Here it is—a movie well done, with characters blending together with amazing chemistry. Everyone in this movie played their part in making it look effortless and easy.

Kudos to Paul Rudd and the ladies for their acting, and to Peyton Reed, who also directed Ant-Man (2015), for delivering a great sequel.
With Lang’s glitching suit, his transformation into a child, skating with a bus, and the numerous comedic moments, this movie serves as a refreshing break between the intense chaos of Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and the hopeful resolution we expect in the next Avengers movie.

This sequel is a lot better than the first Ant-Man (2015). But why do critics call this the funniest Marvel Cinematic Movie? Thor: Ragnarok (2017) is way funnier and even more interesting.

The movie is good, funny, interesting, and definitely worth watching to understand how Ant-Man will play a role in stopping Thanos. Don’t get me wrong—the movie isn’t just good for setting up the fight against Thanos; it stands strong on its own as Disney/Marvel continues to dominate the superhero movie universe.

All the hiccups in the movie could have been avoided if the heroes and potential villains had just worked together to help Ava and Janet. Instead, we had to wait until the end of the movie to see them reluctantly make it work.

Ant-Man and the Wasp is a sequel to Ant-Man (2015) and the 20th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s filled with cool, thrilling scenes and great visual effects.
The movie starts with a brief flashback, then jumps to the present day, where Lang is under house arrest for breaking the rules by helping Captain America in Germany.

Pym and Hope didn’t know about Lang’s involvement and are upset with him. They’re also on the run from the law.
After Lang has a dream about Janet Van Dyne playing hide-and-seek with Hope (with him as Janet), he calls Pym to share the dream. Hope shows up to take him against his will, even though he’s trying not to break his house arrest rules—he’s just two days away from freedom.
Now that Pym and Hope know Janet is alive, they start working on a way to bring her back. The problem? They’re being chased by Burch, a man they’ve been buying parts from illegally, who wants in on the Quantum Realm technology. They’re also pursued by The Ghost/Ava, who needs the lab to stabilize her unstable condition.
All of this happens while Lang is trying to be a good dad and avoid breaking his house arrest.

Cool scenes to look out for: Luis (Michael Peña) steals the show, especially when he gives Burch the lowdown on where to find Lang, Pym, and Hope. Another standout moment is when Janet takes over Lang’s body to help Pym and Hope find her.
The movie is cool, straightforward, and very much worth watching. I can’t wait to see how Ant-Man fits into the upcoming Avengers 4 (2019).
