A Tale to Astonish indeed!

Rating: 9/10 (20 July 2015)

A couple of years ago I would have scoffed at the idea of an Ant-Man movie. The name is pretty silly and to see someone shrink would have looked silly, especially in a cinematic movie with gods and super powered individuals.
But this movie kicked my ass! Every expectation was blown away and I had the time of my life. It's certainly a Marvel production and yet had it's own unique twist that made it stand out. Michael Douglas, Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lily are fantastic as is the main villain.
The action is mind blowingly awesome as Ant-Man shifts from small to big when he takes on foes...and the final fight? Awesome.
There is however one fight scene that I did not see coming and was not shown in the trailers.
Falcon vs Ant-Man is by far my favorite moment in the entire movie! And Michael Pena may just be my favorite person in the entire cinematic movie...him and Anthony the ant ;)
One gripe is that the main villain Darren Cross seems a bit like Loki (trying to prove himself to someone close to him) and I wish Marvel wouldn't kill off villains all the time. Cross to me didn't have much time to grow. From the start he was always this angry millionaire who was a total jerk.
Overall it's a really fun movie. I don't usually see movies more than once except Guardians of the Galaxy, but I saw Ant-Man twice and I'm more than happy to see it again.
