The Marvel movies have proven to be terrible re-watches so far with each of the issues apparent on first viewing only being more pronounced with a second viewing, and many more flaws cropping up along the way. If you're looking for decent special effects, then give this one a shot, but if you're looking for even acceptable filmmaking then look elsewhere as this film and its sequel are in the lower echelon of MCU films with the likes of Age of Ultron and Thor: The Dark World.

This film polarizes me greatly as there are moments that are great that are completely ruined by excessive and wholly inappropriate instances of tonal whiplash and embarrassing dialogue. Pym and his daughter have a very well-acted emotional exchange that is absolutely slaughtered by a lazy one-liner from Scott Lang. This is the most egregious bit of the film and it vastly overwhelms any other key moment the movie tried to have. Whenever I'm to think of Ant-Man, I'm brought back to this scene and I remember how great Michael Douglas is and how Marvel so aptly undercut and undid his efforts in these movies.

Bad movie.
