Taking a step back from the Marvel Cinematic Universe's usual scenes of large-scale destruction and scenarios of a world waiting to be saved, Ant-Man presents a naive superman story that explores the magnitude of downsizing both literally and figuratively. Directed by Peyton Reed, the film boldly embraces a genre the MCU had never encountered before: the heist film. As someone who spent years in prison and is struggling to rebuild his life, Scott Lang is quite a far cry from the classic superhero profile. He carries no state secrets on his shoulders, no legendary past on his back; all he has is the longing to be a good father in his little daughter's eyes. This very ordinariness becomes the film's most powerful weapon. Paul Rudd's genuine and slightly self-deprecating energy brings both humor and genuine affection to Scott. The audience is worried about him; because this is someone they have something to lose. In the other half of the film, we see Hank Pym, played by Michael Douglas. This character, both wise and fragile, who has borne the burden of protecting the technology he created for decades, goes far beyond an ordinary mentor figure. The relationship between them stems from insecurity and obligation; this makes their shared journey more realistic and worth watching. The shrinking mechanics, on the other hand, give the film a completely different visual language. Bathroom tiles turn into cliffs, toy trains into deadly vehicles, and ants into loyal armies. This scene setup is both clever and entertaining. The director manages to project small-scale danger onto the screen with great tension, and the result is a viewing experience that is well above expectations. Ant-Man invites you not to the weariness of carrying the fate of the world, but to what it means to do what is right for a single person. Instead of massive explosions, precise calculations; instead of chaotic battles, a skillfully devised plan. And at the heart of it all is a quiet but enduring feeling that, regardless of the scale, it is possible to start over.

When one thinks of a typical super-hero actioner, they imagine the boisterous boundaries that are associated with such an explosive genre: eye-popping special effects, outlandish and grand-standing villains, world domination escapades, complex yet flashy super-heroes that seem unreal and unapologetic and a big scale of unbelievable escapism that is tellingly becoming of a comic book epic on the big screen for the hungry eyes of the giddy moviegoer. Remember, all these described elements are not ...

The Pocket Rocket. Given the production problems and its long gestation period, Ant-Man is arguably far better than it had right to be. Unsurprisingly with a Marvel Super Hero film, the critical reactions have been mixed, but given it's not as gargantuan as most Marvel pics it proves to have a big entertaining heart. A pic cunningly viewing the Marvel Universe from a different angle, whilst also not over egging the pudding. The effects work is impressive, the origin story narrative engross...

> Size doesn't matter if he's a superhero who committed to save the world. My confession is I never read 'Ant-man' comics and I never knew such kind of superhero even exist in Marvel till this movie was announced. (But I know Danish film 'Antboy'.) So I'm glad they brought cinematic version of 'Ant-man' and I'm sure he'll return to the next 'Avengers' as they promoted strongly in this film itself to know what would be the audience response. I don't know others, but I definitely welcome the id...

I like Paul Rudd and was hoping this would be as funny as 'The Guardians of the Galaxy' but it wasn't. It looked good and the direction was solid but I think it suffered from the constant screenplay rewrites that the film underwent by changing the screenwriters (Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish). I also felt it was a bit too long-winded and it was unbalanced. However, the main good feature in this film was the special effects. ★★★

I have to say that I did not have great hopes for this movie. However, I found it surprisingly enjoyable. As can be expected from a Marvel super hero movie it is not the most intelligent plot around but instead rather heavy on special effects. Having said that the plot is not bad given the context. I have never read any of the Ant-Man comics so I had no idea what to expect. The little expectation I had was of some guy turning into some ant like creature smashing things left right and center. ...

Less spectacle than most MCU films have been serving up, particularly in phase two, but the story and characterisation is actually a little stronger than the past couple of tales Marvel has served up. Villain Darren Cross, AKA “Yellowjacket” (originally a hero in the comics) lacks the onscreen presence of top tier Marvel-evil Loki, but is certainly one of the stronger offerings the MCU has given us. His twisted relationship with his former mentor gives another level to this Marvel film not se...

***Ant-Man?*** Released in 2015, "Ant-Man" stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, a cat burglar who is offered redemption and the opportunity to be a hero. Michael Douglas plays his mentor, Hank Pym, and Evangeline Lilly Pym's daughter; meanwhile Corey Stoll co-stars as the heavy. In my vast arsenal of old comics I have only one issue where Ant-Man is the main star: Marvel Feature #10, which featured Hank Pym as the hero, not to mention his wife, the Wasp, AKA Janet van Dyne. The character's run...

Ant-Man is a much needed breath of fresh air from all the city-breaking, galaxy saving epicness of the past five Marvel movies. It's a nice, light, fun heist movie with some pretty cool effects and a great cast of characters. Michael Pena, T.I. and David Dastmalchian make this movie so much more enjoyable. Not that Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, and Corey Still aren't great, but those three as a sidekick trio crack me up. Edgar Wright's stamp is all over this movie and it's ...

Much better than anticipated, I actually thoroughly enjoyed <em>'Ant-Man'</em>. The concept is silly, but I felt it made it work very well. It starts off as more Paul Rudd-esque than Marvel-esque, especially with the comedy. I wasn't expecting much from it at that point, not that it was necessarily bad or anything but it wasn't what I'd expect from an MCU film. However, positively, it turns into something that fits in this universe. I enjoyed the action, score and humour. The cast do good ...

This movie is like a mix of honey I shrunk the kids' with some action in it, and it's made by Marvel. Plus it's really funny.

Not the best in the Marvel series, Thor is my favorite (sorry). But this was pretty cool, funny had a good story and plot was decent. Solid movie by Marvel only the later ones are starting to disappoint! But that is more due to bad story lines. So good job guys.
