Review of Ant-Man (2015) by Gimly M — 04 Jun 2018
Less spectacle than most MCU films have been serving up, particularly in phase two, but the story and characterisation is actually a little stronger than the past couple of tales Marvel has served up.
Villain Darren Cross, AKA "Yellowjacket" (originally a hero in the comics) lacks the onscreen presence of top tier Marvel-evil Loki, but is certainly one of the stronger offerings the MCU has given us. His twisted relationship with his former mentor gives another level to this Marvel film not seen since Winter Soldier.
Not so much a super hero film as a super heist film, Ant-Man was a welcome refreshment to the comic book movie party, and though I always like to give myself some time to find exactly where MCU films fit in my overall experience, at the moment I would say Ant-Man sits somewhere comfortably in the middle, and is well worth a watch, even for those who aren't deeply involved with the film series as a whole.
