I think Ant Man pretty much sums up why I tend to like Marvel movies better than DC (although I do love the Dark Knight movies). Marvel knows how to have fun, and Ant Man was a ton of fun. It's like it knows that the idea of Ant Man - a man who can become tiny and control ants - is rather a silly concept, and rather than even try to take it seriously, it goes to town with that silliness. It's not the most powerful of the Marvel movies, but in a way that's kind of a breath of fresh air after so much epicness with the previous movies. It was nice to have something more small (no pun intended) and contained, doing its own thing in it's own little world with only a few shout outs to the MArvel universe, rather than making it about the Marvel universe.
(And if you didn't like it or were meh about it, that's totally fine, but... er... please no anti-squee coments? I've been running into a lot of negativity towards movies in general, lately, and I'm kind of tired of it. Mind you, I'm incredibly easy to please when it comes to movies, and I can hand-wave and explain like nobody's business. What usually bothers people about a movie rarely ever bothers me, and it takes a lot, I mean
a lot, for me to even remotely dislike a movie. Mostly because I always have a good sense of what I'll like and what I should avoid, and it's a sense that's never steered me wrong. But, anyway, I digress, and the point is I'd much rather squee than nit-pick.)
