Thank you, Amazon reviewers!
I had made up my mind to skip this movie, even though I am a fan of the actors, the genre, and have seen every other Marvel movie. If I hadn't looked at the well-written, comprehensive and positive reviews here, I would have missed what is undoubtedly one of the best Marvel films to date! You can read all these great reviews here, so I will keep this short and sweet!.
This was a joy to watch, innovative, with just the right blend of action, tension, family, incredible special effects, etc. Michael Douglas was fantastic as always, Paul Rudd took a strange role in a genre he is not used to and made it his own. Michael Pena was brilliant, and added some excellent comedic timing, with the lip syncing bits practically stealing the show. And Evangeline Lily, you simply have to appreciate for the ability to portray a strong, sexy woman who can hold her own, can still show some emotion, and all without relying on tactics like butt shots and thigh high slit skirts. As she was referred to in the film - "the mean pretty lady".
You'll laugh, you'll be astonished, you might even tear up a bit (not me, but maybe you), you'll cheer. As with all Marvel films, wait for the final credits to finish, and let the anticipation begin!
