One of the biggest problems with Ant-Man, not just as a film, but as a character as a whole.... Is that his backstory, motives and development are things we've seen before. The annoying thing is that this is mainly down to the necessities of fitting the character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Unlike Captain America, where they took the comic's origin story and brought Cap' into the modern age via the 'frozen in ice for 70 years' idea, in Ant-Man they try to dispense with the original story altogether.

In this film, the 'Ant-Man' is effectively the second incarnation, the original being the 'old guy' scientist whose origin story would have been far more interesting. Instead we get a convoluted narrative that suggests a new 'Ant-Man' is needed to combat the machinations of the 'old guy' scientist's former assistant who is attempting to duplicate his miniaturisation processes.

What follows is a 30 minute training montage, involving more technology whose invention is never explained (i.e. the ability to control various species of ant), and then the 'surprise' discovery the young scientist is looking to sell miniaturisation tech to the army for profit, now he's worked out how to make things smaller....

Cue Ant-Man's heroic infiltration of the bad scientist's research facility, you know, the one bearing the name of the 'old guy' scientist who was ousted from the board etc. And the finale between Ant-Man and young scientist who has shrunk himself in his own combat suit.....

It's sooooooo predictable as to be patronising!

However, it's not all bad. Paul Rudd displays his usual comedic sensibilities as the 'hero', and Michael Douglas is also good as the 'old guy' scientist. Their interplay is very funny. Rudd's three criminal sidekicks are also good value, except that Michael Pena's Mexican Stereotype characterisations which do grate immensely very quickly!

Overall, it's a paint-by-numbers Superhero flick, but one that does benefit from a superior comic-interplay between the main characters.… Expand

Surprisingly charming and very enjoyable, Paul Rudd fits the role of Ant-Man and alongside Michael Douglas and Corey Stoll the result is pure entertainment. Highly recommended and in case 2 hours wasn't enough there's two post credit sequences cause that's a thing now apparently.… Expand

No complaints about the special effects or the photography. The cast is also perfect. Michael Douglas does an awesome job as Dr. Hank Pym; Evangeline Lilly is really hot; and Paul Rudd is Ant-Man, period! The weakness is in the script. It's uneven and spends too much time on Ant-Man's personal development and not enough on the villain, Darren Cross (Yellowjacket) played superbly by Corey Stoll. The movie does a poor job of expressing the urgency of preventing Cross from having Ant-Man's power. And because it spends so much time on Ant-Man's training, the movie starts to get tedious, albeit for a short time thank goodness.

Overall, I totally recommend this movie especially in 3D. I just wish the villain had been more developed so that I cared more about the climatic battle.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed this more than expected, but that's only because my expectations were not very high.

Ant-Man is a relatively minor character in Marvel comics but there's no telling how much of a role he'll play in the MCU. That's kind of where the problems (minor character) and the good parts are (MCU involvement).

This movie, when it didn't revolve around the Avengers or anything involving the rest of the MCU was a pretty ordinary superhero movie. What set it apart was Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas. Both play their characters very well. I liked the idea of Scott Lang (Rudd) being a burglar that Hank Pym (Douglas) was watching for a while. Inevitably Pym teams of with Lang through Michael Peña's character (good choice) getting a tip to break into Pym's house.

I enjoyed a lot of the moments and the comedy wasn't too over the top. But where this movie falls short is where a lot of other superhero movies fall. The villain. Basically, just like almost every other superhero movie, the hero is fighting a different version of himself. It's a tired and overused character at this point.

I'm interested to see where Marvel takes this character within the rest of the MCU, but this film also has me a little worried for the upcoming Doctor Strange and Black Panther standalone movies. I have no doubt that Marvel can make them work within an ensemble but unfortunately their stand alone films may be a little weak.… Expand

Marvel know Antman is a weak movie and seem to try to combat this with blundering references to all it's other movies, cameos, and end of credit scenes avid fans need to see to get ready for the next movie churned out of the franchise factory.

Clunky comedy, a dull lead, an even duller villain, and aptly a CGI and steals the show from the wooden cast. Only a cool Michael Douglas kept me interested as I sat there.

the best thing I can say about Antman is it's not as bad as Terminator Genisys.… Expand

I was kind of bummed that this movie didn't go for the usual Marvel formula, but at least the movie did a good job in generating some laughs. And Paul Rudd's performance was appealing. I can't say there weren't parts that were particularly uninvolving but it got better over the second half of the movie. The villain is clearly one-note, and it doesn't seem like a character that anyone would like simply because he wears a badass yellow jacket (pun unintended). However, beyond the dazzling visuals, great cast and entertaining action, there was actually some easter eggs to be found, but the one that most excited me was the reference to Spider-Man in the end of the movie. As a Spidey fan, I'm looking forward to the new reboot produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Sony Pictures.

So... my take on "Ant-Man"? It was a solid movie, and if you're a fan of super-heroes, this film is watchable for you.

Bringing a character not well known outside of comic-book fandom into the Marvel Cinematic universe is a risk particularly considering the unique powers that ‘Ant-Man’ brings to the table scale-wise, but what it lacks in grandiose spectacularBringing a character not well known outside of comic-book fandom into the Marvel Cinematic universe is a risk particularly considering the unique powers that ‘Ant-Man’ brings to the table scale-wise, but what it lacks in grandiose spectacular set-pieces this movie makes up for with its very grounded comedic tone.
In part ‘Ant-man’ feels rather fittingly like a typical Paul Rudd comedy which happens to involve a heist and people dressing like superheroes which is where it’s at its most effective, but parallel to this runs a formulaic Marvel origin story that ticks all the necessary boxes without offering anything particularly memorable.

It seems like Marvel’s careful planning to ensure a family-friendly tone and narrative that adequately bleeds into the rest of the Marvel universe has resulted in a film that doesn’t take many risks, perhaps this is the cause and consequence of ‘Ant-man’s’ many production problems involving replacing directors and constantly changing scripts.

When risks are taken you get unique action sequences based on the comedic value of shrinking characters along with the heart of the film in Paul Rudd’s lead performance, backed up hilariously by his “Three Stooges-like” companions.

The Bottom Line…
Safe and sometimes clichéd, ‘Ant-man’ lacks the punch of some other Marvel outings but what it lacks in scale it makes up for in humour and charm, given all its production issues it seems like Marvel have done a commendable job in introducing a character that can quite literally slot into any space in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.… Expand

Genuinely funny moments but, ultimately, a sub-par film with a half-baked heist. If only it could have been a comedy with some action (a la Scott Pilgrim) rather than an action movie with some comedy. Standard Marvel money-maker.

Ant Man is a reasonably fun and self-aware action film that will entertain, but it doesn’t bring anything too unique or astounding to the table here. This feature being a heist film instead of a standard superhero film is a nice nuance that works well and Paul Rudd as the lead was a good casting choice; but most of the rest of the characters are pretty plain. The most entertaining characters are Rudd and his fellow thieves, and this probably goes down well due to the chemistry between them. Personally I think they didn’t get enough screen time.
Michael Douglas’ Dr Pym is quite a boring and typical character, nothing being wrong with Douglas’ acting here but his character is just too plain. His daughter is pretty average too, playing a daughter who hates her dad but will help him with this heist; oh and she also knows kung-Fu just for some plot development. The chemistry between these two doesn’t seem entirely there and so their scenes fall flat, but this isn’t just in part to the actors, the script is faulty for that (will explain after character section). Finally Corey Stoll’s character is so one dimensionally evil that he ends up becoming a pretty forgettable villain. It seems like when you’re watching it you are witnessing Frank Underwood inside Peter Russo’s body that is obsessed with science instead of politics. He does have a sweet-ass suit though.
Now onto the script, for the most part the heist mechanic worked well with Rudd and his crew but once it gets him into the Ant Man suit and he starts hanging around Douglas and Lilly’s characters it seems that the pages for these scenes got coffee spilt on them and they had to improvise half of it. The back story and clunky exposition behind Douglas and Lilly’s characters are so force fed to you it’s cringey, and to watch the sudden admiration/attraction that grows between Lilly and Rudd’s character is just clichéd and monotonously delivered. The scenes slow down majorly until a certain encounter involving an Avenger; which was an absolute blast. After that nothing too interesting until Rudd’s team arrive back on the job allowing some comic moments and then the finale- this finale also fully embraces its silliness and goes all out delivering probably the best sequence of the film. There was a small gap that seemed so forcefully put in the finale though that it detracted from the excitement for a second but then went straight back into it. One thing I must say though is the ending (NO SPOILERS) on how a certain character figures out how to come back from somewhere seemed like complete **** with how easy there character manages it.
Lastly, the visual effects of this film were pretty nice, although at times they could look a bit plain and out of proportion but overall the effects looked great and made for some really hectic action sequences.
The film is a fun comical ride but it hasn’t done anything new, and the main reason I’m guessing reviews are so high is probably because everyone is loving to get on the Marvel band wagon nowadays. I wouldn’t say avoid this film as it is enjoyable but don’t expect anything special. A worthwhile watch.

Looks like the Marvel catalog pillaging by the studios is starting to expose the weaker source material. There is nothing innovative about the story or characters in this comic book outing. Evangeline Lilly is actually painful to watch in many scenes. Michael Douglas looks and sounds like Gordon Gecko hiding out from the IRS. Finally, Paul Rudd's smug charm should be pretty good in this sort of comic-con summer fare but it feels like he's struggling, even slightly disinterested. One positive: might be nice to see Michael Peña do more comedic material; at least he seemed to be enjoying himself.

This tired plot device of each film referencing other Marvel touchstones like the Avengers, Hydra, Stark Industries, etc. only works if those other films are successes in their own right. Not sure how many Ant-Man quips we will hear from Captain America.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally, Marvel's 'Ant-Man' has arrived, after what seems like a lifetime of promises and troubled development. More a low key and scaled down outing compared to 'Age of Ultron', it commits to a restrained approach, as it should, being an origin story centred around a heist concept.

First up, let's talk about the action. The effects were fantastic, even in the 2D screening i saw. The fight scenes are, although not mind blowing, more inventive and fun than what's been served in recent MCU releases. There are great uses of everyday environments and devices (bathtub, vacuum cleaner, record player) in the first shrinking scene. In the third act, we see our hero riding flying insects while dodging bullets, causing a giant Thomas the Tank Engine to crush a cop car, fighting Yellow Jacket in a briefcase while The Cure's 'Disintegration' plays on an iPhone (yes, all this happens).

How about the performances? Paul Rudd as the leading man is a good fit, a likeable down on his luck guy thrown into the battle between SHIELD and Hydra. Michael Douglas is great, and his relationship with Evangeline Lily is played out beautifully.

Now all that is fine, but there are problems that let the film down. In trying to keep the tone in line with the rest of the Marvel universe, there's a look of bland direction to much of it. Structure and pacing wise, at times it's too fast moving and later too drawn out. Try not to notice the score, which sounded like uninspired drivel. Another weak villain is introduced, this time played by Corey Stoll, almost a rehash of Jeff Bridges from 'Iron Man' but without the presence.

Marvel's basic **** humour once again rears it's ugly head at the most inappropriate moments. It's not clever, just unbelievably irritating. Michael Pena and his criminal colleagues are truly awful stereotypes here, too busy throwing around cliches like "dayumn" and "yo son" while the white heroes are saving the day. If you've read some of my other reviews on Marvel films, you know i don't let this kind of borderline racist crap pass!

At the end i was left wondering, is this a character that really needed a standalone film? Sure it's a welcome change of pace, however it's more filler than killer. The premise of a tiny hero who controls ants may seem problematic for some, but the real issue is that too many cooks have come and gone in the kitchen.… Expand

I’m curious to see what the original script Edgar Wright wrote was because knowing him it would’ve been funny, smart, original, and madly entertaining. Instead, we are left with the most formulaic story Marvel’s ever written that while not bad has been seen before in several Marvel films. If the film had interesting characters like Guardians of the Galaxy or great action like Pacific Rim or The World’s End (seriously great action there) those flaws could be overlooked but unfortunately none of the characters are interesting and the film fails to do anything interesting with the heist premise or take advantage of the shrinking concept to provide creative action and visuals. As a result, Ant-Man comes across the way The Incredible Hulk, Thor, and Captain America come across for some people it just exists to set up another Marvel movie. Similar to The Wolverine, the end credits scene, the second one as the first one reveals something obvious, teases a bigger and more interesting movie and hopefully that makes up for it because if this is the approach Marvel will take to all non-Avengers films going forward then I grow increasingly worried about how they will treat future additions such as Dr. Strange and Spider-Man. Die hard Marvel fans will probably be satisfied with the film as the loud family behind me was but those looking for something special will not find it here just sneak in for the end credits scene, the only good part of the film, and/or wait for the DVD if you are curious.… Expand

The latest feature in the Marvel Cinematic Universe follows the story of a veteran hero named Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) who has created the technology of a suit that can shrink as well as the human being inside it. He needs a daring man to wear the suit and save his business from the evil Darren Cross (Corey Stoll) who is attempting to develop the similar kind of technology of shrinking suits.

The man Hank needs is Scott Lang (Paul Rudd, overflowing with charisma), what we know about Lang is that he has been arrested a few times for burglary and is trying to re-build a fading relationship with his daughter Cassie.

'Ant-Man' is more of a heist film than it is your typical, bombastic superhero film, ('Avengers: Age of Ultron'), but it's hard to stay mad when it gives you a great amount of character development and there is more substance than I thought there would be.

But why did I give it 6/10? This is mainly because there are many, many references to "The Avengers" which did feel forced and shoehorned into the film, this has something to do with the fact that Edgar Wright, who was tipped to direct but backed out because his vision of the film didn't have many references to the Avengers.

The villain was also very cliche and another forgettable one in the Marvel canon. The plot also resembles 'Iron Man' (2008), the idea of a businessman creating technology of a superior suit and there is another eager businessman creates a similar kind of technology to use it against them. Basically, it's a whole, "Apple iPhone vs Samsung Galaxy" story, and we have seen it before.

All in all, 'Ant-Man' is worth watching, it may not be the most superior entry to the Marvel canon, but fans will be satisfied.… Expand

I'm not against action; I enjoyed Spectre and Force Awakens and other superhero movies such as Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 and the first Avengers movie, but there was nothing like the entertaining relationships of Avengers or Spider-Man in this film, and somehow the personal story (which revolved around Ant Man's desire to see his daughter, which his ex-wife wouldn't let him do because he hadn't paid child support which he had not been able to do because he'd just gotten out of prison) and its connection to the action wasn't convincing to me. It may have had to do with the lead not having adequate charisma or chemistry with anyone. It really just all came across to me as a bunch of noise. I think the musical score should have been a lot better too. It came across as generically bombastic. One bright spot was Michael Douglas, especially the way they made Michael Douglas in the first scene, which takes place in the past, appear so young. That was a fun bit that lasted a few minutes.

Overall a harmless movie for kids - not a shred of realistic violence; it's all pretty silly violence and no one gets killed - or bad language, and it's not a cynical movie either. But aside from being kid safe, I can't recommend it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From the start I had a feeling this wasn't going to be good. With the other Marvel movies, even if they weren't good films, the trailer at least made it seem fun. But with the Ant-Man trailer I saw nothing to pique my interest. The good reviews gave me hope that the movie was good after all but I should have trusted my gut instead.

Now, as I look back on Ant-Man, the only thing that comes to mind is the boredom I experienced sitting in that theatre. The story has no stakes. They must steal the Yellowjacket suit and destroy Cross's work or else... what? Vague threats about how "things will be bad" are not at all exciting so I didn't really care about the plot.

More time is spent on drama between Hope and her father when focus should have been on the main character. And speaking of Hope. Previously I would have said that the romance between Thor and Jane is the worst of the Marvel romances (though I haven't seen the second film) but this just takes the cake. It is not established at all through out the film and the kiss at the end just comes out of nowhere.

And to think - last year we got Captain America 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy. This year it's Avengers 2 and Ant-Man. So much disappointment.… Expand

Well let's put aside the fact how wasp got very little scree time although I do like how they referenced the costume change from black and red to black yellow at this moment if you have seen the film but didn't watch the secret ending you'll be thinking what's this guy on about like many naive people who where in the cinema with me. Shame on you. Ok now it's time for yellow jacket. Yellow jacket was Hank pump in the comics which screws up the plot line with cross I got a few strange looks in the cinema when Yellowjacket was first introduced and I tried to claw m eyes out and the rest of the looks where in agreement with my pain. I mean how on earth does marvel turn this around thanks to the secret ending of avengers 2 we know that the suit stays in good hands so we knew how the fight was going to end or was just me putting far too much thought into it? Anyway the secret ending ruins the fact how pym used to be wasp for a short while. Not to mention no giant man / Goliath I mean what where they thinking!
