Ant-Man and the Wasp

Just an overal good movie. The story could have been a bit better and the villans were not Thanos-level but it just does the job. I wanted more actually, because the CGI was really good. Also this is one of the funniest mcu movies, so if you want a good laugh I recommend this.

I applaud Paul Rudd and Micheal Douglas, great performance!

If you're a marvel fan this will satisfy you 100% and even if you just want to relax and enjoy this movie with the family, that's cool too.

It's kind off not really tied to the rest of the mcu, just as the first one, only captain America civil war a bit. Make sure u stay for the first post credit scene!

The movie is a lot of entertaiment and it surprised me how most of the screentime is action scenes (Not violent lol) with very funny ideas like the "hotwheels" and laughable comedy, not as other generic marvel jokes, the villain is confusing but it has a tragic story after all, it has his flaws like the physics are nonsense and sometimes the vfx is weak but still a really entertainment film, if you haven´t seen go watch it.

I love what Marvel have done in the creation of their "Universe" it's an overwhelming triumph and despite my fears they managed to slot Antman in there perfectly back in 2015.

A heavily comedic character is was heavy on charm, humour and elevated by a fantastic charm. Truth be told I found myself really hyped for the second movie, more than any other (Except GotG).

With every cast member both big and small returning a fantastic villian and the one and only Laurence Fishburne, the stars were aligning for another fantastic addition to the universe. And it is................kind of.

Regarding the previous films I've enjoyed them all with the exception of two. I didn't see the appeal in Dr Strange and thought that Black Panther was one of the most overrated movies in the history of the industry.

Antman 2 delivers, it does just not to the extent I hoped. Rudd, Lilly and Douglas are excellent once again and the story is fantastic though I think much of the impact of some of the story is highly lacking.

Our new villian delivered more than I'd ever expected, Pfeiffer was a great addition and Pena managed to annoy me less than usual!

The first movie got a solid 7/10 from me and this sequel is recieving the same. What that means is I consider it a good film, it's just not exactly groundbreaking stuff. I feel the movie played it a tad safe and didn't meet its potential.

Regardless it's funny, it's action packed and it's likeable and therefore it's another Marvel success in my book.

The Good:

Incredible cast

Genuine laughs

Fits into the universe well

The Bad:

I still don't like Pena

Some of the impact was lost

Bit generic

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Lilly is a very clever actress who picks her roles well

Someone still needs to explain to me how they do that age regression thing sfx

Walton Goggins has friends in high places

The size shifting has all kinds of bedroom possibilities

Truth serum IS a thing

Having run afoul of the law in his latest adventure as Ant-Man, "Scott Lang" (Paul Rudd) has been confined to house arrest and in order to prevent an even longer sentence from being imposed upon him must stay there while being electronically monitored at all times. However, when his previous mentor "Dr. Hank Pym" (Michael Douglas) requests his assistance to help rescue his wife "Janet Van Dyne" (Michelle Pfeiffer) from the quantum realm, Scott feels obligated to help. Also involved in the rescue operation is Dr. Pym's daughter "Hope Van Dyne" (Evangeline Lilly) who just happens to be a super-hero known as the Wasp. But as difficult as this assignment what none of them realize is that there are two other groups with different agendas who plan on stopping them-and both have various resources at their disposal to accomplish their goals. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an enjoyable "Super-hero movie" which had decent amounts of humor and good special effects to compliment the action. I especially liked the character "Luis" (Michael Pena) who was absolutely hilarious. Be that as it may, while in most cases the sequel to a movie is generally not as good as the original, this one is an exception to the rule and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.

Ant-Man and Wasp was a fun movie. Whereas I didn't see it strongly bolstering the MCU, it didn't harm the MCU at all. I like that they gave Ant-Man a partner (I dare not say sidekick) with similar, yet better abilities.

Now, as for what I wish would've been different/better: the nemesis, Ghost. Ghost has some excellent skills and abilities which I think they (the production team) could've/should've explored more. I mean, the ability to phase in and out almost at will thereby giving the person the ability to pass through solid matter (kinda like Kitty Pride of the X-Men)--that makes for some spectacular fight scenes and other mischief. I'm imagining a fight similar to the opening scene of X-Men 2 when Nightcrawler infiltrated the White House. I know that phasing in and out is different than teleporting but in tight quarters they can be used similarly.

That was my only gripe, which was a small one. Besides wanting more from the bad guy I thought the movie was funny and creative.
