Ant-Man
The best thing about being a shrinking super-hero is that when the fighting starts you can just disappear.
Thankfully, the pocket-sized protector in this sci-fi movie isn't as gutless.
Kindhearted ex-con Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) agrees to help his ex-cellie Luis (Michael Peña) break-in to a vault, but instead of riches he uncovers a suit that allows its user to shrink down and commune with ants.
However, the designer - ex-S.H.E.I.L.D. scientist Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) - and his daughter (Evangeline Lilly) want to teach Scott how to use the get-up so he can stop Pym's protégée Yellowjacket (Corey Stoll) from selling the technology to HYDRA.
With astounding action and periodical romance, this origin story shatters any preconceived notions you may have had of Marvel's C-list Avenger. More hilarious crime caper than caped crusader, Ant-Man's shortcomings are lost in Rudd's unconventional charisma.
Mind you, shouldn't Ant-Man's archenemy technically be Uncle-Woman?
