Ant-Man 2015

An entertaining movie that’s better than the sequel with a better villain. Even if Corey Stoll is like Jeff Bridges’ villain in Iron Man. Butt hurt that his business partner or in this case former mentor won’t tell him his secrets of how he made a shrinking suit “or Iron Man suit in Bridges’ case.”
Is even bald like Bridges’ in Iron Man, just missing the goatee lol. Stoll is still an under-rated villain since he makes you want to punch him throughout.
While Paul Rudd’s casting works since he is his usual witty self but an action hero version. There was bitching that Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) wasn’t hero. He was an older, past Ant-Man instead.
As someone who doesn’t know much about Ant-Man comics, I think it works due to Rudd either way. Douglas is also fun as the past Ant-Man who recruits him. So I wouldn’t really want it to have been done any other way.
Bobby Cannavale is also perfectly annoying as his daughter’s cop stepdad. Who is pretty much waiting for him to mess up as an excuse to keep him away from his kid.
Evangeline Lilly is also good as Douglas’ daughter who is mad he won’t let her take over as an Ant hero instead of Scott. She also wants more answers from him on what happened to her Mother.
Michael Peña supplies the laughs more than Rudd as his crook friend. Who is trying to get him to steal again. By telling him a long winded story about a job her has for him.
