Ant-Man
Here's a movie that I wasn't sure I was going to see. On the up side, the Marvel CU movies have been generally pretty good and doing well. On the other hand, that doesn't necessarily mean I have to go watch them all.
All in all, though, it's another pretty good movie. The action's decent. The main "power" premise didn't bother me in the way I think it might, even though the movie plays pretty fast and loose with mass and momentum. The ants worked out better than I would have guessed. And while it didn't warm my heart the same way Guardians of the Galaxy did, there was a sense of fun and adventure and humor along the way.
A couple points, however, hold it back from being "great." I didn't find the main villain very compelling, myself. Also, the whole underlying plot of family issues felt clunky. Maybe there just wasn't enough screen time to flesh it all out, but things are just resolved a little too rapidly there to feel real and moving.
Still, it was worth the watch.
