An enjoyable romp

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2015)

An enjoyable romp. Paul Rudd plays Scott Lang / Ant-Man as the bit of a loser but with potential. Michael Douglas plays Dr. Hank Pym as the clever guy who needs Scott Lang's help. He's to stop Darren Cross / Yellowjacket (Corey Storr) as the marvellously cold villain. Hope van Dyne, (Evangeline Lilly) Hank's daughter, is helping them. Scott is supported by his former cellmate Luis (Michael Peña). Scott and Luis provide quite a bit of the humour (humor if you prefer). Dr Hank Pym, Hope and Darren Cross help give it more gravitas. Both the drama and the humour are flawlessly interwoven. Neither seems strained. The action sequences and special effects are good and the concept of being able to shrink things and enlarge them later is given a full airing and clearly the central focus that it needs. All in all an enjoyable romp and if you watch this wait for the extras in and after the credits.
