Ant-Man is a huge surprise for me this year. As one of this year's few blockbusters, it didn't impress me much with its trailer, it was very sterile and uninteresting and was a shoo-in for the weakest Marvel movie, but oh how wrong I was. Ant-Man is very creative, inventive, overly funny to the point I was sorry I couldn't roll on the carpet in the cinema (that was taken care of by the discovery of Michael Peña, every time he was on screen he put a smile on my face). The action is clear, detailed and I've not had the opportunity to see action from this perspective anywhere before, so it was pleasantly refreshing. Paul Rudd portrays an ordinary guy, he's no chiseled model, but just an ordinary struggling father who has bad luck, you can easily relate to him being a likable guy. Evangeline Lilly is a seductive and promising babe, Michael Douglas is actually the only acting class in Ant-Man with an amazing facelift at the beginning, and Corey Stoll, I have a minor complaint about this guy, he didn't really stand out for me as the villain (he didn't have much room either), Marvel has pulled out bigger aces in this area. But anyway I dare say Ant-Man is the funniest and most entertaining Marvel movie ever. The highlight is definitely the unusual finale and Scott's heist skills.

The opening flashback from 1989 was a delight and so were Peg and Pym's acting performances, but the rest of the film was just a targeted rinsing. Unfortunately, only Douglas continued acting and he had no equal partners, so we had to make do with the epic battle with the machine Thomas. But so be it. The MCU continues ever onward.

Reed inherited gold from Wright and McKay and transformed it into copper. However, high quality copper in all respects. Even in this traditionally Marvel-like sterilized form, Ant-man will keep you entertained (yes, especially thanks to Peño and Tomáš). And what will disappoint you even more is how he wasted so many possibilities to take full advantage of abilities of the main characters. Because his small adventures, ideas and playfulness are outshone by the six-decade-old The Incredible Shrinking Man or the Hamster in a Nightshirt of Czech TV and what is far the best in this regard is the poster promo campaign "with Avengers"(whether official or fan). And that's not enough.

Are you going to believe me when I say it really took me a while to get used to the Ant-Man? At first, I thought the story started pretty quickly. Then I thought that it is really stupid and if not for the actors, I would not watch the whole thing. And towards the finale I was just wondering that the creators clearly must have taken some LSD, because they managed to come up with so many ideas that not all creators can fit into single movie. In the end, I have to admit I was pretty satisfied with this Marvel movie, as along with the premise the creators came up with a lot of original stunts, which made the scenes unforgettable. And even if someone ignored that, because there is a thin line between these feelings, I believe nobody would just ignore Evangeline Lilly with her dark bob. Not only did I not recognize her, but she was also unbelievably hot. And that’s the way it’s supposed to be.

An excellent Marvel movie and for me personally a more than worthy patch on the disappointment of the second Avengers. The film doesn't play games, it flows naturally, it's pleasantly (not at all costs) funny, Paul Rudd surprised me in the lead role and Michael Douglas' participation pleased me immensely. The trailers definitely didn't give away all the jokes (the key ring definitely leads the way for me), the action has ideas and is still clear, and the special effects are a chapter unto themselves - they took my breath away in the opening scene. I had fun, fun and fun.
