It's all the buzz: Ant-man and the wasp deliver a sting with a touch of honey
I’m not a big fan of all the Marvel films, for me, they’re usually too heavy on the action, to little on the story, but that’s NOT the case with Ant-Man and The Wasp. As our story begins, Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man, aka Scott Lang is supposed to be under house arrest after his misadventure with the Avengers, but duty calls just as he’s about to become a free man and he risks it all, for the world and for the woman he loves. The woman in question is Hope Van Dyne. She's a whip-smart, hard working, high-kicking scientist, aka The Wasp. Lang is a former thief turned super-hero, so, once again, the woman has to work three times as hard just to get second billing.
After being exposed due to Scott's involvement with Captain America and his Civil War, Hope and her father, Dr. Hank Pym, have had to go underground. They're wanted by the feds and it seems there are several bad guys who want to get their hands on the technology that allows the team to shrink and expand people and objects in a nanosecond, plus there’s another dimension to the story. The Quantum realm. It's where the team believes Hope's long-lost mother has been living for decades, and it's the only hope for a young science experiment gone wrong. She's called The Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen.)
The trailers promoting the movie rely heavily on the action to draw audiences in, but the script co-written by Paul Rudd, Chris McKenna. Erik Summers and others is what will keep them in their seats. It’s funny and sweet, with some great one-liners, Evangeline Lilly is tough and funny as The Wasp, Michael Douglas manages to wheeze some life into Dr. Pym and Michael Pena’s Luis takes it all in with the naivete usually reserved for children. At 2 hours and 5 minutes, this movie really is a marvel. It’s not over long, yet leaves the audience looking forward to the next adventure.
