A great addition to the marvel universe

Rating: 8/10 (3 August 2015)

I have finally seen ant man and I can confirm that this film succeeds in its execution and ant man is a great addition to the marvel cinematic universe. The film Sees burglar Scott Lang forced to help his mentor hank Pym and become the ant man to do a heist to save the world. Now Paul Rudd plays Scott and he does a great job in the role because he isn't really an actor you could imagine as a superhero and they play that up. He is funny and relatable to the audience in the role and I though he got all the dramatic scenes he needed to do right as well and is one of my favourite heroes in this universe. clearly the best actor in this film is Michael Douglas as hank Pym and he is fantastic in this movie he nailed this character. He was funny when he needed to be he was dramatic when he needed to be and his chemistry with the other main characters was great too. Evangeline Lilly is an actress who has got her career back on track and she was great as hope. She was tough, but fun and likable which made her a good character in this film. Michael Pena is really good in the film with his humour being a good addition to the film. Corey stoll did a decent job as the villain it's just that he wasn't given much to do in this film and his character wasn't given allot of depth at all. The idea of the heist was a good story of the redemption of Scott Lang and I really liked how this story was a more personal story with Scott. I also liked the back stories of hank Pym and hope. But I think that they didn't give enough depth to certain aspects of the film like the villain and Scotts relationship with his daughter and it didn't hit the emotional punch that it was meant to. The script was mixed with some good humour and drama but sometimes it felt like that it didn't hit sometimes and that was due to different elements but it is a weakness of the film. The style was fantastic, all the cgi was great and the shrinking scenes really delivered like I hoped they would. The action scenes were all great and it really helped make this film great. Overall this is a great film and a great addition to the marvel films.
