The combination of multiple visions this release shows the talent and capable hands of Marvel as they turn what could've been one of the most ahambolic pieces in their filmography into arguably one of the best with the wonderful visuals and great cast creating a truly fantastic film which is a memorable experience and steps away from the tropes of superhero/comic book genre films, highly recommend
It's amazing that, despite all of the production issues involving Edgar Wright's departure, 'Ant-Man' turned out good. The film has a consistent tone and manages to feel like one complete vision. Ant-Man's powers make for a unique superhero tale with some interesting action and the origin story is an entertaining one that keeps its characters at its heart. The film also makes a good attempt at humour which, while not always successful, feels welcome as it fits with the characters and isn't out of place. It isn't a perfect superhero film, however. The character arcs and overall narrative are extremely predictable, and the villain is an especially weak one. It never really breaks the mould, but it doesn't seem like it's trying to. Instead 'Ant-Man' focuses on delivering lots of fun and it does that that in spades. Plus, Christophe Beck's memorable soundtrack is one of the best in the entire MCU. 8/10
The film just seems so tone deaf. Losing Edgar Wright off the film was a huge blow and a great example of why cinephiles follow directors and writers more than actors. Paul Rudd is a funny guy and a decent lead but when he isn't being written for and directed by a person with as much talent as him, he's just stuck in a middle-ing movie, delivering middle-ing lines.In the end, "Ant Man" seems more like the sort of film Edgar Wright would normally make fun of, not write.
This movie is decent. There are a lot of problems with plot consistency and tone. A lot of scenes that are supposed to be serious end up even goofier than the ones where you disbelief needs to be suspended. This is a very silly movie that works the best when its being comedic. Its pretty funny and absurd. The character development is a bit weak for the most part. I wouldn't really recommend this movie, but it is entertaining.
