The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I thought that they couldn't have been better with the casting. They were all brilliant, especially Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lily. I thought it was extremely funny and Marvel made the film very well. The story line was amazing and very different to most marvel films. It is definitely a movie I watched multiple times. If you haven't seen it already, I suggest watching it.

I know I know, its 2018 and I just watched this. So what I'm not a super comic book fan who watches all the DC/Marvel movies that come out. But I gotta say this movie was good. Not awesome, not lame. Good. Paul Rudd is perfect for this role. Spot on. Something else though, we need a Spawn reboot.

When this movie was announced, the premise actually sounded pretty intriguing. But sure enough, through a combination of lame CGI, stale humour, terrible pacing and poor character development, they made this movie boring. Well done. But this movie still gets a 10/10 instant classic marvelpiece.

Marvel is great at making the actors own the role of the superheroes. Ant Man is just another example. Micheal Douglas makes a great Hank Pym. While Paul Rudd is perfect Scott Lang. Paul Rudd uses his comedic timing to elevate the scenes which are generally cliched at this point. Film does cover his personal life without it overshadowing the movie experience.Scott has amazing team to work with. Evangeline Lily as hope is badass. She takes the role of mature hero. It would be amazing to get her as Wasp in next movie.Scott's buddies are resourceful and fun. But the character that steals the show is Luis played by Micheal Pena. He steals every scene he is part of. It would be fun to watch him paired with other superheroes as well.The movie stands on its own, without going too much in Avengers. This makes the repeat watching possible.In MCU, I was blown away by Iron Man in 2008. While next films in MCU have all felt a little flat to me. I did enjoy first Thor movie, again due to the characters that made the film. But after watching this movie again, this is my second favorite solo movie after first Iron Man. Paul Rudd is my boy. I hope he doesn't get lost in the Avengers clutter.
