REVIEW SUMMARY
"Ant-man continues to feel like the MCU’s version of a big goofy sitcom. But given how fun it is, that's not a bad thing. This movie is a bright and bubbly superhero yarn that zips along keeping you entertained throughout. However, COMPARED to other Marvel films, Ant-man (even with the Wasp at his side) remains the weak link of the bunch. And as likeable as Paul Rudd is, it is Evangeline Lilly who steals the movie proving she’s got the chops to be a great movie heroine. Perhaps the mid-credits scene was the best part (the audience I saw it with reacted more to that one scene than they did anything in the “actual” movie. So be sure to stick around for that!"
