The second Antman is even better than the first, with some really impressive writing. The authors managed to hit the balance between character development, interaction, pure wit and drama just right. While the Avengers movies are at best average and the tv series are just abyssmal, Antman, Deadpool and Dr Strange as well as the most recent Thor movies and Guardians of the Galaxy are, well, marvels. Glad we went to see this one :)… Expand

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.… 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.

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.… Expand

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.… Expand

TheThis movie was a marvelous movie (pun intended) which satisfied not only the eye with it's jaw dropping visuals and amazingly done CGI but also the mind with an intriguing plot that fit in to the current state of the Marvel universe. The actors did an amazing job at delivering the inner and outer conflicts of their characters, and the writing and script let them do so in style and very well executed humor and jokes. The movie itself was almost too entertaining and fun to watch. The directing style let's the viewer know that they had fun not only directing this movie but also playing with it, which radiates of fun and that translates to immersion. The sound effects where amazing to, and done with great care to detail. Either way anyone who says that this movie was not entertaining or fun to watch is lying, and due to this the value of the movie overall grows. Not even to mention the interesting fresh and unforeseeable twist and multiple antagonists. Although there where a couple of plot wholes, which where left uncovered even at the end.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched this movie as a part of my marathon to see all the MCU movies after Infinity War came up. Technically Infinity War was as far as I was going to have my marathon, but by the time I reached that point, this movie had also come out. So I saw this also. It felt a bit out of place considering there were two very heavy movies one after another (Black Panther and Infinity War), because of which it looked like a balloon compared to those anvils. But at the same time it was at least better than Captain Marvel so it gets some browny points from my side.

Ant-Man and the Wasp is a very hilarious movie to say the least. I just love how the Ant-Man series always shows things to look very dramatic when they are tiny but they are actually very miniscule events when it happens in the real size. There are many emotional scenes too, as the premise of this movie is entirely about Scott trying to find the Janet, Hank's wife whom he presumed dead after all these years since they last went on a mission together. The very beginning of the movie itself begins from an emotional scene with little Hope saying her final goodbye to her mother. She is occasionally contacted by a ghost as a part of her dreams, which later turns out to be her mother.

Meanwhile Scott has been put under house arrest for being on Captain America's side in Civil War. So he has to manage looking like he's at home while he's out there saving the day. I really liked how the bad guys literally steal Hank's office by just shrinking it, picking it up and walking away. The bad guys are also comical, especially the Indian one who says "This is not truth serum! There is no such thing as a truth serum!". The comedy scenes in the movie completely outshine the sad scenes, which I can say with a guarantee since I watched this movie 2 years ago and I only remember the good parts of it.

There are of course a couple of things I didn't really like in this movie. First of all, the regular MCU problem - a dozen jump cuts in every fight scene. Why do they have to do this? All the fight scenes would havelooked not just cool, but even iconic if they didn't do that. Secondly even the dire moments get overshadowed by the funny moments when they don't have to be. Like when Hope finally meets Janet there is a joke immediately after. I get the movie is trying to keep the "Ant-Man" touch to it constantly, but this is going too far. And lastly, the post credit scene was so awesome, but it got ruined in Endgame. I know it's not this movie's fault but rather Endgame's fault for doing that, but these movies were planned together so if they knew this would have such an anticlimactic end they shouldn't have done it.

I can absolutely guarantee you that Ant-Man and the Wasp will only leave you with good memories. There is no absolutely bad thing that happens in it, and it manages to retain the humour, cinematography and sotryline that one would expect from a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie.… Expand

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

Sure the villain was a little one dimensional as a character but we cant always have a major threat in every film. Sometimes, they need to be personal.

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.

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."… Expand

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 apartBeing 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.… Expand

L’année a plutôt bien commencée pour les Marvel Studios et Disney, tout d’abord avec Black Panther. 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 aventuresL’année a plutôt bien commencée pour les Marvel Studios et Disney, tout d’abord avec Black Panther. 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.… Expand

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.… Expand

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.… Expand

The first thing I can say is that the fact the story continues on where the first movie while also taking place after theAnt-Man and The Wasp is a great film that while definitely not as good as the first movie, it's still worth a watch. The first thing I can say is that the fact the story continues on where the first movie while also taking place after the events of Captain America: Civil War is a great idea since it puts in stakes for the story while still allowing the story to take place and it's a good story for the most part. The pacing is while not quite as good as the first movie, is still great to ensure you aren't bored throughout the film. The writing is a great balance between utter comedy and serious matters to leave you invested onto your seat at all times even if some of the jokes are not. The CGI and action sequences remain phenomenal and keep you excited on how the fights go on, and no fight is distracting bad overall. The characters remain great and help elevate this film, and the actors on top of them are excellent in terms of acting. Now despite the fact I think this movie is pretty good, it's no better than the first film with some kinda big flaws. Like I said earlier, the jokes are not that funny and leave you annoyed, the villain is fine but in no ways a good Ant-Man villain and the fact that they chose not to let her die but not bring her back makes me question why she couldn't have just ended her time with the MCU right then and there, and one particular moment when I felt nervous on what was going to happen but then they succeeded without showing how they got past it and that felt totally dumb. Overall, while I definitely prefer the first movie over this one, I still enjoyed it overall and I recommend it if you enjoyed the first one and I can't wait to see how they end the trilogy with Quantamania.… Expand

Fairly good.
I liked its predecessor better but I think it's on the same level.

It is one of the few films of secondary characters of the MCU that really made me want to see them more than 2 times.

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

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.

The dialogue was very flat. The comedy fell flat also. I dunno but some of those scene should have been reshot with that dialogue! Evangeline Lilly is hot! Michael Douglas lost his acting chops.

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.… Expand

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

The daughter, played by Abby Ryder, is great and steals every scene she is in. The villains are are ok and one of them is basically useless and could have been taken out of the film entirely. 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
