Reviewer notes
RecommendedNot as good as the first. Hardly any action at all. More comedy this time then anything. It was just an ok movie.
Recommended**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.…
RecommendedAs 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.…
RecommendedA 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.…
RecommendedThe Ant-man and Wasp is simple, silly movie with some redeeming features. It grew on me despite the silly acting and twisting plot that had a few unnecessary scenes. The special effects were pretty good, and I liked most of the combat scenes. They went a little overboard with CGI, which broke through my suspension of disbelief on a few occasions. There were too many characters who played a weak villain.…
RecommendedI 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.…
Recommended“Ant-Man and the Wasp” is a really weird Marvel movie. Like its pint-sized superhero, the film doesn’t quite fit in with the typical MCU big screen canon and is a laid back yet thoroughly forgettable entry into the fatigued superhero genre.…
RecommendedFor fans of the first one, which includes me, Ant-Man and the Wasp is more of what you like. More heisting. More car chases. More Giant Man. More of the three wombats. More humour. More mediocre villains. More romance between Scott and Hope. More family bonding. And of course, more quantum realm. It's fun. It's light hearted. It works. That post credit scene though .... 😲
Not recommendedI did indeed enjoy this movie…somewhat. However I cannot say that I was overly impressed. The story was okay. I would not expect a deep and thought provoking story from a super hero movie nor would I want it. It served as a decent enough vehicle for moving things forward.…
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersActually 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.
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersIt'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.…
