This was actually a good movie!

Rating: 7/10 (5 November 2018)

Ant-Man may sound ridiculous on paper as a movie project but director Peyton Reed managed to make it work and the visuals in this film are simply stunning. The way that they show the Quantum Realm, the shrinking, enlarging and even the sequences where Ant-Man is tiny are amazingly well done!
Paul Rudd is an excellent Scott Lang, Michael Douglas is Hank Pym through and through, Michael Pena steals the show as the enigmatic and lively Luis. While the villain Darren Cross isn't really anything special, Corey Stoll does his best to work with what he was given and also props to Evangeline Livy as Hope Van Dyne who is given even more character development in the sequel which I have yet to see.
Overall, it was a good film even though it's smaller scale (pun intended!) in terms of storytelling and it doesn't really kick off til after the 30 minute mark.
This is one of Marvel's best movies and one of Marvel's best characters who is very important to the Marvel mythos, the Quantum Realm will play a significant role in Avengers 4 as will Ant-Man and the Wasp.
