I was looking forward to an exciting adventure tale. Instead, I got a YA angst piece in which both father and daughter (Scott and Cassie) are more wrapped up in their romantic wants than in the adventure. Meh.

It's like Mr. Starr couldn't think of a better plot line than using a 14 year old's infatuation with an older boy as a source of conflict between father and daughter. It's a boring source Mr. Starr. Why couldn't the conflict be about Cassie's desire to be more involved with Scott's Ant-Man heroics and wanting to help? Instead, we get a bout of petty jealousy between Cassie and a friend over a boy which results in an ill advised usage of the Ant-Man suit for an act of an even more petty bit of revenge on said friend who, after Cassie sort of apologizes to her, disappears completely from the story. Zzzzz.

The more interesting story centers around the kidnapping plot with its sharp twist, the scientist who wants to steal Pym's tech for her own use, and the FBI agent Carlos, who could actually become a friend in time.

Also, we get to visit Tony Stark and his girlfriend, Pepper Potts for a bit. ( )
