Marvel Studio's Ant-Man [Blu-ray] [Region Free]

brill

Ant Man is 2015's Gaurdians of the Galaxy! This is a superhero movie with little known about it unless your a die hard comic book reader so a lot could have gone wrong.But for me everything was spot on. First Paul Rudd was a surprisingly good lead and the very well and he was both emotionally believable and kept his comedy talents and through them in at the right moments. Then there's Michael Douglas, he is fantastic and showed what good actor he is just superb and the rest of the cast all play their roles superbly.The plot isn't over complicated as this is an origins story of sorts but before you all go "oh no not another super hero origin" this one works and is needed.Overall the film is a treat,and 117mins well enjoyed!

Good film thank u

It may be slightly different to the normal formula but Marvel have knocked up another fun, funny superhero flick here. It's not as original or subversive as it might have been had original director Edgar Wright stayed on board but such is life (Wright worked on the film for some time before dropping out and he retains a co-writer credit).The plot revolves around the original Ant-Man Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) trying to keep his shrinking technology out of the grasp of a former protege who's now a suitably sleazy, villainous bad guy. Along for the ride is the prospective new Ant-Man Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and the film largely becomes his origin story. You know the drill - training montages, reluctant heroing, life lessons etc.It's genuinely funny along the way and leans on the comedy regularly - this is no different really to the likes of Iron Man, Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy etc and is something that Marvel do very well. None of those have Rudd of course who's a master of the art and carries things very nicely indeed in a frustratingly rare leading man role. Douglas is solid also and Evangeline Lily puts her stamp on things as Hope Pym, adding further layers to the story and future possibilities.There's a teeny bit of Avengers involvement as the film eventually takes its natural place in the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. As always, stick around for the full end credits to get that little bit more for your money.

This is another great fun action adventure from the team at Marvel studios. Introducing a new character into the MCU is made to seem easy and pretty seamless overall. The chemistry between Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas and Evangeline Lilly is wonderful and the action is fun and frenetic.Overall I love this film and the atmosphere it has. Much more a semi serious caper movie than a deadly serious action adventure.The few weaknesses are the same as in a lot of Marvel Films. The villain seems under developed and his motivations are a bit weak. Also there seems to be little actual peril for a lot of the film. But as an evening in it is a great entertaining film.

This was one of the best films of the year, I think in a way I liked it more than Age of Ultron. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Ultron as well, but it made a change to see a superhero movie that was small scale, such fun characters, action and humour. In fact, I liked this far more than the Winter Soldier and both the Thor movies. You don't need to be Captain America or Iron Man to save the day. The effects were excellent and so was the acting.The picture quality is also terrific, this is one of the best blu-rays I have in that area. I hope Captain America:Civil War will be another strong entry like Ant-Man.

Boys enjoyed

Loved this - there was some humour mixed in with the action, typical of the other Marvel films. Paul Rudd is well cast as the super hero (who knew it would possible?) and Michael Douglas was excellent in the secondary lead.The Avengers get a mention as well, tying this character in with forthcoming Avengers films.And keep watching when the credits start to roll - there is a little surprise.
