Ant Man. July 2015

The foremost being, why was Stoll so crazy? Ithinkthe scene where Stoll atomizes his insufficiently mercenary lieutenant had to originally be later in the movie - 1)Why would Stoll be surprised when the test sheep got atomized, if he already knew and used the technology, and 2) Him going crazy from unshielded pym particles andthenatomizing the lieutenant hangs together logically better. I suspect test audiences didn't hate Stoll early enough, so the scene got moved up.

Then there's the weirdness at the end fight. It _looks_ like there were two different versions of the sequence that got mashed together, with strong suggestions that in one version, Yellowjacket ran out of pym particles and was stuck small until he defeated Ant-Man and took his particles (remember, Ant-Dog is created when Ant-Man throws grow-discs at YJ - why would that matter if YJ could just shrink again; the sole canister of YJ's gold-colored serum is given central prominence in a number of the helicopter scene shots, implying that was supposed to be important), but then all of a sudden he's big and threatening the daughter again.

I loved that Hank would throw a punch at the drop of the hat?.very fitting lol
Rudd was great in this roll, classic Rudd.
Action was solid, CGI seamless. A few good laughs to set the mode.

Evangeline Lily?s Hope character made no sense, showed no motivations and was the biggest train wreck of the movie imo. I don?t know if it was the hair cut or wrinkles, but when did she get not hot? The character also seemed to do a 180 but it was never explained. She kicked Hank out of his own company? Then plotted with him to steal/destroy the tech created by the guy she seated into power. No remorse or comment on why she voted out hank? I think they explained that she went back to Hank after learning about the Yellow jacket project but if that is the case it makes no sense for them to ?bond? over destroying the ?pym particle? but not reveal what happened to Janet. At first I was hoping it was one big long con for cross, but that does not even make much sense. Speaking of no sense, I guess the movies over so time to make out! Sure we kinda hated each other and had no moments other then a 10 second car convo about who was expendable.

Also, stop giving movie chars 8 seconds to put on ultra high tech super suits and having them do it. How the hell did YJ even get his suit on, and also be so good at using it on his first go? Would have been way better for Lang to only have one leg in the suit when the cop turns the corner and as he fumbles for his keys he gets it on and poofs..

Don?t get me wrong, I liked it and will see it again..but it had a few weak spots.
