Ant-Man and the Wasp

Ant-Man and the Wasp is a vast improvement on “Ant-Man” (2015) — and one of the most entertaining releases from Marvel Studios.

It’s funny how little things, like personality, can lift a movie. Ant-Man and the Wasp features kinetic action sequences, but what makes it zing is that Mr. Reed has figured out how to sustain the movie’s intimacy and its playfulness, even when bodies and cars go flying.

Felt like it was missing something. Something fun. Something small.

While Ant-Man's technically “the star,” this is most definitely the Wasp’s movie to own, and the smirking, enjoyably no-nonsense role fits Lilly well.

Ant-Man and the Wasp may never achieve that level of surrealist humor, but as a series of amusing quips and inventive setpieces, the rest of the Marvel family could learn a thing or two from the scrappy small-scale of their tiniest colleague.

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.

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.

Ant-Man and the Wasp is a movie I have mixed feelings about. It's fun, but also frustrating and it looks like a TV show at times. The characters from the previous movie are great, Ant-Man is one of my favourite MCU characters. Bill is layered and complicated, he is my favourite out of the new ones. The others are not necessarily one dimensional, but simple. It was a little bit frustrating, that there were 3 groups of antagonists. Ava was given reasoning, but she makes some very stupid decisions throughout the movie. The theme of talking instead of fighting is back again. The story is predictable and doesn't always make sense. The dialogues are also mixed. This film still has the first one's fun (Luis), but there are also terrible pieces of dialogue too. The post-credit scenes are great, the first one is exciting, while the second one is funny. The cinematography and lighting is weird. This film looks more like a TV show and I disliked it very much. The visual effects are still impressive, but not always as great as before. The pacing is great, my interest and excitement was kept up throughout the whole journey. The cast is awesome. I loved to see both Walton Goggins and Laurence Fishbourne. Ant-Man and the Wasp is not as good as it's predecessor, but still has its fun and excitement.

Don't get the love for this. The characters are lame and the story is incredibly boring.

This entire movie feels like a direct to DVD sequel to Ant-Man. Boring, forgettable with a few small exhales through the nose.
