As I continue along the Road to Avengers Endgame my series of Rewind Reviews is nearing the end of Marvels Phase 2. Ant-Man was heap of fun when it first released and the fresh humor and silly antics are still a joy today some 4 years on. With a great cast that displays excellent on screen chemistry, Ant-Man is one of those movies that, despite being simply good, is always endearing.
I've always thought that the idea of Ant Man was one that had huge (excuse the pun) potential yet it seems to be played a tad safe. I feel access to Hank Pym opens a lot of doors that we see more fully explored in Ant Man and the Wasp (review next month!) but it's a bit of a shame that I feel like these movies are always going to be sidelined and given small, superfluous plots that rarely change the grand picture of the MCU. Here is hoping Endgame can prove me wrong but I still feel like Ant Man and the Wasp was merely introducing us to the Quantum Realm which if it does gets used heavily throughout Endgame makes Ant Man and the Wasp even weaker in my book.
ANT-MAN 2015 DIRECTOR- Peyton Reed CAST- Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Michael Pena and Evangeline Lilly
About The Author:
Welcome to REWIND REPLAY! If you haven't checked the channel out before my name is Steve and love all things movies, T.V., video games and just pop culture in general and I really wanted a place I could discuss it all with others thus- REWIND REPLAY.
REWIND REPLAY is a channel for pop culture lovers of all ages to come together and jump head long into the discussion about all the latest movies, video games and television programs.
Here is what you can expect to see on REWIND REPLAY...
NEW REVIEWS- Reviews of all the latest release movies as well as the latest STAN and NETFLIX movies.
REWIND REVIEWS- Reviews of older movies.I like to look back at what the film was then and see how it has held up today. Often this will be used to build up to a new release.
RANKINGS- Once I've built up a new release movie with REWIND REVIEWS and reviewed the new film as well, I'll go ahead and RANK them from WORST to BEST!
RECASTS- This is where I take a new release movie and shift its release date by a decade or two and RECAST the movie with actors from that time.I also talk a bit about how I think the film would have looked and felt during that era and discuss who might have directed the movie and why.
5 THINGS STILL GREAT ABOUT- This is a new segment looking back at videos game of old and instead of reviewing them and pulling them apart for their dated graphics and game play, instead I look at what is STILL GREAT about the game. Fun, light-hearted and hopefully gets you looking at older games in a new light.
TOP 10's-Coming in a month or so I'll be adding TOP 10's to the agenda. These will either countdown to from 10-1 or I may make them simply 10 moments in no particular order.
