Review of Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) by Jack M — 06 Jul 2018
A straightforward plot, laugh-out-load humour and great performances make Ant-Man and the Wasp a superior sequel. Director Peyton Reed ditches the more conventional superhero antics of the mediocre first film, and replaces it with unique action sequences and far more laughs.
While not reaching the level of GOTG or Ragnarok, Ant Man is easily one of the funniest MCU films and provides a much-needed contrast to May's Avengers: Infinity War. Its cast, as always, is stellar with Michael Pena and Evangeline Lily, who is given much more to do with her character this time, as standouts.
As mentioned, the action sequence, particularly a climactic car-chase, are some of the best, and most unique, in the MCU. All of this adds some freshness to the overly familiar superhero formula, something which the first Ant Man failed to do.
Ant-Man and the Wasp finds its own style in the MCU, with quirky action, excellent humour and a likeable cast, delivering a unique and enjoyable Marvel movie.
