Palmer is DC's shrinking hero, the Atom, but the Arrow producers wanted a generic superscience character and have only teased that Palmer might use his super suit to shrink some day. For now, though they still call him "the Atom," he's pretty much an Iron Man rip-off.<br /><br />Sam, apart from family duty there's no special reason to rush to Ant-Man unless you're really into the whole Marvel thing, and there's nothing mandatory about that.<br /><br />KLG Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-52254445422718933272015-08-02T22:13:37.853-04:002015-08-02T22:13:37.853-04:00I am in no rush to see this film, though my kids a...I am in no rush to see this film, though my kids are chomping at the bit. Sounds like the ensemble and other issues are not calling out for decisive action. A terrific piece of writing here.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-65051742948815948522015-08-02T21:37:41.941-04:002015-08-02T21:37:41.941-04:00As I wrote in my review, I think there are some el...As I wrote in my review, I think there are some elements of Wright's that were left in, though I can't tell which, since I haven't seen any of Wright's films. Rudd was servicable, but this wasn't on the same level as Guardians of the Galaxy last year. Like Guardians, they began teasing a romantic subplot, which went a bit further here than it did in Guardians.<br /><br />The only other alternative would've been to make this an animated cartoon, something Marble is loathe to even attempt at this point. On the other hand, DC would see the box office success of this film, and maybe they can green-light an Atom film, which has a better backstory....hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.com
