Ant-Man: 7.3

Rating: 7/10 (26 April 2018)

Despite having a horrible villain, generic flat cinematography, and physics that don't make any sense at all. Ant-Man is actually a good and fun movie. Paul Rudd as Scott Lang and Micheal Douglas as Hank Pym have some really enjoyable chemistry together that make for a cool mentor and student relationship, but the main relationship that is the film's spine is the relationship between Scott Lang and his daughter. It's a story about a dad who wants to reconnect with his daughter, and it emits a pleasant humbleness to the story. The ants are really enjoyable to watch to their thing and be commanded by Scott Lang, and the
Ant-Man suit and powers are very well done and make for some fun and satisfying action sequences. The final fight is great mostly due to the fact that it takes place in a little girls bedroom. Which inherently lets in some good comedy that the movie as a whole has as well. It's a consistently comedic movie that has more quick laughs than big ones, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Again the physics don't make sense, but it's forgivable because of the surrounding tone of the story. And the villain is horrible and suffers from the curse of the villain going insane at the end, and the film is shot on some flat and dull cinematography that sometimes makes it feel like a TV commercial. Overall, Ant-Man is a enjoyable light-hearted film that never takes itself too seriously by delivering quickly funny comedy. So I give it a 7.3
