Amazing!!

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2019)

This is the very first Marvel Cinematic Universe movie that I saw and I love it!!
Paul Rudd plays Scott Lang, a non-violent and very likeable crook who is just being released from prison and decides that he wants to start over to provide for his little girl. But he is unable to hold down a job. He is offered a job - to break into a safe in an old man's house. But he finds nothing in the safe except for a strange suit. He goes home and tries it on - and winds up getting involved in a breaking-in job to save the world.
(Again, I apologise about the bad movie synopsis).
Paul Rudd is great as Lang. He is charming and hilarious. Though, I have one qualm with Lang's character - he tends to spoil some truly great or emotional scenes.
Michael Douglas is amazing as Hank Pym. The calm, straightforward man who hires Lang, Douglas really brings him to life.
Loved the way they handled the budding romance in this and there is some well-done character development.
The shrinking technology was fun and sometimes hilarious to watch - particularly in the climax.
Some have called this 'weird' or 'odd'. While I can understand why they think this way, I don't think it is. It's science fiction and great fun to watch. Great fun and really engaging. Loved Luis and his storytelling scenes. It's cheesy, but a fun cheesy. At first I really wanted more scenes where he is telling a story, but then realised that it would soon get old and his scenes wouldn't have the same charm. Luis really steals all the scenes he's in.
A definite recommend.
