What to Know

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.

Aramide Tinubu 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. Apr 12, 2017 Full Review Max Weiss Baltimore Magazine 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 Jun 10, 2016 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire Is Ant-Man worth seeing? (As if my answer matters; like all Marvel movies, it'll make a mint.) Sort of. May 27, 2016 Full Review Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) The remnants of Edgar Wright’s scrapped vision for this film and Rudd’s impossibly buoyant charm helped the first Ant-Man movie stand out. Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews Ant-Man is another successful MCU origin story. Primary mission accomplished: fantastic casting for a significantly developed superhero and his future sidekick. Rated: B Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 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. Apr 14, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Henry S A great comedy that rarely misses the mark in terms of a joke, but as a Superhero movie it falls slightly flat. The plot is so thin that a Avengers fight is needed to extend the runtime, and one of the most generic villains you will ever see doesn't make it any better. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Mate P Ant-Man is a very good-looking movie with great protagonists and funny dialogues. The characters are mixed, because on the one hand the villains are just evil and nothing more. On the other hand the protagonists are extremely likeable and understandable. The dialogues are pretty funny most of the time, but I had issues with them here and there. The story is simple, but great and I love the character drama. While I enjoyed the plot, there are some very important details that we don't know how the antagonists got to know and I didn't like that. The directing is great, I liked the camera work and the action sequences. The pacing is good too, I was engaged the whole time. The visual effects look amazing and unique. The switch from normal to micro is something I've never seen before, so I loved it. The cast is amazing, I loved to see some people from before, but most of the cast is completely new and I loved all of them. Michael Peña and his line deliveries are hilarious, Paul Rudd has a lot of charisma and I love Michael Douglas. It was also great to see Evangeline Lilly outside The Hobbit movies. Ant-Man is very enjoyable, but it has it's flaws that prevent it from being an exceptional movie in the MCU. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Samuel W The first, and most strange, origin story Captain America’s debut. It follows Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang as he tries to be a family man with a history of kleptomania and failures. When Hank Pym transforms him into a giant small phenomenon, his life changes forever. This movie succeeds in showing a loveable character who is flawed, and I don't mean just Scott because it succeeds with Hank and Hope as well. With a villain who is intimidating, but not unlike others, it is refreshing to find him acting upon what he says instead of letting himself be beat to a pulp for two hours. With strange things flying across the screen every five minutes and characters who are hilarious and weird, it is a fun watch but does have moments that you have to turn your brain off for. But it still remains a light within the MCU. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Brayden G Enjoyable and funny Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review sean c If you like super hero films then I guess you would like this, but for me it was rediculous and not funny at all I'm afraid ! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Obi-wan K My favorite ant man movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
