Marvel has then again surprised us with another great yet peculiar superhero slash addition to the Avengers. Paul Rudd stars as the miniature superhero in the movie ‘Ant-Man’. The 46-year-old comedian started his career in the early 90’sand has starred in many films like theAnchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004), The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005), Knocked Up (2007), I Love You, Man (2009), This Is 40 (2012), and Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013). In television, he appeared in the NBC drama Sisters and the NBC sitcom Friends in the 90’s. Other stars include Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll, and Michael Pena. The movie ‘Ant-Man’ is originally directed by Edgar Wright, the director of Shaun of the dead and Hot Fuzz but due to differences as to how he perceives it with how Marvel wants the movie to turn out he departed and was replaced by Peyton Reed (Hey man, Bring it on).
The movie earned a total of $22.6 million on its debut on Friday. However, a contributor for Forbes said that it was the second lowest Marvel film after The Incredible Hulk ($21.4m in 2008 and in 2D). Nevertheless, for a lesser critique like me, I found the movie great. Regardless the flawless technicality, Ant-Man showed the importance of family above work and self belief above fear. It’s a movie for all ages, and if one day in the future I’d get a chance to browse movies with my old physique, I would enjoy still watching ant-man.
This is a very late post, so if you haven’t watched it yet, I recommend you do.
