#AntMan #MovieReaction #FirstTimeWatching
What a fun movie! I remember being an Ant-Man fan back in the day. Hank and his wife Janet, the Wasp, were original members of the Avengers in the comics. I honestly didn't know if it would succeed as a film, but it was a hit! Paul Rudd was perfect in this role, and Michael Peña as Luis was so much fun.
The big surprise to me was the fact that Paxton turns out to be a good guy and embrace the ex-con ex-husband of his new wife into his family. They could have so easily just made him a jerk and played it for laughs.
The Ant-Man trilogy might lowkey be my favorite. Paul Rudd is just so damn charismatic, and the movies are all full of rare things like the positive family dynamics you see from a divorced couple that you almost never see in any media. The Ant-Man movies are just so full of charm, heart, and comedy that they never fail to put a smile on my face. Loved seeing your reaction and have really been enjoying your other reactions as well once I discovered you scrolling around on youtube. Keep up the good work! ❤❤❤
I agree about the Ant Man films. I also love the Guardians series. The humor, the focus on people not blood relation being family, and the third film (no spoilers) has a character arc by a male lead that shows some serious personal growth.
Such a great reaction, one of my favorite MCU movies too!
Its in my top three MCU movies
When you mentioned liking seeing everything from the small perspective it got me thinking of another flick. If you want a light hearted family comedy sometime, give “Honey I Shrunk The Kids” a watch. 👍🏻
Such a fun movie and reaction! There's another movie from 1966 "Fantastic Voyage", where scientists shrink a crew , in a submarine and they travel through the human body . Good effects for its time.
Love your comments so far, always fun to revisit the MCU movies with fresh perspectives such as yours :) Just a side note here, but the debut of Ant-Man makes me think of a classic movie from 1987 called Innerspace, with Dennis Quaid and Martin Short. It's a sci-fi comedy that IMO what Ant-Man draws inspiration from.
18:56 "Why not her? Why won't you let her do it?"
Well, first, let me point out that using the suit entails risk for whoever wears it. Hank prevents Hope from wearing the suit because his instincts as a father compel him to _protect_ her. But second, as they reveal later in the movie, there _is_ some backstory, there.
Phase 1-3 was SOOOOO good, minus maybe one or two movies, but it was such a great series of movies. Lots of projects that sounded ludicrous and shouldn't have worked and turned out to be some fans' favorite movies of the series, like Guardians of the Galaxy. A lot of people were thinking about if this movie was going to be bad or not before it came out thinking "Ant-man? Paul Rudd as a superhero...? Ehh, I don't know about that", it was another hit.
Agreeeeeeed!!
Nice! So Yellowjacket only "Kinda" looks like a monster? How can you rank these? They are all so well done! The actors chosen, detailed dialogue and scenes and Cinematography!! Haven't seen one reactor notice Luis whistling "It's A Small World After All". Abby Ryder Fortson award winning as Cassie!! You're going to absolutely love 💕 the next one. Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
Someone mentioned this in the comment before but i LOVED that you still remembers what happened in the previous Marvel movies. Like when Hank mentioned "They're probably busy dropping cities out of the sky." n you immediately went "Age of Ultron".
As you've alrdy know that i'm a newcomer here n just recently caught up with your Marvel's journey/reaction. But i'll say it now....i'm going to enjoy all your Marvel movies reaction(including the upcoming ones😊). As always, enjoyable commentary(i'm really sorry to say this but i always love your laughter) n great reaction, Ma'am Cristy!☺️ Glad you enjoyed n loved this one!
Aw thank you! Honestly it’s easy to remember because I’ve been so involved!
@@CristyReacts I don't know if you are going to see this but where you are on the playlist right now you should watch spider man 1,2, and 3 and also amazing spider man 1 and 2
As the old saying goes the best gifts come in small packages! This is the best reaction to Ant Man currently on YT, as most of the mega reactors have ignored it, so thanks for this Cristy! Loved the way you lit up when your fave the Falcon showed up midway through the film (lots more of him to come in the MCU, too!). If you liked this one you won't believe the action coming up in the sequel when Hope joins the team as The Wasp. Buckle up because now that Phase 1 is complete you are in for one heck of a ride! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!! 🍗
7:52 "He's so _ugly!_ I _love_ him!"
😄 The man knows his daughter.
14:10 the guy in the car was on Saturday night live back in the late 70's/early 80's. They did a skit where it was a super hero party like super man, hulk, flash ect like big name super hero's were at this party with their girls, the guy in the car showed up as ant man and everyone at the party made fun of him, it's a funny little Easter egg they put in the movie.
Great reaction to my FAVORITE MCU movie! Mainly, because it echoed what comics were when I was a kid (I'm 55 so I'll let you do that math) where the stories were local and personal, so more relatable in many ways, to the reader. Scott could be the guy who lived down the street, and that was partly because he was a relatively normal guy who was just trying to do all he could to take care of the ones who mattered the most in his life (his daughter Cassie) and his story is basically a human interest one instead of a multi-galaxy spanning war against impossible odds. But this is the MCU, and Thanos is out there, so we'll get back to that in the next movies. 😛
Aw, give Dale a break. This situation reminds me of a situation a friend of mine was in when he worked for a company in California. He had to fire the hardest working guy on his crew because the dude had done a year for basically a Class E felony (the lowest level of felony) when he was 19, and he was almost 40 at the time when he worked on my friend's crew. But once corporate found out, he was gone immediately. It's hard to get a life back once someone has done felony time.
Luis is awesome, especially the erratic way he tells his stories. Which I personally understand since I've been accused of letting my random thoughts run away with a story I'm telling. I like the other two of the "three wombats" as well. Kurt is great with his fears of Gypsies/Baba Yaga and Dave cracks me up all the time.
Still love that the car Scott lands on in his first test run with the suit belongs to a man played by the actor Garrett Morris, who played Ant-Man in a Saturday Night Live sketch around 1980 (where the other superheroes mocked Ant-Man for having lame super powers).
I loved that there was some real confusion, for many people, as to why Hank wouldn't let Hope wear the suit, but after hearing the story of Janet (which explained the opening scene violence too) it made sense. It was also a very human reaction too, which was one thing the best era (1940s-1980s) of Marvel Comics was known for: they wrote a lot of stories about humans in ways that humans would understand. Wanda's fears, Steve's drive to overcome his limitations, Natasha's desire to try to make up for all the bad she did, Tony's discovery of life's meaning and then his battles with PTSD (and alcoholism in the comics), Scott's desire to be a good father for his little girl, all those kinds of stories that were real life that the readers could see in their own lives. That's what helped make comics relatable, even if the stories were about amazingly powerful people doing impossible things. The real life reflections made them seem real. That's why I burned a lot of my chore/lawn mowing money on comic books when I was young.
And remember, One-Punch Luis is the only guy who ever knocked Peachy out (at the prison 'going away' ceremony). 😀He's almost a superhero too. 😀
Possibly my favorite thing about this movie as that Paxton (the cop fiance) is a good guy. He's trying to do his job and trying to take care of his fiancee and his soon-to-be stepdaughter and he's still completely willing to try to give Scott a chance. And, at the end, they're kind of in a buddy-buddy relationship. That was the coolest thing for me because it's a trope to have either the bio father or the stepfather be this horrible person, but instead they were just real people who were looking at the big picture of what was best for Cassie. And the mom/Scott's ex was too. That's how it should be.
If you like the planning and pulling off of a heist movie, my favorite unknown heist of all time is Disorganized Crime. You really should watch it!
This is, along with Guardians, one of the hardest to imagine working as a movie and both were amazing. It's got great humor (Luis is one of the greatest in the entire saga), incredible action, and keeps the stakes appropriately small (pun intended). I love that the final fight is almost entirely in a kid's bedroom.
The sequel is very strong too!
Great reaction! I've been meaning to say, I appreciate the editing and how the length of your reactions have gotten longer each time. It really allows you to fit in a lot from the movie. Some cool tid bits, the original director was post to be Edgar Wright but unfortunately he and Marvel Studios had some "creative differences" during pre-production and decided to go separate ways. The slightly sad thing was Edgar Wright had actually tried to get Ant-Man made for years (even before Marvel Studios was originally around) because he was a huge fan of the character. He originally made some test footage that was "leaked" to internet to gauge how much fans wanted to see a movie. He had the original idea for a Heist film, but I think he wanted to make it all a single film, nothing really connected with the MCU. By the time the interest came around, the MCU was pretty popular and had to also fit in extra narratives for the MCU. And I think I already mentioned it, but in the original comics, Hank Pym actually created Ultron.
Hey friend!! Good to see you around here! Thanks for all the fun facts:)
Another fun reaction, Cristy! It’s great seeing you progress thru the MCU. There’s still so much fun stuff ahead.
One thing about the end-credit scene with Cap and the Falcon. (I don’t think this would be considered a spoiler at all.) I’ve seen other reviewers be a bit confused at the scene as they assume it is happening *now*. What that scene was was a glimpse at a future scene in a later Marvel movie. You’ll eventually see scenes that lead up to that scene, and then when this scene plays again in the movie, the dialogue and situation will be a lot more clear. :-)
Keep up the awesome reaction videos! ❤
(At 16:35) They're called "bullet ants" for a reason The pain they inflict is nearly as painful as getting shot by an ACTUAL bullet. But, I can't tell if that's just the mandibles biting or the stingers (Yes, like bees, all ants have stingers on their abdomens) piercing.
" I love organised crime!" R/outofcontextCristy
Another great fun reaction.
Cristy, you are the best!!!! Keep the reviews coming :)
14:10 - That actor is Garrett Morris, the OG Ant-Man who was the first to portray the superhero on screen (specifically on SNL Season 4).
I love this movie so much. Makes me happy when I find others who enjoyed it as well 🙌🏼
In the comic books Hank Pym was the one who created Ultron. A lot of the characters in the MCU all the secondary versions. Like the MCU guardians of the Galaxy are the second version and Scott Lang Ant-Man is the second version. The MCU went with the second version because Hank Pym is more of a scientist he doesn't care about being a superhero the only reason he was because of his wife Janet van dyne was a shield agent then convinced him to join. Also in the movie he says if you don't have a specialized helmet like heals the PYM particles would effect your brain chemistry. Like it already did which caused him to attack Janet which also happens in the comic books and and still have outbursts of rage.
Nice nvp8191. Now I need to somehow find out PYM's version of making Ultron and was there a Vision character also involved. ☮️
Spoiler alert: Yes Hank pym's version of Ultron created vision but there was another character involved who provided the brain scan and why he eventually falls in love with Wanda. The character was called Wonder Man and he's getting his own series coming out in the next few years.
I don't think any of the series have been canceled only change directions. For example something that was supposed to be a series could now become a special presentation instead or a featured series now will go under the spotlight series banner with no connection to the main MCU storyline.
@@nvp8191 Awesome 😎 Thank You! ☮️
9:20 😄Don't you love the way Luis tells stories?
Yesss he’s the best. What a cool character for this film.
Everyone wanted Luis to do a recap of the entire MCU before Endgame came out. Sadly we didn't get it. How cool would a retelling of the entire story be from Luis perspective.
I love it that you came into all this blind, and then fell in love with it!! 💖💖
(At 34:35) first it exploded, THEN it imploded.
Ants are everywhere, they make up like 15-20% of the entire biomass of all living creatures on the planet. For every human on Earth, there's estimated to be about 2.5 million ants - or 20 quadrillion in total.
Thats what I loved about this movie. The fun uniqueness
Hi Christy!😊 Great reactions to the very well-made Ant-Man film!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
If you like heist movies then I recommend Ocean's 11, 12 & 13!
10:27 I like how Ant Man escapes between the legs, advantages of being tiny 🤣🤏
"I love organized crime" 😂
(Paraphrased and taken out of context, this is the best quote of the day!)
I mean… Is it crime? And did you have to plan/organize it? 😝 I rest my case hahah
You should check out “The Sting” from 1973. It’s a classic.
Don’t know if you noticed…while Dr Pym was giving the group the notice at the table meeting with Howard Stark, the lady at the table was Steve Roger’s (Captain America) girl Peggy. Remember Peggy and Howard were founding members of S.H.I.E.L.D. Cheers
12:18-12:25 It is _possible_ that they had applied different formulas to each of the subjects, and would keep track of which formula changed the result [simplified example, 35-A had iron and Vitamin B boosters, 35-B had Iron and Magnesium boosters, 35-C then had Magnesium and Vitamin D boosters, then if one of these had a different result (better or worse) they would further explore that path as a basis for another series of tests. And I'm using simple vitamins and minerals as an example for the sake of explaining the concept] I have no idea if this is how his project is progressing, but it would be an example of how without changing the equipment between test subjects, could still have different results.
13:25 You caught that quickly. That's one of the rules they play very loosely with. It gets explained later what the Pym Particles do, but the explanation doesn't explain things like "why he broke the tile as though he was still heavy, but the flow of running bathwater could catapult him over the top of the bathtub" I guarantee there wasn't even 32 pounds of water (about 4 gallons) when it hit a tiny object weighing over 100 pounds.
Example Shown at 13:37 If falling from the top of a bathtub causes him to break a ceramic tile, what should the same falling from the ceiling onto a vinyl record do to the record and record player (turntable)? 13:50 what kind of generic household vacuum cleaner can pick him and launch him a dozen feet through a window?
The suit is called The Yellowjacket. It can be very important in arcing stories like the MCU that you keep names straight. Janet (Hank's wife, Hope's mother) was The Wasp
. I'm a little disappointed you didn't make mention of the inconsistency of the size/mass issue. It really detracted from the movie for me, and I thought when you made the observation of him breaking the ceramic tile, you'd catch onto the inconsistency and at least acknowledge it. Over all, it's a fun movie, and I can't really expect *perfect* logic in such a genre, but I do appreciate when they establish a rule to live by. When they break it, they need a better reason than "advances the plot" or "it'll be funny" to me.
CRISSY: For some GREAT "Heist" Movies, There's George Clooney's "Ocean's 11", "Ocean's 12" and "Ocean's 13".... AWESOME Ensemble casting!
If you like it with Illusionists, there's Mark Ruffalo's "Now you See Me" and "Now you see me 2",
and for F&F style, there's Ryan Reynold's "6 Underground"...
ALL of them are Spectacular!
Quick Change, Bill Murray.
Isn’t Ant-Man just a fancy word for “uncle”?
Thats my “dad joke” of the day.
Well played, sir. Well played.
🤓🫶🏼
Cristy, another heist movie is the Great Muppet Caper (1981) , hope you like it
Another awesome reaction, Cristy!
Thanks friend!!! 🙏🏼
"I love organized crime!" another unintentionally funny statement! Keep'em coming!
Enjoying your reactions , "In like Flint" was a spy/comedy movie in the '60s
0:50 what even is his power? Does he build ant hills wth intricate tunnel systems underneath?
I really love that 😂
Love this movie as long as I don’t think about how much they setup how the suit shrinks without changing the mass of an object, but then they toss that rule out the window over and over. Best example is Hank carrying a 26 ton tank in his pocket on a keychain.
Oh shit I guess you’re right…?! I didn’t think of that!!
yes Ant-Man is awesome movie.
Aunt-Man!
A man with all the powers of an aunt!
🤓🤓🤓
Another great video! Love your bald guy = bad guy observation 👍 I don't know why i never saw it before. Can't wait for Captain America civil war! One of my favorites.
Oooooohhh that’s next!!
Fun little Marvel/DC crossover moment at the beginning when Hank pulled a Will Smith. "You mention my wife again... " 😉
Luis is the best!
Very fun reaction, as you can be relied upon for. I'm pretty frikkin excited for what's coming up next...
🤩
Ant-Man and the concept of the powers were created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, and Jack Kirby.
Cristy, i never read ant man, but for a long time, Hank Pym was Ant Man, the addition of Scott to being Ant Man i dont know when that was, but it might have been more recent
Hey Cristy!!! I'm glad you enjoyed Ant-Man. I kind of had a feeling that you would 😉I'm also pretty sure you will enjoy the next Ant-Man movie. Next up though is Captain America: Civil War. I can't wait for you to react to that one! I'm super excited 😁
Is it a good one? Lots of people seem super excited for it!
@CristyReacts Yes!!! I don't want to give anything away, but it's awesome 🙌🏼
@@CristyReacts It's amazing. Everything will change for you after this one..
In like Flynn….A reference to an old James Bond spy spoof/comedy called “In Like Flint”. A pretty good movie starring James Coburn as Derek Flint. Cheers
Great stuff. Regarding the 'he broke the tile'... lots of non comic book readers seems to get confused by this, even though it's explained earlier on: the shrunken person in the suit maintains the exact same mass. So, even though Scott is small here, the tile breaks exactly if it would if he had, for example, stomped on it with his heel at normal size...
Then why, if that is the case, did they not drop their pistols or suffer arm injury when he was jumping around on the barrels?
It’s not well explained in the movies. The regulator helps to shift mass so with practice they can change their apparent weight as well.
Good ups.
“I love organized crimes…”
The FBI taking notes
I was laughing when you keep calling Darren Cross The Wasp or The Wasp-Man when it was actually The Yellowjacket and The Wasp is another character/superhero who is Hank's wife Janet and to be later taken up their daughter Hope.
I love a good heist movie and this one made a perfect blend between a superhero and a heist movie.
Yesss exactly that. A perfect blend between these two awesome themes. Honestly the best mix.
Ant-Man is definitely top-tier Marvel for me. I won't lie, Captain America is my number 1 hero, though Loki is my number 1 Marvel character overall. Still, Ant-Man is probably right behind Cap. He has such a wonderful heart to his character, and I love it.
I love this movie and your reaction. Thank you!
🤩
If you enjoy heist movies you should check out the Ocean's movies, starting with Ocean's 11... the George Clooney version...
It just keeps getting better. Eventually Marvel does make some questionable choices but I still enjoy 90% of it and I still get excited. I'm looking forward to their future projects.
Like scott lang said it wasn't a robbery 😅 it was a cat burgerly
I cant wait for your civil war reaction!
If you like organized burglary/heist movies, you would LOVE "Ocean's Eleven"!!!
"It's not this easy."
As a former electronic security specialist I can tell you it's actually easier. Biometric locks are terrible. Extremely easy to trick.
Oh love this! Security breaches FTW!
As I started watching the marvel movies as they came out I was like how are they going to make this movie, even this I was like how are marvel going to make this movie and us it going to be good.
Random: Scott said "I burgled them", I thought that was british english and americans only said "burlarized". Is there a difference Im missing? Is it, "I got burlarized", but "I burgled them"?, because in the UK, you can BE burgled.
It was written in majority by Edgar Wright who is English, might explain why they use the British version?
Bilbo Baggins believes it's burgled.
It may be less common, but "burgled" is perfectly acceptable in American English.
This one was originally supposed to be in phase one. Edgar Wright is a huge fan and he had been trying to make an Antman movie for years. Unfortunately he wanted to make a stand alone movie not an MCU movie. So he dropped out. I would have liked to see his take but this is pretty good nonetheless.
No doubt takes some inspiration from "the Incredible Shrinking Man" film 1957.
Cristy please please please do the movie "Tombstone"!!!! Great cast, great movie about a true story. Youll thank me!!!
Another one “Now You See Me “
14:14 Honey I Shrunk the Kids 👍🏻👍🏻😂😂😂😂😂🤠🇺🇸
40:05 Anna Akana. She's got a channel here on YT.
Wasps are completely different from yellow jackets
I shave my head, not because I'm evil but my hair started receding when I was like 17... and it would be a compliment if that made your Spidey senses tingle 😮
Are you sure you don’t moonlight as a supervillain?
@@CristyReacts it was the mid 90's so it was just the beginning of guys shaving their heads so people thought I was being cool and rebellious when in actuality I was trying to not look like George Costaza while still in high school... all though I did have a blue Mohawk on my football pics that year..
Woohoo! Civil War incoming!
Cristy is so danG CUTE, eugh smh
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
10:48 - Actually, in some cases it's easier. I have defeated fingerprint locks using much less involved means. Not that I make a habit of such things, of course!
Oh f yeah!! Security breach FTW!
Have you seen Ocean’s 11 12 and 13? Modern version?
Check out the cartoon , the Bad Guys.
Bella! Or as the great Stan Lee put it, “crazy stupid fine!!“ 😂 Another gem of a reaction from one of my favorite reactors! Next up Civil War!!!
Aww Brad you flatter meeeeee!! I’m pumped for civil war 🙏🏼
46:01 Who is Antman? I have a better question, Why is Antman?
10:01 try watching Oceans Eleven
If you haven’t seen Oceans 11 or Confidence? These are a couple of the best Heist movies out there. Oh, and the Oceans 11 remake with Clooney and Pitt. Not the original.
Okaaaayyy fineeee! I’ll watch Oceans 11 😝
Great reaction as always. Now get ready and have some tissue with you for the next one just in case. Captain America Civil War changes EVERYTHING.
Ok ok noted!! 🙏🏼 thanks for the heads up, Tom:)
4:17 He used a fake name to get a job since he is an ex-con.
LMAO! You might want to rethink one of your comments. "I love organized crime, break-ins, heists..." Might give people the wrong impression...or the right one, depending.
I shave my head, and I'm not evil.
Mostly...ish. I guess. :)
Girl, you look like you have round Tassaracts in your eyes, it's gorgeous 🤩
This is like the best compliment anyone has ever given me. I mean it. Thank you🥹🥹
My only real complaint about these movies is they dumb down Scott. He isn't a genius like Hank or Tony but he does have a degree in engineering.
A master's degree in EE. That's a pretty smart guy. Sure, he won't have known previously all that much about subatomic physics, like with the Pym particles and such, but yeah, Scott Lang is no dummy.
I mean, he DOES figure out how to take out the safe door on the fly...
May I ask where you from cristy?
I'm from Colombia! Where are YOU from? :)
@@CristyReacts That's pretty awesome jus was curious :) I am from Canada
One thing I really enjoy about the MCU is they aren't just "Superhero movies", they are different genres with superheroes. Captain America: The Winter Soldier was a spy thriller. This was a heist movie, and a fun one at that.
their nothing like that anymore. mcu ended with endgame.
@@santos_collectorverse Shang Chi, GotG3, Moon Knight, Werewolf by Night... should I go on?
Hollywood doesn't cast bald white men unless it's to play a villain or some minor character nobody likes.
That is, unless their name is Patrick Stewart or Vin Diesel.
