Ant-Man

Ant-Man

Action, Sci-Fi

Armed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.


The critical consensus

The ghost of one-time director Edgar Wright haunts this only occasionally inspired comic-book blockbuster starring Paul Rudd as the incredible shrinking criminal and Michael Douglas his inventor mentor.

Paul Rudd's superhero is so insubstantial he can't compete with Marvel rivals.

***(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 09/07/2015

A science-fiction, action-heist, superhero comedy soap opera, this straddles as many genres as the Avengers films have characters but manages to do most of them pretty well. Extremely likable, with a few moments of proper wonder.

It’s Ant-Man, not pants, man. Marvel passes its biggest test in years with flying critters… plus wit, flair, top-notch casting and some good, gratuitous size gags. Your move, Cap.

****(*)Kevin Harley, Total Film, 08/07/2015

The real superpower of Marvel Studios’ incredible shrinking insect is simply the hilarity of his size.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 16/07/2015

This is a film that never loses sight of its title character, even when that character literally falls between the cracks.

***(*)(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 18/07/2015

To really grip, however, Ant-Man needed a bigger story.

***(*)(*)Henry Fitzherbert, Sunday Express, 19/07/2015

Not so f-ant-astic, then, just a little ant-iclimatic.
