It's pretty rare nowadays...

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2015)

...That you actually enjoy a movie you pay $10 for... Other than "Jurassic World," the last couple of trips to the movie theater have been underwhelming, especially movies from Marvel.
I couldn't help but doubt this movie with the bitter taste of Captain America 2, Avengers 2, and Iron Man 3 in my mouth, but I decided to go see it with a friend; at the very least we could make fun of it.
Long story short, the movie rocked!
The objective of the movie was pretty similar to other Marvel origin movies: Flawed, underwhelming character becomes a superhero then is thrust into action to save humanity. This movie changed the original Ant Man (Hank Pym), to Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and in my opinion WORKED very well.
The movie was just fun all around. Funny scenarios, funny one liners, some of those "I Love You Man," moments, funny lip reading situations, and just a great supporting cast including Michael Douglas, TI, Michael Pena, etc. This movie didn't take itself too seriously yet it still managed to have a serious note, some solid Avengers references, and some good action.
I was tickled pink when I got home and found that Edgar Wright had contributed to the script...There are several moments in the movie, particularly the Michael Pena involved scenes that are Hallmark- Edgar Wright.
The action, animation, and effects were awesome. The final climactic fight on the Thomas the Tank Engine toy set was both epic and hilarious at the same time.
You won't hear me say this too often, but I would HIGHLY recommend you see this movie in theaters.
