Awesome!
As the Marvel franchise
has grown to epic proportions with it's unique and compelling take on
superhero movies, some of the lesser known characters are starting to
emerge and gain popularity, with Ant-Man possibly being the most unique
of them all. I don't know how the story in the comic was, but I can tell
you this, Ant-Man is the perfect character for the big screen. The
special effects are nothing short of magic and take the concepts of
Honey, I Shrunk The Kids to a whole other level. Scientist Hank Pym
(Michael Douglas) created a new technology, one that was so dangerous,
he buried the research deep in his company archives, but when his
successor comes across it years later, he develops it, despite warning
from Pym. In order to stop this from getting out, Pym recruits an
unlikely hero to help him, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd). Lang is one of the
best burglars around and Pym hopes to use these unique skills to get
back his work. The only thing is the company's lab is impenetrable to
all, except bugs. Using his prototype, Lang becomes Ant-Man and that is
when this film really gets fun. Paul Rudd is absolutely terrific in this
movie, as a small, nerdy, awkward guy, he can be hysterical under the
right circumstances and this was just the perfect role for his
personality. Rudd is paired with Michael Douglas, who 10 years ago
wouldn't have even considered doing a film like this, showing just how
powerful and influential the Marvel brand has become. Out of all the
Marvel films to date this is perhaps the most interesting one. The cast
is amazing, the special effects are outstanding, and I may never see
Thomas The Train in the same way again. If you're like me, and not crazy
about superheroes, don't let that stop you from seeing this film.
Ant-Man has a little bit of everything and goes way beyond anything I
would have ever expected to see in film based on a comic book.
