	Author	Review
United States	David Ehrlich Time Out	"The impulse to play things safe proves emblematic of a film that shrinks in the face of a challenge. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Succeeds well enough as a genial diversion and sometimes a delightful one, predicated on the rarely heeded Hollywood wisdom that less really can be more."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The latest film franchise culled from Marvel's comic-book universe packs a ton of fun into a teeny package. Its low-key charm helps glide us over trouble spots in tone and pacing. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"Reed and Rudd's film is proof that no matter how silly some ideas sound at first, good things often do come in small packages."	POS
United Kingdom	Catherine Shoard The Guardian	"Watching it is like channel-surfing between 'Hot Fuzz', a duff early 90s Michael Douglas drama and the very schlockiest bits of 'Interstellar'. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Like 'Guardians of the Galaxy' (...) 'Ant-Man' dabbles in the bright, playful colors of the superhero spectrum, reveling in moments of cartoonish whimsy and smirky humor."	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Although the story dynamics are fundamentally silly (...) a good cast led by a winning Paul Rudd puts the nonsense over in reasonably disarming fashion."	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Jokey rather than funny, and a bit forced when it's trying to be sincere, 'Ant-Man' has plenty of enthusiasm but not a lot of inspiration."	NEU
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"The plot's the same old thing. Mad, mad, mad, mad science; imminent apocalypse; parent/child issues; blah blah blaggidy blah. The tone of Ant-Man, however, is relatively light and predominantly comic"	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"As someone who has liked a majority of these Marvel adaptations, I can only hope that 'Ant-Man' represents a temporary dip that’s not the beginning of a slippery slope."	NEG
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"Extremely likable, with a few moments of proper wonder. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
