THERE ARE SOME SPOLIERS IN THIS REVIEW.
Hello readers,
It has been awhile since I sit down and write a review. Yesterday, I went to watched Ant-Man and I have to admit it was pretty cool to see a hero in a smaller scale. Can you imagined seeing a hero, so tiny having to deal with bigger objects which in actual fact, they are considered normal size to us? The film has much to offered!
Similar to 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel provided us with yet another hero comedy called Ant-Man. The film starred Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man, Evangeline Lily and Michael Douglas as Dr. Hank Pym. Paul Rudd is one of the screenwriters for the film.
The story started off with a 1989 event where Dr. Pym was seen having a heated argument with Howard Stark, along with Peggy Carter who was beside Mr. Stark. Soon after the argument, Dr. Pym resigned from S.H.I.E.L.D and the opening credits come on. In the present year, we are shown a young man who was called Scott, being released from prison after three years and was fetched by his friend. Scott had hard time getting a job since he had a bad record until his friend mentioned about "a job". The rest of the story will not be revealed, which means you will have to watched the film by yourself.
Why I said Ant-Man is similar to Guardians of the Galaxy is because the film does not treat itself seriously and there were many great laughs including Scott Lang's friends who are there as a comedy's deserts. The film itself is fun because we were able to see fighting scenes in a much smaller perspective since Ant-Man is able to shrink to an "ant size". You would definitely love this film for having interaction between the leading man and the ants (variety of ants actually).
Speaking of fun and laughter, Ant-Man is a brilliant film which shows us that not all heroes saved the world for the people, but also trying to a hero and role model for their family. Scott Lang is an example of a hero who wanted a second chance, a redemption of making himself a better person for his daughter. I love how Scott's daughter is being supportive and actually a "fan" of her father, despite his troubles.
Ant-Man is an action film worth watching with shrinking and expanding objects, funny fighting scenes and even some cameos you may remember. If you are someone who is looking for a film similar to Guardians of the Galaxy or having mixed feelings with Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man is always waiting for you. Remember heroes doesn't get any bigger!
Ratings: 8/10
P.S. There are two post-credits scenes including one which is linked to the upcoming Captain America: Civil War in 2016. You have to hang in there and don't just leave after the first post-credits scene!
