Opposite of a complaint

Rating: 9/10 (23 August 2015)

Given that this movie is directly in a lineup that started from the Incredible Hulk, being a lineup of fine action movies, the *only* reason to complain about a lack of action is if you haven't seen them, or aren't having the broad MCU storyline in mind. That is to say, Ant-man can be considered as a "break" from the MCU films that have specifically lots of action, namely every MCU installment except for Iron Man 2. It doesn't fail to be funny, particularly with the character Luis, and even succeeds in slipping one Avenger appearance in there (which turns out to be a funny encounter between him and the main character) to make fans happy. This film lacks "missed opportunities" , and the movie-makers did a good job of doing something so small as having there be a Hydra-buyer present in Cross' company towards the end - a simple allusion to the bigger antagonist-sphere of the MCU. (that is, Hydra)
It doesn't have the thrill that exists in both Avengers movies, but that isn't a disadvantage - that's made up for in the fact that this hero (Ant-man) is particularly unique. That's what this movie offers, a new to-be-Avenger-hero who turns super teeny tiny, just joining the lineup. No reason to find it a disappointment, if an Ant-man is what you wanted.
