====== Ant-Man ====== **//Ant-Man//** is a 2015 superhero action film from Marvel Studios. Directed by [[peyton]], the film stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang AKA Ant-Man and [[gregg]] as [[dale]]. Despite the star power, thrills, and chills, the film has received one of the lowest ratings of any movie reviewed on //[[ocatc]]//, a measly one bag of popcorn. The film began a [[antman_series|series of films]], and has received at least one sequel, with //[[antman3]]// releasing in 2023, while the status of 2018's //[[antman2]]// as an official sequel is disputed. ===== Synopsis ===== Scott Lang applies for a job at Baskin-Robbins in order to get his life back on track after being jailed for three years, having stolen from his old company Vistacorp. Things go well at Baskin-Robbins until [[dale]], the manager, finds out that Scott omitted the arrest on his job application. Dale admired him for the burglary from such a big company, but due to corporate policy, still had to fire him. Dale, being the hero he is, allows Scott to "steal" a smoothie on the way out. If it wasn't for those encouraging words of support from Dale, Scott may have never had the spirit to break into another big house with his former cellmates and find the suit that made him Ant-Man. As Ant-Man, he saves the day from some big world-ending event with some ants or something. ===== Rating ===== The film was reviewed on //On Cinema at the Cinema// [[s07e01|season 7, episode 1]], along with //[[fantasticfour]]//, where it received a disastrous 1 bag of popcorn total from [[tim|Tim]] and Gregg combined. Tim decried the movie as "real trash" and that "every person involved with the film including the actors, even the small parts" should be ashamed. Gregg, wearing a blurred out //Ant-Man// shirt, recused himself from reviewing the movie as he did not feel it was fair to rate something where he had such a major role, something Tim didn't feel was a problem when he gave //Fantastic Four// 6 bags of popcorn. **Tim's rating:** 1 bag of popcorn **Gregg's rating:** Did not review due to conflict of interests ===== Trivia ===== * Peyton Reed appeared on the [[oscar3]] to announce that he had cast Gregg in a role for the film. ===== [META] Trivia ===== * According to Paul Rudd, Kevin Feige, the Marvel Studios chief, is a major fan of //On Cinema//. {{tag>ant-man movies}}
