“Ant-Man and The Wasp” hits U.S. theaters on July 6, 2018.
“Face front” all you Marvel-maniacs! The movie universe is expanding by actually getting…smaller. When we last visited the studio mega-franchise, just about ten weeks ago, metallic maniac Ultron ( a really major fail from Stark Industries) was out to destroy humanity until the Avengers (lead by the big heavy-hitters like Thor and the Hulk) pulled the plug on his plans. And story lines were in place for a new cosmic menace. But this new entry is not set way, way up there like last Summer’s surprise smash GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. Our new hero is more down to Earth (many times he’s a fraction of an inch from Earth). Non-comics fans may be surprised that he’s actually one of the earliest Marvel characters, almost pre-dating the age of heroes by his introduction in the SF suspense story titled “The Man in the Ant Hill” from the anthology book “Tales to Astonish”, issue #27. Soon that title subject, scientist Henry Pym, donned some tights to become ANT-MAN and was the lead hero for that book. Eventually, he and his fiancée Janet Van Dyke (now his crime-fighting partner in size, the wondrous “Wasp”) were founding members of the Avengers along with Iron Man, Thor, and the Hulk. But while those other heroes gained fans becoming Marvel icons, Hank and Janet didn’t enjoy the same adulation, even after Pym adjusted his powers so he could also grow as “Giant-Man” (hey, he was the one that pulled the “Cap-cicle” out of the sea). Not longer after, they shared the “Astonish” book with the Hulk, and were eventually booted out in favor of Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner (former villain, now aquatic hero). The Pyms continued to be mainstays of The Avengers monthly with Hank adopting the new persona of the arrogant “Yellowjacket” during a memorable story arc. Then in the mid-seventies, Marvel decided to relaunch Ant-Man as a solo star. But Pym would not be donning the helmet and spandex, instead former criminal Scott Lang would take over as the insect-sized adventurer. It’s Mr. Lang who’s at the helm of the new Marvel Studios release, ANT-MAN.
The action begins in a prologue prior to the now familiar red-tinted, flipping comics pages logo. We’re more than 25 years in the past as secretive science genius Dr. Henry “Hank” Pym (Michael Douglas) quite forcefully refuses to hand his miracle creation, the “Pym Particle” which can shrink the space between the body’s molecules allowing a person to become a tiny warrior, to the leaders of S.H.I.E.L.D. (a couple of said leaders are familiar faces). The secret will stay with him, even to the president day as he visits his former tech company Pym Labs (Henry was voted out by the board several years ago). He’s met by his daughter Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), who lead the coup fueling their strained relationship. In one of the research rooms, they join a big group to hear the presentation by Pym’s old protegé, and now head of the firm, Darren Cross (Corey Stoll). Cross touts his new variation on Pym’s formula (Hank’s kept it to himself), insisting the they’ll soon crack the code and be able to shrink living beings as part of the “Yellowjacket” project and an unstoppable military and covert fighting force. This greatly concerns Henry. Meanwhile Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) is finally released from San Quentin. Known as a “cyber Robin Hood”, Lang had learned that his former employers in the banking industry were bilking his customers of billions, so he snuck in and restored the depleted accounts. But after he was busted and did his time, nobody will give him a job or a break other than his old co-hort (his “Friar Tuck”), Luis (Michael Pena). When he shows up uninvited to the birthday party of his six year-old daughter Cassie (Abby Ryder Fortson), Scott is told by ex-wife Maggie (Judy Greer) and her new beau, a police detective (!) named Paxton (Bobby Cannavale), that there will no visitation until he gets a steady job and sends child support. Scott’s in a corner, so he finally tells Luis that he’ll be part of a “sure thing” burglary along with hacker Kurt (David Dastmalchian) and “wheelman” Dave (T.I.). But when Lang breaks into the safe in the deserted house he only finds a weird motorcycle outfit (an od metal helmet and a red and grey jumpsuit). He’s been set up by…well, needless to say the con and the brain are soon a very unlikely team in a race against time to stop Cross from selling his deadly tech to the highest bidders.
Casting a super-hero can get pretty tricky (see Seth Rogan as the GREEN HORNET…or…maybe not). Happily reluctant hero Lang is a perfect fit for the ever-charming Rudd, who’s closer in style to Robert Downey, Jr. than the Chris trio (Hemsworth, Evans, and Pratt). Rudd gets to run the gamut of emotions in the role: despair, desperation, determination, panic, unease, and ultimately focused courage, all the while never losing that expert comic timing. His Ant-Man is really every man. On the more serious (really nearly totally somber) is Douglas as Rudd’s surrogate teacher/father. He’s Obi-Wan Kenobi crossed with Doc Brown and Fred MacMurray from the flubber flicks. Pym’s haunted by a devastating past loss, but he’s got to set it aside in order to turn the reins (and the ants) over to Lang. Lilly as his daughter is not so quick to put aside that loss, and for much of the film, she keeps that chip, along with countless others, on her shoulders. Hope is almost the “rom-com” “uptight” business woman with a heart of ice that the hero must try to thaw. She’s somewhat hampered by the severe bob cut, a hairstyle that invokes the Wasp’s 60’s pageboy. As one of Lilly’s former co-stars might say, “Gotta’ see yer’ eyes, freckles.”. Menace emanates from Stoll in her first scene (another bald villain, like Jeff Bridges in the first IRON MAN? C’mon Marvel Studios!). He’s a cold, heartless cobra attired in a slick $1000 suit. Take the kiddies out to the lobby for a scene of casual cruelty with a co-worker who disagreed with him that matches any of Loki’s most vile, vicious acts. It takes some time for him to ascend to full super-villain status, but it’s worth the wait since Stoll makes a truly formidable foe. Thankfully Pena is there for some great comic relief as the always excited and often giddy Luis. His stories of past interactions are some of the film’s hilarious highlights (and dig the ultra-cool bartender in the final story). Actually he’s the leader of a pretty great comedy team (Pyms refers to them as “those three wombats) with the entertaining T.I. and Dastmalchian. Cannavale is terrific as the exasperated cop, who can’t seem to get away from his girlfriend’s ex. And Fortson, with the wide “parking lot” grin, just may be this Summer’s most adorable moppet.
There’s been considerable articles over the last few months concerning the behind the scenes turmoil occurring during this film’s production (it’s been in the works for several years). Beloved director Edgar Wright (SHAUN OF THE DEAD) left for the film before shooting began. This has caused many to muse about how a Wright-directed Ant-Man would play, and coming down on the finished film, because it’s not how they imagined Wright would have done it. This isn’t fair since the Wright Ant-Man doesn’t exist other than in the minds of many fans. The Peyton Reed ANT-MAN does and is in theatres now. And Mr. Reed, who is mainly known for comedies like THE BREAK-UP, and BRING IT ON. proves to be an excellent action, fantasy, SF film maker. He evokes that child-like sense of wonder, especially as Scott first shrinks down in a bathtub that seems several football fields long, to those tentative encounter with some terrific CGI ants (A BUG’S LIFE and ANTZ have nothin’ on “Ant-ony” and his pals). In the former sequence we recall those great late show staples like DR. CYCLOPS and THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, even the kitchy TV classic “Land of the Giants”, but with truly state of the art EFX. With the later, Scott, riding atop a carpenter ant with buzzing wings, seems like a real world AVATAR or a high-tech Lone Ranger. In one scene, he leads the ants on a charge like Tarzan and his elephants in the finale of most of the MGM series. Those “picnic crashers” are pretty handy (could this make the return of “Ant Farms” as kids toys?). The tone may be thanks to the screenplay and story that Wright worked on, along with Joe Cornish and polished by Adam McKay and Rudd himself! And the film is more independent of the Marvel movie-verse than the other entries (save for those GUARDIANS). However we do meet another hero, and as we learned from MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS and 50 years of Marvel comics, when heroes first meet, battle ensues! The best thing about this film may be the lack of non-stop destruction that usually takes up the last act of super-hero movies. No “disaster porn” here, although a home remodeler will surely have to be called. Oh, and one building does exp…er…implode! Clocking in at just a tad over 2 hours (the post credits scene is back! Yeah!), it avoids the blockbuster ‘bloat” and wafts thru the multiplex on a breezy script full of charm and wit. As much as I love Cap, the Avengers, and the Guardians, this may be the most entertaining, all-audiences, kid-friendly Marvel movie since the first IRON MAN in 2008. ANT-MAN proves that good, fun things really do come in the teeny, tiniest of packages (and heroes).
If you follow film news or write for a film website, it’s nearly impossible to watch ANT-MAN and not think of its tumultuous behind-the-scenes journey. Both Joss Whedon and James Gunn have praised the original script written by Edgar Wright’s and Joe Cornish. Marvel brought down the house at Comic-Con in 2012 when they showed Wright’s test footage from the just announced film. Combining Wright’s singular visual storytelling with the unique world of Ant-Man seemed like a perfect pairing. But then something happened. What exactly that something is and how it played out is still a subject of online forums and lengthy articles. All that we definitely know is that Wright was no longer the director of ANT-MAN. Being such a fan of his filmmaking style that perfectly balances sharp wit, exciting action, and kinetic camerawork, I can’t help but wonder what Wright’s version of ANT-MAN would have been like. His ideas still fill the story but the parts that feel the most like him don’t feel exactly right. The timing is off. The visuals don’t pop as much. The chemistry between the actors is not there. These are all factors in what makes Wright’s films work as well as they do. ANT-MAN on the other hand doesn’t work. Like at all. Marvel has had their fair share of ups and downs, but ANT-MAN stands as their weakest entry to date and makes me even more concerned for future Marvel projects.
Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) has created a new scientific breakthrough: the Pym Particle. But his company doesn’t appreciate his advances and he is quickly ushered out of his position as the head of the company. His daughter Hope (Evangeline Lilly) still holds much weight within the company but doesn’t trust their new leader Darren Cross (Corey Stoll). In order to protect the company from heading into a deadly direction, Hank Pym hires the help of a convicted criminal and master thief to break into the company to prevent their future plans. Armed with Hank’s incredible shrinking suit and an ability to communicate with ants, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) becomes the Ant-Man.
Marvel has tried with the recent Phase Two films to differentiate each new entry from the last. For example, WINTER SOLDIER was more of a political thriller; IRON MAN 3 was a buddy-cop action film; GUARDIANS was a sci-if space adventure. ANT-MAN follows this trend of dabbling in different genres and can be best described as a mix of a comedy and heist film. Unfortunately the film doesn’t succeed in either respect.
Try as he may, Paul Rudd’s natural charisma and easy smile can’t save an endless amount of jokes and one-liners that simply fall flat. Whether it’s the direction by Peyton Reed or the script re-write by Adam McKay and Paul Rudd I’m not entirely sure (Joe Cornish and Edgar Wright wrote the original script). The film may be book ended with some high moments, but unfortunately the middle sags tremendously and misses the point of fun heist films.
The heist film is one of my favorite genres. I love the gradual building to an unbelievable or nearly impossible task. Seeing someone train or prepare to pull off the heist creates an anticipation to the point that when the climactic event happens, the audience is just as ready as the hero on screen. ANT-MAN doesn’t capture this. Sure, we see Scott practice shrinking to size under the guidance of Hank and Hope, but the suspense or fun is missing. Essentially the “cool” feeling is missing – that feeling you get when watching a film like OCEAN’S ELEVEN or MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. Instead we are given one clunky, verbose speech after another by Michael Douglas and Evangeline Lilly. Their characters spend more time explaining what is happening and spelling out every character thought and motivation, instead of Reed showing the audience this through actions or simply just letting the audience enjoy the ride.
Outside of just the clunky script and unnatural lines of dialogue that many of the actors practically fumble over (Lily actually exclaims to the villain at one point, “Your brain is being effected by the…” insert pseudo-science brain wave jargon), the sense of wonder and awe is entirely missing once Scott learns to shrink to ant-size. The scene when he first puts on the suit should be a defining moment. He’s standing in front of a mirror and walks slowly backward into a bathtub. And yet, when he finally pushes the button and shrinks down in size… I felt nothing. I was let down. Sure we know it’s coming, but we also knew that Tony Stark was going to put on the Mach I suit and kick some ass. The scene isn’t played as a big moment (pun not intended) and isn’t a “WOW!” moment. What makes it worse are the effects once he is shrunk down. The Marvel films have showed us awe-inspiring CGI worlds, creatures, and characters, but this is without a doubt their cheapest looking film. Seeing a human run from a rushing wave of bathtub water should not elicit a yawn. Suffice to say, Ant-Man’s microscopic world of wonders is not a marvel to behold.
Where the film managed to sneak a laugh or two out of me was at the beginning and the end. Almost immediately we meet a crew of thieves and hackers that border on caricature but manage to be a highlight in large part because of the actors. Michael Pena has always been a character actor who manages to create a unique persona even if he’s just standing in the background. Here his comedic timing is put to good use. There’s a couple of instances where he’s asked to recount a chain of events, and these narrated flashbacks never got old. Likewise, the finale stands as one of the funniest and most inventive Marvel has staged yet. Staging the final fight in… well… seeing it will be a better surprise than me telling you. It speaks volumes that these two elements work the best and show the most influence of Edgar Wright.
ANT-MAN stands as the dark spot in the Marvel canon – because of both the behind-the-scenes drama and the lack of good drama on-screen. More and more we hear from directors that have worked for the studio and have expressed their lack of creative freedom. Both Alan Taylor and Joss Whedon have discussed this in interviews. The formula has taken precedence over the artist’s vision. Conveying a new character in the most digestible fashion as possible for an audience that is only familiar with known names like the Hulk and Captain America is their new goal. Not to mention, having to shoehorn other Marvel characters into these new character’s stories so that audiences can understand that they “fit” into the Marvel universe – like what they clumsily do in ANT-MAN – is a lazy way to connect all these films without letting their individual stories stand on their own. If Marvel continues this trend, I won’t have as much confidence for their future projects as I once did when IRON MAN once entertained me.
