So I Don't Have To


In an occasional feature, we present capsule reviews from correspondents who go see the movies that we don't have an interest in seeing.  Today, veteran filmgoer Phillip Blanchard weighs in on the latest super-hero slog, "Ant-Man."

Another week, another Marvel movie. Ant-Man is among the lesser known characters in the superhero parade, so deviations from the comic-book canon are no big deal. Paul Rudd, the guy who got the girl in "Clueless," plays the entirely implausible title character. Michael Douglas follows Robert Redford into the genre.

This is much quieter than the usual bombfest. Funny at times, but not "Guardians of the Galaxy" funny.
