ANT-MAN the Little Giant



 
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.
