Ant-Man, a fun and slightly different MCU movie.

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2015)

This movie from the MCU tells a different tale than most others. If you as a viewer would sit down to watch this movie, without knowing anything about it, not even the title, you would most probably not believe it to be a superhero movie, if you start watching after the opening scene.
This makes Ant-Man, along with the sequences which sees Scott Lang minimized, a really original movie in this genre and great fun to watch.
The script is well written, because of this the conversations and the motives of the characters feels genuine, furthermore is the humor well timed as well as frequent and we've got mainly Michael Peña and Paul Rudd to thank for that.
The likes of Michael Douglas, Corey Stoll and Paul Rudd, most of the cast really, all stood for solid acting performances. However if director Peyton Reed had seen TIs acting through my eyes the role would've gone to someone else.
It would be interesting though to see Edgar Wright direct the movie, but you could still sense his involvement especially in the story telling moments of Luis' which had a lot of similarities to Shauns survival planning in Shaun of the Dead.
Overall Ant-Man is a fun superhero flick which excites and makes you care for the characters. It was really close to get an eight from me but some scenes and sequences felt carelessly edited which resulted in an irregular tempo and that annoyed me unfortunately.
Either way worth seeing if like cool action effects, great humor and plenty of connections to the other MCU movies, past and upcoming.
