Ant-Man & The Wasp (2018)
Rated PG-13
Starring Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Pena, Laurence Fishburne, Walton Goggins,
Directed by Peyton Reed
The Story:
Scott Lang (Rudd) is almost complete with his 2 years of house arrest following the events of Captain America: Civil War. With just days to go until freedom, he begins having strange visions of Janet Van Dyne (Pfeiffer) in the Quantum Realm. Naturally, Hank Pym (Douglas) and Hope (Lilly) are trying to rescue her from the Quantum Realm, and they realize they need Scott's help to accomplish the mission. The only downside, they aren't the only ones who want to enter the Quantum Realm.
So I have to ask, did you like Ant-Man?
Because if you did, pretty much everything there was to like about that movie gets ample screen time in the sequel.
We've got another heist to accomplish, and the every man charm of Paul Rudd makes the trip worth taking.
Now if you didn't like Ant-Man, then there's really no point in bothering with the sequel.
Though I've yet to find anyone who seriously didn't enjoy that movie, at least just a little.
The sequel highlights what I think most fans of the MCU have come to realize with this franchse:
Ant-Man has, from top to bottom, the best supporting cast in all of these films.
The film itself takes place over roughly a 48-72 hour span, so there's a breakneck energy to it as Peyton Reed dials up the ability to shrink and grow to effective (and many times, hilarious!) results.
10 years.
20 films.
Everyone has their favorites, and I have a feeling that this one will land in the first half of many fans favorite listing.
Here's to the next 10 years... and the next Ant-Man sequel!
Final Grade: A
