Well, apparently little else in that movie matches the comics--thought I haven't seen the movie.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I finally saw Ant-Man! And enjoyed it quite a lot. It felt like a complete story, in a way a lot of the other MCU movies don't. And it was funny, and I always enjoy a heist.

I found it okay, but forgettable. I think Michael Douglas took the role just so he could be CGIed to look younger in his first scene.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
so he could be CGIed to look younger in his first scene.
That was CREEPY AS HELL. (Although, to be fair, I started finding Michael Douglas creepy at least 10 years ago because he started reminding me of my dad. So I found him creepy as current!old!Hank Pym, as well as CGIed Hank Pym.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I did like...well, appreciate the fact that they made Hank Pym kind of a violent jerk in the movie, instead of trying to make us comic geeks forget he was a violent jerk. They didn't hammer on the point, that would have just made us hate him, but it was there. Hank Pym = not ever actually a nice guy.

I'm pretty sure that Michael Douglas has never not been creepy.

He was hot in Streets of San Franscisco. But that was back in the 70s (ah, youth).

I was so freaked out about how young he looked in the cold open that I missed almost everything else. I barely noticed Peggy!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I just saw Ant-man yesterday and I enjoyed it a lot.
Youthful Michael Douglas didn't bother me. Peggy seemed a little too young for the time period, but she might have just aged well. I was surprised to see Howard, as I thought his death had occurred earlier than that.
