Ant-Man
was a risky venture even for Marvel but then so was Guardians of the Galaxy. Both films exhibit comedy mixed with the
right amount of origin story and action. Both never lose sight of strong
plotting and characters. The result might not be as smashing as Guardians, but this is certainly the
most family friendly entertainment form Marvel yet. Paul Rudd is perfect as the
title character and injects a nice infusion of humor and everyman
believability. The shrinking effects are stunning. (Will someone finally do a
remake of Fantastic Voyage?!) Michael
Douglas is very convincing as a mentor and there are nice tie-ins to the bigger
Marvel world for fans. You might think twice about ants after this one; I mean
it! And do stay for two post credit scenes.
