Yahoo : Review: ‘Ant-Man’ is a delightful return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe Running time: 117 minutes (~2 hours) “Ant-Man” is a superhero movie set in the shared Marvel Cinematic Universe. It revolves around the titular Ant-Man, who possesses the power to shrink and also talk to insects, and his discovery of a decades-old ploy to manipulate this shrinking technology. It stars Paul Rudd (Scott Lang/Ant-Man), Evangeline Lily (Hope van Dyke), Corey Stoll (Darren Cross/Yellowjacket), Michael Douglas (Hank Pym/Ant-Man), Bobby Cannavale (Paxton), Michael Peña (Luis), Tip “T.I.” Harris (Dave), Wood Harris (Gale), and a cameo by Stan Lee. For the longest time, I was wondering what “Ant-Man” could show us that we hadn’t already seen in the “Avengers” or even “Guardians of the Galaxy.” Surely it’d just be a rehash of the typical superhero movie, except our protagonist didn’t wield super strength or any sort of spectacular, flamboyant powers? But nope, this isn’t quite what “Ant-Man” is about. It’s about viewing the world through a whole new perspective, and the ability to adapt and make use of those changing circumstances to your advantage — rather than clobbering your way through foes. And it’s a refreshing new perspective to superheroics, given that this is the twelfth instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Highlights Unique visuals and interesting world perspectives Ant-Man’s signature power is to be able to shrink, and the movie shows us how the world looks through his eyes. But because Ant-Man is a superhero, we get to see it through a far more dynamic and dangerous view point than say, “Honey I Shrunk the Kids” would portray it. Ant-Man is not a master of his world, unlike other heroes, and his true power is how he navigates his environment to defeat his foes. And it’s this special perspective that makes “Ant-Man” so unique amongst the other Marvel movies. link: https://sg.movies.yahoo.com/post/124216205427/review-ant-man-is-a-delightful-return-to-the Ma Yee Ren aka Ant-man, standby Shelltox or Baygon .....
