Forced out of his own company by former protégé Darren Cross, Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) recruits the talents of Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), a master thief just released from prison. Lang becomes Ant-Man, trained by Pym and armed with a suit that allows him to shrink in size, possess superhuman strength and control an army of ants. The miniature hero must use his new skills to prevent Cross, also known as Yellowjacket, from perfecting the same technology and using it as a weapon for evil.

Critics Consensus

Led by a charming performance from Paul Rudd, Ant-Man offers Marvel thrills on an appropriately smaller scale -- albeit not as smoothly as its most successful predecessors.

Shadow and Act

Despite its absurd romantic storyline, and creepy crawlers, Ant-Man is a superhero film worth seeing. I don't think I've laughed so hard in any other Marvel film.

Ant-Man is a surprisingly nimble, enjoyable origin story with a little-guy-saves-the-day quality that will particularly appeal to younger viewers.

Rated: 2.5/4

Is Ant-Man worth seeing? (As if my answer matters; like all Marvel movies, it'll make a mint.) Sort of.

Ant-Man is another successful MCU origin story. Primary mission accomplished: fantastic casting for a significantly developed superhero and his future sidekick.

Rated: B

This is a superhero film as a caper comedy adventure and that’s part of the charm. There’s a lack of bombast and epic scale, refreshing in a genre that keeps trying to top itself.

“Ant-Man” is an easy movie to digest. It dabbles in promising areas and has its share of fun scenes and cool visual effects. But it also squanders a lot of its potential by traveling down well-worn and overused paths.

Rated: 3/5

Ant man was a really fun movie. Scott Lang was a compelling protagonist, and the plot line is easily digestible. Love Dr. Pym, the special effects are really well done. The humor was also charming and this is probably one of the funniest MCU films out there. Not a must-watch, but a should-watch.

Strangely for me, I enjoyed a Marvel film. Ok there are inconsistencies but the general film was for once good and likeable. Never thought I’d say that. Watched on DVD.

Amusing to see but honestly is a bit boring for me, really predictable plot and no originality anywere... Good actors thought, I have nothing bad to say about them, maybe a bit overacted but that's all. And again, there is no music to carry the movie so it feels a bit empty. But I liked it better than other marvels so yeah not that bad, just a bit boring.

Is it a fun concept? Yes. Is it easy to understand? Yes. Is it any good in terms of writing? No. All the jokes and timings just fell flat. The delivery was not very good when it came to the 'deep' moments. Overall it felt like the film was rushed. There was no depth to the directing or writing. Shame.
