This movie leaves me with mixed feelings. I can't even describe it as mediocre, because what it does well, it does GREAT. But it's like 1/3 brilliant to 2/3 lazy, and it's FRUSTRATING.

I have a feeling that MCU Ant-Man will either surprise us all and turn out to be amazing, and everyone will flock to it and it'll be a mega-hit like GOTG, or it will be Marvel's first bomb.

It sounds like we will be getting three different black guys in the next Avengers movie. ( SPOILERS )
