Excellent movie, including the cross reference with Avengers. The visual effects are perfect and action scenes are made to excite the fans with funny and brutal fights.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Marvel's "Ant-Man" is the great movie for the whole family, friends, relatives, and anyone else. But among all the MCU films I've watched, this is the most unique MCU film of all time today. Full of humors, because of director Peyton Reed and its main star Paul Rudd, who also helped writing the creative script of the film, and also, with lessons. And I was surprised for the special participation of Thomas the Tank Engine. And also, the easter egg! The appearance of New Avengers Headquarters in Upstate New York, Sam Wilson/Falcon, who becomes the Avenger, and the wonderful reference of Spider-Man, the guy who jumps, who swings and climb through the walls. And I'm so very excited for Scott Lang reprising on "Captain America: Civil War". And thanks to Sam Wilson for saying, "I know a guy." And it says "Ant-Man will return". Expand

A great addition into the MCU, the humor was on point, the acting was great especially from Michael Douglas, and the story better than a lot of the origin stories I've seen.

Like other movies where shrinking is involved, this one makes use of insects--either the shunken hero riding them or commanding them. The movie has many moments and at times quite funny. But the science in this sci-fi flick is very flimsy. Maybe not enough to bother the casual viewer, but for a nerd like me it did. They could have left out the part (or done it better) where the villain explains how the shinking process works (it shrinks the distances between atoms, but mass remains the same). This explanation is completely ignored afterward since Antman's mass clearly changed--for example he can ride a winged ant and that ant can carry him easily in flight. That should be impossible if his shunken mass was the same as his normal mass. And then we have the whole "going subatomic" thing. If what the suit does is SHRINK the DISTANCE BETWEEN ATOMS how can it make the wearer shrink SMALLER THAN AN ATOM? I felt a better thought out explanation of the shrinking process (and what precisely happens to one's mass) should have been included. But other than that flaw, it was an entertaining film and quite different in many ways from Marvel's other superhero films. Expand

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.

The script is great with the mix of cool fight scenes when Ant-Man is shrinking and enlarging. The fight scenes also has its own comedy which is effective. Overall, it is a fun movie to watch and Ant-Man will be a good addition to the Avengers for sure!

P.S. What about the idea of Ant-Man Prequel? :O

After Avengers: AoU, a film in which I loved, but many didn't, I didn't think they could make lightning strike twice in one summer, especially with all the problems this movie had and how long itThis summer has yet to truly disappoint me. After Avengers: AoU, a film in which I loved, but many didn't, I didn't think they could make lightning strike twice in one summer, especially with all the problems this movie had and how long it took to get into production, but I can tell you Marvel fans, more specifically Ant-Man fans, this is the film Ant-Man deserves. This film is funny, smart, action packed, and proves that Marvel can still create new and exciting films. Paul Rudd as Scott Lang was perfect casting and made me forget any worries I had about Hank not being Ant-Man. Besides Rudd, Micheal Douglas and Evangiline Lilly are great as Hank Pym and his daughter, Hope. Corey Stoll as Darren Cross/Yellowjacket isn't as bad as some critics are saying, and he brings a true motive and terror to his role. I believe the true comedic star of the film is Michael Peña who plays Luis, Scott's best friend. He steals every scene he is in and I want him in more Marvel films, he's a real treat. This movie pulls off the heist genre, a tough genre to do, while maintaining the campy comic book feel we've come to know and love. There's many surprises for fans during and even after the movie. Overall, Ant-Man is some of the most fun I've had at a theater, and definitely in Marvel's top 5. Expand

但是感覺整部片反而顯得有點小空虛...我想這應該是種意猶未盡的感覺,全劇就結束了。
其中,演員道格拉斯參與了演出,他的演出實在是令人振奮!

總結:在漫威的某英雄初次登場的電影中,蟻人算是蠻突出的。

A very fun film that, while connected to the other MCU films, is not beholden to them. It is not a spectacle like Age of Ultron, it's a fun film that introduces us to "new" character that don't need the big guns to make a fun movie.

Whilst he had to wait for all the Super Soldiers and aggressive raccoons to have their movies, it's finally Ant-man's chance to make it to the big screen. And in spite of the unfortunate departure of Edgar Wright along with a short productionWhilst he had to wait for all the Super Soldiers and aggressive raccoons to have their movies, it's finally Ant-man's chance to make it to the big screen. And in spite of the unfortunate departure of Edgar Wright along with a short production time, Ant-man is still able to continue the style and quality of the Marvel cinematic universe.

Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) is a con-man and master thief who has recently been released from prison. Impressed by his skills, Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) recruits him to become the next Ant-man. He needs him to pull off a heist to retrieve the Yellowjacket suit, a costume with the same abilities of the Ant-man costume, being developed by Daren Cross (Corey Stroll) who intends to sell it to villainous corporations such as Hydra. Motivated by his desire to see his daughter again, Scott accepts his second chance in life and sets out to carry out the heist.

Whilst they try to raise the stakes at points (Pym reminds us every so often of how the Yellowjacket suit could change the world as we know it) the real charm of the film is in how low-key it is compared to the rest of the Marvel films. It's not some epic battle where the fate of humanity is at stake. Instead it's just a cool heist movie and a nice change of pace from the usual large scale tone used in most Marvel movies.

This low key style leaves a lot more focus on the characters to keep the film entertaining and fortunately the actors were up to the task. Paul Rudd is a great addition to the Marvel Superhero roster by being cool, likable and grounding Scott as a human character through bringing the same comedic skill that we loved in films like the 40 Year Old Virgin (albeit with less "You know how I know you're gay" jokes). Douglas is also memorable as his mentor and the original Ant Man, being an interesting take on a retired superhero. Instead of just being old and brooding, he still has the same courage and wit he had in his prime. Plus we get a few cool flashback scenes seeing a younger Michael Douglas (made with very convincing CGI) working as the original Ant- man in his prime, which looked so cool that it made me eager to see Pym get his own movie at some point.

Whilst Yellowjacket did seem to follow all the weak Marvel tropes for villains (rushed back-story, lack of screen time etc.) he was still surprisingly entertaining in the film. Largely because of Corey Stoll who not only gives a great menacing presence, but also plays it so over the top that he brings charm to an otherwise charmless character. The only weak character was Bobby Cannavale as Scott's ex-wives new douchey boyfriend. Mostly because the douchey boyfriend character is one of the most worn out clichés in cinema and didn't seem to have any real purpose in the film other than weak comedy relief. Plus it seems a shame that the film spends so much time with him whilst we hardly get any scenes with his wife and daughter (Judy Greer and Abby Fortson respectively) who are far more important to the story and should have had more screen time. It's especially disappointing Fortson didn't get more screen time since the few scenes she was in were amongst the funniest moments in the film.

However the centrepiece of this film is the action sequences, which contain the most creative fight scenes that Disney's Marvel have had in a while. The size shifting dynamic added a whole new element to the fight scenes visually, taking the usual destruction of a standard blockbuster and placing it inside a children's bedroom. Plus the scenes feel like they have Edgar Wright's fingerprints all over it having clever wordplay and great visual gags making the fights hilarious.

Though that's not to say that the fight scenes are flawless. At times their decisions to have the battles be created entirely with CGI are fairly distracting as most of the backgrounds are blurred out in the miniature scenes. It never ruins the fights, but it can be distracting. And it would have looked a lot better if they had been more creative for some of the sequences and used actual sets for some of the miniature shots.

But at the end of the film the lingering thought did remain, would Edgar White's Ant-man had been better? Maybe it would have been more visually creative. Or maybe it much of Wright was still in the film and it wouldn't be much different. But ignoring what it could have been, the films still great at what it does. It packs in the laughs, has likeable characters and does a decent origin story. However other than the fight sequences, there's nothing substantially different here that we haven't already seen from other superhero films.

Fortunately, Ant-Man dared to be different than the usual superheroI'm not one for big action spectacles where we see New York getting destroyed for the four-millionth time, so I'm always a little worried before I go into a superhero movie. Fortunately, Ant-Man dared to be different than the usual superhero flick like the largely overrated Avengers and abysmal Man of Steel by being a heist movie. Ant-Man, based on the Marvel character, Scott Lang has to use Dr. Pym's Ant-Man suit and plot a heist to stop Darren Cross from making more Ant-Man suits. The suit itself allows the wearer to shrink to the size of an ant while their physical strength increases, making them a virtually unstoppable force. The worst thing I can say about Ant-Man is that it's not as neat and controlled as Marvel's best entries. It doesn't match the tight story of Iron Man or the thrilling nature of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but it makes up for that by being an incredibly fun and sometimes unpredictable heist movie. A majority of the film is dedicated to showing how Lang attempts to pull of the heist rather than showing non-stop action. It makes Ant-Man feel unique and significantly different than any other Marvel movie I've seen. Most of the action doesn't happen until the final act of the film, but the scenes themselves are very interesting since you see Lang and Cross constantly growing and shrinking. There's also quite a bit of comedy in there, which unfortunately, misses a lot more than it hits. Nevertheless, Ant-Man is an appropriately fun and unique superhero movie that actually tries to tell a story rather than showing fifty skyscrapers fall to the ground. Expand

All the cast was great, even Corey Stoll, who unfortunately had the weakest character of the lot, but works very well with what he has. Reeds direction is spot on, none of this awful shaky cam that you get often these days. This film may not be as big as a spectacle as Age of Ultron, but it is a much better film overall.

Overall this is a great film with some fantastic writing by Edgar Wright who always seems to write amazing films (Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim ect) and is probably the most fun film of the year, but its slip ups (Sometimes with pacing and characters) do drag it down, but not by much. Go and see this is if you can, you honestly wont be disappointed.

Ant-Man is my second favorite MCU standalone film right behind The Winter Soldier, do not miss this one! Expand

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

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 aThe 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

However, I quickly learned that this wasn't your typical Marvel flick. The movie has a different 'feel' to it which makes it strong. Quirky humor, great plot, easter eggs and good miniaturized action scenes make it a must see for anyone even a little interested in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched ant-man earlier on today. First thing I notice is the movie mistake where pym punches the guy in the face bloody nose. Few camera angle changes and it's fine next thing you know stark hands the guy a tissue for the now yet again bloody nose. Not looking good. 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! Who can put on a materminuplation suit in 10 seconds never mind 4! Oath and ohms line "your hitching a ride out side there 5 block perimeter" your the size of an ant they could have national guard waiting for you unless they are the size of an ant too it doesn't matter. And the helmet is meant to control the ants not an ear piece. Ramble finished as a movie it was decent as a comic book movie meh. Expand

The one thing I didn't like was that Ant-Man ended having a lot of cliches, and very similar plot to Batman Beyond, the 90s TV show. All in all the Ant-Man is led by good acting, a good story, albeit a little clichéd, and a good sense of humor. While Ant-Man isn't Marvel's best it's still quite entertaining. 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

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.

Good movie, fun time. Go see it, but don't expect greatness.

Filled with sharp dialogue and clever visual humour, the film takes a welcome step away from the overly serious fare that Marvel has been serving up recently, while still feeling like it exists within the same reality as the other MCU films.

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. All told, its a tremendously fun ride that will leave you smiling. Ant Man puts the "comic" back in comicbook movie.

Knowing the challenges they were working with with Pym's source material, I think they did an excellent job picking an Ant Man and bringing him to screen.

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. Hopefully they get enough interest for a sequel with a big actiony role for Evangeline Lilly as hero.

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.

Ok 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!

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.

I'm sure your kids will love. Some Marvel fans may even insist it's a masterpiece.

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.

The first act of this movie, I did not really like, the pace was kinda off and the progression seemed a tad rushed. The second act picked things up for me, the dialogue started getting funnier and the progression of Scott was interesting to see as well as the well shot action sequences. But let me tell you, the third act of this movie is the most fun I've had In a marvel movie in ages. The humour was there, the action was there and all the characters finally felt like they were a key part of the heist, even yellowjacket (who to be honest is the biggest dick in the marvel universe) seemed to have a developed character by the end of it all. He actually turned from a cliché 'end of the world' type of idiot villain to a truly psychotic and mentally damaged person who wouldn't even spare a child. Brilliant movie, tons of fun. More fun than Age of Ultron to be honest. Expand

Ant-Man was terrific and was my favourite Marvel movie, even better than Guardians of the Galaxy. The storytelling and writing is very very good and that is ultimately what sets this movie apart from most other Marvel movies

For me as good as the best of the Spiderman movies and for the same reason. 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.For me as good as the best of the Spiderman movies and for the same reason. 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.

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.

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.

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.
