Our Review
Ant-Man (2015) is a action and comedy film from Movies. It runs about 117 minutes. It premiered on July 17, 2015. Viewers rate it 7.2 out of 10.
What Ant-Man Is About
Marvel’s Ant-Man Shorts is the next installment in Marvel Animation’s series of cartoon shorts, starring Josh Keaton (Voltron, DC Super Hero Girls, Ben 10) as Scott Lang, the incredible shrinking hero. In this new Disney XD series of shorts, Ant-Man fights evil alongside the Wasp and Hank Pym while also occasionally helping his daughter Cassie with her homework. The shorts are ready to view right now! The Marvel shorts franchise, which previously starred Rocket and Groot, are animated by Passion Pictures.
What to Expect When You Watch
It runs about 117 minutes and it leans into its action/comedy roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the film leans on Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas and Evangeline Lilly to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll, Michael Pena and Peyton Reed lead the cast.
Key roles include Paul Rudd as Scott Lang / Ant-Man; Michael Douglas as Hank Pym; Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne; Corey Stoll as Darren Cross / Yellowjacket; Michael Pena as Luis.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, comedy and sci-fi have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Movies’s other originals, a 7.2/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2015 and carried by Movies, it lands hardest with action and comedy viewers.
How Ant-Man Compares
If Ant-Man lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/comedy lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
Where to Stream
Ant-Man comes from Movies. Check your preferred platform for current availability, since regional rights move around.

On the whole Ant-Man is the kind of film that rewards a patient watch, with Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its action/comedy roots, It has held up since 2015 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Ant-Man is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and comedy lane, the audience score holds around 7.2/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.2/10. Watch it if you want action/comedy you can settle into.
