Ant-Man introduces a new hero to our
favorite Marvel universe and does so in a way that feels just different enough
from the previous installments to be fresh and engaging while still holding to
the familiar feel and pattern that the other movies have drawn us in with
before. This summer fun movie is chalk full of humor much like Guardians of the
Galaxy was last year. Fans of the series will be quick to notice many of the Easter
eggs and nods to other characters from past films, and eagle eyed fans might
see some of the overarching plot points that may come up in future installments (Keep
your eyes peeled because this film is loaded with them). Don’t go in expecting
the grand scale and epic awesomeness from Age of Ultron, this is a movie about
a hero who becomes the size of an Ant after all. However much to the films
credit the producers of Ant-Man were very much aware of this weakness and
instead of attempting to convince you Ant-Man is just as awesome and powerful
as the likes of Thor and Iron man they instead poke fun at themselves in a way
that you can’t help but laugh at with them. Overall I certainly enjoyed this
film, and while I might not be running to the store to buy it on Blu-ray the
day it comes out, I would definitely say it is well worth a watch, and can’t be
missed if you’re a fan of the Avengers.
PS: If you’re willing to pay the extra bit to see it in 3D
you won’t be disappointed. Unlike Age of Ultron which was just fine with or
without 3D, Ant-Man’s filming style utilizes everything 3D has to offer and is
in my opinion well worth the extra couple bucks.
