Ant Man and the Wasp

One size fits all!

Scott Lang aka Ant Man (Paul Rudd) is the only hope to save someone from the quantum realm in this action comedy sequel where he continues making bad decisions. Fortunately, this is mostly done in a way that makes him more likable which is great. Also Evangeline Lilly fixed her hair from the first film - yay!

All the actors charisma, humor and those high budget special effects and action sequences are almost enough to hide those niggly plot holes such as "why not just stay shrunk?", "why is [x] still alive then?", "magic hands? what?". The villain is somewhat weak character wise too, but serviceable enough.

What plot holes?

Despite the gloss-over treatment for the above, I really enjoyed this movie. It's also suitable for kiddies since it's pretty light in subject matter (until you hit the mid credit extra scene). Definitely would watch this one again, and give it 3.5 "other-stuffings" out of 5.

Ant-Man

Greatness in small doses!

From the outset this film leans towards being more comedy which doesn't take itself too seriously, than a superhero movie, and that really plays to its favour. The CGI is on the money, and acting wise everyone is pretty solid though Michael Pena is occasionally hard to understand and Evangeline Lilly's hair doesn't suit her (probably fits character though). Corey Stoll is an enjoyable antagonist too.

The well-written story also manages to integrate itself nicely into the Marvel universe and somehow be pretty epic on a small scale, pun intended. All up I can't really think of any negatives to this light-hearted action film and think that it's suitable for a pretty wide array of audiences - probably even those not into superhero flicks. I give ant man four train sets out of five and would definitely watch it again. Go watch it now! :)

Big thumbs up for you, Ant Man!
