Dr. Hank Pym, the creator of the Pym particle, must devise a plan to keep his company and the pym particle, which can shrink and enlarge things, from being weaponized and sold to the highest bidder. What is his plan you ask? A two bit thief who has just gotten out of prison. Why choose a con man? Because it is heist that is going to save the Pym particle.

S.O.B. and B.S. is said.

Stuff to be aware of:

Grossness - Darren Cross uses a tool on a guy that disintegrates him except for a little blob that falls on the floor. Later a lamb is used. The same thing happens with a small blob on the floor.

Scary - Darren Cross might be scary in his Yellow Jacket suit to younger viewers.

Sexual - There is a scene where you see a man peeing. You only see his back and he zips up his fly when he turns around. A character refers to a girl who’s boobs were the first he ever touched. One character tells another one that his girlfriend is hot. During a gun fight Hank gets shot and another character says, “I’ll blow your brains out.”

Antony gets shot and his wing drifts to the ground. One girl is described as “fine.”

Violence - Scott Lang gets beat up by a guy in prison as a “get out of jail” tradition. During the heist several guys get punched and knocked out. Yellow Jacket gets sucked into a point and kind of folds up on himself which is pretty intense. We know what really happened to him right?

Other - Characters drink wine.

Overall:

Seeing It With Your Family

This movie has some language and fighting like all the MCU movies, but this one is a bit tamer (in my opinion) than movies like Guardians of the Galaxy. Do be prepared, ants will be harmed and killed in this film.

What I Thought

We hadn’t had an origin story that was a heist movie in the MCU so this was the way to go. Hank Pym may be the main Avenger from the comics, but using Scott (a later Ant-Man in the comics) was the perfect way to go. Well done Marvel.
