Hey everyone! The billion dollar Marvel/Disney industry made another one! Oh, you haven't heard? Its Ant-Man! You know, one of the original comic book Avengers. How has he not had a movie already you ask? Because who cares! My Daughter has seen this twice and said its the best SH movie yet! No, I have not gown out of this genre, I love these movies and as I have said before, I cant get enough of them. Well after taking my son this weekend, I may have had enough. I expected so much from this movie, especially casting Rudd as the lead. He is a funny dude and was hoping he would knock it out of the park. Well, I was let down throughout this movie a number of times. I was expecting a Guardians of the Galaxy staring a comedian as the lead, but this really fell short. I can say the saving grace of this film was absolutely Michael Pena and T.I. Pena was true genius with the way he presented his lines. I will give this movie an extra star just because of him! Even Evangeline Lilly, who is usually super hot was average in this. I feel like this was thrown together for the sake of having another pay day for Marvel. There were some good laughs, and a few good fight scenes along with cool CGI, but the end was a build up for a let down. I wouldn't say this is the worst SH movie, but it would be behind (in order), Dark Knight (actually all of the newer Batman's), Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers, Iron Man, X Men First Class, and Incredible's. I would put this on your list of wait for Redbox, but the Popcorn might not be as good....Unless you have a bag of Vic's Cheese!
FYI: Howard Stern tried to buy the rights to Ant-Man 15 years ago hoping for a future movie.

We actually thought that this was really good. I wouldn't wait for Redbox.
