Ant-Man and the Wasp is a very splendid and funny film. It continues the tiny hero's quirky niche in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, focusing more on laughter and remaining quite far away from the darker colors of the other moves in the franchise.
Which also means that Ant-Man tends to lack the kind of substance that can be found in the “Black Panther” or "Captain America" movies, but it does its part in being a mostly humorous and funny movie to take the minds of fans away from the fate of "Avengers: Infinity War" characters. Besides, the story is very straightforward and a little blase regarding the science of getting the character there.
On top of that, there is not just entire about the sequel that is surprising, although the antagonist Hannah John-Kamen in the film, is far more compelling than any of the previous Marvel villains, even if her personality in her awkward introduction to the hero is placed by the wayside for the second half of the film.
Besides, we can see that the heroes have a concrete goal in the sequel. For instance, finding the long lost mother and wife (Janet Van Dyne), in the Quantum Realm. Unlike the previous marvel films. However, when it comes to tracking the villain, finding Janet and getting needed equipment, there is a lot of scientific jargon that gets bandied around.
In the film, mostly Paul Rudd's (Scott Lang), does his best to implant humor into the situation, with Rudd always commenting on his pretend comprehension of the turn of events. But it happens too much in a film that can get bogged down in “science lets us do this, so we'll get where we need to be.” But while the plot isn't all that exceptional, in the Marvel franchise. The sequel stands out from others by providing a clearer understanding of the powers of their heroes and how to use them in a war.
The film relies a bit too much on the fact that the new prototype suit of Ant-Man does not fit properly, but it gives the film an opportunity to play with scale, whether it's a car chase involving a toy car or a small Ant-Man fighting seagulls to get to his destination. Moreover, the ability of the ghost to step through matter and vanish is also a great additional impact on the film, and a smart way for two heroes who can shrink and expand at the push of a button to have a challenging adversary.
In short, I would say Ant-Man and the Wasp is a good movie and it won't leave you speechless. But it's a fun movie with a few laughs and a good call back to the first film's popular gag.
