing did its best to make it seem like the main character was funny....but there was nothing funny there.

 

[Ingueferroque]

I couldn't recognize Michael Douglas, just by his voice.

 

[bearythebear]

That would have been so much more stylish if Edgar Wright was directing... :/

edit: Also the concept trailer they showed like 2 years ago was way cooler. This just seemed like generic superhero trailer.

 

[Nappuccino]

Still sad Edgar Wright isn't behind this.

This looked better than I was expecting . . . but I'm still holding onto plenty of reservations.

 

[blamite]

I don't think I've ever had a less strong reaction to a trailer.

 

[Gravidee]

This is how it always is. People are underwhelmed by the teaser and then are hyped up when the longer trailer comes along.
