A Movie Review: Ant-Man

Ant-Man. Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) is a thief. His thievery; however, was taking on The Man. He spends time in jail and upon release believes that he'll be able to get another job without a problem. He's wrong. He ends up going back to crime, cracking the safe of someone named Hank Pym (Michael Douglas). The only thing Scott Lang finds is a suit that sort of looks like a motorcycle suit. He decides to take it. Well, he soon finds out that this suit provides him the ability shrink in size at will.

Hank Pym is a former S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist who discovered this shrinking technology. He refused to turn it over to S.H.I.E.L.D., instead resigning his position. Well, this secret remained hidden until Scott Lang stole it. It was a good coincidence, because Pym's protege Darren Cross (Corey Stoll) is reaching a breakthrough on this shrinking technology.

Maybe it was because I was tired, but I wasn't into this movie. I'm not saying there aren't amusing moments, but for some reason the whole scene where Ant-Man finds himself in a roller coaster-like ride that starts at a bathtub and ends on a car roof just seemed too tailor-made for 8 year-olds and from that point on I got bored.
