This will be a minority opinion (of the 8 reviews posted here on Trakt immediatley after the premiere I was the only one who feels this way - the other rating ranges from 7 to 10 out of 10) but as I left the theatre I felt the whole movie was flat and didn't quite hit the mark. The humour seemed more miss than hit. The people around me seemed similarily unamused. During the whole movie there were only two guffaws from audience members at different moments, one from a child during a silly bit and the other from an adult male as a cynical response to a piece of dialogue. I should reveal that I am not a big Paul Rudd fan and found the first ANT-MAN uninspiring as well. Evangeline Lily (who's work I really do enjoy)'s character was at the forefront of this movie but her strength in expressing a depth of emotion (especially internal conflict) was thwarted by a script that didn't allow any depth beyond stoic determination and there didn't seem to be any reason for her character to be drawn to Rudd's Scott Lang. I thought Michael Douglas role and performance was a disaster. Walton Goggins' villain lacked any convincing motivation. However, Hannah John-Kamen (always a good actor) gave us a convincing portrayal as Ava Starr/Ghost. It's always good to see Michelle Pfeiffer (even for the 15 minutes she is in this movie). CGI was great. Adventure was pivotal. Sight gags abounded (as the last post-credit scene attests). I can see this movie appealing to: 1) people who liked the first movie, 2) Junior High males, and/or 3) Marvel Universe purists (by the way, there is a mid-credit and a post credit scene). Although I will always watch each new addition to the Marvel Universe whether in TV or Movie format, I can only give this film a 5 (meh) out of 10. [Superhero Action Adventure]
