ANT-MAN AND THE WASP (2018)

Ant-Man and the WaspAs Scott Lang balances being both a Super Hero and a father, Hope van Dyne and Dr Hank Pym present an urgent new mission that finds the Ant-Man fighting alongside The Wasp to uncover secrets from their past.

I got a bit of a buzz out of this movie (did you see what I did there?) but that’s about all. It moves along at a pretty fast pace and relies primarily on clever sight gags with things getting big and small in all sorts of ways. Paul Rudd (Scott Lang/Ant-Man) and Evangeline Lilly (Wasp) obviously have fun but, after a while, it all became a bit ho-hum. The story is really a vehicle for the dazzling effects so don’t expect too much. Nowhere near as good as other superhero movies. It’s a bit of innocuous fun and that’s ok.
