Ant-tastic! (Sorry)

Rating: 7/10 (15 December 2015)

Well, lookie what we have here! A superhero movie as much about Character Development as big explosions and people getting punched in the face! I'm ALWAYS up for one of them!!
Yep, it's true. Ants are only there to be squished on, build annoying nests in the middle of nowhere and be featured in funny animated films featuring Woody Allen.
But... What if I told you that your preconceptions were about to be changed? That an ordinary ex-con looking to redeem himself could put on a special suit, have super strength, yet still be as small as a tiny insect?
He's even got a bunch of buggy buddies to hang around with! They form ladders, give him lifts while airborne and even bite the baddies into submission. Now, that's cool! If slightly gross.
Still, Paul Rudd is a stand-up guy in the lead role, it's always nice to see Michael Douglas flexing his acting muscles and Evangaline Lilly is your typical ice-cold b**** who defrosts over the course of two hours. All lovely people, all worth rooting for.
A sequel is planned for... Get this... 2018! I bet most of the entomological stars of this flick will be dead by then... So they'll never get to see the follow-up to the movie they worked so hard on. For shame, Marvel Studios. For shame. 7/10
