It's fun to see big stuff get real little and little stuff get real big, but _Ant-Man and the Wasp_ suffers the same problems of its predecessor, except this time with an added issue, one that effects many movies (and even more TV shows), the problem of "The entire movie didn't have to happen if people would just have had normal human conversations with one another". _Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

Actually quite good! It's like a less-weird, but more fun version of a Deadpool - in the sense that it is both filled with action but also with fun acting. I recommend it for a Saturday evening. It is quite wholesome.

I have the impression that this movie is not a favorite of the hardcore Marvel community, which makes sense, as I am not part of that community and this is flat out my favorite entry into the Marvel line. In fact, it is the only Marvel film I have recommended my wife watch with me. (She hasn’t taken me up on it yet.) I like the humor from the Scott Lang character and its self-deprecating tendency. Perhaps it would be over the top in a more serious entry like the infinity movies, but it works here. I really enjoy the chemistry between him and his daughter and I even appreciate the Luis character, which apparently separates me from the serious Marvel viewers. It is a fun ride and is not so much fueled by the violence of the other entries in the genre. In fact, the only thing I didn’t like is the bittersweet way this movie is tied into the Infinity universe, regarding Scott (Ant-Man) and his daughter. And since that happens off in a different film altogether, it allows the story within this movie to stand on its own. If the reason you haven’t watched this is because you aren’t into the rest of the Marvel series or are worried about not getting it out of sequence, don’t worry. It stands on its own.

A fine watch, but the novelty and freshness that the first film had has dissipated. I enjoyed <em>'Ant-Man and the Wasp'</em> just about enough. It's the MCU's weakest film, up until this point at least, so far. I rate the 2015 film quite a bit, it's entertaining and something different, but this sequel kinda felt flat to me for the majority. There's marginally enough there to like though. Paul Rudd is satisfactory as the lead, while Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas and Michael Peña remain as solid as before. Michelle Pfeiffer and Laurence Fishburne are cool additions, but I can't say their characters are all that memorable - still passable, mind you. The action is the film's biggest plus. The shrinking stuff always looks good, too. The humour is at a suitable level. Overall, it's an OK watch.

As with the last one...Michael Peña is still the best part of the movie. He's the heart and soul of the Ant-Man movies. Unfortunately this time his stories aren't made with the same hysterical blunt finesse they were in the past. But that doesn't take away from his delivery. And unfortunately that goes with the rest of the movie. It's fun to watch and entertaining, and that is what matters, but the wind was sort of out of the sails here. Blame it on the script, the acting and direction were fine, they just didn't have a lot to work with.

**Ant-Man and the Wasp takes everything that was wonderful about the first film and makes it even better.** The Ant-Man franchise is so delightfully entertaining and lighthearted. Ant-Man and The Wasp takes all the fun and goofiness of the first movie and cranks it up a notch while adding the heartfelt plot of uniting a long-broken family. Paul Rudd’s lovable buffoon and Evangeline Lilly’s serious and driven heroine make a hilarious combination. I found myself laughing so hard that tears were in my eyes multiple times in this movie. Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost is one of the better villains in the MCU due to a clearer and more sympathetic backstory. It’s easy to overlook how excellent the cast is in this movie, but it is a true all-star lineup with Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Walton Goggins joining the already fantastic team from the first film. Ant-Man and the Wasp was a genius follow-up in the MCU timeline - after the severe and sobering Avengers: Infinity War, the franchise needed a laugh. Ant-Man is a fun series that doesn’t take itself too seriously while making the audience really care for its characters. I can’t wait to see what comes next!

Not as good as the first. Hardly any action at all. More comedy this time then anything. It was just an ok movie.
