Ant-Man is about 3 weeks away from being released, on the 17th of July. And some people have seen it - while most of the moviegoers are more than satisfied, some others give it a meh, saying that it lingers too much on the daddy issues plot and on the exposition.
But aren't all heist movies just the same? Don't they need a build-up, towards one final great scene, when the heist actually happens? We haven't seen it yet, but we can bet that these negative reviews aren't exactly unbiased"¦
Check out below the Japanese trailer for Ant-Man and then check out the first reactions!
Ant-Man: The Japanese trailer
Pretty much like with the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer, the Japanese trailer for Ant-Man does bring new footage, although not as spoilery as this year's other Marvel movie. Check it out below!

What's new in this Japanese version is that we see how Scott Lang attempts to make an honest living by taking a job at a fast-food restaurant. It doesn't work, obviously - the rumor is that he forgets to mention to his boss that he has been imprisoned. More emphasis is also put on the relationship with his daughter (those daddy issues that have bothered some of the viewers).
Oh, there is also an Iron Man reference, but you surely noticed it.
First reactions
As said, the vast majority are positive enough, saying that Ant-Man is a hit from all points of view (even if the tracking suggest a rather modest opening weekend, at around $50-$60 million). And there is also a surprise!
Ant-Man will have 2 end credits scenes, both of which are fun and important in their own way! Check it out!
It takes ANT-MAN a moment to get cranked up, but once it does, it's sensational. My favorite third-act of any Marvel movie.

Two Ant-Man credits scenes, each better than the last.

Ant-Man is more methodical than most Marvel movies but it's hilarious & a totally great ride. So many fun MCU links too. Another winner.

Ant-Man isn’t just great entertainment, it’s also a great movie. Marvel’s most human film to date. Fantastic.

Ant-Man ties into the MCU without using any tangents. Almost all buildup, but that’s a part of the fun with heist films. Great script.

Sadly "˜Ant-Man' falls flat in almost every way. Doesn't seem like it's sure of what it wants to be. Not so much bad as it is blah.

ANT-MAN is fantastic fun with heart, wildly clever set-pieces, and a scene-stealing Michael Pena. It’s a movie I want to be friends with.

ANT-MAN is good. Not a disaster like some expected but also not a homerun. Has a *must see* after the end credits scene.

Ant Man is great. Way better than Age of Ultron. @edgarwright deserves co-director credit. Feels like his movie.

#AntMan: Mostly boring with lots of exposition, daddy issues and a splash of wit. Oh! And Paul Rudd’s abs. #FemaleGaze

Guys, don’t worry. #AntMan is good. Like, goooooood. Also, it’s the weirdest Marvel movie yet. Weirder than “Guardians of the Galaxy” even.

ANT-MAN is a TON of fun! It’s Marvel’s version of Ocean’s 11. Great cast, slick score and two wonderful post-credits scenes #StayTillTheEnd

Recent Marvel credit scenes have been kind of minor, but ANT-MAN has two (mid-credits and at the very end) that, unlike its hero, are huge.
