MY REVIEW

So, in all honesty, I was prepared for this to be a "sequel." you know, where the first one was decent and the second is passable...(Ant-Man, my review from July 2015). It wasn't bad. It was actually pretty funny in some spots. It just wan't THAT great. I never found myself rooting for the hero/heores. Ant-Man is a very typical anti-hero with him being an ex-con and just kind of passable in most areas.

What I DID LIKE about this movie:

• It was fun. Plenty of one-liners and moments that are pretty amusing, not enough to make me laugh out loud though.
• 
  

What I DID NOT LIKE about this movie:

• Could the writers have added a few more words? It's like they just re-used the word QUANTUM to further the plot. I mean it was like 46 times!
• Pacing could have been smoother.
• Maybe one too many jokes. It felt a little overwhelming with stuff that you were supposed to find funny.

On a more personal note..... 

Had a great time this week with my friend Missy and her little mini person, Ava. That kid is growing on he, but I would not trade my cats for anything. Also, F&%k Pollen!

STORYLINE
Armed with a super-suit that has 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 off a heist that will save the world.

MY REVIEW:
I had my reservations if Paul Rudd could pull off a lead role like this, but this worked. I've really only seen him play in supporting roles. He pulled it off. I really enjoyed this movie.

Michael Douglas. CGI, Evangeline Lilly. Enough said. If you haven't seen this one, it's a pretty enjoyable ride.
