Ant-Man seemed like another paint-by-the-numbers superhero movie to me by blackwater 01/01/2017, 2:33pm PST
The first part was a little bit interesting. Lovable loser ends up in jail for theft, loses his wife and daughter. He then steals a suit which turns him into Ant-man. Terrified by its power, he tries to return it to the house he stole it from, only to be arrested. The homeowner, Pym, explains that this was all a test. They then join forces to defeat the Big Bad in forgettable CGIgasm.

The problem is... people's motivations don't make sense in this movie. If you're a thief who just got out of prison, you aren't going to try to return something you stole. A "master thief" would not be that stupid or that naive. Secondly... why doesn't Pym just use the suit himself? I know there's some ridiculously complex reason the screenwriters came up with, but come on. It's what you would do in that scenario. You're not going to set up a test for some random criminal, in hopes that they'll be friendly to you and capable of using your technology.

This leads to really goofy scenarios. "Hi Pym, I'm boning your daughter now. I guess you have no reason to trust me or believe that I am compentent. But, I'm here in your house now, so let's roll with it." Ooh. Awkward.

They could have at least made Pym a mad scientist type, to explain this away. They even had a plot point where the shrinking device can cause brain damage if used improperly, so they had a perfect opportunity to use this as an out. But no.

On the plus side, the movie had a sense of humor, which is often lacking in superhero movies these days. And it's not a fucking crossover with half of the comic book characters known to man in it. But Iron Man and Deadpool did the funny superhero movie genre better.
