For my money, Best Super-hero Movie Ever

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2015)

This genre is not exactly the first one I reach for, though I do enjoy it from time to time. There hasn't been any super-hero movie until now that I've seen that I liked without any qualifications. Generally I find with most stories about a bunch of do-gooders running around in tights or a costume, sooner or later I can't help thinking: "They look really silly". Well this one worked for me from the git-go through to the de rigeur Marvel post-credits teaser. I thought every actor killed it in this especially Michael Douglas who gave it a certain wry gravitas that not every film of this type is treated to, and of course, Paul Rudd, who found the perfect note for this and ran with it. I knew the film was working for me was when I realized I was emotionally moved by the death of an ant. It's hard to argue with that.
