Ant-Man Review

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2016)

Ant-Man(2015) Starring: Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, Corey Stoll, Michael Peña, Judy Greer, Bobby Cannavale, T.I, David Dastmalchian, Patrick Wilson, Wood Harris, and Hayley Atwell Directed By: Peyton Reed Review HEROES DON'T GET ANY BIGGER The Marvel Cinematic Universe, has been vast popularity since 2008 with it's first film Iron Man introducing Marvel's at the time smaller characters that were less popular then other superhero's such as Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman. I have found all the films to be pretty great, some not great as others but still pretty good. And now comes the smallest in popularity(other than the Guardians of The Galaxy) Ant-Man! However to fans of the comic universe in Marvel Hank Pym. In this film we get the second Ant-Man, Scott Lang. A con-man trying to get a chance at redemption when the old Ant-Man Hank Pym lets him steal his suit. He become's Scott's mentor so that way Scott can pull of a heist to steal Darren Cross's Yellowjacket and save the world. The movie achieved its goal by introducing Marvels strangest and smallest character in a witty and action packed film filled with great sequences. When Ant-Man is in his small scale you get to see the scope of how big everything around him is. The story is interesting since it's a good heist film(which I don't see often cause Tower Heist sucked) and a shrinking film(which is why it wasn't made in the 80's because of the popularity in Honey I Shrunk the Kids) which is what makes it vastly interesting. The performances are very great especially from Michael Pena who is hilarious and kills it with his humor in every scene he's in. Michael Doglus as Hank Pym is like one of the best performances he's ever done. The direction from Peyton Reed is the best he's done since Down With Love. The film ties itself together in the marvel universe by stopping by a certain facility. It has good wit, characters, acting and the best action sequences since Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I'm giving Ant-Man a five out of five.
