Antman Movie Review

Ya, so this movie is pretty much Marvel's take on the heist genre

So, I just got back from seeing Antman and I was suprised and a little underwhelmed at the same time.

I think what this movie was trying to do, was that it was trying to be as successful as Iron Man, but it just wasn't. 

Antman stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/ Antman, Michael Douglas as Dr. Hank Pym/ Old Antman, Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne, and Corey Stoll as Darren Cross/ Yellowjacket.

So, for context, Scott Lang is a thief that steals valuables and gets arrested a lot, so Hank Pym decides to recruit Lang to wear the Antman costume to steal another suit called the "Yellowjacket" from Darren Cross.  

The biggest thing wrong with this movie is that Antman focuses on the big heist of the movie, and Scott Lang becoming Antman for a majority of the movie, which got a tad boring and because they did that, they didn't develop the character of Darren Cross, like at all. Ok, maybe a flashback, but that's about it.

And of course, this being an Antman movie, the studios had to connect this movie with the Avenger's and for the most part they did, the references to the Avenger's titles at times felt shoved down the audiences throat, which is never good.

The studios do a good job with setting up Antman for Civil War and the rest of the MCU, ya that last credit end scene. By the way, there's two post credit scene's at the end of this movie.

Now, I know it sounds like I hated this movie, but I'm just pointing out the negatives first.

I thought the acting was spot on with everybody, especially Michael Douglas.

The humor is classic Marvel humor, at times I was laughing pretty hard

Overall, I thought the movie was enjoyable, but it does have some problems, so I would still recommend Antman a viewing with 3D.
