While I am familiar with the character... I never seen much on Ant-Man before seeing this movie. I never read much comics and the shows I watched as a kid from the '60s - '80s never showed much of him. But I must say... I enjoyed the film very much. I liked all the cast and the character they played. It is a good origin story that is both informative and entertaining. It has plenty of action as well as a few laughs here and there. Definitely recommended.

This one...while entertaining... is not a great one. I didn't find many of the characters likable and the story line was predictable. I felt the cast did a fine job though, the problems I have with this film is with the story itself. Over all I would say it is worth the time put in to watch it. But don't expect too much from it.

The Flash Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

Mike Genovese as Lt. Warren Garfield
Biff Manard as Murphy
Robert O'Reilly as Victor Kelso

My Thoughts:
This has always been one of my favorite episodes. I like the storyline. I liked Julio knowing Barry is The Flash (in the future). I always hoped it would turn that way for the series... but the show didn't last long enough to see that happen (if I remember right). And I also liked having a bit of an update on the pilot episode.

My Rating:
