In 2015, a science fiction film was released that tells about a thief, who received a unique opportunity not only to avoid a long arrest, but also to help a brilliant scientist to hide his developments from wealthy entrepreneurs.
Ant man
A random, seemingly acquaintance, led to the birth of a new hero.
The main feature of the character of the Marvel comic book, which tells of Ant Man, is the ability to change size of his own free will, while fully preserving strength. For most of the film, a thief named Scott will try to keep the costume, which was created by a talented biochemist, secret, and prevent the millionaire Darren from capturing it.
By the time this article was written, the film "Ant Man" (release date - July 2015) had already visited cinemas in our country.
The creators of this film have already managed to please the viewer with the first part of the fantastic action movie about the "galactic guards", which went on sale worldwide a year before this project.
Attitude to the film
Reviews "Ant-Man" collected mostly positive. So, according to one of the reviewers, the movie came out very good. Of course, she also has weaknesses, but still the positive qualities outweigh.
The film does not tell the story of the first “Ant-Man” by Pim, but immediately introduces us to Scott Lang - it is a “housekeeper” who leaves the prison building and tries to establish a free life. There is room for the occasion when even professional thieves are needed to save the world.
At this moment, we meet Cross, who was once a student of Pym. He managed to succeed in recreating the technologies that his teacher developed, which made it possible to reduce both living objects and non-living objects. Hank Pim recruits Scott to use Lango’s thieves' skills to get an invention before the mass production of such suits begins.
From this moment on, Ant-Man receives reviews that indicate a big minus of the plot of the movie, calling the main idea secondary, which reminds the main story of the first story about Iron Man. In addition, the villain who is trying to sell technology to terrorists, the hero who intends to prevent this - this is what reminds me of the events connected with Stein's main negative hero, the role at that time belonged to Jeff Bridges.
Undoubtedly, the film was spectacular and worth the time spent watching.
Reviews "Ant-Man" received such that reflect another mention of a small puncture in the plot of a fantastic action movie. If you recall the scene when Cross shows the finished sample of the Yellow Jacket to customers, then he, without hiding, tells Hank that those who want to acquire this invention are people from Hydra. A bit frivolous.
Since the organization, which conducted most of its operations in complete secrecy, suddenly discloses its plans to a potential arms seller, we, they say, from Hydra, intend to give you a lot of money for your creation, which will soon help us implement a plan to capture the world . Sounds somehow not very believable.
In general, if you are a fan of the Marvel universe or just looking for an interesting and fun movie on the Internet, then this movie will appeal to you. At the moment, Ant-Man is receiving reviews that speak of him as the second significant project after Guardians of the Galaxy.
Interesting Facts
The first director could be Wright, back in 2003, Ant-Man (film) could be the first discovery of a new generation of films in cinema, but in 2014 Edgar left the project, citing creative differences with Marvel.
The helmet of the main character was copied from the image of Iron Man and one of the transformers.
Actor Joseph Levitt could play The Ant-Man, but he did not go beyond the viewing.
Initially, the plot of the fantastic action movie suggested that this would be the story of Pim, but the psychological disorder of the main character could adversely affect the perception of the picture, so the creators decided to rewrite the script for Hank's successor.
By the way, with the role of biochemist there were also interesting changes. The fact is that initially it could be played by Pierce Brosnan or Sean Bean, but as a result, Hank became a beautifully played way for Michael Douglas.
Due to the inability to adjust the time of the shooting, the actress Jessica Chastain refused the main female role. It is possible that at that time she starred in the film "Crimson Peak."
Actor Paul Rudd
Since Joseph was not approved for the role of Scott, she went to the actor who played in the Apocalypse in Hollywood. In addition to a comedy on the topic of the end of the world, Paul was remembered as a rich man from another project - Dinner with Dukes. It was a little surprising to see a comedian in such a serious film as Ant-Man. But Rudd played great, embodying a new superhero on the screen in the fight against injustice.
The role of Hank's biochemist
There is hardly a person who has not heard what kind of actor Michael Douglas is. Before playing the role of a biochemist in the film "Ant-Man", he managed to be remembered by Russian viewers on other projects. It is enough to recall the film “Ghost and Darkness” and the brilliantly performed role of Charles Remington, who hunted cannibalistic lions. If for some reason you didn’t see him, then here’s another blockbuster for you - “Novel with a Stone”, where Douglas played the adventurer Jack Colton.
In the film "Ant-Man" the actors are selected good, but no one can compare with the greatness of this movie star. Not in vain last February a parody film was released on "Basic Instinct", but could not even get closer to it - it's "50 shades of gray."
Ant-Man is a film that only emphasized the acting of this talent.
Woman in a fantastic action movie
One of the central female roles was played by actress Evangeline Lilly. The Russian audience remembers her by participating in the "movie bomb", if you can characterize the series "Lost". However, it was a long time ago. And what about the film "Ant-Man"? Lilly played Scott's rival here, who throughout history, although helping the protagonist, at any opportunity, hinted at the biochemist's erroneous decision. True, very soon she was able to see a positive result.
Ant-Man, whose release date had already passed by the time this article was written, was not a serious test for Lilly. See behind her six seasons of “survival”.
Action Villain
The role of the main villain went to actor Corey Stoll. The last mention, except for the "ant" is the film "Air Marshal", where he played with Liam Nisan. In our case, Stoll is Darren Cross, who is a student of Hank. His desire is to take possession of the Ant-Man costume and launch its mass production. No matter how trite, but here evil is equated with the desire to earn millions, and embodied the image of the insidious millionaire Corrie.
According to the subjective impression, after watching the movie, no Stoll’s roles appeared in his head. Perhaps he appeared in some other paintings, but the author of the article probably did not see them.
And now, when a lot has been said about the film "Ant-Man", the actors and roles are again described, it's time to look towards the person who presented us with this film - the director of a new superhero.
Who created this feed
Peyton Reed - the man who took the chair of the director of a fantastic action movie, is associated with the animated series "Back to the Future." Perhaps a recent viewing has affected a similar parallel. However, the film "Ant Man" he turned out to be a real masterpiece, which will take its place in the history of cinema as a new rethinking of all released films about superheroes.
Without a doubt, this is the best creation in recent years, although many comics have been made into films, there have even been cases of mixing different universes. It's nice that this film is different from the others. If you have not watched it, then be sure to look.
