The New York Times says, "Like “Guardians of the Galaxy,” last year’s off-brand Marvel hit, “Ant-Man” dabbles in the bright, playful colors of the superhero spectrum, reveling in moments of cartoonish whimsy and smirky humor." Rolling Stone gives it 3 out of 4 stars and says it "packs a ton of fun into a teeny package". Variety has a positive review.
Roger Ebert's site gives it 3.5 out of 4 stars and says it "provides the most pure, uncomplicated fun, and even joy, of any Marvel picture I’ve seen." Rotten Tomatoes has an 86% audience score.

Yes, it has a bit of silly in it--like Guardians of The Galaxy. Although Guardians was a lot better, this was better than I expected. Although the bar was set low--hehe! It was a bit better than I thought it would be. :)
ReplyDeleteI liked Guardians of the Galaxy, but maybe I expected silliness there. And I loved Groot :) I thought Antman would be more of a straight superhero movie, so I expected comic elements but I didn't expect the general silly tone.
DeleteI'd never even heard of this one. It's probably not something I would want to watch, but I appreciate the review.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have heard of it without being told by the men in my family. I don't remember seeing anything promoting it.
DeleteI loved Ant Man, and Guardians of the Galaxy is one of my all time favourites! :-)
ReplyDeleteGuardians was a treat, I agree :) I'm all alone on not liking Antman. Everybody else seems to like it.
DeleteI liked this movie. Not as good as Guardians of the Galaxy, but not a bad film. My hubby likes these films so I am familiar with them. I will say I enjoy them-they are good entertainment. :) Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI would probably never have seen any of the superhero films if my hubby wasn't a fan of these characters since childhood. He helps me appreciate their background stories.
