Paul Rudd with one of his trusty ants. |
Back
from Ant-Man, yet another enjoyable
Marvel super-hero origin film that is both respectful of and resourceful with
the source material from the comics.
Despite
some sort of pacing problems in the first half, the film picks up for a
suspenseful and exciting climax, and has the cute humor you would expect from
the premise.
The
movie has numerous nods to the Marvel universe, and even a unifying dramatic
theme about fathers and daughters. The
heavy lifting is done by special effects and the serious acting talents of
people like Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas, who can unload exposition on you and
make you think it's candy. Amazing how much he now sounds like his dad to me.
