This movie is just damn fun. We said it before and we’ll say it again: Paul Rudd. You cannot go wrong. But aside from the stuff we mentioned, Ant-Man is basically a genre exercise—the movie is super funny, and also basically a heist movie? Michael Peña is so great as Luis, best friend of Scott Lang (Rudd) and an ex-con in his own right. Evangeline Lily? Actually has great chemistry with Rudd. And Michael Douglas as Hank Pym? So, so good. I would probably say that outside of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Douglas as Pym is the best performance by a ‘legend’ actor in the MCU. This is one you can watch over and over again.

MCU understanding needed? None really. Some older films (Captain America: The First Avenger, Iron Man 2) add a bit of context to the opening scene, but it’s nothing you can’t pick up on your own. Also, Anthony Mackie is the Falcon and he’s an Avenger. You’re all caught up!
