The Antman

The Antman is a lovinglymade but sluggish monstermovie parody done with Germanspeaking actors on a sparse soundstage standing in for 1950s Mexico Promising concept is bolstered by colorful performances by Gotz Otto and Lars Rudolph and the filmmakers have fun with pics look right down to tacky lighting worthy of Roger Corman But Marc Meyers script isnt fast or funny enough to keep pace with energetic visuals The first in a projected series of Bmovie homages grouped as Planet B the producers might want to call in Joe Dante to supervise the rest as Antman seems unlikely to crawl very far beyond its native borders
