I enjoy discussing characters, and so I wanted to point out my recent post at Comparative Geeks today. I went to see the Ant-Man movie on Friday and I loved it. So much it seems, that I can’t stop talking about it! I wrote a review on Sourcerer, and I plan on reviewing the latest comic featuring the delightful Scott Lang. But I’d love to know your thoughts – on Scott, or on superheroes in general. Stop by and join the conversation!
Real Name: Scott Lang

Abilities: Scott has expertise in electronics.

You make me want to see that movie. I’ve loved a lot of the Marvel Comics movies and been ambivalent to others (like a few of the Batman movies–too dark).
This movie is mostly light, with a few big laughs – I’m sure you’ll have fun. Let me know if you watch it. I’d love to know what you think 😀
That was such a fun movie. I have no idea why people were so down on it! I’ve seen all the Marvel movies, and this is one of my favourites. Paul Rudd is excellent at playing the everyman, and there were so many great laughs in there while still maintaining the heart. Plus, Michael Pena! That guy is amazing. Really looking forward to seeing Ant-Man come back!
I completely agree with you. I’ve read a few reviews over the last couple of days and it feels like they were describing a different movie! Michael Pena was amazing – it’s a top cast. And I’m really looking forward to seeing Scott again too 😀
