Movie review - "Ant Man" (2015) ***

A tribute to the skill of Marvel - the films kept getting bigger but then they decided to scale down for this smaller scale (literally) take of one of the lesser known superheroes. It still has some spectacle - the impressive tiny special effects.

They didn't reinvent the wheel, using a familiar structure, close to that of Iron Man. Nice cast - no one terribly new or exciting, but everyone doing decent work, Paul Rudd is affable as always, the typically slick action scenes.

I liked the father-daughter parallel of Rudd trying to be a decent dad, and Douglas trying the same thing too.

Another bald villain - oh we are persecuted. Absolutely fine.
