Synopsis
Most superheroes seem larger than life. But not this guy! Paul Rudd brings his usual charm and humor to the role of Scott Lang, a small-time thief freshly released from prison and hoping to go straight for the sake of his daughter. But when finding a legitimate job proves hard, Scott agrees to take on a less-than-legal gig – and winds up with a super-suit and a new mentor in the bargain. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) enlists Scott’s help in stealing his shrinking technology back from his own company, where he’s been ousted by protégé Darren Cross (Corey Stoll). Using Pym’s suit, Scott becomes Ant-Man: tiny ant size, serious ant strength. Oh, and he can control ants, and even ride around on them. But it turns out that becoming a superhero isn’t all fun and ant-rides, after all – especially considering Scott is wanted by the cops and still has to contend with Pym’s unimpressed daughter, Hope (Evangeline Lilly). Michael Peña, Judy Greer, and Bobby Cannavale also star – and of course there may be a familiar Marvel face or two that makes an appearance as well. Ant-Man introduces a whole new (tiny) realm into the MCU, with stunning special effects and inventive action that makes the dangers of the small scale seem huge. And this is only the start, since Scott Lang went on to fight alongside the other heroes in Captain America: Civil War and has his own sequel, Ant-Man and The Wasp, arriving in the summer of 2018.

Atom User Reviews
Great film! Don't forget the mid credit scene and the post credit scene.
Surprisingly pretty good flick.
Metacritic
A lively, silly opening and a deft and daft finale rescue it from all its Avengers/Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. back-engineering.
Ant-Man is spry and often funny, despite its familiarity.
Reed and Rudd's film is proof that no matter how silly some ideas sound at first, good things often do come in small packages.
