    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' is lauded for its humor, character dynamics, and inventive action. Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly shine, with their on-screen chemistry and the Quantum Realm's exploration receiving praise. The shrinking and growing tech is visually appealing. However, some critique underdeveloped female characters and flat storytelling. It’s a fun MCU addition, though not on the epic scale of other films.

    Transformica Exroidinaire...

    Scott Lang, is under curfew day and night, for joining with the Cap, in the Avengers Civil War fight, but he's had a weird dream, it's almost like somebody's beamed, a message in his head to shine a light. It results in reconnection with Hank Pym, and his daughter who's now Wasp, called Hope Van Dyne, they're pursued by glitching Ava, though Bill Foster want's to save her, while Sonny Burch leads to, and causes, much chagrin.

    It's not the worst Marvel movie you've come across, as the race is on to recover Janet Van Dyne from the quantum realm, and prevent two competing parties from scuppering their plans. The usual humorous dialogue, scales up and down, and will keep you entertained.

    Very creative and fun

    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.

    Really solid movie

    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!

    *A Smaller World, Bigger Adventure*

    !! Possible Spoilers!!

    *Ant-Man and the Wasp* is a delightful sequel that expands upon the charm and humor of its predecessor. The film seamlessly blends the superhero genre with the heist movie formula, creating a fast-paced and entertaining adventure.

    Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly reprise their roles as Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne, respectively, with their on-screen chemistry adding a layer of warmth and humor to the film. The introduction of Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet Van Dyne, the original Wasp, adds depth to the story and expands the Ant-Man universe.

    The film's exploration of the Quantum Realm is visually stunning, with imaginative creatures and mind-bending landscapes. The action sequences are both thrilling and inventive, utilizing the characters' shrinking and growing abilities in creative ways. The heist elements of the story add a layer of complexity and suspense, keeping the audience engaged.

    The action sequences are inventive and visually appealing. The use of shrinking and growing technology creates a unique and dynamic approach to combat. The film's climax, which involves a high-stakes heist and a battle against the villainous Ghost, is both thrilling and suspenseful. The action sequences are seamlessly integrated with the comedic elements, creating a truly entertaining viewing experience.

    While the film may not have the same epic scale as other Marvel movies, it compensates with its focus on character development and humor. The supporting cast, including Michael Peña's Luis and Michael Douglas' Hank Pym, contribute to the film's overall charm.

    *Ant-Man and the Wasp* is a fun and lighthearted escape from the heavier themes of the MCU. It's a film that celebrates the power of teamwork and the importance of family. The film's ability to balance laughs with action is a key factor in its success.

    Marvel's Back to The Future

    After Avengers: Infinity War I was worried that anything that would come after for Marvel would be underwhelming but I was wrong because AntMan and the wasp used the same formula as the last Ant man movie which was that it was a small story and a family oriented story inside a superhero movie.

    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 Aroundt 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.

    • Trivia
      Paul Rudd really did learn close up magic for this movie. "I really did learn some of the magic. I haven't really kept it up. But then again, trying to learn to be really good at magic in a short amount of time is like trying to learn violin in a short amount of time."
    • Goofs
      (at around 14 mins) When Hope is driving Scott to the lab, their SUV is confronted by pigeons and one of the pigeons pecks a dent in the hood. When the SUV is brought back to full size, the dent is gone.
    • Quotes

      Scott Lang: [shrunk down to a child's size; runs into Pym's car after going undercover in a school]

      Dr. Hank Pym: Hiya, champ, how was school today?

      Scott Lang: Aw, ha ha ha! Alright, get your jokes out now, can you fix the suit?

      Hope van Dyne: So cranky.

      Dr. Hank Pym: You want a juice box and some string cheese?

      Scott Lang: Do you really have that?

    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER: There is a scene in the closing credits: while Scott is in the Quantum Realm, the Pym family gets erased (due to Thanos's efforts in Avengers: Infinity War (2018)), leaving him trapped. This leads into Avengers: Endgame (2019).

      Following this, there is a statement at the end of the closing credits: "Ant-Man and the Wasp will return".
