The ant man unknown facts

Six years ago, when Marvel first announced that Ant-Man would be getting his own movie, I tweeted, "I don't care how much money Avengers makes. The world does not need an Ant-Man movie." Ant-Man, I felt, was too minor a hero, too obscure and inconsequential - in a word, too small - to warrant the big-screen Marvel movie treatment.

How times change.

Stylized action violence, including a couple of icky sci-fi deaths; menace to a child; tolerant depiction of criminal behavior; some crude language and swearing; a mildly crass sexual reference.
ABOUT THESE RATINGS
Words like "minor," "inconsequential" and above all "small," which once struck me as faintly damning, have come to seem like a breath of fresh air. That tweet came before Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and above all Avengers: Age of Ultron - movies in which the sheer global scale of the stakes has become frankly exhausting.
