The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeAug 14, 2018
It may not be as significant to the Marvel canon as, say, Black Panther but the skittish wit and playfulness wins us over. Read full review

TimeStephanie ZacharekJul 5, 2018
It has to be more of the same, but better, and the movie doesn’t quite succeed. You can’t really make a bigger, better Ant-Man — that just means defying the diminutive, carefree scale that made the earlier movie work in the first place. Read full review

EmpireDan JolinJun 27, 2018
While it proves an all-round well-mounted distraction, Ant-Man And The Wasp undeniably lacks the scale and ambition of recent Marvel entries. Read full review

VoxAlex Abad-SantosJun 27, 2018
Yet that prickly view of fatherhood is what I kept coming back to as the fizz of the movie faded away. It makes Ant-Man and the Wasp feel like something more distinct than just the Ant-Man sequel, and helps it stand out from the other two movies Marvel put out this year. Read full review

Village VoiceBilge EbiriJun 27, 2018
It’s disjointed, and cluttered, but it’s also entertaining in spurts. Is that enough? Just about, and not quite. Ant-Man and the Wasp overloads and underachieves, but it also never entirely squanders the first film’s good will. Read full review

ScreenCrushMatt SingerJun 27, 2018
It’s about as unassuming as a movie about a man who can grow 65 feet tall could be, and in its relatively subdued scale, it is fairly refreshing and fun. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyDarren FranichJun 27, 2018
Ant-Man and the Wasp is working too hard to look unconvincingly relaxed. Read full review

Paste MagazineWill LeitchJun 27, 2018
The movie is ultimately harmless, trivial puffery that vanishes from your brain as quickly as you experience it. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJul 5, 2018
Good things come in small packages and life’s little pleasures are to be treasured, but Ant Man and The Wasp — together, equal-billed and boring — are too little of a good thing. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliJul 4, 2018
Ant-Man and the Wasp offers nothing close to what we have come to expect from entries into the MCU. Plodding, repetitive, replete with technobabble nonsense and lifeless action, this is easily the worst-written of any of the 20 MCU offerings and may be the worst all-around film featuring a Marvel superhero since Sony rebooted Spider-Man.

The Seattle TimesSoren AndersenJul 3, 2018
There’s a lot going on here, which leads to a whole lot of gassy exposition to explain it all.... Think of it as torture by blah-blah. Read full review

The New YorkerRichard BrodyJul 2, 2018
Reed, a comedic wizard, generates some moments of giddy wonder, but the earlier film’s freewheeling, low-key loopiness is replaced by a dull and dutiful plot that, with its forced references to other Marvel installments, squeezes the action to fit the franchise. Read full review

New York PostJohnny OleksinskiJun 27, 2018
The first flick had a lot going for it: clever cinematography, a refreshing irreverence and Paul Rudd’s boyish charm. But “Wasp” is scant, man. Read full review

Time Out Andrew FrisicanoJul 3, 2018
Even Peña and an able supporting cast that boasts a bear-hugging Bobby Cannavale are hamstrung by a script where too many jokes fall flat. Read full review
