Review of Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) by Unreelreviews — 06 Jul 2018

Ant-man and the wasp was a sequel that I was really looking forward mainly because I loved the first ant-man, I thought it stood out compared to most MCU movies and was unique in its own way. So is this film good, yes it is, it's not a great movie but I still do really enjoy this movie. Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly work very well together and both give their best while performing. Michael douglas and Michael Pena are funny and bring some great one liners and that's something I can give a big praise to in this movie, the humour is always on point and doesn't feel forced and misused. The action scenes are fun and exactly what I wanted to see, the gorgeous visuals and well planned use of cgi never make these scenes feel fake or poorly adapted on the screen. Now as I said this movie is good but I had a lot of problems with it, the shows villains are very cliche and follow the same villain routes and plan outs that you would see in a cartoon show. They also try to make the film feel very serious and dark, but it never pulls off, either its because paul rudd lets off a one liner or michael pena starts talking and their is never any real tensity. One of my other big issues was how they treated the character of ant-man. In the first film we see that he is fairly smart, he's no genius but he is smart, but in this film they treat ant-man almost like and idiot and I didn't like that, he's always the one to make a dumb decision, or not do something correctly and that felt a bit off putting for me.

But overall I do suggest go checking this one out, I did enjoy this movie I don't like it quite as much as the first but it is still a blast to watch and I'm sure will please most followers of the MCU.
