I disagree. I cant describe how much I disagree. A director can make the difference between X2 and X3, or Superman Returns and Man of Steel... Batman/ Batman Returns and Batman and Robin. Directors are a huge deal. And while Avengers 2 wasnt as jaw dropping as 1, it was still a damn good movie. I'm not enthused by this at all...
Please don't take this as trolling, but I can't describe how much I disagree with you. Those movies knew they were changing shifts in direction of tone of the movie. But it's also same affect of The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. Same director, two completely different films. DK was brilliant. Every bit. But DKR was a total mess. Total mess. Plot holes. Dragging plot. Pacing issues. Sound and visual issues. People seem to give it a pass because it is Nolan and his first two were brilliant.
And when it comes to this movie in particular, I see it more of what Ant-Man is/was. It is a film that is spearheaded by everyone but the director. It was a cog in the wheel of franchise films. This is a Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin movie who want to direct together and Channing wanted a big name director for the film.
And Wyatt also left because he felt the budget was getting too big. I quite frankly don't want a director who gets distracted by that type of thing. Can't take the heat, step out of the kitchen. I am ready to see who they are going to add in as director, but it's Channing's movie. He will probably get someone who he can work with.
