Movie Review: ****The Ant-Man (2015)

Movie: The Ant Man
This is a fun movie.  I seem to love all the Marvel Comic movies.  Marvel Comics seems to always hit home runs with their movies, and this is in the same.  Scot (Paul Rudd) is a cat burglar.  He has recently been released from prison and wants to go straight to regain visitation with his daughter.   But he needs a job and money for an apartment.  Baskin Robbins lets him go when his past becomes known.  He finally takes a burglary job, and finds the only thing in the vault is a suit of some kind.  He tries it on, and discovers the suit makes him small.    He later finds out that he was permitted to steal the suit as he was actually being recruited by the suit’s creator Dr. Pym (Michael Douglas).   Dr. Pym needs help to thwart the efforts of his former assistant who forced him out of the company, Darren Cross/Yellow Jacket (Corey Stoll).  Helping Dr. Pym is his daughter, Hope (Evangeline Lilly) who is the inside person as she makes it look like she has abandoned her father for Cross.  Also helping the Ant Man are the ants, of several different varieties. 
Great action, and clever script.  Ant Man vs Yellow Jacket is a great series of confrontations.  Ant Man’s daughter gets involved by the Yellow Jacket and he has to save her.
