Armed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, cat burglar Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, plan and pull off a heist that will save the world. (IMDb)
The estranged father-daughter duo is a little too brooding at times; thankfully, Rudd’s likeably lighthearted Scott and his buds (Pena’s excitable yet dim Luis steals every scene he’s in) provide enough ant-ics to break up the predictable melodrama, not to mention keep the standard superhero plot (cue the power-hungry villain) in check. The shrinking premise, meanwhile, adds a cool element to the action and even briefly probes questions of time and space (see Scott’s sub-nuclear fall).
7/10 (Good)

Although it’s not the best Marvel film I’ve seen, this one was still fun, and it’s comedic nature isn’t something you see nowadays in their films – they’re becoming much more dark, not that that’s a bad thing, either.

yeah I’m with you there! and I felt the serious aspects of this one were pretty average, so I was thankful for the comic relief from Rudd and co. to spice things up! thanks for the comment!
