Oh boy, I'm totally hype for the next Half in the Bag now.
I don't entirely disagree with them, I too thought this movie was great. But I'm not sure the characters were forced or the villain was bad, sure didn't feel like that to me. I pretty much always get bored or fed up with cliches and predictable shitty plots half way through movies, I'm very critical, but I loved this, I'm not sure where a lot of the criticisms are coming from. I do agree on Pym's home though, I was baffled that a guy so wealthy had a home that looked somewhere in between the place OAP's go to die and a haunted mansion.

Also the flash backs were literally the best thing ever.
These movies are basically like comic book issues, it's not so much about the movies themselves as it is releasing the next chapter in the story. Each only needs to be entertaining but not amazing.
Also Half in the Bag seems to have gone downhill, I think they need to come up with some new ideas...
Couldn't disagree more about the 3D stuff.
None of the Marvel movies are filmed in stereoscopic. The 3D editing on all of them is absolute trash, both because of that, and (for the films I've seen) because it was very poorly done.
I liked the movie, but the villain IMO is really annoying
[QUOTE=Jackald;48301881]The villain just felt like wasted potential. With a better actor or better writing he could have been really interesting, but he literally just acted like the villain from the first Iron Man movie.[/QUOTE]
I don't think it's a problem with the caliber of actor so much as the writing. In both movies they have very good actors, Jeff Bridges in Iron Man and Corey Stoll here, who have a history of delivering really great performances. I think it's more a matter of "businessman who is an evil version of the hero" that's just not that great and doesn't give them a whole lot of room to make it memorable.
Looking forward to hear them trash Pixels.
