Ant-Man (2015)

 

Genre: Superhero
Directed by: Peyton Reed
Starring: Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas 
Running time: 117 minutes


 

Scott Lang comes out of prison after serving some time for petty crimes. He is trying to get his life back on track and rebuild a relationship with his young daughter, who lives with his ex-wife and her new man. Lang is recruited by Hank Pym to don the Ant-Man suit and get Pym’s technology out of the hands of a Corey Stoll, a former protégé of Pyr that is putting the knowledge to evil use.

I really enjoyed this film. The acting was good, with a good dose of humor, and the story was interesting. Often, I find that superhero movies are too heavy on what I call nerd gibberish. If you are not a fan of it, you are drowned in it. Ant-Man is a little more rooted in human emotions, with a sprinkle of the sci-fi stuff on top of it.

Ant-Man is a well done as the other Marvel films, visually-speaking, and there is more character development to sink your teeth into. I was entertained. There was some cheesiness, but I can forgive that.
