My question to how will this movie incorporate to the larger Marvel universe was answered when I watched the movie. I see now, there is no way we will feel the absence of the Avengers in this smaller movie.Marvel has done it again. This movie was funny, energetic and on top of all , it was very-very enjoyable! There was a lot of good stuff in the movie. I was stunned on how good they tackle the Father-Child relationship in this movie. This is Scott Lang and Hank Pym's story and they were executed well. Scott Lang is experiencing what Hank Pym was but in a different situation and scale. Speaking of scale, this movie's scale was small like literally, but the story and the plot was bigger than I thought. The story has layers and that is great. It is a heist movie with superheros plus some family relation and humor added to the mixture. If you ask me, its the perfect blend. The graphic was great. The shrinking scene was amazing.The action's scale felt big but in the end its not bigger than Thomas the Tank Engine. How cool was that. It is truly different than other Marvel movie we have seen before! The characters was great. Everyone from Paul Rudd, Micheal Douglas, Evangeline Lily, Corey Stoll to Micheal Pena was awesome. My favorite is definitely Paul Rudd and Micheal Pena. Its like they were both born to play the role. There were a lot of easter eggs and there were a lot of notable cameos. I mean like really big cameos! Really big. Wait for the end credits, you'll get what I meant.
On the flip side of the coin, this movie suffer from a slow start. There were a lot of exposition but I figured it might be needed for the progress of the movie. The villain, Yellow Jacket is also kinda weak. He had a backstory on why he became evil but its still not a great way to make us really feel for him. He is there on the top 5 if you want to put him in the Marvel villain list since Marvel has a lot of weak villain. Lastly, there were a character who was there for the sake of the plot. You know, Deus Ex Machina stuff but I guess I can just ignore it. For the sake of the plot!
Overall, I really enjoyed this movie. Like a lot. It was funny and fulled with thrilling and fresh actions that will make you go "Cool"(while smiling all by yourself). I sure had a lot of great laugh and yes, this is a heist movie. A pretty smart heist movie if you ask me. This is surely an A- from me. Recommended for all. One more thing, please wait until the end because there are two end credit scene. I was lest alone just now. People left without even thinking twice.
