Missed the mark

Rating: 6/10 (19 March 2019)

This will not be the popular opinion. This movie just didn't work for me. I think it started to go wrong for me with the casting: Paul Rudd is not a favourite of mine, mostly because he goes over the top in his comedy (he may be going for endearing but he lands at silly), which was just amplified in Michael Pena's role; then, there was the lack of personal dynamics. How did they mess up letting Evangeline Lilly do what she does best - good, heartfelt, emotive performances? There was no chemistry with any of the relationships (except maybe with Ant-tony). The villain was mundane and barely threatening. Otherwise, the CGI was creative and dynamic, the potential of the bare bones premises are still there. It just fell flat for me. I can't give this film any more than a 6 (fair) out of 10. {Superhero Action Adventure}
