As a smaller and more contained movie than the Avengers movie, Ant-Man's success can be accredited to Paul Rudd's charming performance and the wit and humour that go into the script. Not deviating much from Marvel's formulaic template for its movies in the cinematic universe, it would be more interesting to see Edgar Wright's version of Ant-Man.

Critics' Consensus: (78% fresh rating at rottentomatoes.com)

Guardians of the Galaxy proved that even Marvel's second-string heroes could shine on the big screen. Critics say Ant-Man continues the trend -- it's an energetic, tongue-in-cheek caper flick that builds to a thrilling climax, even if it doesn't deviate much from Marvel's established template. Rudd stars as Scott Lang, an ex-con looking to go straight who's recruited by the brilliant scientist Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) to execute a daring heist. Donning a suit that allows him to change size, Lang must iinfiltrate Pym's old lab in order to ensure that a revolutionary technology doesn't fall into the wrong hands. The pundits say the Certified Fresh Ant-Man's B-movie sensibility and Rudd's puckish humor carry the day over the movie's more conventional superhero elements.
