I thought the humor worked well in Ant-Man. It was a comedy anyway, so not much of it felt forced, like Marvel tends to do with a lot of their other films.
The science was a bit questionable, but it is science fiction after all, so I can look past that.

Agreed. Expectations have a lot to do with enjoyment also.
I enjoyed Ant Man and expected the humor in it, which is absolutely necessary for a live action movie about a super hero shrinking down to the size of an ant and fighting bad guys; the concept in itself is silly, so why not have fun with it. It adds to the enjoyment of the movie and the fact it doesn't take itself too seriously, much like Guardians of the Galaxy didn't. Good action, medium to strong 3D mix.

I managed to order the steel book in the end, it should arrive tomorrow.
I'm really looking forward to watching this again.

I'll have to check it out, but not till it's on video in the US December 8th.

Agree. The 19.99 price is really nice compared to Amazon's way overpriced 29.99 for the base version.

Douglas is good but it feels like he's on autopilot, Rudd is fine and so is Lily but Michael Pena's role is so overdone and he's just not that funny. I really hated the note the movie ended on with him.
I can't call Avengers Age of Ultron a great movie by a long shot, however i've enjoyed watching that several times since getting the 3D blu. Ant-Man has much better 3D but those shrinking scenes aside, mostly the rest of it falls flat. It just feels like Marvel going through the motions.

Cool to see you have it available in your area already. Sorry to hear you didn't care for the humor or movie, though glad to hear you liked the 3D.
