A solid and fun entry into the MCU

Rating: 6/10 (11 August 2015)

I have to admit I wasn't excited about this going in, mostly because I'm a big fan of Edgar Wright and it was disappointing to hear that he was replaced by Peyton Reed. But regardless of the production changes, the film won me over. Most comic book movies (Like the recent Avengers film) are fun but eventually devolve into formulaic beat 'em up smack downs between the good guys and the villain. And while there is a villain fight at the end, the action-filled finale is inventive and fun, taking advantage of the shrinking and growing powers. Not a game changer, but a solid enough entry to keep the franchise going until Civil War.
