Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

erbcwrite Doesn't have the same fun heist feel as the original, but consider this: 1. More Cassie 2. Academic rivalries turned subplot 3. More Michael Peña narration scenes 4. Evangeline Lilly buff & hot 5. Paul Rudd good dad 6. Michael Douglas better dad now 7. Janet Van Dyne!!!!!! 8. Still some amount of ants 9. Continued good use of the interesting action scene possibilities granted by the Pym particles 10. Michelle Pfeiffer 11. Maybe not the best developed plot, but you're at a Marvel movie. You're not here for a holeless plot. You saw Thanos destroy half the life in the universe in the name of resource management. You're here for ants, and they're here for you. Have some fun while you're at it. 12. I'm never driving in San Francisco, ever Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

jakebirkel This being the nine billionth MCU installment, we knew we were going to get an upbeat and good blockbuster movie. But this was also well done and unlike the last several installments, was classic MCU. It was refreshing.The performances were good. Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lily ooze charisma and their chemistry is incomparable. Michael Douglas remains funny while serious as he is and Laurence Fishbourne plays off him quite well. I can't remember Ghost's actress' name, but she did manage to bring some humanity to a bad guy and made the character sympathetic, which I appreciated. The standout was the kid that played Ant-Man's daughter. Her giddiness was unmatchable and enjoyable.The writing was nothing special, which I would normally have a problem with, but it'll be understood why I don't this time around soon. It was a simple tale and does indeed have some of the best timed comedy in the MCU.Peyton Reed loves to play with size and maneuverability. It shows (and works!). The direction makes this film so much fun. 'Nuff said.What deserves praise in this film is the visual design. Not only the shrinking and the way that size is played with, but the way certain places are visually constructed.Classic MCU, Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) is bright and well done. 8/10

CinemaClown A much welcome breather after the heavyweight that was Avengers: Infinity War, the 20th instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is another lighthearted ride unfolding on the same minuscule scale as Ant-Man, and though not as impressive as Marvel's best works, it still delivers a fine dose of fun, amusing & action-packed entertainment.Set in the aftermath of Captain America: Civil War, the story of Ant-Man and the Wasp finds Scott Lang under house arrest and Dr. Hank Pym & Hope van Dyne in hiding until an urgent mission brings them together once again as the trio try to unlock the secrets of quantum realm before it's too late, while being pursued by both cops & new enemies.Directed by Peyton Reed, the sequel offers him more freedom & bigger canvas to showcase his vision & creativity yet he fails to makes the most of the opportunity and delivers a story that's pretty much on same level as its predecessor. Its action scenes do get an upgrade but the plot is quite simple and is missing the character complexity that drives most sequels.On the plus side, the film retains the humour of the original while the continuous banter & brisk pacing make sure that its 118 mins runtime never become a chore. The swift, kinetic operation of camera infuses an energy to its moments of action on both macro & micro levels while the bright colour tones add a rich texture that makes its images pop out. And Christophe Beck's splendid score adds its very own flavours to the mix.Coming to the performances, Ant-Man and the Wasp benefits from Paul Rudd's natural charisma but it's Evangeline Lilly who steals the show this time in the role of Hope/Wasp. The chemistry between the two still carries a spark but purely on individual inputs, Lilly outshines Rudd by a significant margin. Both Michael Peña & Michael Douglas are more fun in their respective roles this time around but the new characters aren't any good.On an overall scale, Ant-Man and the Wasp makes for a sufficiently entertaining action-adventure and is at its best when it isn't trying too hard. A standalone entry for the most part that eventually connects with the heavy conclusion of Infinity War in a shocking mid-credits sequence, Ant-Man and the Wasp does enough to allow the viewers to settle down before things get hot & heavy once again in the grand finale that surfaces next year.

ianwhitworth Not good, not bad. Your kids will love it. I thought it was mediocre cash grab. Adds nothing to the mcu.
