Ant-Man (2015)
Ok, I kinda cheated my "The Before Trilogy" marathon. I will come back to the last movie "Before Midnight", but I kind of interrupted it to see the newest adventure in Marvel cinematic universe.
Plot: Scott Lang, just got out of the prison, trying to turn a new page, get a job, be a clean man. After his infamous heist to some super secure program, he was observed by Dr. Hank Pym, the creator of the Pym particle that can basically shrink you to the smallest size. So Dr. Pym wants Scott to become new Ant-man, for one last heist, to steal a very familiar suits, that was created by Dr. Pym's student Daren Cross, who intent to sell his suit and technology to HYDRA. So, we all know that HYDRA is a bad guy, so naturally Ant-Man has to save the day!
Thoughts: I love love love Marvel Cinematic Universe! Gosh, ever since Avengers I can't get enough. And I don't even read the comics. Visuals are goods, plots are entertaining enough, acting is good, and the whole atmosphere just feels epic. What more do you need?
Actors: Oh man, don't we all have a crush on Paul Rudd? He's just... I mean, the older he gets, the better. Am I right? Though I still remember how cute he was in Clueless. Oh my. I'm happy to see some new faces in Marvel universe. Evangeline Lilly is one nice addition to the bunch. Can't wait to see her becoming a Wasp. That's gonna be amazing! (Sorry if I'm spoiling anything, you have to wait for the post credit scene to see her reveal.) Also loved seing some old faces, like beloved Peggy Carter, played by Hayley Atwell and also The Falcon, by Anthony Mackie. Oh, and I saw one youtube, Anna Alana. Lovely!
What I liked: I loved cheesy jokes, I did. I loved references they did to the other Marvel movies, like they talked about what happened in Avengers: Age of Ultron, about other little details that are like one big inside joke. Love the careless character of Scott, he is gonna be one hell of an avenger in the future. Oh man, this just gets me so excited for the future. The ants were sweet, made them look like a nice pet to have. I loved one character, Scotts friend Luis' way of telling some little thing with huge amount of details You'll know that I mean, when you see the movie. Also, not movie itself related - I loved the cute posters they made for this movie. Like, Captain America's shield, really close up, with little ant-man on it, same with Thor's hammer, or Black Widow's gun etc. So cool!
What I didn't like: Again, I'm just so in love with everything Marvel is doing that it is hard to find weak points. But, I'd say, I feel like they can go deeper and develop some good and interesting villains. Marvel has only used like 5% of awesomeness that it is, and the villains we've seen so far are far beyond what we might get in the future.
IMDB rated this as 7.9, pretty much the same as other Marvel cinematic universe movies. I agree, this one wasn't as bad or as unambitious as others. If you haven't seen it - go to the cinema!
