People may see Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man as a superhero movie. What they may not see is that it is also a story about relationships. The relationships among the different characters in its story make it stand out from other superhero films and also make it very entertaining to watch.
The movie continues the story of Scott Lang, Hank Pym, and Hope Van Dyne. Scott Lang is under house arrest and the Pyms are being hunted as criminals. Scott finds out that Hank and Hope are building some sort of machine to rescue Janet Van Dyne and offers to help. Their quest becomes complicated when Ghost appears and also wants to use the machine to cure herself of her condition. It is up to Scott, Hank and Hope to defeat Ghost, avoid the police and bring Janet back.
The trivia of the movie is just as interesting as the movie itself. The study shows that the film is barely a box-office success. It earned $75.8 million in the during its first-weekend run. As of now, it has earned $195.6 million in the United States. This means that it is not Marvel Studios most successful film even if it made them some money.
In general, the film is both similar and different to other Marvel Studios movies. It is similar in the sense that if shows superheroes using fantastic powers, fighting villains and helping people. It also continues a storyline set in the original movie. Marvel Studios is fond of using long-running storylines (such as in the different Avengers movies) and this film is no different from others.
However, Ant-Man is still different from other films because it shows that the villain does not have to be killed or arrested to be defeated. Other movies such as the original Ant-Man film show the hero clearly defeating the villain in the usual way. This is not the case with the sequel.
Relationships are very important in this movie. They serve as the key that helps the heroes defeat the main villain. In fact, it is the characters’ relationships with each other that help them win.
This point on relationships is what makes Ant-Man important as a work of art and culture. It reflects a growing trend in the world that pushes people to work together and see the similarities between them, not the differences. The fact that the characters cooperate with the main villain at some point shows that people can put their differences aside and work as a team. This sends a strong message and moral lesson to its target audience: families. It is no surprise that the main heroes in the film are a family, too.
Overall, the movie offers a good, entertaining show. The film shines when it shows how relationships between people affect others for good or for evil. It does this in funny ways. For example, the actors crack jokes during tense situations. They do this when they help each other out, especially during the battle scenes. It may not be Marvel Studios’ best or deepest film yet it is still fun to watch.
However, the movie is not perfect. Ant-Man is basically more of the same. It offers a lot of the same “feel-good” vibes that are found in the original movie. It is also a shame that audiences do not get to see Bill Foster’s character in costume. The mid-credits scene can also be rather depressing.
In general, critics such as Simon Abrams share my view on the film. They gave it a generally positive review. However, they also noted that it is “good enough but not the best”.
As for me, I engaged with the movie because I am a big fan of superhero films. When news of this movie came out, I watched all the trailers on YouTube and waited for it to come out in theaters.
In summary, Ant-Man is a film for families and a film about families. It is not the best film that Marvel Studios has come up with yet it is still entertaining to watch. At the very least, watching the film taught me that being part of a family means more than just sharing the same blood. It also means being willing to help others even as they help you in return.
