I saw Ant-Man last Monday and enjoyed the movie immensely. The story seemed pretty well balanced to me, with the humor a natural part of the story (rather than a forced bit of comedy). I thought the action/fight scenes were well crafted and of course impressive shrinking/growing effects. There is a particularly fantastic one towards the end of the movie where Ant-Man shrinks and as he does we see a series of nested translucent after-images.
Also, about some of the ant sounds...
Out of curiousity, did anyone catch any references to either Them! (less likely seeing as WB has it), The Incredible Shrinking Man (less likely, Universal has it), or Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (more likely, with Disney)?
Reading up on Hank Pym prior to the films release, I noted that he eventually develops the ability to shrink or grow without needing a fuel tank of Pym particles. The movie notes
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
