5. Ant-Man
The MCU movie that everyone talks s**t about is, it turns out, really wonderful.
Ant-Man is a playful, fun time that I'd call the most underrated MCU film, or maybe second most next to Doctor Strange. The light heist movie atmosphere adds a lot as well but the real reason this movie works is in the casting. Paul Rudd is an inspired choice, one of the most charismatic actors working today and Evangeline Lily is charming and badass in her own right. It's just a shame we had to wait until the sequel to get her in costume. Michael Douglass's Hank Pym adds a lot of intelligence and wit to a character who has been misused a lot in the comics. Also, Luis is the character find of the year. Michael Peña is so much fun and steals so many scenes. The visual effects are solid and the way the movie conceives of using size changing powers really does add a lot to the MCU.
How Does It Compare To The Comics?: it's a shifted version, but it pays solid homage to Scott Lang and the Ant-Man universe. A lot changes but the core stays the same. It's a much smaller movie, but that little package packs a lot of punch, a fun and charming"¦
