Ant Man: Everyone Loves Paul Rudd

Ant-Man is a much lesser known Marvel commodity than Thor, Iron Man, or Captain America, but it's the same franchise apparently. Ant-Man follows the story of Dr. Henry Pym, who creates a serum called the Pym Particle that shrinks matter without changing it's strength. It's works on people, and Ant-Man and the Wasp are born. Dr. Pym is played by Michael Douglas and it's a great role for him. Rudd enters the story as a thief with great morals who stole from a corrupt company who was taking money from customers. Rudd comes out of prison looking to get straight and be a bigger part of his daughter's life. Rudd is released from prison and struggling on his own. Dr. Pym tracks him and prompts him through various hints to rob the Ant-Man suit from his home. In the foreground another Doctor working for Pym Laboratories is trying to develop the Pym Particle again since Dr. Pym buried it and refused to be a part of any weaponization of his discovery. The Ant-Man suit is necessary to steal the new technology and keep the world safe. Evangeline Lilly plays Dr. Pym's incredibly good looking daughter. It's not the best of the Marvel films, it's not the worst. Rudd is excellent like usual, as is Douglas and Lilly. Michael Pena does a pretty good turn as a hyperactive, nervous thief. Bottom Line: 8.3 out of 10. If you like Marvel films, you'll like this one. Solid throughout, though a lot of the stuff with ants gets a little preposterous. Very good acting, decent script/story, and it's worth checking out whenever you come across it.
