I watched this with out watching the original or reading the comics, so I didn't that much about the back story or characters. It didn't really matter all that much though, because it doesn't rely to heavily on other stories. The plot isn't overly complicated, and doesn't try to be some 'it's going to be the end of the world if you don't do this in a certain amount of time' movie. At its core, it is about finding and re-connecting with the loves ones you haven't been with in a long, long time. It's sweet, and funny, and a toned down family film. The action scenes are pretty exiting, with things growing and shrinking, and other things disappearing and appearing. It does pale in comparison to other better, more sophisticated marvel movies, due to its familiarity and no long term lasting impact.
The movie is funny. Paul Rudd is hilarious. The plot has no strong 'entanglement' to the last stories. And the surprise at the credits scene was crazy,connecting it to the last Avengers movie. This movie has a strong plot. Really funny and the script to me looked as strong as the first movie in many scenes.
And as i said the last scene in an 'Avengers' style making us expect for sure a third movie to come. The cast was great, Paul Rudd proved again he is the perfect Ant-man, the banter and the wittiness was endless, and the chemistry between him and Evangeline Lilly was on point. I loved Michael Pe?a.
Scott Lang faces the outcome of his choice as a superhero and father of Hope vanDyne and dr. HankPym, Lang had to wear an Ant-Man suit again and fight with Wasp. The quick message leads to the mystery of the past, while a powerful duo is in the epic battle against a powerful new enemy.
Oh my goodness the scene with the Truth serum was just crazy funny. In general all the characters did well. Final thought, there are a lot of weirdly bad reviews, but believe me when i say.
This is way better than the other Avengers sequels have ever been,well maybe not Iron Man 2. But it is up there.
So watch it, not gonna regret it. I had a doubt after watching the first one, but this movie changed my mind. I watched it because I had such an exhausting ride with 'Avengers Infinity War' This movie is so cool and intriguing from the beginning till the end. It is a must watch.
I can't believe Marvels keep pulling it off. I am still not a fan of Black Panther however this one is worth more than Black Panther. This movie is funny and superb in the eye, got so many Wow!
Moments in it. Well made, fantastic work from Marvel.
Rightfully deserved huge success. Thank you for the end Credit scene. It made my waiting for Avengers 4 so worthy. I would rate 8/10 for this movie but additional 2. is for Marvels Production.
Thank you again. This movie by far was BORING with absolutely predictable story line, dull lifeless characters, a lot of drama with little storyline. They assume you have the feels for these characters who you've barely seen on screen, is nothing like the comics, and therefore who you care nothing about. Not really sure why it's 'and wasp' was it because of the subtext of a love story?
It had a few moments of amusement but then you realize how absolutely dumb the comedy was because they repeat the same premise of that joke over and over and over again in the movie. I have insomnia and this movie put me to sleep.
Yet another example of the future of MCU as Disney dulls it down. Waste of time and money I will not be watching if and when they make another one. Having enjoyed a vast majority of Marvel's superhero output (more so than most) without worshipping them, 'Ant-Man' was a minor effort from them but there was still a good amount to like about it. Despite being positively received by critics, 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' as of now has received also heavy criticism from fans and some Marvel non-fans, so was conflicted in seeing it.
'Ant-Man' and its slightly superior follow-up 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' managed to be better than expected. 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' to me was not as great as critics are saying, but it is also nowhere near as bad as people here have said, while sharing a few of their criticisms. Do like the character of Ant-Man. He is not exactly a household name and is always tossed aside in favour of other superhero characters like Spiderman that have had longer longevity and perhaps have more compelling origins and stories, hence why they are adapted more. Also wasn't sure what to make of the trailer, which made the film out to be rather bland in story and too reliant on humour while being very well made, directed and acted with thrilling action and funny and clever moments.
Seeing it for myself, 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' could have been better and has its faults, ones that are somewhat the same as the first 'Ant-Man' and somewhat what was expected from watching the trailer. The script is mostly fine, but has patchy moments, namely the overly-wordy and sometimes over-complicated jargon and inconsistent humour. While the humour mostly works wonders, there are a few instances where it's not so funny and not very well placed.
Such as in emotional scenes that are actually quite poignant and heart-warming (more so generally than 'Ant-Man')and then interrupted by a joke that is not only forced and unfunny but also not belonging in the scene, though more sporadically thankfully than before. The family scenes are a mixed bag, sometimes they are sweet and touching, the chemistry is more believable here, while at other times they're a little flat and predictable, contributing towards a few rare dull stretches in a film that generally is appropriately lighter in tone and faster paced. Like many people here, also found the villains underwhelming. Burch is especially pointless and forgettable and only really there because there seemingly needed to be an obligatory villain when actually there could have been just one. 'Thor Ragnarok' and 'Infinity War' only had one major one, and they, especially Thanos were the best villains in the Marvel canon. Ghost fares a little better and is an improvement over Corey Stoll's under-characterised villain in the first 'Ant-Man', her problem was that her back-story was very rushed and didn't feel developed enough.
Michelle Pfeiffer is wasted in a very underwritten plot-device role. On the other hand, 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' is a great looking film, it's beautifully shot, very atmospheric, is very slick and the special effects, are clever and of the usual high-quality Marvel standards.
The music avoids being over-bearing, one-note, too quirky or too bombastic, fitting well tone, mood and pace-wise. Direction is more than competent, keeping the story going at a solid pace and the telling of it interesting enough, though maybe a little more flavour may have been more welcome. While the action is not as much as most Marvel films, it is fun, thrilling, nicely choreographed and tautly shot and edited, especially towards the end.
The stuff with sizes was clever visually and interested and entertained while the film is better than a lot of sequels in being consistent in the continuity. There is some very smart and hugely entertaining scripting and dialogue here in 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' too. While it doesn't work completely seamlessly, 'Ant-Man and the Wasp's humour when it works is some of the funniest stuff of all Marvel films, and the film doesn't take itself too seriously or too much of a joke either, instead not being afraid to embrace the silliness and humour while ensuring still that the subject matter is treated with respect. The truth serum and the feminine side being brought out parts were hilarious. The story is mostly diverting, it's and the first 'Ant-Man' film are narratively simpler than most Marvel outings and less risks here are taken than most Marvel films but it always makes sense, moments of dullness and jarring are few (while not being completely absent either), it's fun and it doesn't try to do too much or try to insert too many characters.
While not complex as such, the characters are mostly engaging, with the reservations being with the villain and Pfeiffer's character. Paul Rudd is a strong and hugely entertaining lead, while Michael Pe?a's hilarious in a role that could have been really annoying. The seasoned support of a distinguished Michael Douglas adds hugely too, and Evangeline Lilly and Abby Ryder Fortson give the film some much needed heart. Hannah John-Kamon does command the screen and Walton Goggins has an oily presence that is more than what the forgettable and useless character deserved. Overall, not one of Marvel's best and has its flaws but a good sequel and film with many great things. 7/10 Bethany Cox. MCU should make PG cartoons of Avengers instead of integrating over the top humor with MCU.
The word 'toony' and 'cartoony' is describing Star Wars and Marvel movies because of some of the star wars videos from upset fans. Although 'Toony' 'Cartoony' 'Anime-ish' are perfect descriptions for MCU's latest movies. The first Avengers movie was perfect. But the comedy gets worse, pushing jokes beyond Marvel's limits. There's no comic book nostalgia in Ant-Man 2 or the Avengers Infinity war.
I don't recognize any stories from the comic books. The characters are comedians now; they feel like brand new characters. I'm a huge Marvel fan, and pretty much see all of them in the theaters, I was a bit hesitant with this one just because I thought the original Ant-Man was 'just okay.' In the end the 2nd one wasn't memorable, the story was okay, nothing earth shattering or particularly cool. I'm not saying this because the last Avengers blew everything away, I'm rating on this movie on it's own merit My biggest complaints was the humor (which we've come to expect from Marvel movies and usually funny), was just off or not funny at all.
The only humor that kind of worked for me was Luis and his parts, but even that wasn't enough to carry the movie. This movie also failed from the lack of a decent 'bad guy' and again I'm not saying this because of the recent Avengers, but the bad guys or gals in this movie just didn't do anything for me. I didn't like them, I didn't dislike them, I didn't care about them. Overall they were little more than a backdrop and if anything felt slapstick funny, but without the funny. Acting & special effects wise it was okay, but again with a story I didn't really care about or characters I didn't really have much investment in, it was hard for the acting to transcend that and help make me care. Special effects were good, which is 100% expected these days but nothing that blew me away visually.
I guess if you're a huge fan of Ant-Man or the Wasp, then maybe you'll get more out of this than I did. Other than it tying in certain aspects of the Avengers timeline and giving you a bit more understanding of why Ant-Man wasn't present in the Avengers I got very little out of this movie. Even the after credits scene was stupid and felt more just like filler because they had to do it. Sadly a movie like this makes me put into question whether Marvel really wants to put out good movies or just simply put anything out there to make money. Just an overal good movie. The story could have been a bit better and the villans were not Thanos-level but it just does the job.
I wanted more actually, because the CGI was really good. Also this is one of the funniest mcu movies, so if you want a good laugh I recommend this.
I applaud Paul Rudd and Micheal Douglas, great performance! If you're a marvel fan this will satisfy you 100% and even if you just want to relax and enjoy this movie with the family, that's cool too.
It's kind off not really tied to the rest of the mcu, just as the first one, only captain America civil war a bit. Make sure u stay for the first post credit scene!
