Enter the new Ant-Man movie. The film is almost wholly self-contained: it has tie-ins to the bigger picture, but it is nothing that you would have to acknowledge, and besides that aspect, it has a feeling of humor that permits you to look at the scenes and just have your fun. Just sit back, relax and enjoy a new character that might have its sequels depending on its success.

The Marvel Universe now covers a number of movies, such as Ant-Man, which hit cinemas all over the world these past weeks. By now, the company’s movies are beginning to deal with an issue that comic book lovers are all too acquainted with. Age of Ultron represented an incredibly pleasant movie, but involves stuffing in just about every personality in the Marvel Universe to act as a link to the next set of films in the series definitely harmed the pacing of the scenario.

The next step in the Marvel Universe delivers an old participant in The Avengers’ adventures to the cinemas for the very first time. Equipped with the unbelievable skill to shrink in dimensions, but improve in force, an expert robber must accept his inner-hero and assist his mentor, Hank Pym, in securing the secret hidden behind the amazing Ant-Man costume against a new series of massive threats

In some parts, Ant-Man might be put in a comparison with Guardians of the Galaxy (GotG). Just as Ant-Man, GotG also had great set of new figures to the big screen and depended on comedy relief to create the atmosphere of the movie. GotG introduced an unusual galactic establishing that is not very linked to the rest of the characters and adventures in the Marvel Universe. It has a talking raccoon along with his best buddy, a living tree. And in a way, it all proved to be successful, thanks to its amazing feeling of light humor and partially due to the excellent screen appeal of Chris Pratt.

Ant-Man is not really as amazing as GotG, even if it has its humor to rely on; the movie was initially expected to be directed by the talented Edgar Wright, the guy behind other famous productions, such as Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead. While it does not get to the same level of artistic talent as those movies, there are some obvious clues and signs of his personal humor. Paul Rudd is your best option as the leader. He is moderate but also crazy, and his acting can make from this movie one that most individuals will appreciate.

And after the continuous-heavy production that was represented by Age of Ultron, this was also an awesome occasion to relax and like what really is at its primary level: a heist movie. Actually, regarding its core, the movie is fairly much at a similar stage as Iron-Man. You have a super-powered costume that a wicked power wants to weaponize and begin promoting. Yellowjacket with Iron Monger have a few things in common – these characters are both basically anti versions of these super heroes in his specific storyline. Iron Monger is a larger, more updated version of the famour Iron Man, while Yellowjacket represents the same for our Ant-Man.

In Ant-Man, we follow Scott Lang’s adventures (who is played by Paul Rudd) who gets caught for intruding into his organization to expose the truth about its illegal earnings. His whistle blowing puts him in a clearly supportive position, but cuts his visitation privileges with his little girl, Cassie. Her mom and stepfather will not allow him to see Cassie until Scott makes up for delayed assistance expenses.

Meanwhile, we watch Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man, who designed his incredible costume in the 1980’s, but after an incident that resulted in the loss of life of his spouse Jesse, he says that his costume is too risky to utilize and leaves his protectors from SHIELD as well. Hank also loses management of his organization to a former protégé named Darren Cross.

Hank’s daughter, Hope Van Dyne (who took her mom’s first name) is teamed with Darren, but then she understands that Cross is near to re-creating the costume, to program it to be a lot more destructive and to offer it to the biggest prospective buyer, she goes back to Pym.

Hank reaches Lang, gives him his old Ant-Man super costume and employs him to grab the new suit from Darren Cross. The scenes that follow seem like a traditional heist film, with Hope coaching Lang about how to use the suit, even if it brings the query of why she did not just use it for her. The response of course is easy – that the film’s title is Ant-Man and not Ant-Woman, and if they had created a film about Hope instead, then here would have been a little army of enraged online commentators to deal with.

Still, regardless of a few problems like this one, the movie is mostly pleasant. It seems like the traditional humor is a little well diluted in some scenes, but there are a few amazing graphics along with cheap humor that mostly determine the overall tone of the movie.

There is a battle set within a luggage, and you have some action parts that use toys and games – anyone was able to see the toy train showed in the movie trailer. Simultaneously, there is a flying ant ridden by Ant-Man and that he names Antony. The films keeps on doing that, falling from the amazing graphic effects to the moan causing dad-joke as quickly as Scott Lang changes between his regular dimension and the little ant-sized character.

Like GotG, the movie is a funny relaxation between the big, large players – Age of Ultron this season and Civil War in 2016. It is not as great as it should have been, but it has a decent combination of action and humor that we have seen many times from Marvel until now and this is exactly what is required in many blockbuster that are launched these days.
