The film "Man-ant": reviews. "The Man-Ant": actors and roles

In 2015, a fantastic film appeared telling a thief who had a unique opportunity not only to avoid prolonged arrest, but also to help a brilliant scientist to hide his designs from wealthy entrepreneurs.

The Man-Ant

Casual, it would seem, acquaintance, led to the birth of a new hero.

The main feature of the character of the comic book "Marvel", which narrates about the "Person-ants", is the ability to change the size of his will, while fully preserving the power qualities. For most of the movie, a thief named Scott will try to keep the costume that the talented biochemist created, and not let him take millionaire Darren.

By the time the article was written, the film "The Man-Ant" (released in July 2015) has already visited the cinemas of our country.

The creators of this film have already pleased the viewer with the first part of a fantastic action movie about "galactic guards" that came out in the world's rolling a year before this project.

Attitude to the film

Reviews "Man-ant" collected mostly positive. So, according to one of the reviewers, the film came out very good. Of course, it also has weaknesses, but still the positive qualities outweigh.

The film does not tell the story of the first "Man-ant" by Pim, but immediately acquaints us with Scott Lang - it's "the burglar" who leaves the prison building and tries to establish life on the loose. There is a place where even professional thieves are needed to save the world.

At this moment we get to know Cross, who was once a pupil of Pim. He succeeded in re-creating the technologies that his teacher developed, which allowed him to reduce both living objects and non-living objects. Hank Pim recruits Scott to use Lango's thieving skills to get the invention before the mass production of such costumes begins.

From this moment, the review "The Man-Ant" receives those that point to a big minus of the plot of the film, calling the main idea secondary, which is reminiscent of the first story of the "Iron Man". In addition, the villain, who is trying to sell technology to terrorists, the hero, who intends to prevent this - this is what reminds the events connected with the main negative hero Stein, the role at that time belonged to Jeff Bridges.

Undoubtedly, the film turned out spectacular and worth the time it spent watching.

Reviews "Man-Ant" received such that reflect another mention of a small puncture in the plot of the fantastic action movie. If you recall the scene when Cross shows the customers a ready-made sample of "Yellow Jacket", then he does not hide, says Hank, that those who want to buy this invention are people from the "hydra". Slightly frivolous.

Since the organization, which carried out the majority of its operations in complete secrecy, suddenly reveals its plans to a potential arms dealer - we are supposedly from the "hydra", intend to give you a lot of money for your creation, which will soon help us implement a plan to seize the world . It sounds somehow not particularly plausible.

In general, if you are a fan of the "Marvel" universe or just looking for an interesting and funny movie on the Internet, this movie will appeal to you. At this time, reviews "The Man-Ant" gets those who talk about him as a second significant project after the "Guardians of the Galaxy."

Interesting Facts

The first director could be Wright, in the distant 2003 the "Man-Ant" (film) could be the first discovery of a new generation of films in the cinema, but already in 2014 Edgar left the project, citing creative differences with the company "Marvel".

The helmet of the main character was copied from the image of the Iron Man and one of the transformers.

The actor Joseph Levitt was able to play "Person-ant", but he did not go further than viewing.

Initially, the plot of the fantastic action movie assumed that this would be Pim's story, but the psychological frustration of the main character could have a detrimental effect on the perception of the picture, so the creators decided to rewrite the script under Hank's successor.

By the way, with the role of biochemistry, too, there have been curious changes. The fact is that initially it could play Pierce Brosnan or Sean Bean, but as a result, Hank became a perfectly played way for Michael Douglas.

Because of the inability to adjust the timing of the shooting, the main female role was denied by actress Jessica Chestane. It is possible that at that time she was in the movie "Crimson Peak".

Actor Paul Rudd

Since Joseph was not approved for the role of Scott, it went to the actor who played in the "Apocalypse in Hollywood". In addition to the comedy about the end of the world, Paul was remembered as a rich man from another project - "Dinner with assholes". It was a little surprising to see a comedic actor in such a serious film as "The Man-Ant". But Rudd played great, having embodied on the screen a new superhero in the fight against injustice.

The role of the biochemist Hank

There is hardly anyone who did not hear what kind of actor Michael Douglas is. Prior to playing the role of biochemist in the film "Man-Ant", he managed to remember Russian viewers on other projects. Suffice it to recall the film "The Ghost and the Darkness" and the brilliantly performed role of Charles Remington, who hunted lion-eating cannibals. If you have not seen it for some reason, then here's another blockbuster - "Roman with a stone", where Douglas played the adventurer Jack Colton.

In the movie "The Man-Ant" the actors are chosen good, but no one can compare with the greatness of this movie star. Not in vain, in February last year, a parody film for "Basic Instinct" came out, but could not even get close to it - it's "50 shades of gray".

"Man-ant" - a film that only emphasized the acting of this talent.

A woman in a fantastic action movie

One of the central female roles was played by the actress Evangeline Lilly. The Russian viewer remembers her for participating in the "kinobomb", if it is possible to characterize the TV series "Staying Alive". However, it was a long time ago. And what about the movie "The Man-Ant"? Lilly played Scott's "rival", which throughout history, although it helped the protagonist, but at any opportunity, hinted at an erroneous decision of the biochemist. However, very soon she was able to see a positive result.

"Man-ant", the release date of which by the time of writing the article has already passed, did not become a serious test for Lilly. See her behind her six seasons of "survival".

The villain in action movie

The role of the main villain went to actor Cory Stall. The last mention, except for the "ant" - is the film "Air Marshal", where he played with Liam Nisan. In our case, Stall is Darren Cross, who is a disciple of Hank. His desire is to get hold of the costume of "Ant-Man" and release his mass production. No matter how trite, but here the evil is equated to the desire to earn millions, and embodied the image of the treacherous millionaire Corry.

On the subjective impression, after watching the movie, no roles Stoll in my head did not appear. Perhaps he appeared in some other pictures, but the author of the article probably did not see them.

And now, when much is told about the film "The Man-Ant", the actors and roles are described again, it's time to look in the direction of the one who gave us this film - the director of the new superhero.

Who created this ribbon

Peyton Reed - the man who took the chair of the director of a fantastic action movie, causes an association with the animated series "Back to the Future". Perhaps the recent review influenced this parallel. However, the film "Man-Ant" he turned out to be a real masterpiece that will take place in the history of cinematography as a new rethinking of all the released films about superheroes.

Without a doubt, this is the best creation, in recent years, although a lot of comic books have been filmed, even there have been cases of mixing different universes. It's nice that this film is different from the others. If you have not looked at it, then be sure to look.
