After striking box office gold with "Iron Man," "The Avengers" and "Guardians of the Galaxy," Marvel faces its biggest test yet with "Ant-Man," which hits theaters this Friday following a very public development process that included the departure of Edgar Wright.

Marvel has a lot riding on such a small superhero, but as star/co-writer Paul Rudd proves, size only matters so much. "Ant-Man" has big laughs, big insects and most importantly, big heart.

Watch the video below and leave a comment after you've seen "Ant-Man" to let Sneider know how it measures up to other Marvel movies.
