Review
Ant-Man is the latest in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Story is Hank Pym (Douglas), the original Ant-Man, recruits Scott Lang (Rudd) to help save the world from yet another bad guy (Stoll). Obviously, if you are a fan of the MCU and the loosely intertwined storyline, you will be a fan of this movie. That being said, it would be entertaining as a stand alone film. This movie, while not completely kid unfriendly, is not wholesome, exactly. There is a good mix of action and comedy, as one might expect from a Paul Rudd film but neither outshines the other. It is an all around good film.

9.5/10

Review
Sometimes it hard to follow Paul Rudd on what sort of movie he is going to be in. He has made movies like Knocked Up and Anchorman, but then he makes movies like these. He can play the kind of humor required for both movies. Owen Wilson is always a decent choice for the carefree character in the movie too. So, the casting is pretty well done. There does seem to be a lot more going on than the love story of the movie. Sometimes there feels like there are too many things going on and they take away from the main plot. Overall, the movie is good and definitely recommended for guys and girls. It is not a chick flick but is a good movie to rent and watch with someone so you both enjoy it.
7/10
