He probably thinks 'Scott Piglrim vs. the World' is an ATG movie and Wright a Kubrick then. Some people...I read someone in a youtube review who said he was not gonna watch the movie because Marvel fired Wright or something like that
That'll help it out some. The film seems to be entertaining the vast majority of those watching it.
Tons of laughs from the noon show I went to today. Sold out theater and plenty of clapping. My son doesn't seem to care for the Marvel flicks (aside from GOTG) and was in to this one. I'm hoping the word of mouth spreads. This movie doesn't strike me as particularly "buzzy" because of all of the negativity surrounding the production and the first trailer didn't wow everyone away but, sucks to that. Hoping for the best.That'll help it out some. The film seems to be entertaining the vast majority of those watching it.
The Ant-Man name doesn't ring a bell or drive people rushing for the theaters immediately like their bigger name heroes. I think most people thought a film about someone with that name would be lame. It's definitely not and it's going to be a pleasant surprise for many that give it a chance.Tons of laughs from the noon show I went to today. Sold out theater and plenty of clapping.

Oh, so that's how RT works? I didn't know that.
I don't get why 70% is bad but 80% is crap-your-pants fantastic. I mean, either way a majority of critics like the film.
Glad to see the movie is getting good reviews though.

Noone is being forced to see this movie. If they think Edgar Wright is God and the movie has nothing to it without his golden touch, then thats good for them. 99% of filmgoers have no clue who he is or know/care about the drama w/ him leaving the film.
Im not a huge fan of Wright, as Ive said I like Shaun of the Dead but I dont consider him some amazing filmmaker. I think someone like Sam Raimi is much better, and Wright got a lot of his style from him btw.
Im sick of hearing Wrights name at this point. I dont care about his version, I care about the film we got by the director who made it.
I was just answering some people because they made it seem as if somebody losing interest in the film due to Wright leaving was nonsensical.
Probably be 5-6% higher if the Edgar Wright fanboys didn't get to review it
That argument can be aplied to anything, 99% of moviegoers don't have a clue who he is, well, 99% of movie goers don't realy notice the difference in pratical filmmaking and what that means for the Star Wars Sequel trilogy, 99% of moviegoers don't realy know the different directors in Marvel films and how their different styles lead to different movies, etc.
I don't realy see your point here, are you talking about how much money it will make? Or about the quality of the finished product? Because different directors do make a difference when it comes the quality of a finished film.
They both have an energetic style, but i think it's weird to try comparing both, Edgar Wright is more of a comedy film director, while Raimi leans towards horror and adventure with some cheesy humor here and there. While i absolutely love Raimi, i also think he's way past his prime and has had quite a few number of disapointments, even back in the 90s, while Wright has yet to deliver a film that's less than good IMAO.

Lord: Wrights name isnt big enough to draw people to see Ant-Man. Hes not that famous.
We'll never know what Wrights film was like, but as I said if it was that great and special, Marvel would never have had a dispute. Wright screwed up, plain and simple.
Sam Raimi is one of Wrights main influences as a filmmaker. Thats obvious, just watch Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness or Darkman and then Shaun of the Dead. Personally Ive been a fan of Sams since Evil Dead 2 and I love the Spider Man films, A Simple Plan, The Gift. Wrights made 1 film I liked (SOTD), Im not really a fan of Hot Fuzz etc. Sam Raimi's work vs Wrights: Thats a matter of preference, not quality. IMO as a film geek, Sams stuff is better than Wrights minimal output.
This is becoming like a broken record discussion again, all the info has been given to us about what happened yet people are still going back to Wright. Gotta get over it I guess.
Ant Man is at 80% on Rotten Tomatoes and Wright didnt direct the film.
The point is that it seems like those Wright fanboys who are on RT are just trolling the movie. They made up their minds in advance to hate it and watched it only so they could give negative reviews.
Or they didn't like the movie. Some of the people who gave positive reviews to this movie do mention that it would have been better with Edgar Wright, it's not just the negative reviewers.
That is impossible to know since that movie was never filmed. And I stick by the trolling. The way some of those reviews read they practically tell you they went in determined not to like it.
