Ant-Man

Directed by Peyton Reed and starring Paul Rudd, Ant-Man is certainly a unique film within the successful Marvel film universe, being the most family friendly of the bunch. I was pleasantly surprised, as I certainly had my doubts and lacked enthusiasm at the mere mention of the film and cast.  It's a humorous, caper style of a film who's main characters are motivated by redemption for their families. A great supporting cast it also has, but Rudd was certainly an unexpected surprise in bringing a certain flawed and humorous every-man persona with an endearing freshness to the role. It's the unexpected charm of Ant-Man that adds a pleasant departure to the usual larger than life (pun intended), amped up Marvel franchise and simultaneously gives us arguably one of the most relatable of the Avengers.
