Marvel movies are never about storytelling

I struggled for a long time before I decided to go to the cinema. Marvel's movies don't have much to think about. The theme is always superheroes, and the selling point is always special effects. Watching Marvel's movies is like making an appointment. After you're done, you're done, and there's nothing else. It is bound to get boring after a long time. Even so, in the end, I did not resist the temptation to be cool.
This "Ant-Man" continues Marvel's usual rude and straightforward story structure. A movie, 120 minutes, about one thing - how Ant-Man was born. The setting of the male protagonist is similar to that of "Spider-Man", and the little person becomes a big hero who is responsible for saving the world by fate. This setting is like Cinderella to women, it pierces the little hearts of all men with heroic dreams. Fortunately, this film depicts a down-to-earth people's hero. The male protagonist Scott put on the armor not because he wanted to save the world because he was hot-headed. He had a more acceptable reason-I wore the armor to fight monsters. , in order to win the visitation rights of her daughter from her ex-girlfriend, and by the way, she can despise her ex-girlfriend's current police husband. This setting hits all daddies with babies again. The characters themselves are not very recognizable. After reading it, people feel that the male protagonist can be the A male, B male, C male, any ordinary man around you. Or it is because of this that it can better explain what a small person is, and it also makes the audience feel more involved.
Let's talk about the villain who wears armor and looks like the Bumblebee in "Transformers". Still a fanatic who wants to sell weapons to become the richest man in the world. Has a bad guy's standard smirk, chaotic emotions, and an IQ that's too high but low. His existence is to give the male protagonist a reason to wear armor to train his combat effectiveness. The portrayal of the character itself is too formal and too pale.
This movie doesn't really have a female protagonist. If not, I think it is a small public move. The main reason why the male protagonist and ant are friends is because he can look at Xiao Gong and raise one more glance. Lolita is the key to the birth of Ant-Man. But Evangeline Lilly has too many scenes to ignore. The only thing that impresses me in the whole movie is her muscular body with a flat chest, and her forbearance but unmoving tears (or the one who doesn't love princes but only dwarfs in The Hobbit. It's even more touching when she cries). Hope and Scott's relationship is zero. Hope and her father, Professor Pym, had a long-standing relationship, just to give Professor Pym a little more convincing reason to choose Scott. The emotional line of the entire movie is just to serve the plot to the point where it seems logical. The movie just made a rough explanation, and did not focus on the portrayal.
The male protagonist's little friends and eagle eyes are almost born for laughs.
There are not too many bugs in the plot of the whole film, the setting of characters makes the audience feel full of substitution, and the setting of laughing points is also very suitable for Chinese tastes. However, special effects are the treasure of Marvel's town house. This movie has made a breakthrough in the audience's perception due to the change of the main perspective.
In this era when true love is not easy to come by, and gun friends are everywhere, as a vulgar person without lofty pursuits, for the enjoyment of perception, I will continue to chase Marvel movies. After all, spending 8.8 yuan to buy a movie ticket is better than finding gun friends. Much easier.

Ant-Man quotes

  • Scott Lang: Sir, I'm sorry I stole the suit. I don't even wanna know why you have it.

    Hank Pym: Maggie was right about you.

    Scott Lang: How do you know about...

    Hank Pym: No wonder she's trying to keep you away from Cassie. The moment things get hard, you turn right back to crime. The way I see it, you have a choice. You can either spend the rest of your life in prison, or go back to your cell and await further instructions.

    Scott Lang: I don't understand.

    Hank Pym: No, I don't expect you to. But you don't have many options right now, and quite frankly, neither do I. Why do you think I let you steal that suit in the first place?

    Scott Lang: What?

    [flashback showing Hank setting things in motion]

    Hank Pym: Second chances don't come around all that much. So next time you think you might see one, I suggest you take a real close look at it.

  • Scott Lang: [after his boss learns about his criminal record] Dale, look, it wasn't a violent crime. I mean, I'm a good worker.

    Dale: No, it wasn't a violent crime. It was a cool crime. I'll tell you what, though. This will be totally off the books, off the records, but, uh, if you want to grab one of those, uh, Mango Fruit Blasts on your way out the door, I'll just pretend I didn't see it.
