Luis is pretty lame.

Wow, they actually made me feel sympathetic for an ant dying. Good job.

FINALLY he puts the Yellow Jacket suit on. Ok, this climax is pretty great. I love the switches between regular size and tiny in this instance. Since both combatants are able to switch sizes, it makes the changes all the more fun and less worth thinking about. It is a little interesting how Paul Rudd just jumps around the place and looks like he's flying, but he's just jumpin around. Why does he have wings installed in his suit? Why did the Wasp have wings but not the Ant? Seems like an oversight, there.

All of the stuff they're throwing around while small being shown to just be a toy flying around the room at normal size is pretty hilarious.

Hahaha he flew by a tardigrade. Man, this movie is an acid trip. Like I said, the subatomic shrinking was a Chekhov's gun.

Stan Lee as bartender in Luis's story. I was wondering when they'd bring him in. Really effective. Stan Lee always works the best when he has a quick appearance in a non-speaking role.

Aaaaand it looks like the AVENGERS are looking for Paul Rudd. Will he make a showing in Avengers, 2.5 Civil War? Perhaps he will!

Post-credits scene... YUP CALLED IT HOPE IS GONNA BE THE WASP (white anglo-saxon protestant)

Alright, so... wait, second post-credits scene?!

BUCKY

"The Accords"? That sure sounds like something that won't be important at all to the plot of the next Avengers movie.

Alright, so... the movie was a little rough to start. It felt pretty clear throughout that it was a film where the directing didn't always match with the writing. But it wasn't done that poorly. Most of the bad moments were paced out far enough with good inbetween, so it didn't ruin the movie like Iron Man 2's bad moments did.

It was an interesting take on Pym, but once again, better than having abusive jerkface Pym. I kinda like old, badfather Pym. Hope was solid too... like most things with this movie, the first act really didn't sell me on her, but as things got developed, her character was shown to be well-written and pretty badass. Way better than Iron Man 2's Black Widow.

Darren Cross aka Yellowjacket... was kinda boring. He wasn't bad. The guy was a jerk. Seemed to fittingly be a Hank Pym that DID become an asshole. Seems a little dumb that they said the whole "particles mess with brain chemistry" as a way to explain him turning evil. Why not just have him be evil? He was obsessed with proving himself to be better than Pym... just elaborate on that goal and obsession and show how it forces him to sacrifice his own humanity. I mean, he just flat out killed a guy in the beginning. He was clearly an ass. Particles my ass.

Paul Rudd, as himself, was a pretty good character too. I mean, thief with a heart of gold is a tiring trope, but it's easy to ignore that and just focus on him being himself. My suspension of disbelief was ruined, however, by them featuring Paul Rudd as a featured character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. What are they going to do next, have John McCain get to be the Rhino in the next Spiderman movie?

Get it? Because RINO?

Anyway, I enjoyed this movie more than I expected to. It was rough, but at its core it had a lot of great elements. Even if the story and writing wasn't the best, the spectacle of effects, exploring the small world, ants, etc... were all very worth seeing.
