Whomever did the casting for Ant-Man, I'm incredibly thankful that they gave Michael Douglas the role as Hank Pym. Douglas is an amazing actor, and his trademark voice is truly gripping for his character. Paul Rudd did an amazing job as Scott Lang as well but, my eye was mainly focused on Douglas' performance. Back to Rudd, his performance did an amazing balance between his humor and remarkable heroics. He was a perfect choice plus the connection you feel with Cassie (Abby Ryder Fortson) was truly admiring and heartwarming. Pym's daughter (portrayed by Evangeline Lilly) was also a perfect match for Rudd's character. A strong female type whom has a sense of duty and redemption (not to mention her Wasp trademark bobbed hair which made it even better). The supporting characters ranging from The Falcon (Mackie) to Luis (Pena) and friends were also great. Correy Stoll's performance as the main villain, Darren Cross, was also truly remarkable as well with his mad scientist like attitude.
The special effects in Ant-Man were truly remarkable and breathtaking. Though most of it was likely a green screen, the film had a type of flow to it that made the effects seemed gradually lifelike. The ants for one had a sense of life added to their characters even though they were obviously computer generated. Not to mention that the environments that Lang soon discovered were detailed to even the smallest dust mite. The first time Scott shrunk in the bathtub was amazingly well done that you could even see dust particles flying around on screen. The Ant-Man suit for one was truly unique. I enjoy this real life version over the comics any day including the weirdness vibe the suit gave off. As well as the Ant-Man suit, the Yellowjacket was also pretty cool (even though it was mostly computer generated in). I for one enjoyed this film mainly because it was different than your everyday superhero movie.
I really had no one favorite scene for Ant-Man since the entire film had you literally on the edge of your seat. As a whole, I felt that the film was equally balanced enough that it really didn't matter which scene was your favorite. The comedy was extremely funny (mainly because of Luis) while the action was quite entertaining. Fighting sequences between either good guys or bad guys had pretty astonishing moments added to them as well (i.e. the fight between Lang and Cross inside a falling briefcase). Though the death scene of Antony, the flying ant, was probably the saddest part of the movie; I did cried once during the film. Believe it or not, it wasn't the death of Antony. It was when Scott went sub-atomic and all you could hear was his daughter's voice. That right there gave me the feels since you realize that he may never see her again.
My rating for Ant-Man is a bold 5 out of 5. I love this film because it took a hero that nobody liked, and made him even more popular then what he was. Paul Rudd did an amazing job as Scott Lang and Evangeline Lilly (the new confirmed Wasp) did a terrific job for replacing Janet Pym. If you haven't already seen this movie, go see it now. Either see it in theaters, buy the DVD or Blu-Ray; or watch it on Netflix. You need to see this film. Ant-Man was astonishing and was truly 2015's summer blockbuster film.
