An ex con is recruited to stop a super-villain with a shrinking suit.

Forgettable fun. The action doesn't drag on as badly as the typical Marvel movie (thanks to the heist formula being a change of pace from the usual Cartoons Punching Each Other). The sense of humor is enough to keep the movie

entertaining, but never enough to get a laugh. They spend a lot of time with character development (so, good for them for at least trying, I guess?) You can definitely tell it was written by committee, but it's still a lot better than, say, a Thor movie.

This film had passed me by as part of the Avengers franchise. So I didn't know what to expect. But I really enjoyed it. It's fun and it doesn't have the endless, fake special effects battles. I'll never look at an ant the same way again!

Family values schmaltz with some fun bits. In a way, the various appearances of the The Falcon were the most fun part.
