However, when his ex-protoge also managed to unlock the secrets of the Pym particle (which allows the user to shrink or grow), Hank Pym - and his daughter, as played by Evangeline Lilly - must find a way to stop him from selling his yellow jacket suit to the highest bidder (ie Hydra: "they're not what they used to be"), which is where the cat burglar Scott Lang comes in.
And, I'll admit, I laughed the first time at the Thomas the Tank Engine bit.

After a young Irish girl leaves her family to come to the US, she meets a young man who falls for her. Tragedy strikes back at home and the young woman has to make some difficult choices and decide what makes her happy.
Who says you need lots of characters, a complicated story and/or CGI characters to make a movie great? This movie has none of those things yet I thought it was very satisfying. I was hoping she would decide her life in a certain way and was happy when she did.
The movie looked marvelous and the acting was all great!
