No kidding, for a teaser a lot of footage and most of the Paul Rudd single shots were bad. I am hoping the full trailer sells us as heist film. Was listening to Sam Raimi Nerdist podcast there other day. He said he wanted to do a heist movie.
Teaser trailers are't basically two minutes. I don't understand the difference between trailers and teaser trailers nowadays. Teasers used to be either really fucking short (like 30 seconds), audio only, flashbacks to other movies, not 2 minutes of new footage. Makes no sense to me. Like Episode VII was a teaser trailer. Quick cuts of random scenes just showing off new characters. I can't even tell you the focus of this "teaser."
I'm intrigued. I'll say that. But, I agree. The trailer was all over the place tone wise. The humor at the end seemed out of place. But, I really forward to this regardless. Marvel has get to make anything actually BAD. I doubt that this will be.
they had, for ex: Thor 2 lost its original director. according to Joss Whedon production on Avengers was too rushed. nobody wanted to write the first Iron Man, forcing them to film without a finished script.
Looks fucking awful from the trailer. Super excited to eat crow when it turns out good to great (please be good to great )

And just because of one trailer when there is at least one or two more yet to air. I’m curious if this trailer was done more to focus on Scott Lang as Ant-Man and demonstrate his shrinking power.
Well, to be fair, that's the entire point of trailers, especially mini teasers like this: to get a reaction and judgement pass. So for as many people that are allowed to proclaim "OMG IT LOOKS AWESOME AND WILL RULE!!!" based on what they were shown, just as many people are also allowed to proclaim "eh, it looks awful and uninteresting" based on what they were shown. Obviously opinions can & will change on both sides once more trailers come out and the movie itself is actually released, but right now, the naysayers are just as validated in their opinion as the ones showing excitement.
it's just funny how if an initial trailer doesn't set the world on fire, the entire film is immediately considered a giant pile of fail by some people. EDIT: Here's the thing about Ant-Man - this is by far the riskiest project Marvel has undertaken. Even more than Thor, even more than GOTG. I'm speaking from the non-comic book reading side of things. Even if you take out all the much-publicized drama surrounding the production, you still have the source material, which IMHO is going to be a lot harder for the general non-comic readers to accept. People are going to need to slowly be introduced to the concept of a regular and normal-sized guy who can now somehow shrink down to the size of a bug and still do normal-sized guy stuff. This was the purpose of the Ant-Man trailer. To basically give everyone not familiar with the source material a rough outline of what this is all about. You can't throw the entire thing at people right up front, because it's pretty ridiculous even compared to the other Marvel films.
I just realized that this movie is going to have the first major superhero father. Superman Returns doesn't count because Superman didn't know about the kid, and he doesn't help raise him.
Trailer's awful and makes the movie look bland and uninteresting, buuuuuut Marvel movies in general have awful trailers, so I'm not going to write this off until I see it. ...I'm sorry are you seriously trying to argue that "guy who shrinks and punches stuff" is more out there and harder to swallow then a Star Wars-type movie with a raccoon and a treeman, and a sci-fi/fantasy epic starring a Norse god who throws his hammer around and shoots lightning? Dude, shrinking is not even close to being new to the general audience. There have been countless movies with that premise. The only new part is that he can still pounch real good but if you can make people accept that he can shrink, that really isn't an issue. I'll be majorly surprised if people really need as much easing into it as you seem to think.
Thank you for making my point for me. The movie-going public has decades of aliens in movies under their belt. GOTG was just the latest in a long line of them. So yes, I do think it was much easier to swallow than a guy who goes around riding on bugs but has the strength of a normal man. Speaking from a non-comic book reading point of view, that is.
The movie looks good. No where near the level of age of ultron. I don't think this will be a bad movie at all but it might be on the lower end of mcu movies. This movie might be like ironman 1 we disn't know much of how this world was going to be and it might be a lot better then what we originally expected.
Wow, this trailer is 100% uninteresting. It doesn't tell me anything about what/why/where. Maybe it does, it's just clouded by it's boringness.
Except like he mentioned we already have a man who invented a suit of armour that's more ahead of the time we're at now,a scientist who grows into a green humanoid monster when angry from radiation even though radiation doesn't work that way in real life,a god like being who shoots thunderbolts from the sky and a soldier that's been enhanced with drugs that seems fantasical which before the MCU would sound nonsensical to non fans until Marvel showed them otherwise. I don't see how a man that can shrink into the size of an ant will be any different.
