Marvel's Mistake: Antman

Marvel's Mistake: Antman There are a lot of quotes and sayings about how one cannot learn without making mistakes. That is true in a lot of cases, except for skydiving and making billion dollar hollywood movies. The film Antman, made by Marvel Studios, is a substandard movie. It was a mistake to make it. It is bad because of three main reasons: it has a poor storyline and script, failed to meet expectations, and does not hook the attention of the audience. Antman is a movie about a man named Scott Lang who goes by the superhero alias Antman. This is because he has a special suit that allows him to shrink in size and become the size of an ant.

Like most movies in todays society, it is a movie where the good guy wins. Some of the most famous books published have been tragedies. A tragedy is where the movie ending is unhappy; the main character has a downfall. Famous examples are Romeo and Juliet, Of Mice and Men, and The Fault in Our Stars.

Nemo might have been a more intense and scarier movie! One of the final fights in the ending of the movie, the Antman is fighting another smaller ant man on a child's play set. The scene features toy trains and teddy bears which gives the feeling that you are watching Toy Story or something. This is not the impression you want to get when you see a super hero movie.
