Chappy Watched: Ant-Man

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2016)

I'm still trying to decide where to place this movie in my Top 3 MCU movies but it's definitely up there with Captain America: Winter Soldier and Guardians Of The Galaxy.
I knew an average amount about Ant-Man, more than I did Guardians, but I feel pretty safe with Disney/Marvel to go in relatively blind.
I did not leave that cinema disappointed!
Probably one of the things I love best about the MCU is that it all looks real, the costumes aren't over the top; they look practical and let's be honest; a movie about a guy who can shrink himself and telepathically control ants could have been made into a joke but it really wasn't. The size play was flawless, detailed and didn't get too much to handle.
The cast was awesome but Michael Pena was a stand out for me with his hilarious retelling of the tipoffs he received and I was a little apprehensive about Paul Rudd, I thought he was going to turn the comedy stupid and go over the top but it had a nice balance of funny and serious.
Loved the cameos including of course, Stan Lee, loved the mention of what happened in Avengers: Age of Ultron, little bread crumbs for future Ant-Man films and even a little nod to a certain web slinger!
I would be interested to read or hear how this movie differed from Edgar Wright's version of the film but they still managed to move past all that drama and make a brilliant movie.
Loved this, will see it again in the cinemas, buy it on blu-ray on Day 1 and will be eagerly waiting for, hopefully, some sequels!
If you are a fan of the MCU, go see this!
PLEASE NOTE: There is a mid credits scene AND an after credits scene!
