Ultimately a movie either is worth your time or not. This one is worth your time. Entertaining, does not take itself too seriously, meshes well with the entire "Marvel" universe. Well directed, acted, written and photographed.

Give it a go.

Even though this is the most predictable Marvel movie yet with an unimpressive villain, Ant Man still manages to be a hilarious, action packed superhero film with great performances and lots of fun to be had.

If you enjoyed films like Oceans 11 I would also recommend it on that basis. It’s not entirely perfect, but it is is pretty damm good and I think that is largely down to Edgar Allen and Joe Cornish’s excellent screenplay. The action scenes are great and the 3D is pretty good for a change and the characters were really propped up by excellent performances. Peyton Reed has finely directed a film that I actually really enjoyed. Don’t expect it to be a traditional Superhero movie because it only really gets into that in the last 20 - 30 minutes of the film, but I would really urge people that this film is worth checking out.

With the reliance on action taking a back seat the writing is the star here and Ant-Man has a wonderfully knowing and smart script which gives all the characters room to breath and their own moment in the spotlight. Rudd is perfect as the reluctant hero, and its good to see Michael Douglas back in a meaty role. When the action does arrive it is done in a way different to what Marvel has done before, almost making fun of its big budget predecessors. All the set pieces that reoccur in the other films are still here, but they are given a twist that will leave you with a massive grin on your face, especially if you are fed up with the standard Marvel trope of destroying a city at the conclusion of every film, which happens here too but in a very different way. Also it has the best use of Thomas The Tank Engine in any film you will have seen to date. Peyton Reed does a good job directing, but it is Edgar Wrights fingerprints that are all over the best sections… Expand

Marvel has brought us some memorable superheros like Iron-Man, Spider-Man, Captain America etc. But one superhero was not well known, that would be "Ant-Man". A hero created by the man himself, Stan Lee. Ant-Man did not get much praise when he was created in 1962; but when the film came out, almost everyone praised it for bringing the unknown hero back to life.

A man named Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) resigns from the S.H.I.E.L.D organization after they tried to use him to replicate the shrinking ability that he had invented. We are then introduced to a man named Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), who is in prison for doing burglary. He is introduced in a unique way, a thief who happens to be a father of his daughter who was taken away from due to custody issues. He and his pals plan a burglary in a mansion to steal something they have heard the owner is keeping something locked up tight.

Paul Rudd's performance is as good as he gets, alongside the supporting cast that he works with on camera. The fights is anything we have seen in a traditional Marvel movie, each of them having their own sense of action and tension. This is one of those movies that keeps getting better as the story progresses, a human being turning turning into the size of an ant. The concept is so intriguing, like how does he do it? What made Stan Lee think of this concept? It is overall original and interesting at the same time.

The fact that Ant-Man can take down other guys by being the size of an ant is so funny; he is the size of an ant, but can still take down men that is one hundred times stronger than him. Sure the idea sounds funny, but when you look at it, it works like it came out of a children's picture book.

The plot is predictable like most superhero films are (no spoilers here), but it is a fun summer flick to sit through if you have seen all the popular ones. This will be remembered as bringing Ant-Man back to life in the shape of a film, we will just have to see if Ant-Man will be in future sequels, or even in future "The Avengers" movies.… Expand

It manages to do this with solid action, great characters, and still managing to feel like a Marvel movie that fits into the same universe as it's peers. It's a pretty big achievement given the time it spent trapped in development hell.

Marvel films have always had some humor in them. Guardians of the Galaxy was the first to really grasp on to a comedic focus. Much like that movie, Ant-Man is just as much a comedy as it is a superhero movie. If anything, it's more of a comedy.

The cool thing about the movie is that it's a new take on the standard Marvel flick. Yes, there's a villain and a hero duking it out with super powers onscreen, but given that the focus is more on our hero robbing the villain as opposed to fighting him for the majority of the film, it ends up being a legitimate heist movie.

The action scenes themselves are very well done. Ant-Man's powers are excellently utilized to create some crazy moments. Toys are thrown, ants are being ridden, and huge fights are barely being noticed by the normal sized people around them. Yes, size plays a huge role in the film, and for once smaller is better.

It's the first superhero, comedy heist film. With a talented cast and plenty of imagination. Touches of emotion and tons of humor bring it all to life. Even with a troubled and lengthy development cycle that lost some talent behind it along the way can't stop this from being one of Marvel's best stand alone films. It's a lot of fun and feels fresh in the constantly growing sea of superhero movies. I definitely recommend checking it out.

I give it a 9.2/10… Expand

What is it missing? that certain something. Largely it fails by having very little emotional complication in the film. Scott Lang, in the film and the comics, has a problem getting his life together. But the comics adds a layer of despair that the film glosses over in order to make a more fun summer film. There's nothing wrong with this, but a pop-music movie can only earn so many points in my eyes. For the extra points, they really have to reach for some emotional truth. Guardians of The Galaxy did this by delving a little bit into Starlord's heartbreak over his mom's death and Rocket's grief over Groots death and anger over being a science project.

Paul Rudd is his usual self-deprecating everyman self, and Evangeline Lily is interesting and likeable as Hope Van Dyne, and Michael Douglas as Dr. Hank Pym is brilliant. The visual effects are of excellent quality and the production design is solid if unremarkable. The direction is sharp and the action sequences are cleanly shot, with minimal quick cuts to confuse the viewer about what is happening.

I think a lot of people are thinking in their heads about 'how great it could have been' with the earlier director who was signed on, but honestly we will never know and it could have been terrible. As it was, I enjoyed the mix of genres, thought the fight scenes were a lot more fun and quirky than most. My one complaint (and hope) is that it wasn't an Ant Man and The Wasp movie.

Ant man never seemed like a long shot to me because I knew theOk Ill keep this short (relatively) Disclaimer up front I am a Fan boy, I have been reading the comics since I was a kid and have seen and enjoyed (almost) every Marvel film.

Ant man never seemed like a long shot to me because I knew the character and his history and was pretty certain that Antman could be done well.

Preamble aside, this film is awesome!! It is very funny, it wisely focuses on the second Ant man Scott Lang but by keeping Hank Pym as his mentor we still get the Genius of Pym in the marvel universe without his unstable mental state and darker character being the focus.

Hank actually works much better as a supporting character and Seeing as Marvel don’t have the rights to Mr fantastic he clearly is being lined up to be the Marvel universes OTHER tech Genius.

In the comics hanks Mind was often more important then him actually being a hero in the field so this makes sense.

But back to the review as I said this would be short (lies!!).

This a great film, it has heart, its very funny, it gets the tone of Antman just right and prevents it feeling silly by not letting things get to Serious.

Everything is well structured and paced and apart from the first 20 mins or so being a bit slow while they set all the characters up it's very nearly the perfect marvel movie.

As a long term fan it pleased me greatly but I can see Antman working equally well for more causal audiences thanks to great performances from every one involved, a few genuinely touching moment, some hilarious jokes and set pieces and......

The action!! Seriously the way they use the shrinking powers is fantastic it creates some truly unique spectacle that we really haven’t seen before (Honey I shrunk the kids has nothing on Antman) and a few set piece moments that left me with a big cheesy grin on my face.

Obv everyone has there own opinion but I struggle to think how anyone with even a passing interest in these types of films wouldn’t have a blast with Antman.

So Yeah awesome, also it leaves it open for much more insanity and awesomeness to come, As it hints in the film that there is much more to Hank Pym (the OG Antman) then just shrinking and by extension the new Antman. Hank has some truly great tricks up his sleeves in the comics so it will be interesting to see where this goes.

Antman has become My second Favourite Marvel Standalone movie Slotting in Behind Captain America: The Winter Solider and just ahead of Guardian’s of the Galaxy! Bravo Marvel BRA****ingVO!… Expand

Both Ant-Man and Spiderman put the viewer into the childhood fantasy of having super powers: this is what it would be like if I had super powers in the real world.

I've seen almost ten movies with 3D versions. Ant-Man is he first 3D movie I've seen that made 3D a benefit to me, made 3D an indispensable addition.

Thor, Hulk, Captain America, Superman, Batman are much more about costumes and brands. We see and experience them primarily from the outside. Ant-Man and Spiderman we want to and can experience from the inside.

Iron Man is somewhere straddling these two approaches. Ant-Man shows the script problems of Iron Man 3 into sharp relief. Where Paul Rudd's Ant-Man is a blank slate with very little personality, the "normal" calm center of an outer hurricane of events, Downey Jr's Tony Stark is a very colorful center of a hurricane of outer events in Iron Man 3. Too much. No healthy contrast. Can't have both the outer world be vibrant and also the inner character's personality as the two compete for our attention and affection.

Ant-Man the movie has just the right amount of crazyness without too much crazyness. Criticism of teh director as limp is ridiculous. These critics have never tried writing let alone directing a movie aiming to cover the tonal notes Ant-Man hits dead-on over and over.

Critics of Peyton's directing also have not learned the lesson of the the successes of the Tim Story Fantastic Four 1 & 2. The banter of four characters by the director of Barbershop is pitch perfect even if the drama suffered for those with more blood-thirsty tastes and needs.

I celebrate Ant-Man as the non-Marvel, Marvel movie. I think this is part of its intent. Guardians of the Galaxy also did a fine job of expanding the tonal palette of the Marvel world.

The highest compliment I can make is Ant-Man is as good and as much fun as the original comics were in my memory.… Expand

La historia de un ladrón que da todo por su hija al ponerse un traje que le permite encogerse hasta el tamaño de una hormiga se desarrolla de manera magnifica gracias a las increíbles actuaciones y sobre todo con un guion divertido y emocionante, repleto de increíbles escenas de acción. Ant-Man se siente como la primera parte de Iron Man (Solo que con un toque mas ligero) épica en todo sentido y con un humor único y bien hecho. Cabe destacar que este punto de "Comedia en Marvel" funciona perfectamente en Ant-Man, los guionistas hicieron un excelente trabajo, colocando los chistes en buenos momentos, y nunca se sienten forzados (Avengers, Avengers 2, Iron Man 3) la formula que tiene "Ant-Man" es muy distinta a cualquier otra película de Marvel, esto es muy positivo, pues ofrece algo novedoso. Vuelvo a insistir, "Ant-Man" es de las mejores películas de super héroes que jamas he visto, entra perfectamente a mi Top 5 (Junto con Iron Man, Spider-Man 2 o Batman: El Caballero de la Noche) y sin duda alguna es de las mejores películas de este año.… Expand

When I first heard about the Ant-Man premise, I was skeptical. But this movie was loads of fun and not as self-serious as some of its genre peers.....

Ant-Man is a 2015 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics characters of the same name,It is the 12th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.The film is directed by Peyton Reed and stars Paul Rudd,Evangeline Lilly,Corey Stoll,BobbyAnt-Man is a 2015 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics characters of the same name,It is the 12th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.The film is directed by Peyton Reed and stars Paul Rudd,Evangeline Lilly,Corey Stoll,Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña,Tip "T.I." Harris,Anthony Mackie,Wood Harris,Judy Greer,David Dastmalchian and Michael Douglas.
In Ant-Man, Lang must help defend Dr. Pym's Ant-Man shrinking technology and plot a heist with worldwide ramifications.
Paul Rudd plays Scott Lang,a burglar who breaks into houses and steals stuff.He was arrested many times but now he's decided to change.Rudd is amazing in the role,he's such a nice and welcome edition to the Marvel hero canon.He's funny,charismatic and committed to the role.
Michael Douglas as Hank Pym though is what makes this movie even more amazing that it already is.He is so great on the role and it's so nice to see him actually act again.Even his backstory is truly interesting and I would love to see a prequel all about him.
Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne is also very good.I like that she's a strong character and does not necessarily depend on others,I really like where they are going with her character and I'm super excited to see her back in the sequel.
The visual effects for this movie are mind-blowing and truly impressive.I really enjoyed the action sequences especially his final throw downs with Jellowjacket.The scope of the battles and the way they decided to direct and present them made me laugh out loud in so many occasions,especially the scene already seen in the trailers with Tomas the Train,which is hilarious and perfectly shot.
There are a few story lines in this film,one of them being Scott and his daughter.I liked that story line despite most of the people saying that it felt forced and only put in the movie to make us care more about Scott Lang.I disagree actually because it absolutely did make us care but it also gave the character a reason to wear the Ant-Man suit and it truly worked.
The villain in this movie (portrayed by Corey Stoll) is also a complain that I've heard quiet a lot.I disagree here also because in my opinion his intentions and motives from his back story are truly interesting and believable.I also truly liked Corey Stoll's performance and the yellowjacket suit looked glorious.He makes up for some really good looking and overall interesting fights with Ant-Man.
The movie faced some problems along the production,it changed directors as it was once going to be directed by Edgar Wright but his concepts and basic story did not fit in with the MCU so they changed it and that is totally fine with me.I liked Peyton Reed's directing and style and I also like the humor in it,most of it being delivered by Michael Peña who every time he talks it's just comedy gold and I was laughing so much.
I truly enjoyed Ant-Man,it is a nice and pretty different addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe,with the scale of the movie being much smaller (pun intended) and it being first and foremost a heist movie.… Expand

I was not expecting much when my kid asked me to take her to this movie. I found it very entertaining and enjoyed it. I wish they would made the female role more dominate as she would make an excellent femdom. Maybe the next movie.

Até agora o filme tem fracassado sendo a pior estreia da Marvel desde de Hulk(2008) nos EUA e conseguiu também o pior resultado de sempre para os filmes Marvel no mercado Português (33.417*), batendo assim Capitão América: O Soldado deAté agora o filme tem fracassado sendo a pior estreia da Marvel desde de Hulk(2008) nos EUA e conseguiu também o pior resultado de sempre para os filmes Marvel no mercado Português (33.417*), batendo assim Capitão América: O Soldado de Inverno (38.845 espectadores).

Ainda assim, o Homem-Formiga foi o filme mais visto neste fim-de-semana acumulando uma receita de 185.966 euros batendo o filme de animação Divertida-mente que arrecadou 183.302 euros, é importante ter em conta que este filme tem dominado as salas de cinemas portuguesas nas últimas cinco semanas.

Os motivos para o “fracasso”:
Muitos relacionam o fracasso do filme com o afastamento de Edgar Wright, que durante anos desenvolveu o projecto, outros apontam ainda a fraca aposta no filme quando comparado com outros da Marvel algo reflectido no custo de produção (a produção mais barata de sempre da Marvel Cinematográfica 130 milhões de dólares).
Na minha opinião, o filme apenas falhou pois o público em geral desconhece por completo o personagem e este à primeira vista não é algo atractivo o suficiente para as pessoas “normais” quererem saber.

O fracasso não espelha o filme,
O Homem-Formiga, ou Ant-Man, é um óptimo filme e as críticas no geral suportam essa ideia.
Este filme tem uma história de origem fantástica, um desempenho por parte dos atores muito competente e um óptimo guião. Não conhecia o personagem e fiquei fã.… Expand

Nada menos esperado de um longa metragem da Marvel, o Homem-Formiga emprega efeitos visuais de boa qualidade envolvidos em uma ação contagiante e divertida.

Great movie. Loved every minute of it. Very original. Evangeline Lilly is one of my favorites. Paul Rudd and Michael were great in it too. Cory Stall was also good. Great story and set up in MCU. Wait for the end credits.
