Ant-Man is lots of fun!

Rating: 8/10 (25 September 2017)

This is quite an entertaining Marvel film featuring cat burglar Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), who was tasked by scientist Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) to arm himself with a super-suit that has the capability to shrink in scale and increase in strength to help save his family and the world.
This movie starts off a little slow, but then goes into some fun action when it shows Scott Lang test out the super-suit and shrinking himself, going through keyholes and anthills to communicating with ants and doing battle with the notorious Yellow Jacket. The movie also has some comic relief, forced at times, but still good enough to appreciate the humor. The acting was pretty good with just the right balance of drama and humor; I especially liked the subplot regarding the relationship between Dr. Pym and his daughter, Hope (Evangeline Lilly).
There is also plenty of spectacular special effects to highlight the tension in the plot. The visual effects regarding the toy set toward the end of the movie was pretty hilarious. Lots of fun.
Grade B+
