8 Unexpected Positives From Marvel's Ant-Man
6. The Action
As with any superhero movie, Ant-Man needed to deliver on the action sequences, and as shown in the trailer there was plenty of scope for it to have some fun with these.
Ant-Man and his nemesis Yellowjacket both have the ability to shrink and regrow pretty rapidly, with there being a greater force behind them when theyre tiny. This means that the fight sequences get to really show this off, quickly switching between big and small and the camera follows suit, making them really stand out from what Marvel has done before.
They generally manage to strike the balance between having these action scenes feel like theyre a genuine part of the superhero world, while keeping with the humorous tone that plays throughout the movie. The sequences may literally be on a much smaller scale to what were used to in a comic-book movie, but after a number of huge climactic battles in the sky its a refreshing change, and proof that bigger doesnt always mean better.
