Review of Ant-Man (2015) by Gordon H — 11 May 2016

Another Marvel Success Story!

I went in to this newest Marvel Studios superhero adventure story with high expectations that it would be yet another amazing tale of redemption and I am happy to say I wasn't disappointed. But what I didn't expect was how this story would also tie in to what has already happened in the MCU before. Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) was fighting for S.H.I.E.L.D. as "Ant-Man" long before the Avengers came into being. In fact, it was primarily because of his Pym particles that made him such an incredible agent fighting for the good guys. But due to a tragic accident involving his wife in the late 1980s, he stopped being "Ant-man" for good and buried all of his notes and high-tech suit from prying eyes. Fast-forward to today and the forces who wanted his tech then are still searching for it now. So Dr. Pym recruits someone to be his protege, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), to help him finish the work he started. I loved this amazing new superhero film from Marvel Studios! It's a refreshing new take for the superhero genre on a micro-level! If you're a fan of Marvel, you MUST SEE this film!
