Ant-Man (2015)



All the movies in the MCU have a little comedy in them. With the exception of Guardians of the Galaxy most of the movies however rely heavily on the action to pull people in. Ant-Man is much more relatable to Guardians of the Galaxy from that point. The jokes come flying from everyone, most notably Michael Peña.

I admit before even hearing about this movie I had no idea who Scott Lang was. To me, Ant-Man was Hank Pym, and that's all I knew. Although it was great to be introduced to a new character, I thought it was amazing that hey pay homage to the original Ant-Man with a flashback of Hank in the suit; also for the ride was Wasp; which of course everyone freaked out about.

Avenger : Age of Ultron (2015)



Finally the long awaited sequel to the Avengers have arrived and let me start out my saying what a show! The excitement and expectations were so high for this one and it did not disappoint!

Every single addition to Marvel’s Cinematic Universe stands to culminate in an epic team-up otherwise known as the Avengers. The problem with this is that there is a lot of build-up involved. Three years have passed since the last Avengers film, that’s about five films so far. There’s a lot of pressure riding on writer/director Joss Whedon to deliver what he did last time that grossed Disney and Marvel over one billion dollars worldwide. I mean, let’s face it; we know it’s going to be awesome. But just how awesome will it be, and will it live up to our already sky-high expectations?

One thing that I feel as this movie's disappointment is those promotional clips, and early shed details have showed so much that it feels that there's only little surprise left in the story elements. Although I should say the Hawkeye twist is a neat one. The other thing that feels weird is how Natasha Romanoff is placed in connection to previous movies. She's with Bruce Banner here, when instead we saw her implying something with Hawkeye at the first Avengers movie, and last year with Steve Rogers in The Winter Soldier.
