29 - Ant-Man Review (2015)




Comics In Motion Podcast show

Summary: This 2015 movie brought about the close of Marvel's Phase Two and introduced Ant-Man to the Universe. In fact, not one but two of them! The marketing build up for this movie was more quiet than some of the other movies in the MCU and rumoured production issues along with a change of Director meant that expectations weren't as high as we may expect. And although late to the MCU party, Ant-Man was one of the first movies Stan Lee had seriously pitched, only to be derailed with the release of Honey I Shrunk the Kids.In the comics, Hank Pym actually appeared with his shrinking formula in a short story in Tales to Astonish #27 and was created by Stan Lee, Larry Leiber and Jack Kirby. Later in Tales to Astonish #35, Stan Lee decided to bring him back as a superhero named Ant-Man. After Hank Pym, both Scott Lang and Eric O'Grady have taken the Ant-Man personas, with the former being the main protagonist in this movie. Some movie details: IMDB rating: 7.3 Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score: 86% There are SPOILERS!
