Ant-man


Marvel did it again!! Ant-man is the newest chapter in the MCU and introduces a new superhero known as Ant-man. The story starts out simple, an ex-criminal is given a chance to redeem himself by performing a daring heist. But it gets more complicated than that. (But this is a non-spoiler review) The story is co-written by Edgar Wright and it shows, the clever and funny humor feels like it was lifted out of Shaun of the dead or Hot Fuzz. Wright was also set to direct and there is still some test-footage on the internet of his version and the influence shows heavily.

While 3D is often regarded as no more than a gimmick to get every bit of box-office money possible, it really adds to this flick, you really get a sense of scale when an ant sized person runs on top of guns and flings people around. A lot of the effects are practical wich really helps make the universe seem plausible, in comparison to some other MCU films like Thor and Guardians of the galaxy. But the movie throws in tons of references to the larger universe with some characters playing an important part.

If youre a fan of Edgar Wright, the MCU, superhero movies or action-comedies in general, you should heavily consider seeing this film.
