Early Ant Man reviews are generally positive.

The summer movie season has already delivered big hits like Joss Whedon’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron, George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road, and Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic World - but if you think we’re close to done you better think again, as the next couple months are filled with more anticipated blockbusters. Certainly towards the top of the list is the latest effort from Marvel Studios – Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man - and while the film isn’t coming out for a few more weeks, social media reactions have already begun pouring in.

The first press screenings of Ant-Man were held Thursday night, and journalists have begun sharing their thoughts on the upcoming film. So what did they think? Check out a sampling below!

1. I'm willing to have an open mind and I hope it's good

I just wish the suits at the studios in Hollywood (like the ones I used to work for) would take more risks and make original movies with fresh concepts like they used to. So many films now have what are perceived to be built-in profitability from well known franchises or familiar marketable names from comic books or previous sequels. What if in previous times no one was willing to risk writing and publishing some of these Marvel Comics, or the original Avengers, or the original Mad Max, or the original Jurassic Park? There are so many great horror and science fiction writers who have interesting ideas that could make great fresh and original movies.

3. Speaking as a comic fan since childhood

It's a dream come true to see my favorite heroes and villains on screen in ways that remind me why I read them in the first place. I would say that Guardians of the Galaxy was a huge risk as was casting Robert Downey, Jr. I understand your point that we do need more original films, but we comic fans are having a blast right now.

2. I'm waiting with baited breath

4. I've seen all the Marvel movies to date. Definitely not missing this one!

I was more interested when Edgar Wright was attached to write and direct but I guess he didn't fit in with Marvel's strict code of conduct. But still it should be good.

It seems like it will be a fun movie.

7. At this point it's hard to imagine Marvel screwing up too badly.
