SPOILERS INCLUDED - Subatomic Beauty

Rating: 7/10 (8 August 2015)

Antman it is. Well then. When you think about it, a choice as smart as long overdue when it comes to Superheroes. The forgotten one, right? The one that literally somehow kept under the radar for so long. His time has finally come and he arrives on the big screen in full glorious swing. Let's have a quick go: the first Cross killing is spectacular in its simplicity. I honestly have never seen anything like that before. And believe you me, I've seen everything to compare it with. OK then, some quick story building, handled swift enough to not walk right into the trap of insignificance. Then ... Old Man has Safe. Followed by Mission Impossible Styles actually done better, swift and crispy. To henceforth bare witness to the initiation is a fun-ride, intoxicating and entertaining, Super Hero Shtick like it should be done, fluid and fast with the kind of light footed timing that will joyfully nail you to your seat with a grin on your face. Pure bliss. Throwing around Drama, interrupted and metamorphosed through the childish carelessness of our Goop Hero, again with flawless timing. It is convincing that this hero (like many others) keeps this sense of naivety, because anyone who would go through such fundamental changes and gain such transforming and up-heaving powers, while keeping stuff under control like he obviously does, would have to remain a jester at heart in a deeply magical and philosophical sense. And have a good laugh at it.
What else have we got? How about Quantum Physics! Ant-agonizing Avenger Bashing! And whose pajamas are those? Subatomic Beauty and...well alright, some heart-wrenching blockbuster blubber to patch it up, but I shrug that off. What remains is a contender for one of the top spots within the Subgenre, All American Fuss aside, Ant-Man reaches heights it may not aspired for, but has managed to do so nonetheless.
