Review of Ant-Man Full Movie: To be honest, I was very surprised by Ant-Man. Paul Rudd makes a very good performance as Scott. I think that the best part of the entire film was the battle between Scott and Anthony Mackie's Falcon in the Avenger's new base. An epic battle with a short appearance of a new Avenger. I recommend this movie to any MCU's fan. Now we have to wait for Captain America: Civil War, that promises to be awesome. For a few brief moments, the unstoppable juggernaut that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) looked like it was about to grind to a halt with Ant-Man. Unlike most other films under the Marvel Studios umbrella, this production has been haunted by doubt and dissension.
Fans were nervous about the narrative decisions to relegate Hank Pym - the original Ant-Man in the comic books - to the sidelines while killing off his wife Janet Van Dyne (who, as the Wasp, is one of the founding members of the Avengers). Then came that hugely publicised parting of the ways between Marvel and original director Edgar Wright, who oozes so much geek cred that people understandably mourned his departure from the project after years of development. And yet, the final product - Peyton Reed's Ant-Man - is a fun, frothy delight, one that proves once and for all that Marvel knows precisely what it's doing and where it's going with the most crazily interconnected movie-and-television franchise of all time.
After serving his jail sentence, Scott Lang (Rudd) just wants to reunite with his daughter Cassie and get his life back on track. But he soon discovers that people in the outside world - including his ex-wife Maggie (Greer) and her new cop boyfriend Paxton (Cannavale) - aren't particularly kind to former convicts. Beaten down by circumstances, he agrees to pull off one last heist with his eternally optimistic buddy Luis (Pena). It's a crime that places him squarely in the path of Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas), a retired, semi-reclusive scientist who decides to enlist Scott in his life-long mission of preventing the Pym Particle - a technological breakthrough that allows him to become the super- small, super-strong Ant-Man - from falling into the wrong hands.
A poor excuse for storytelling that's slightly saved by its impressive visuals and comedic star. The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios' "Ant-Man." Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.
"Ant-Man" is something I've watched twice now and still haven't written a review for. While I thought it was really funny the first time, my impressions weren't that high overall. Now after watching it a second time, I can say it didn't get any better. If anything, it actually got worse.
My main problem with this film is its story-telling. This film is a prime example of lazy, awful story-telling that sacrifices narrative plot and emotional moments for humor and quick editing. Granted, this is nearly a 2-hour film and you can tell it was shaved down so that they could fit more showings into the cinemas. But this film is filled with extremely lazy sequences of dialogue and exposition that tells us what's going on. It's not interesting at all! If you don't believe my word, watch this film and count how often the characters are telling us what's going to happen next or what has already happened.
Even with that, the visuals were stunning. This is a visually impressive and awesome film. With a concept that deals with scope and size, it was a lot of fun when Ant-Man shrunk down beyond visible sight. It's awesome to see him run around in these worlds that are everyday things for us but are so much larger in retrospect. Him, along with his trusty sidekick bugs, go on cool missions and it's really fun to see it from a smaller point of view.
Paul Rudd, especially for Marvel's formula, is a great lead. Paul Rudd has a lot of charm and he's a hilarious dude. He's never failed to make me laugh and he's really got a likable charm to his persona. I think he's a great addition to the Marvel Universe and he's such a scene stealer whenever he's on screen. In the end, "Ant-Man" is a fun film. However, it's a terribly told story and it lacks in every single area except for its visuals. It's something that really bugged me the second time I watched this film and for that, I've really got to knock it down a peg.
