Enjoyable yet simple
Ant Man is about a
likable burglar, played by Paul Rudd, who finds a suit which allows him
to shrink down to the size of the ant. The owner of the suit, and
previous Ant Man (Michael Douglas) trains the main character to use the
suit in order to stop the villain, who is attempting to militarize a
shrinking suit of his own. The cast is solid and has good chemistry, and
the movie is pleasantly humorous. The action, though there is not a lot
of it, is exciting. It includes great special effects, largely in
sequences when the hero shrinks and controls ants to aid him. On the
other hand the story is for the most part underwhelming, though it does
benefit from having a smaller scale than most superhero movies. The
villain of the movie, played by Corey Stoll, is wasted, lacking
interesting personal motivation or interaction with the main character
until the ending.
