Review of Ant-Man and the Wasp Full Movie

Review of Ant-Man and the Wasp Full Movie: Peyton Reed's vision may differ (or may not) from Edgar Wright's original conception, but giving the already familiar Marvel-treatment, mixing lighthearted and effective comedy along the innovative action, Ant-Man grows compellingly pleasant enough for almost everyone, thanks to a charming cast selection and a mostly-exciting heist tone, and while it feels smaller (pun intended) from other MCU entries, Michael Douglas and Paul Rudd's presence compensates enough.

The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios' "Ant-Man." Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

"Ant-Man" is something I've watched twice now and still haven't written a review for. While I thought it was really funny the first time, my impressions weren't that high overall. Now after watching it a second time, I can say it didn't get any better. If anything, it actually got worse.

My main problem with this film is its story-telling. This film is a prime example of lazy, awful story-telling that sacrifices narrative plot and emotional moments for humor and quick editing. Granted, this is nearly a 2-hour film and you can tell it was shaved down so that they could fit more showings into the cinemas. But this film is filled with extremely lazy sequences of dialogue and exposition that tells us what's going on. It's not interesting at all! If you don't believe my word, watch this film and count how often the characters are telling us what's going to happen next or what has already happened. 

Even with that, the visuals were stunning. This is a visually impressive and awesome film. With a concept that deals with scope and size, it was a lot of fun when Ant-Man shrunk down beyond visible sight. It's awesome to see him run around in these worlds that are everyday things for us but are so much larger in retrospect. Him, along with his trusty sidekick bugs, go on cool missions and it's really fun to see it from a smaller point of view.

Paul Rudd, especially for Marvel's formula, is a great lead. Paul Rudd has a lot of charm and he's a hilarious dude. He's never failed to make me laugh and he's really got a likable charm to his persona. I think he's a great addition to the Marvel Universe and he's such a scene stealer whenever he's on screen. 

In the end, "Ant-Man" is a fun film. However, it's a terribly told story and it lacks in every single area except for its visuals. It's something that really bugged me the second time I watched this film and for that, I've really got to knock it down a peg.

Ant-Man is a pretty well-balanced action movie with some great performances. However, it definitely suffers from a few things. Namely, the villain is yet again a copy of the hero like we've seen many times before and the CGI is sometimes not excellent (especially on the ants). Ant-Man is a pretty funny movie, it has a lot of the Marvel humor in it but it doesn't feel like it's too much. The performances are excellent and I liked the cameo by Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie). Ant-Man is a pretty solid entry in the MCU but definitely not perfect.

They did great! I think everyone had their doubts about this one. And understandably so, I would say, especially after the Edgar Wright thing. Michael Pena was very funny as a supporting character. I thought all of the actors did very well. The villain was pretty typical, but besides that everyone was great. I loved the ways that it tied in with the current Marvel Universe. I would definitely watch a sequel of this although, I think its best to leave it as it is and just use the characters in other Marvel films. This film definitely exceeded my expectations. I would buy this movie.
