In de Verenigde Staten hebben al de eerste persscreenings van Marvel-film Ant-Man plaatsgevonden en zoals vaker het geval bij dit soort films, gold er geen embargo op de sociale media reacties. Hieronder hebben we dan ook een hele reeks eerste reacties verzameld. Zoals blijkt, zijn de meeste recensenten erg positief over de film, maar zijn er ook mensen die de film minder geslaagd vinden. De meerderheid lijkt echter wel te vinden dat Marvel er weer in geslaagd is een vreemde superheld te nemen en er een geloofwaardig iets van te maken.
In de film van regisseur Peyton Reed wordt spelen de personages Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) en slechterik Yellowjacket (Corey Stoll) belangrijke rollen. Hank Pym, is gestopt als Ant-Man, maar hij en dochter Hope van Dyne, hebben een nieuwe held nodig, om Yellowjacket te stoppen. De film gaat op 6 augustus in première.
ANT-MAN is good. Not a disaster like some expected but also not a homerun. Has a *must see* after the end credits scene.

ANT-MAN is fantastic fun with heart, wildly clever set-pieces, and a scene-stealing Michael Pena. It's a movie I want to be friends with.

#ANTMAN is both fun and funny, and just a damn good time. As much as I love #PaulRudd, I have to say .@realmichaelpena steals the show.

Ant-Man is more methodical than most Marvel movies but it's hilarious & a totally great ride. So many fun MCU links too. Another winner.

Two Ant-Man credits scenes, each better than the last.

It takes ANT-MAN a moment to get cranked up, but once it does, it's sensational. My favorite third-act of any Marvel movie.

Sadly 'Ant-Man' falls flat in almost every way. Doesn't seem like it's sure of what it wants to be. Not so much bad as it is blah.

Recent Marvel credit scenes have been kind of minor, but ANT-MAN has two (mid-credits and at the very end) that, unlike its hero, are huge.

So I saw ANT-MAN & I dug it! Most inventive action scenes yet & tons of heart. A softer, more intimate #Marvel movie and a great family film

"Ant-Man" is hugely entertaining, and a truly significant puzzle piece in the Marvel Universe. This one's got a big sweet heart.

ANT-MAN has some fun shrinking man stuff, but wow it's 90% exposition. Not one thing left implied. #FranchiseFred

I liked Ant-Man more than I did Avengers: Age of Ultron, mainly because Marvel's doing something different and it works as a stand-alone

Ant Man is great. Way better than Age of Ultron. @edgarwright deserves co-director credit. Feels like his movie.

Ant-Man ties into the MCU without using any tangents. Almost all buildup, but that's a part of the fun with heist films. Great script.
