Ant-Man is Ant-Fun

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2015)

Caught Marvels Studios newer "Ant-Man" today off Redbox, and was happy with the experience. Although it starts off a bit slowly and drops into cliché on occasion, it picks up well. Director Peyton Reed has cut a good balance of adventure, action, and comedy. Paul Rudd looks to have physically prepared for his big part and pulls it off OK though a maybe a bit blandly. The SFX were very good, and I liked all the ant varieties on display. One can't help but compare to :Honey I Shrunk the Kids", which was marvelous and trailblazing in its own right, this was more frenetic and energetic. And it was a good watch. (Spoilers) The bug-zapper was priceless. Recommended 7/10.
