A 'small' surprise!

Rating: 7/10 (10 November 2015)

I didn't have very high expectations out of 'Ant Man', I felt it was just another marvel move to get the cash registers ringing, which they do, but of recently I have felt marvel has erred on their approach to movies. While 'Captain America: The winter soldier' was a great addition, 'Thor: the dark world' was just about okay. Iron man 3 was simply a goofy move which I think didn't go down well, at least with me. The biggest of them all the recent avengers movie was also a bit underwhelming. Though the box office tells you a different story in case of all the above mentioned movies.
Ant man more than anything else is like a breath of fresh air, just when marvel movies were becoming predictable. Also, marvel's recent infatuation with a lot of humor in their movies, seems to sit comfortable on this one, like last years guardians of the galaxy, unlike Aou, humor ruined the movie a bit I think.
Story is certainly not Ant man's usp, but the breezy treatment is. Paul Rudd is great as scott lang\ ant man. His comic timing is perfect and he almost charmes you into liking the movie. Michael douglas as Hank pym is good too. Special mention for michael pena.The shrink scenes work wonders and are amazing. Watch out for the fight between Yellowjacket and ant man in a suitcase!
On the downside, the film has an excuse of a story. The villain is not convincing enough. Also a lot of plot holes do come between you enjoying this movie.
Overall, ant man is more of a hit than a miss, humour sits well in this one. A possible sequel is already underway. Looking forward! Rating: 7/10
