Goofs
When Scott is handcuffed in Paxton's police car, he needs to put the suit's helmet on to shrink in size. However earlier in the film, when the ants enlarge the suit in his cell, the helmet is not connected to the rest of the suit and therefore shouldn't grow. But the unoccupied suit's behavior is not necessarily the same as its effects on an occupant. So the suit could change size successfully while separated, while still NOT being safe for Scott to change without the helmet. See more »

Hank Pym:
Stark!
Howard Stark:
He doesn't seem happy. Hello, Hank. You're supposed to be in Moscow.
Hank Pym:
I took a detour... Through your defense lab.
[slams a vial of Pym particles on table]
Peggy Carter:
Tell me that isn't what I think it is.
Hank Pym:
That depends if you think it's a poor attempt to replicate my work. Even for this group, that takes nerve.

Antman. When I first heard about the plans for this movie I laughed to myself and thought, "How can becoming smaller be cool?" Sure enough, Marvel has surpassed my expectations and turned something I thought would be lame and uninteresting into something hilarious and actually pretty cool. I'm not going to include any spoilers, but I will say the fighting style of Antman is much better than I thought it would be. I learned a lot about the story as well as the abilities he has.
Antman gets much more interesting when doing combat. The ability to shrink and grow at will is something Marvel has gotten very creative with.
The language in this film is good enough for my young children to watch. There are no F or GD bombs to ruin the mood and the moment with the family. I'd say I'd surely watch it again.
