Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) finds a kindred soul in Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and abdicates his war time Ant-man suit giving Scott a chance to prove himself worthy of being called a hero by his own daughter played by Abby Ryder Fortson. The task is to avert the sale of the technology behind the Ant-man suit thus preventing it from falling into the wrong hands.
Such dynamic camera work here from the character shrinking and then coming back to his normal size, the film takes us with it by way sound and the changing of the proportions of the images. It packs just enough action and special effects to thrill the audience but what sets this film apart from the other Marvel movies is its funny moments. A lot of which can be owed to the acting prowess of Rudd , Douglas and the supports. The comedic plane of this film is an ensemble act.
This does not look as big as The Avengers, nor any one of the Iron Man films, in fact at some point it has a texture of a movie made for TV. Initially Paul Rudd seemed like an unlikely choice but his Scott Lang disregards that notion and proves himself as a reliable actor whatever role you give him. This film fails at capturing the audience emotionally and the attempts to do it just seems like some patches of lull in the story.
Be that as it may, I was entertained. I was surprised to find myself laughing aloud in action film, it turns out this is the Marvel movies funniest film to date. Its full of action and full of laughs.
