Ant-Man - 蟻人
Ant-Man (蟻人) is an 2015 film. The movie stars Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Peña, Anthony Mackie, and Michael Douglas. The movie takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the twelfth film of the series.
Scott Lang plays a high tech robber in the San Francisco area who gets caught and sent to jail. When he gets out, Scott is recruited by Henry Pym to help him steel secrets from his own company. Scott eventually agrees and gets trained by both Pym and his daughter, Hope van Dyne. Together, they work to reclaim Pym's company from an already happened hostile takeover.
This was a comedy with some action. Plain and simple. Peyton Reed does a good job of replacing the original Edgar Wright. Thank goodness in my opinion as I have not been a fan of Edgar Wright films, but have been entertained by Peyton Reed's previous films, like Yes Man. Paul Rudd pretty much plays himself, but just as Ant-Man. Evangeline Lilly does her thing as the tough as nails and looking great doing it thing, a la Lost.
In all, I've watched Ant-Man more than a few times and would stop while channel surfing.
