Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2015)

Based on the Marvel Comics character by the same name, 'Ant-Man' is probably Marvel's true Marvel. A highly entertaining Superhero flick, where its tiny Hero evokes laughter & claps in the course of his journey. I had a ball!
'Ant-Man' Synopsis: Armed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, cat burglar Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.
'Ant-Man' is Marvel's Best till date. Hell Yes, it is! Its a Superhero film, thats indeed SUPER in all respects. Its beautifully Written & the Action quotient is balanced, not ever going over the top or exceeding in mind-numbing explosions. There is some kick-ass action here, but its done well & subtly. Also, Scott Lang is a fantastic protagonist. His journey from a cat burglar to Ant-Man is thoroughly entertaining. Here's a Hero who you truly root for!
Edgar Wright, Joe Cornish, Adam McKay & Paul Rudd's Screenplay blends all the commercial Blockbuster germs, with zeal. There is scope for action, comedy & also a bit of emotions. And its all Written competently. There isn't a single dull moment in the narrative, thanks to its Strong Writing! Peyton Reed's Direction is top-class. He has handled the film proficiently. Russell Carpenter's Cinematography is picture-perfect. Dan Lebental & Colby Parker, Jr.'s Editing is sharp. Christophe Beck's Score is good. Graphics are extraordinary. Action-Sequences are masterfully crafted.
Performance-Wise: Paul Rudd nails it as the tiny Superhero. He's absolutely lovable & completely charms you, with his effortlessness. Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, is top-notch. Seriously, how good can the Veteran get? Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne, is in fine form. Corey Stoll as Darren Cross, is menacing enough as the baddie. Bobby Cannavale as Paxton, leaves a mark. Michael Peña as Luis, is the real scene-stealer. He's responsible for the film's funniest moments & its all due to his excellent comic-timing. Anthony Mackie as Falcon, is effective in a cameo.
On the whole, 'Ant-Man' is A Must Watch! Its Escapist Cinema At Its FINEST! Two Big Thumbs Up!
