Joe Walsh | Aug 2, 2018

"With well-balanced humour, and a heartfelt father/daughter narrative, Ant-Man and The Wasp makes for refreshing viewing after the gasp-inducing drama of Thanos clicking his fingers. Sometimes, focusing on the smaller stories is just better." ... Read full review

Todd McCarthy | Jun 27, 2018

"The result is an effects-laden goofball comedy in which anything goes and nothing matters. Not that this is an entirely plot-free extravaganza or just an excuse for comic riffs. But the filmmakers are so cavalier about the idea that any of this is supposed to make any sense that there's a certain liberation in not burdening two human-brained insects with the fate of the entire universe." ...

It's an improvement on its great predecessor, with more humor, action and drama. The franchise is well past its villain problem with Phase 3 and seeing Scott Lang teaming up with Hope van Dyne brought me so much joy. It's pretty much everything you loved about the first film but more. More depth, more Luis, more change of sizes - and the movie has so much fun with that. It more than lived up to my expectations. The mid credits scene though was quite heartbreaking.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I actually really liked it. However, I think it is a great example of male oppression and toxic meritocracy. Paul Rudd's character is talked down to the whole movie. This supposed inferiority is due to his being labelled a, "criminal," and sentanced to jail time for righting a wrong committed by a former employer. His further, "wrong doing," SPOILER ALERT was going to join the fight in Civil War, without letting his girlfriend know.

While I can see why should would be upset, it doesn't seem worthy of this sort of total rejection of him. For some reason anytime his character does anything anyone questions he is treated as the total failure and f***up, supposedly because of his prior, "criminal," act. However, all of his actions were in essence heroic. He is a clearly loving, engaged, and arguably ethically ideal role model to his daughter, and always makes the right heroic choices in his film. Still he is treated as less-than.

To me it is sad that this sort of treatment goes unquestioned in our society. It seems to reflect the truth that father's are generally treated as comedic relief in pop culture and scapegoats.

While men headline Marvel movies, for the most part they are emblematic of problems that are at least equal to women in fiction if not worse for the fact they go unrecognized. It is sad that often times people laugh at the concept of a Men's Movement or the need to examine gender norms and expectations as applied to men in our country. It is fairly obvious that our culture has a tremendous problem with, "men."… Expand

This movie needed more sets. It felt like 3/4 of the movie took place in Ant Man's home or the Wasp and her father's laboratory. There wasThis movie needed more sets. It felt like 3/4 of the movie took place in Ant Man's home or the Wasp and her father's laboratory. There was also a 'quantum realm' but it was shown for only a few minutes. I like intimate personal stories, especially when super heroes are involved, because too much super hero-ing without knowing the characters gets very dull very fast. However, was there a reason the movie could not have included a broader range of environments? And the two main actors all need a little more spark, an espresso at least, before filming. The movie was strangely low energy, despite all the shrinking and growing and fighting. I can't imagine such a problem if the movie starred, say, Robert Downy Junior and Margot Robbie. Those two have so much personality. But here something - something besides the relatively few sets - was missing. It wasn't the plot, the plot with a full range of sets of bad guys of varying degrees, was well done. But some element of personality and/or energy was lacking. All that said, Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer did their jobs well. Both leads, though, were missing something I can't define. Maybe chemistry between them was lacking. That could be it. They're supposed to be in love but, I didn't feel it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TOO MUCH MAKEUP! really should be a 6. a very nice movie up until the end, when Michael Douglas finds his wife floating around the quantum zone and she, for some reason, has way too much makeup on. an actress with too much ego? made the end very anti climatic. an enjoyable movie, except for the makeup.… Expand

De toute façon, les déjections Marvel se ressemblent toutes, on en a vu une, on les a toutes vues. En tout cas, ici la fourmi a une copine, la guêpe ! ça devient petit et grand à volonté, ça vole, ça court et ça bastonne les méchants... et ça raconte de la merde quantique.

Comme trop souvent chez Marvel ou comme d'habitude en fait, le rythme est mollasson et l'histoire est à la hauteur de ces crétineries de "comics", c'est-à-dire au ras du caniveau. Faut dire que tout ce qu'ils savent faire, c'est des "effets spéciaux"... ça oui, ils se gavent d'effets spéciaux et oublient tout le reste. Même la réalisation à tendance cut (montage saucissonné en français) ne relève pas le niveau !

C'est long, c'est chiant et c'est bête, tellement bête qu'on se demande comment ils font pour écrire des conneries pareilles : ils ont des équipes à plein temps pour ça, je n'en doute pas. "Bzzzzz"... ça c'est le début de l'endormissement, puis viennent les ronflements : un somnifère qui coûte des centaines de millions de dollars ! non, vraiment fallait pas vous donner cette peine ; pour nous, un épisode de Julie Lescaut suffit.… Expand
