A Stereotypical Hero-Origin Story

Rating: 7/10 (24 February 2019)

Very similar to the rest of the Marvel movies: quippy hero gains powers and eventually faces off against a vengeful bad guy, meeting a female love interest along the way. Ant-Man stands out only with the use of its novel special effects (Tiny things become big things, and big things become tiny things etc.) and some great comedic bits with Michael Pena. Good acting, good effects, good premise, mediocre plot. By no means a bad movie, but nothing extraordinary.
