Corey Stoll also goes through the motions as the rather generic and under-characterised villain. The family scenes are a mixed bag, sometimes they are sweet and touching while at other times they're a little flat and predictable, contributing towards a few rare dull stretches. While the humour mostly works wonders, there are a few instances where it's not so funny and not very well placed, like in emotional scenes that are actually quite poignant and then interrupted by a joke that is not only forced and unfunny but also not belonging in the scene. Seeing it for myself finally a year on, 'Ant-Man' could have been better. Also wasn't sure what to make of the trailer, which made the film out to be rather bland and too reliant on humour. The character is not exactly a household name and is always tossed aside in favour of other superhero characters like Spiderman that have had longer longevity and perhaps have more compelling origins and stories, hence why they are adapted more. 'Ant-Man' manages to be a better film than expected. Having enjoyed a vast majority of Marvel's superhero output (more so than most) without worshipping them, 'Ant-Man' is a minor effort from them but there is still a good amount to like about it. ![]()
