Despite their now strained relationship LangHaving been placed under house arrest due to his involvement with the Avengers, Scott Lang (Ant Man) receives a message from the Quantum Realm that he believes to be from the wife of Hank Pym. Despite their now strained relationship Lang contacts Pym and, along with Pym’s daughter Hope, they set out to investigate who and where the message is coming from. Ant Man and the Wasp without doubt suffered for being released between Infinity War and Endgame, and it hardly reinvents the Marvel formula, but with its creative action sequences, sense of humour and stellar cast it's a solid movie in it’s own right and a worthy addition to the MCU.

It's fine. That's really all I can say about it, it was an entertaining-enough movie. It was fun enough to keep me watching until the end, but that's really all there is to say about this movie.

It felt like 3/4 of the movie took place in Ant Man's home or the Wasp and her father's laboratory. There was also a 'quantum realm' but it was shown for only a few minutes. I like intimate personal stories, especially when super heroes are involved, because too much super hero-ing without knowing the characters gets very dull very fast. However, was there a reason the movie could not have included a broader range of environments? And the two main actors all need a little more spark, an espresso at least, before filming. The movie was strangely low energy, despite all the shrinking and growing and fighting. I can't imagine such a problem if the movie starred, say, Robert Downy Junior and Margot Robbie. Those two have so much personality. But here something - something besides the relatively few sets - was missing. It wasn't the plot, the plot with a full range of sets of bad guys of varying degrees, was well done. But some element of personality and/or energy was lacking. All that said, Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer did their jobs well. Both leads, though, were missing something I can't define. Maybe chemistry between them was lacking. That could be it. They're supposed to be in love but, I didn't feel it. Expand

One of the better MCU movies. Better than Black Panther, but not as good as either Infinity War or Thor: Ragnarok. Let's be real here. The only reason why you are watching this is for the post credit scenes.

The action is well done and the choreography is spot on. There is a lot to like about this film and the ending hints at what is to come, which is really exciting to think about. This film shows that Marvel really cannot make a bad film and continues to succeed with each release. Now the long wait begins until Captain Marvel in March 2019! Expand

What I liked about the first Ant-Man is that it wasn't so much a superhero flick as it was a heist film with superpowers. Once again, Lang and crew aren't out to save the world or stop a supervillain. They're just trying to do some science stuff and people keep getting in their way. This more self-centered approach taken by the protagonists allows them to stand out a bit from their numerous costumed peers. They never stray too far from the established MCU formula though.

The action makes great use of the characters' ability to manipulate size. Although outside of a few exceptions most of the best set-pieces were spoiled in the trailer. That car chase is actually the biggest sequence in the movie. The humor is very safe and like much of the MCU's third phase it's one of the defining factors of the experience. I laughed a lot, but most of the early material falls flat because Rudd seems to be phoning it in. Something he does on and off. Michael Douglas is also guilty of this.

The plot deals a lot with the fallout of Civil War. The characters were really affected by Scott's involvement which serves as a driving factor for him to fix everything. The constant references to that earlier film makes sense given where this sequel falls in the MCU's overall timeline, but it's also kind of detrimental as it makes the movie feel more dated than it actually is. Infinity War just happened and everyone is still caught up in that. We've moved on from The Avengers one-time squabble amongst themselves.

At the same time I kind of like this smaller-scaled approach that feels more detached from the rest of the heroes. It allows us to have sweet moments of father-daughter bonding between Lang and his little girl while he struggles with his non-heroic pals at keeping a business going. Some down-to-earth, real life stuff that distinguishes Ant-Man as more of your average guy. His fellow ex-cons might not actually contribute anything to the plot, but it's nice to see to some regular dudes amongst all of the extraordinary happenings. Especially when they're so darn funny. Randall Park is a gift in this.

One thing Marvel has really been listening to and trying to work on are the villains. There's still a ways yet to go, but things have been on the rise in this department ever since Peter Parker got his long-awaited MCU standalone. "Ghost" is another example of this steady improvement. Mostly because she's not actually a bad person. Her motives are understandable and even sympathetic. They just so happen to put her at odds with our heroes. I would have loved to have learned more about her background in S.H.I.E.L.D. and want to see her character come back as an ally to further enrich the cast. Same for Fishburne.

Definitely one of the safer Marvel movies, but after Infinity War it's nice to see something solely concerned with doing it's own thing. This is actually one of the more eccentric sides of the MCU. Giant ants run around and people explore another dimension they call the "Quantam Realm." A place I really want them to reveal more information about as it's even more interesting than the depths of space we've seen a bunch of by now alongside the Guardians and Thor. It's almost pure silliness across the board and that's fun, but sometimes it can be a little too goofy for it's own good. The inconsequential nature of the movie is actually a positive factor that increased my overall enjoyment.

Some of the features of the original still hold true for this sequel. To quote my previous review, "…has a lighter touch and goes for a more human connection. That means some enjoyable laffs and more chat than is needed for action films. When there is action, the miniature effects are fun and the sequences clip along at a snappy pace. Without Rudd’s charm the movie would have “little” appeal." These are not the typical superhero saving-the-world exploits, but personal quests with more interactions and more humor. Still, it's entertaining and fun. NOTE: There are 2 post-movie teasers: 1 after the end title credits (which requires a knowledge of "Avengers Infinity War") and the other at the very end (which is just silly). Expand

BitmouseJul 8, 2018
This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I actually really liked it. However, I think it is a great example of male oppression and toxic meritocracy. Paul Rudd's character is talked down to the whole movie. This supposed inferiority is due to his being labelled a, "criminal," and sentanced to jail time for righting a wrong committed by a former employer. His further, "wrong doing," SPOILER ALERT was going to join the fight in Civil War, without letting his girlfriend know.

While I can see why should would be upset, it doesn't seem worthy of this sort of total rejection of him. For some reason anytime his character does anything anyone questions he is treated as the total failure and f***up, supposedly because of his prior, "criminal," act. However, all of his actions were in essence heroic. He is a clearly loving, engaged, and arguably ethically ideal role model to his daughter, and always makes the right heroic choices in his film. Still he is treated as less-than.

To me it is sad that this sort of treatment goes unquestioned in our society. It seems to reflect the truth that father's are generally treated as comedic relief in pop culture and scapegoats.

While men headline Marvel movies, for the most part they are emblematic of problems that are at least equal to women in fiction if not worse for the fact they go unrecognized. It is sad that often times people laugh at the concept of a Men's Movement or the need to examine gender norms and expectations as applied to men in our country. It is fairly obvious that our culture has a tremendous problem with, "men."

The plot is really really simple, Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) want to bring Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) back from the quantum realm because they think she might be alive; they need Scott Lang (Paul Rudd)'s help but he is on house arrest, besides he feels like he was her for a moment and that proves they are right; meanwhile a female villain named Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) is a menace for them and they have to fight with her, she is a good character. Evangeline Lilly is wonderful as The Wasp and we want to see more of She and Ant-Man in action and their chemistry.

There are 2 post-credit scenes, the first one is awesome and connects with Infinity War & Avengers 4.

The Bad:

This movie has a moderate case of sequelitis - some of the jokes in the middle 3rd of the movie miss their mark. I hate that feeling in a movie theater when the writers clearly thought they had a gem of a gag and the audience stays silent. Cringe-worthy!

Stuffed-In Bad Guy: There's generic corrupt corporate bad-guy named Sonny Burch who apparently was in Iron Man III but did not achieve much of an impact in that movie either because I can't even remember him. The actor was fine, but the character wasn't necessary.

The Good:
The best character was Hope Pym(Wasp)- she was a total bad-ass, quite the opposite of fumbling and bumbling Scott Lang, who we love seeing grope his way blindly through life and his action scenes. The Wasp probably laid out more fodder than Captain America in his first movie. In addition her relationship with her dad was much improved, and it was nice to see that carried through from the end of the last film. The seemed like a real family.

Ghost: I want to see this character again; she was something I was not prepared to process. Her backstory is compelling and Hannah Johm Kamen nails it to perfection. I thought about Ghost more than any other character after I left the theater. Love the effects on her as well as her impressive array of powers.

Humor: Although I dissed this aspect of the movie above, overall the writing was above average. There are some truly memorable funny moments as well as a few duds. The good outweighs the bad here.

Lawrence Fishburn: Great to see one of my favorite actors rocking the Goliath character. Unlike many add-on characters to sequels I felt that he wasn't just made up to plug a hole in a script.

The Kid: Wow, how do I hate cute kids in action movies. But for some reason this kid isn't annoying - in fact she's naturally cute and funny. Perhaps it's because she doesn't act sassy and say adult lines which are developmentally unrealistic from a psychological perspective. Her lines are what a kid her age might actually say.

Randall Park as Jimmy Woo: Another terrific addition to the cast, Officer Woo had some of the funniest lines in the film. I'd love to see this guy again in other MCU movies. He sucks at cards though...

The Action - Especially the End Sequence: The effects are spectacular, the editing is spot on, and I couldn't find any major plot holes with how everything turned out.

Fan Boy Cred: I spent a large portion of my childhood actually reading the comics these characters are based on and I've romanticized it in my head for decades. To me, this film - along with many of the other higher quality MCU films - honored the source material.

So is this film good, yes it is, it's not a greatAnt-man and the wasp was a sequel that I was really looking forward mainly because I loved the first ant-man, I thought it stood out compared to most MCU movies and was unique in its own way. So is this film good, yes it is, it's not a great movie but I still do really enjoy this movie. Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly work very well together and both give their best while performing. Michael douglas and Michael Pena are funny and bring some great one liners and that's something I can give a big praise to in this movie, the humour is always on point and doesn't feel forced and misused. The action scenes are fun and exactly what I wanted to see, the gorgeous visuals and well planned use of cgi never make these scenes feel fake or poorly adapted on the screen. Now as I said this movie is good but I had a lot of problems with it, the shows villains are very cliche and follow the same villain routes and plan outs that you would see in a cartoon show. They also try to make the film feel very serious and dark, but it never pulls off, either its because paul rudd lets off a one liner or michael pena starts talking and their is never any real tensity. One of my other big issues was how they treated the character of ant-man. In the first film we see that he is fairly smart, he's no genius but he is smart, but in this film they treat ant-man almost like and idiot and I didn't like that, he's always the one to make a dumb decision, or not do something correctly and that felt a bit off putting for me.

But overall I do suggest go checking this one out, I did enjoy this movie I don't like it quite as much as the first but it is still a blast to watch and I'm sure will please most followers of the MCU.

After Scott Lang comeback of the quantum realm, until then impossible, Hope, Scott and Hank Pym, will trie to pull out Janet, the original wasp, from there. To do it so, they will need to get some equipments, face some trouble caused by old situations, and deal with other people that want their stuff. All of that while Scott still is trying to trick the cops and take care of his daughter.
This movie is meant to be fun with zero deepening in the subjects that he stands in, if you are looking for something that is deep and goes beyond the marvel standard this isn't for you, but if you want a fun movie that will not make you think much and have a good time, this may be perfect. It's a lightweight movie, that you can watch, have a deep breath and relax with some fun moments and some fun characters and a simple story.
The actresses and actors are a high point, they are all so cool and fun. Evangeline Lilly is very fun and have great expressions, you totally buy her in the action scenes, she did a really nice job being able to pass emotions and peculiar moments while with Paul, being distrustful but at the same time testing. Paul Rudd isn't very different, he don't have big expressions as Evangeline, but in other hand he have a great comical timing and really pass the nice guy idea, he is also very fun. Michael Douglas was the most serious good guy in the movie but at the same he had to intertwine it with comic moments, he also were able to express emotions in determinated moments. Michelle Pfeiffer had really little time in the movie, i don't think she could pass much emotions as it was suposed to, but considering the movie tone, it was very functional. Michael Peña really deserves a light because he had one job in this movie, make us laugh, and he did it well.
The action scenes are creative, but not that much, i mean, the situation with the size of objects, cars, the increasing and decreasing the size of the things and people is what make the difference here, it is a kind of power that we don't see in other movies with any frequency, so it is not just cool but different as well, but at the same time you feel that it could be better.
The relationship between Scott and Hope is another big point here, the two actors definely have some chemistry wich make the conversations and atittudes among them be not just natural, but pretty.
I get that the point of the movie never was to be deep or explain anything, but i believe that they could have sacrifice some fbi invading Scott's house time, wich happens a lot, to show more and make us feel more about the quantum realm, the quantum realm is what they are talking about the whole movie and what the plot is about, and when they finally reach there, it is beautiful, but it is so fast and don't show almos anything. Janet was there for many and many years, she says that she is changed, but they gave no clue about how she survived there for so long, how that place works, what possibilities it give, considering that the movie is about that place, i really expected them to develop more. The story of the movie doesn't try to surprise us any time, it is very predictable, and it does have some questionable things that may be considered as plot holes. The Ghost character is good, it does have a very clear motivation wich make total sense. The movie also have way to many subplots, every character have a little arc and that may have make the movie get a little swollen. One pretty good thing of the movie is the relationship between the characters, so as the Scott and his daughter, that is formidable. One thing that i found really good here, is the dimension of the story, i like to say that not all super hero movies need to save the world like a lot of them does, this one it is good in this sense, it is just a rescue and assault movie.
The visual effects work in the majority of the movie, in some moments the green screen got to obvious wich bothered me, the Ghost effects i found pretty cool, not just her moviment but that combined with the voice altered really gave a badass looking character. The effects of the the increasing and decreasing the size were pretty good.
The movie is fun, definely give some nice laughs, the action is good, the movie is very episodical and doesn't present nothing new, it was made intended to be just a little adventure with some fun and a family junction. Definely a not very memorable one.

Science is good.. Tony Stark taught us that.. But his father, Howard, was none the less.. as is Dr. Hank Pym.. But the Fun we get from these two Rivals.. Ahaaa.. Awesome.. :D

The first Ant-Man had some Great visuals, especially when Scott first pressed that button & got Ant sized (followed by flood in the bath-tub :P) was just Epic. The tech has grown since then & now we have medium sized Ant-Man. (Nope, this not Spoiler, Yo)

So, the story isn’t goin’ as it should but you can have your Fun moments here & there. It revolves Just around that tuckin’ “Briefcase” which got “Antized” by Hank in the trailer. :D :P It could’ve been better, Feige.

~ Scott Lang, Paul Rudd, is Awesome. Boy, he was cracking jokes in F.R.I.E.N.D.S :D Now, here he is.. saving the world.. we may say Universe as Infinity War had some Powerful effect on Ant-Man’s world (T'is no Spoiler guys, goin’ good.. just playing with words..)

That may seem like an overload, but eachIt’s another year in Hollywood, and that means that it’s time for another round of Marvel movies. Each year since Phase 3 began, Disney and Marvel Studios have been releasing three movies per year. That may seem like an overload, but each film has come to feel like a fresh and unique take on a similar story. The last of 2018’s Marvel movies, Ant-Man and The Wasp, also offers its own signature take on humor and action to move the typical storyline forward. That storyline is to defeat bad guys who are chasing what the good guys are chasing, but there are definitely different elements added to the story that set this film apart. Overall, I enjoyed this movie and wish to watch it again. Now, I am going to elaborate on this.

I like to begin with the negative aspects of a movie because a positive view on life is to view the good in everything in the end. I have also been superstitious for many years, with one aspect of superstition being that I believe that the best is always saved for last. With this viewpoint established, I will say that the movie does begin quite slow and doesn’t have the greatest initial buildup. This isn’t to say that I don’t like slow films; many award-winning movies are slow, and even Star Wars films are slow. However, there is a purpose to a movie having a slower pacing if there is something that it is building up to. I did not feel that the information provided to us as the audience was valid enough for this movie to feel boring. To me, the main villain wasn’t that interesting as a character, and the secondary villain was not villainous enough. The motives for the latter was a very generic corporate money-driven motive. At least Ghost, the main villain (not a spoiler, since she’s featured in the trailers) has a reasoning for wanting what our heroes want. In fact, it is more of a need. Fortunately, slow pacing in the beginning of the movie is the last of the problems, as things just get better.

First, I would like to recognize the great Paul Rudd for bringing a quirky and charming humor to his character of Ant-Man that makes him a unique MCU villain. He is certainly more entertaining than boring ol’ Captain America, and I would definitely prefer his character over T’Challa (The Black Panther), who lacks interesting qualities. Along with Ant-Man himself, the rest of the main cast does a great job making this movie feel unique in its approach to generating laughs. It is more awkward, random, and situational humor that elaborates on it’s random jokes until another character has to get everyone back on board. If you remember the first movie, you’ll remember that Scott Lang’s friend Luis (Michael Peña) has a fantastic way of retelling a story and how everything happened that led to the present moment in time. He uses this storytelling method once again, but this time it lasts longer and is even more humorous than before. For me, the comedy of the movie was its main draw for me to watch it again, just as it had been for the first film.

What also sets apart Ant-Man and The Wasp from other Marvel movies was its different kind of action. Generally, action movies have the same kind of action that includes punches, explosions, and chases. Many MCU movies also have this kind of action. A few exceptions include the emphasis on hand-to-hand combat in Captain America films, spaceship-driven action in the Guardians of the Galaxy films (my favorite MCU series), and trippy wizardry in Doctor Strange. Ant-Man films have their own approach to action in that they constantly involve shrinking. It’s so much fun to see regular real-world environments from a microscopic perspective. The chase scenes with vehicles turning small and regular sized, The Wasp’s flight while using shrinking, and the Quantum Realm were delightful to watch. Its crazy that this movie’s visuals were so much better than Black Panther visuals even when work with $38 million less (budget of $162 million compared to $200 million). No other action movie can boast action sequences as unique and fun as in the Ant-Man movies, and it is even better the second time.

After watching the movie, I completely forgot about the generic plot and mostly uninteresting villains because I had a great time. The humor and action sequences along with Paul Rudd’s great starring turn as our hero made this Marvel movie a great watch. Unfortunately, the plot and slow pacing in the beginning of the movie can’t make this movie worth buying on Blu-Ray. However, it is certainly worth spending $12 for a theatre ticket and $2 for RedBox. Since Disney and Netflix have an agreement, it will eventually appear for streaming. When it does, I say make the most of its availability and watch it a few times.

Overall, I would bestow Ant-Man and The Wasp a solid 8.25/10.

I wish they'd refrain from putting too much out there before the movies are released. The chemistry of the characters seems to flow. The after-credits scene helped for those that follow the MCU timeline and wonder where this movie falls in line. For those that missed Infinity War...they're going to be confused. I would have liked to see more of the background of the Ghost. My only issue is I have difficulty with the "suspension of disbelief" with regards to no one realizing that buildings and cars are popping up out of nowhere. Expand

The cast works great together and the story finds its way explaining some things about Quantum Realm's history and introducing new interesting action scenes. Dont worry if at the end you feel like you miss some action sequences from our main hero. I think he's going to deal with bigger things in IW2 next year. The MCU is safe with characters like Ant-Man and The Wasp. Expand

The trouble with sequels is, they have a tough time living up to the standards set by their predecessors. Very few sequels manage to top the expectations of the audience, and Ant-Man and the Wasp definitely isn't one of them.

Peyton Reed was with Upright Citizens Brigade improv, I believe. The BIG~tiny gags in the first film are expanded and improved on here. More similar to the free quality of Thor Ragnarok than to serious, tense, Dr. Strange or Avengers. Having grown up with the comics, this air of improv and freedom is more in line with the the best of the Marvel movies and comics. Leave the serious Wagnerian operas to BatMan. As Todd McCarthy in Hollywood Reporter review mentions, the script could do with more emotional weight and consequence (10%?).

I was simply delighted to see the villain-supervillian chores spread out across several characters, all of who kept me engaged.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ant-Man and the Wasp is another uncommon instance where the sequel does better than its predecessor, in this case much better as with Winter Soldier. The script, directing and action are all big improvements from Ant-Man 1. The issues with awkward dialogue and scene continuity are all but gone in this sequel which makes the movie flow much more smoothly and be a lot more entertaining. The great chemistry between Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly only adds to this, giving the movie the same if not more charm and charisma than the first one had. It’s also nice that the movie gives some context for Hope’s mother that was touched on in the first movie but not explored very much, which it does in its first scene. The opening scene of AMatW is way better than the one of its predecessor and allows the movie to hit the ground running. AMatW is also much funnier than Ant Man 1 because of the better scripting and chemistry of the actors. The villains in this movie aren’t the most convincing ones and don’t pose too much of a threat or raise the stakes terribly high, but that’s a bit of a nice feeling since this movie came out a bit after Infinity War did. That is the best part about AMatW: it’s a nice palate cleanser for fans coming off the heels of Infinity War and gives us something (appropriately) smaller scale to feast on. Overall, AMatW is a breath of fresh air for Marvel fans, a big step up from its predecessor and a solid and entertaining entry in the MCU. Expand

Pros: Good action sequences. Good dialogue. Every one puts their all into acting their character. Cons: A film in need of an actual 'Villain'. Ant-man had Yelow Jacket. This film needed 'Something'. Pacing. At no time, even with count downs and timers ticking over in the back ground, did anything feel critical or essential that an action be done 'Now'. The delivery of some of the jokes... enough misses that it becomes obvious. Possibly too much 'Jokey-ness' in the supporting cast. Ant-man is NOT and should never be 'Dead Pool Light'.

The chemistry between Evangeline Lily and Paul Rudd is ok but not just there yet for me .
Don't even attempt to try to figure out the science of this film as it is silly even by comic sci-fi standards.
Worth a few watches though .
It fits into the Marvel Universe seamlessly. Stay to the very end of the credits.

Le film de Ryan Coogler a su attirer un public friand de super-héros mais aussi les curieux qui voulaient en apprendre plus sur les aventures du prince T’Challa. Le film a cumulé plus de 1,3 milliard de $ au cinéma en 18 semaines d’exploitation, un record. Record battu quelques semaines plus tard avec la sortie du très attendu Avengers: Infinity War, troisième opus de la franchise qui réunissait la quasi-intégralité des héros et vilains déjà apparus dans le MCU. Le film des frères Russo a cumulé plus de 2 milliards de $ en seulement 9 semaines de projection. Après le passages de ces deux mastodontes, quel film aura le courage de pointer le bout de son nez… Ant-Man et la Guêpe.



Après avoir créer la surprise avec une aventure drôle et émouvante, Scott Lang est donc de retour au cinéma dans un second opus qui aura la lourde tache de clôturer un année de films Marvel. Le film prend place deux ans après les événements de Captain America: Civil War et l’arrestation de Scott en Allemagne. Voulant profiter de sa fille Cassie, notre héros a demandé de purger sa peine en étant assigné à résidence. Trois jours avant sa libération et le début de sa mise à l’épreuve, il est kidnappé par Hank Pym et sa fille Hope devenus fugitifs après la signature des accords de Sokovie. Ils lui demandent son aide pour retrouver Janet, femme de Hank et mère de Hope, coincée dans le plan quantique et qui semble avec une connexion particulière avec Scott depuis que celui-ci ait visité le-dit plan pour venir à bout de Yellow Jacket dans le premier opus. S’en suit une course contre la montre entre un trafiquant de technologie et un mystérieux personnage surnommé Ghost pouvant entrer en phase et traverser la matière. (On arrête là pour l’histoire pour ne pas vous spoiler !)

Ce second volet a été une très bonne surprise notamment grâce à l’humour en deux tons (à la fois adulte et enfantin) mais aussi avec des personnages attachants. Le film met l’accent sur Captain America: Civil War de façon judicieuse car les événements d’Infinity War n’ont pas encore eu lieu. Peyton Reed a préféré travailler le personnage et faire un film à part entier sauvant ainsi l’intrigue du quatrième Avengers et de Captain Marvel. Un personnage alors que l’affiche annonce une coéquipière, me direz vous ? Alors non, Scott n’est pas seul et il est loin de l’être tellement Evangeline Lilly est excellente dans le rôle de la Guêpe. Elle est tellement charismatique que par moment elle éclipse notre bonne vieille fourmi. Le duo marche à merveille et donne lieu à de sympathiques dialogues et scènes hilarantes entre les deux ex-amants. Visuellement plaisant, certains fans de SF et de fantastiques verront quelques hommages à de grands classiques comme L’Aventure Intérieure de Joe Dante ou encore Le Voyage fantastique de Richard Fleischer. D’autres y verront et laisseront une petite larme en hommage à Mimi la fourmi de Chérie, j’ai rétréci les gosses de Joe Johnston.



Ant-Man et la Guêpe n’a pas à rougir face à un Black Panther ou un Avengers: Infinity War ravageur, le titre est frais et avec une bonne dose d’humour. Les effets visuels sont de toute beauté mis à part quelques scènes de courses-poursuites qui sentent la « fin de budget ». Les scènes de combat sont impressionnantes et très bien millimétrés avec des affrontements d’anthologies entre Ant-Man, La Guêpe et Ghost. Une Ghost touchante incarnée par la talentueuse Hannah John-Kamen que l’on a pu voir dans l’excellent Ready Player One et le mitigé mais sympathique Tomb Raider en début d’année. Chaque personnage a son importance, mis à part Maggie et Paxton qui font seulement quelques apparitions. C’est avec un grand plaisir que l’on retrouve aussi Michelle Pfeiffer dans un film de super-héros 26 ans après le Batman Returns de Tim Burton où elle incarnait la féline Catwoman. En bref, une bonne surprise, un très bon moment de passé et un Scott Lang toujours aussi sympathique et attachant. On en veut encore plus et il va falloir s’armer de patience pour découvrir le prochain film, Captain Marvel attendu pour le 6 mars 2019 dans nos contrées.

By the way, Marvel still hasn't fixed their major release date flaw with the first Ant-Man film by releasing directly right after an Avengers film (in that case, Age of Ultron). It's often the reason why the Ant-Man films often make less money at the box office. Expand

But luckily,Ant-Man And The Wasp not only surpasses the first one in basically everything (even the music),but manages to be a delirious time at the movies while still being a Marvel movie that follows the MCU's Path,with an ending that will destroy everyone feeling-wise.
Now,when I said it surpasses the first movie,it DOES improve everything and anything. (Like when you notice some errors in a Videogame Beta and the creators actually listen instead of downgrading everything) The Comedy has gotten a bit more creative (and funny) and it's impressive to look at. Oh,and of course Luis (played by Michael Peña) stole the show. Same thing for the Action (especially if you see this in IMAX 3D). As someone who has never seen the first one in 3D,this may be some of the best 3D I've seen in my life. Not only that,but the story has gotten a bit more fluid,whereas in the first Ant-Man it was a good time with a (kind of) disjointed story. The villain has also been improved. Instead of a dude in a much more powerful suit,we have a femme fatale who can “walk through walls and stuff” while having an interesting moral at the same time (like Killmonger).
Overall...wow… this must be really boring to not see any flaws in a Marvel movie (kind of, there's one I can't get into because Spoilers,although I can say it's about the Timeline),but at the same time,it must be surprising. The movie was a blast in the end and,for curiosity,as a sequel,makes it for one of Marvel’s more creative franchises that the studio should be proud of.

The Whole premise is Janet Van Dym Hank Pym's wife is trying to get saved from the Quantam while AntMan is underhouse arrest.The story was simple enough and built
Around it which is why it was so good.The first act was a tad slow but not boring is it set up where the characters are and had some fun action especially with the introduction of the Wasp.The second act was a kind of boring with the pace diping and nothing exciting happening.The third act picked up the pace and the chunk of the action was in the last 30 minutes so that was my favorite part.The villain or antagonist of the movie Ghost wasn't bad but not really that interesting she has a reason to be there but didn't add anything significant with the plot expect for fancy powers which made for good effects.Michael Douglas' performance amd Pual Rudd were the best characters in the movie as they were serious when needed to be and funny when needed to be.The Wasp as I said was cool with as a good enough performance from lilly.Michelle Pfeiffer did well in the role she was given and had good chemistry in the scenes she had with Michael Douglas.
Antman and the Wasp was funnier than the first one but of course its Marvel but It had some out of place humor that took away from the serious moments but of course again its Marvel.This had more action as well but mainly in the last 40 minutes or so because as I said the second act was mostly slow and kind of dragged on.
So what to take away from all of this is that Antman and the wasp is similar to Back to the Future its funny,has a story with a heart and just a plain fun blockbuster.

Paul Rudd was just as charismatic as he always is, and Evangeline Lilly as the Wasp was more of a true partner then a side character this time around. I enjoyed both newcomers, Laurence Fishburne and Hannah John-Kaman. They both good performances, though I felt like their screen time was too short to really develop their characters. All in all, I would recommend this film to fans of the marvel universe or simply fans of the first Ant-Man. You do not need to see all the other marvel films to enjoy this, but it does help to see the 1st Ant-Man and Captain America Civil war. Expand

He still has the suit and everything, but his days are primarily spent entertaining his daughter and helping Luis with their security company. Eventually, he has a vision of Dr. Pym's wife and he calls him, which results in Hope (the Wasp) knocking him out and bringing him to their lab because they want to rescue Mrs. Pym from the quantum realm. He then eventually gets back into the Ant-Man suit and that's where the film really kicks off. I found the story of this film to be completely and utterly okay. I was entertained. However, I think that this is one of the weakest Marvel stories that has been portrayed on the big screen since perhaps the first Ant-Man. Take Paul Rudd's humor out (which I really do enjoy) and this story is frankly kind of....meh. Our heroes spend a fairly large portion of the film trying to obtain a part of technology necessary to their mission, and then finding a spot to set up the lab and complete the mission, but the villain gives them some trouble along the way. The villain, while somewhat relatable, is once again weak and the other "bad guy" portrayed by Walton Goggins is about as cookie cutter as it gets. There's never really a sense of danger. The villains seem more like annoyances that the heroes have to deal with, and it's always known that they will complete their mission by the end of the story. I can respect that this film does seem fairly self-contained apart from the after-credits scene that ties it in to Avengers: Infinity War, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's just an okay story. Characters: I do really like the character of Scott Lang. His humor is very wholesome and genuine, and he is one of the more relatable heroes in the current MCU. Hope is also a solid partner for him both on missions as the Wasp and otherwise. Also, while a lot of people seem to really like Luis (Michael Pena), I can't stand him. I find him entirely unfunny, and every time he took control of a scene I was just waiting for him to be off screen. Overall: I had a good time watching Ant-Man and the Wasp. It provided what I have come to expect from Marvel films: entertainment. Is it fairly typical? Yeah. Will it go down as one of my favorite Marvel films? Nah. Expand

Acharam o tom perfeito aqui

Lembro de ter quase dormido no primeiro filme, pois ele estranhamente parecia "carregado". Aqui, a dinâmica ocorre de uma maneira bem diferente. O humor é bem dosado, surpreendendo quando pensamos em levar a serio e em momentos cringe - como de costume. As cenas de ação tem uma criatividade satisfatória, se mesclando muito bem com o humor visual, como o Scott montando num caminhão e o usando de patinete. Como eu disse acima, a dinâmica do grande e pequeno foi muito bem aproveitada.

É claro que o filme não se leva a serio, mas a reação da mãe ao ser resgatada me pareceu fora da realidade até mesmo pra um filme como esse. Fora alguns Deus ex Machina inexplicáveis. Porém, como o filme me divertiu muito, mesmo assistindo pela segunda vez, devo dizer que minha atenção para com esses "erros" não passaram de detalhes. Eu me diverti muito e é isso que importa.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 8
Acting: 9
Plot: 8

After being absent from Avengers: Infinity War, Ant Man returns for his own sequel movie and this time he is not alone. Joining him for the sequel is the first female superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to have her own name in the movie title (albeit sharing with Ant Man) is none other than the Wasp.

Two years after the events of Captain America: Civil War, Scott Lang/Ant Man (Rudd) is currently under house (as mentioned in Avengers: Infinity War) for helping the fugitive and war criminal, Captain America, in Germany. Meanwhile, Hope van Dyne (Lilly) have taken the mantle of Wasp and she along with her father, Dr. Hank Pym, built a tunnel to Quantum Realm to rescue Janet van Dyne who is the wife of Hank, mother of Hope and the original Wasp.

While under house arrest, Lang receives an apparent strange message from Janet, who he is quantumly entangled with. Despite only days left before his house arrest is lifted, Lang contacted Hank about the message and Hope recruited him for help to rescue her mother. Unknown to them, a mysterious villain named Ghost (John-Kamen), who has the power of phasing through objects get involved with them as she is seeking something to cure her unstable condition affected by quantum energy.

Compared to the first Ant Man movie, this sequel managed to the keep movie fun and totally enjoyable as the first one. What I really like about the movie is the humour portrayed in this movie especially from Michael Peña, who retained his sense of humour from the first movie. Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly have done a great job in their performance especially Lilly who successfully lived up to her role as the main lead character.

The movie is more light-hearted and heart-warming than Avengers: Infinity War, considering what happened at the end of that movie. Like always in a Marvel movie, you know the drill about the mid-credits and post-credits scenes.

I found the plot to be better structured. Very funny throughout. Yeah, it might not have had quite the emotional gravitas as some previous Marvel films, but it was nice to see them doing something light and breezy that just entertains. However, I do admit that the film is a little longer than it needed to be, what with large portions of the plot just being action and gags.

Cast and characters remain great. (But who doesn't like Paul Rudd?) New characters here are equally fun. They really solved the muddled villain problem from the last film. This one includes two solid villains, one humorous and one sympathetic.

The film looks great, very colorful. All the shrinking, Ghost's phasing, and quantum realm effects really make this look like a comic book film. It was refreshing to see them still be creative with all the shrinking.

Especially after Infinity War, it's nice to have a fun, lightweight film the family can enjoy.

Being the first Marvel film to follow on from Infinity War was always going to have big shoes to fill, but I feel that Ant-Man and the Wasp not only did that but shrunk them down and wore them proudly.

Being the first Marvel film to follow on from Infinity War was always going to have big shoes to fill, but I feel that Ant-Man and the Wasp not only did that but shrunk them down and wore them proudly.

Tonally it is obviously bounds apart from Infinity War. The Ant-Man films seem to be setting an atmosphere for things happening on the small scale. Also so never really taking itself too seriously, you tend to really start falling for the characters. There wasn't a single character I disliked during the films run time. Even the villains had a great level of charm to them that just made them that much more likable. With the budget behind it, Marvel have crafted a visually satisfying. The flow during action pieces from shrinking low, to hitting it big is on point. Having watched it twice now I was worried on the second watch through that it would drag in certain points, but the film just has such a good sense of pace, that it seemed to actually go by quicker on the second viewing.

There are some plot holes, but that's not necessarily to do with the film, but the MCU as a whole and the timeline it's running on. Not really a spoiler but the film is set during the events of Infinity War, so it does make you raise an eye brow as to why Scott wasn't with the Avengers. My verdict, if you're looking for a fun and entertaining family film then Ant-Man and the Wasp has hit pretty much every nail on the head. If you're looking for something as hard hitting as Infinity War, then sadly I think you'll have to give this one a miss and just wait for Infinity War Part 2.

It feels more like a side-quest and/or spin-off film, at least compared to other solo movies from; 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' (2014) to 'Black Panther' (2018). The movie very much takes place after the events of 'Captain America: Civil War' (2016) where Scott Lang (a very likeable and charming Paul Rudd) is under house arrest, with an ankle bracelet provided by the government so they can keep a close eye on him. He tries to be a good father to his daughter, but his actions in Berlin, where he helped "The Captain" break more than 100 laws can make living a quiet life, not that quiet. Meanwhile, Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and his daughter, Hope (Evangeline Lily) are speculating about creating a piece of technology to safely transport them to the Quantum Realm, where they are hoping to find Hope's mother, Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer), after she shrunk herself almost 30 years ago, and was presumed dead. But, they are not giving up. To keep it short, this is mostly a fun superhero flick. It is definitely the perfect "antidote" for MCU fans after 'Avengers: Infinity War' (2018) being too "dour", "depressing" and just "dark". This will - without a doubt - put a smile on your face, and you can sit back and relax and just watch the crazy action scenes involving a lot of surprising creativity with people and objects growing and shrinking. Lily taking on the mantle of The Wasp and teaming up with Scott's Ant-Man definitely works, Rudd and Lily's chemistry adds a lot to this film. The action, especially one chase scene, is exhilarating and a joy to watch. The biggest downside to this film is its villains (yes, there's more than one). Considering we had Killmonger in 'Black Panther' (2018) and the great Thanos in 'Avengers: Infinity War' (2018), Marvel was stepping up their villain game, something they had trouble with in the past. The villains here are rather forgettable. One of them, in particular, seems unnecessary to the entire story, but what can you do?

All in all, this is Marvel, once again, going back to their fun roots. 'Black Panther' (2018) took things too seriously, and 'Avengers: Infinity War' (2018) set us on a dark path. The creative action, and the humor-filled chemistry between Rudd and Lily will definitely make this one worth-watching.
