Ant-Man

Ant-Man Trailer

"A "Big" Impact" by Darton Nguyen

Marvel took a risk bringing in a lesser known superhero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And that risk was well worth it. This addition of the MCU takes a look at Scott Lang, played by Paul Rudd. With the ability to shrink to the size of an insect but still have the strength of a human being, Scott uses his newfound abilities for the greater good as one villain rises. Paul Rudd brings a comedic interpretation of the character that fits in with the story very well. Michael Douglas's performance as Dr. Hank Pym doesn't dissappoint as he has done countless times with his other films. Michael Pena steals the show as Luis the crime partner of Scott Lang. All in all, the comedy and action-packed scenes make Ant-man a must see 2015 film.
