This is more nonsense. Marvel keeps rehashing the same garbage. The actors are likable enough, but they can't help this overlong silly movie. People will defend anything Marvel puts out, but I won't. It was boring.

I think I have superhero movie fatigue and need to give this genre a break for a bit. Marvel have been saturating the market with similar films too much recently. If there was one superhero film every one or two years I'm sure I would have liked this more. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The concept of subatomic theory was indeed, marvelous. Hank Pym as the old character was quite a good twist as well. I have no problems with its story.

However. . .

Having the ability of shrinking to a size of an ant (or maybe much smaller than an ant) is quite intriguing but quite nonsense when the soldiers engaging Ant Man. He shrinks, people should be wondering where he is. Not like "Oh he shrinks. With my naked eye, I could actually see him". It's already states clearly to the audience. The suit is a myth. Heck, not even the guards should know the existence of the suit. Why did they act like they knew the existence of the suit? And the most illogical scene is where Darren Cross shoots the hell out of the flies. He can accurately shot Anthony with his naked eyes. Human naked eyes. Is that even logic? MCU should do better than this. And because of this nonsense, I have to say no.

I got dragged to see this when I was home visiting family. It's exactly what you'd expect from a Marvel movie: characters are either good or bad, not in between; you'll groan at most of the one-liners, but a couple might make you laugh; thereI got dragged to see this when I was home visiting family. It's exactly what you'd expect from a Marvel movie: characters are either good or bad, not in between; you'll groan at most of the one-liners, but a couple might make you laugh; there will be a fight scene at the end that keeps you entertained; etc.

So it's not a good movie if you want anything original, meaningful, beautiful, etc.

Bottom line: If you want to see a Marvel movie, you know what you want. This will suffice. If you love cinema, you can skip this one.

There was almost nothing new, plot line similar to anyAntman is one those marvel movies which treats the audience as stupid. With a few Dark Physics terminologies then can make anything realistic even though plot has gigantic loop holes. There was almost nothing new, plot line similar to any action movie. Paul Rudd was the worst mistake of the film makers, that guy is not a superhero material. Michael Dauglas being the second one. And their chemistry is worst at times. There is no adventure at all, and from the start, the goal was confined and very small that offered no fun moment or test ride. Total waste of time and money... Expand

A former friend of his betrays him, takes over his company, and plots to subjugate the entire world and humanity stealing his technology and transforming it into a deadly weapon.

I'm sure most people reading this are scratching their heads and wondering "Um is this guy dense? I think he accidentally clicked on the wrong movie to write a review for. He just summarized the plot of Iron Man." Well, you're not wrong. Know why? Because Ant Man has the EXACT SAME PLOTS as Iron Man. Seriously its not hard to see the writers at Marvel Studios are just being lazy and recycling the same old plots over and over again. It's the same thing happening with the Avengers movies. Thumbs down!

P.S. I bet you're wondering why I gave a 2 and not a straight-up 0. That's because the movie made me laugh like hell! That part of the movie you might enjoy. Otherwise, I don't recommend.

No matter how hard they try to make a mountain out of an ant hill - caper, characters and conversations fall flat. If those of age toss back a shot everytime they hear the word "daughter" or "hero" - you might enjoy the last fifteen minutes- where only size matters. Expand

The only reason why I give this movie score one and not zero i because of the line from the movie when Paul Rudd says to Michael Douglas "Who are you, who is she, what the hell is going on, and can I go back to jail now?"

Otherwise, it's a terrible superhero movie. Let me just make it clear here that I do not use the same criteria for all movie genres. Superhero movies get lower criteria in terms of acting, story credibility, character development. There are always dumb aspects of story in such movies, however they make up for such deficiencies in spectacular scenes and entertainment. For many of us, the main value is just bringing our favorite comic book characters to life. Many people are wrong to overcriticize superhero movies. They are not supposed to give us deep, believable stories, with elaborate character development. They are made to entertain and to amaze our visual and audio senses, not to produce strong emotions, or to stimulate deep thought. That being said, the story, the script should make some sense, and they should be somewhat consistent, with witty and funny dialogue. This one fails at that . First, they try to give it some scientific credibility, and they they totally disregard their own initial setting of the scientific premises. At first, upon shrinking the Antman does have the same mass and produces somewhat appropriate physical effects as he engages the world, and then they totally forget about it, and they let Michael Douglas carry a shrunk tank in his pocket. They should have made up their minds right at the beginning to either disregard the science or to stick to it. They cannot have both in the same movie. This is just one example of the issue, and the whole thing just doesn't work. Now, all of this should not be a big problem. You just forget about this movie and the time you just wasted, but this thing is going to spread to the Avengers series (it already did with it's references and appearance of Falcon and the Avengers base), and that worries me. This is going to contaminate the Avengers series, which so far was quite good, again given the genre. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Marvel is now the Call of Duty of movies. They just do the same again, and again, and again...

This movie uses thoses jokes you could see in any bad comedy, but in this one it just happens that the protagonist is also some kind of third-class **** hero. They were so aware of this that they tried to show us how good the "hero" is by making him fight against an Avenger... but they used the incredibly boring and not-to-powerful Falcon. Bad mistake.

Don't spend your money on this trust me, try instead Trainwreck, much better comedy.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To me this movie was "discount" Ben Affleck does another superhero movie. Yes I realize Ant-Man is played by Paul Rudd. He should be allowed near a screen, ANY Screen.

We are supposed to believe this former ex-con decides to become a criminal again only to find the "Ant-Man" suit. Then to learn he was manipulated into stealing it. Then to go on to fit yet another villain.

This story and script is a mess, too many holes, it's as if a studio head was standing there tapping their foot and saying "hurry up" we have to us this set to wash the parade floats for our Disney parade.

Equally as bad as Dare Devil, actually played by the real Ben Affleck. Wait for Red Box on this one.

Ant-Man is one of the dumbest films this year, if not the dumbest. Visual effects suck, story is awful, acting nonexistent and the characters are forgettable. The movie is for morons, kinda like the people who made it.

Unfortunately the first hour and a half of the movie is just the same old boring talking heads and men in suits that we see in so many MCU movies. The humor was an odd style for Marvel and I felt like I was being ping-ponged between an overlong Key and Peele sketch and a Ben Stiller comedy movie. In fact, Ant's actor reminds me of Ben Stiller so much that I think this is the sole reason for the effect, and that's unfortunate. If this movie had been made with a little more heart and soul as to Ant-Man's motivations and his relationship with his family I think it could've been something really special, but alas, it was just another 2 hour CGI and joke fest like most of the MCU. The formula is running dry and needs something to spice it up. This film tried to go from the heist comedy angle and just felt like something old that I've seen plenty of times in other movies that did it better. I'm trying to watch all of the MCU in preparation for Endgame and I don't know how I'm gonna watch Ant-man and The Wasp after this. Hopefully it is less boring than this one. One other thing, I know these movies are based on more fleshed-out stories in the comics, but that's no excuse to just have characters suddenly and spontaneously make out and have a stupid predictable romance that has zero foreshadowing in the film and is only expected because it's what Marvel does. It happens to nearly every single MCU hero at some point and I'm totally sick of it. Expand
