LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated Ant-Man (2015) in Movies
Dec 17, 2020
It has a great cast, who all share great chemistry, it has some decent and different action scenes, it's frequently funny (the Thomas the Tank Engine crash is iconic by this point), it deals with the Scott Lang Ant-Man whilst providing a satisfactory backstory for Hank Pym, it's a damn good heist movie, and above all, it's its own thing, even if it does have a scene connecting it to the larger MCU.
It's not perfect - once again another MCU film suffers from an expendable villain, a lot of the plot is just Iron Man (genius scientist gets ousted from his company by an angry bald white man who then tries to kill him whilst wearing a variant of his own super suit), but if you can manage to mute that nagging part of your brain, you'll find an intelligent and hugely entertaining heist adventure, all wrapped up in an MCU filter. It's great.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Baby Driver (2017) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
From Edgar Wright, the director of Hot Fuzz, comes a movie that has mixed an all-out action movie with breathtaking car chases, humour and one hell of a soundtrack that is beautifully edited into the scenes of the movie to create something that is not only a pleasure to watch but also has your heart thumping and your toes tapping.
Right from the very start of Baby Driver the film lifts you up, as Baby and the crew stop to do a heist, Baby stays in the car ready for the getaway, he selects Bellbottoms by The John Spencer Blues Experience and sings along and drops some moves in the car, with a great track to start the film with and Baby (Ansel Elgort) showing that this movie is going to rock, how could we not look forward to more.
