Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Sex & Nudity: Ant-Man contains infrequent mild sexual references.

There is one mention of a pair of breasts being "touched", which is a passing reference and is not dwelt on further.

Violence & Gore: There are some instances of moderate action violence, including a few scenes of fist fights, kicking and gunfire. Men are punched by a man the size of an ant and fly through glass and break furniture. Most of the violence has a comic element. There is one scene in which the main antagonist shoots his colleague with a futuristic gun and is turned to a small blob of goo. This scene does not put any emphasis on gore and the transformation is rapid. Sight of blood is infrequent and discreet. 

Profanity:  Language in the film is of mild impact, and there is one use of moderate language ('pussy').

Uses of mild bad language include 'shit', 'damn', 'hell', 'ass', 'son of a bitch' and some religious exclamations.

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Characters drink in a bar before a heist.

Hank Pym smokes a cigar in one scene.

Luis jokes about getting high in one scene, Scott rolls his eyes.

Frightening/Intense Scenes:  The appearance of the main antagonist may be unsettling to younger viewers, and there is a mild sense of threat in regards to the path of destruction he leaves behind and the conflict between him and the protagonist. However this is assuaged when he successfully manages to penetrate his armour and disable him.


Story: Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

Likes : Right to start with im going to be 100% honest & not review this as a fan boy of marvel, so you've been warned because this film is far from being a 8 out of 10 rating ; which ive notice the review this film has got seriously looks as if these guys are being paid off just to give the film good review's when seriously this film was just so generic its unreal.
Dont get me wrong the film visual effects & character are some what ok & entertaining to watch, alot of the special effect of the shrinking are awesome & the suit design of yellow jacket is true to the comic books which looks menacing, but in all seriousness what the hell when wrong with this film, ya its got a few good references to the avengers & link to captain america's civil war film coming & well as the age of ultron referenced as a passing joke but sorry i really can't give this film a good rating.

Dislikes : Were do i start............ Im not sure if the fail of this film is because of the Edgar Wright leaving the project over creative differences  which i think would have probably made this film better, maybe because im not sure if its the characters writing or cast thats the problem.
I mean the main bad guy dosent come off as this menacing bad guy it come off so generic you kind of not feeling his character in the suit which is a shame because the suit is pretty bad ass.
The other thing as well sat in the cinema watching this film had a few funny scene, but when the audience isn't laughing that a serious bad sign that the film isn't funny in an way, i will give you one reason for this; the generic snail's pace of the film at the begin & almost all the way through the film completely killed the emotion & jokes in the film almost putting them to sleep. Visual yes the film is great but sadly this is all that is keep this film from being a complete flop in my mind.


Overall : Snail pace puts audience to sleep, generic bad guy, great visual effect.

Rating:  3.8 out of 5 for entertainment / 6.1 out of 10 for concept.
