3/5
I think I would probably watch anything coming out from Marvel, so when I saw the trailer of Ant-Man, I already know I would go and watch it. From the trailer, we can already tell that the movie is more Guardian of the Galaxy than Thor or Captain America, but without any other Marvel super hero in this film, this seems like a good way to go.
I would not say I am disappointed with the movie, as I did not have a high expectation to begin with. Ant-Man is not a bad film, but definitely not the best from Marvel. The beginning of the film was rather slow in pace, There were a lot of details that I think I would forgot right after watching the film. The background introduction was used to explain and build up the last climax fight but it took away too much screen time in my opinion making the actual too short and fast.
Despite the pace, Ant-Man is a quite a entertaining movie. There were some good jokes in it. Ant-Man is not a very appealing super hero so I think making it funny is a good way to go and the writer successfully utilise the size differences point to create some very amusing scene. My favourite would be that Thomas the Tank Engine one.
All in all, I do not think you would be missing out if you did not watch Ant-Man, but if you are looking for a movie to sit back and relax, Ant-Man would be a good choice. As it is very light weight and entertaining.
