Good things come in small packages

Rating: 7/10 (19 July 2015)

Originality and surprises are in short supply, but if it plays a familiar tune, it plays it pretty well. Could it have benefited from a few more risks? Probably, but can you blame Marvel for sticking to what works?
Not surprisingly, Paul Rudd makes for a likable hero and his character is easy too root for. The "Ant-Man effect" is pretty fantastic, and though I loathe 3D (and saw this in 2D) there are a number of sequences here that probably would've been enhanced by it.
Overall a solid and entertaining bit of Summer popcorn fare that should satisfy most people, but it's unlikely to blow anyone away.
