Paul Rudd returns as ex-convict Scott Lang (aka, Ant-Man). Scott is serving a sentence at home wearing an electronic ankle bracelet. Scott has a strange dream and contacts his former associates, Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and his daughter, Hope (Evangeline Lilly). Pym believes his missing wife of 30 years, Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer), is communicating through Scott. She’s stuck in the Quantum Void. Pym has a plan to rescue his wife, but his plan is disrupted by another quantum casualty, Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), and a group of gangsters who want the quantum technology. Plenty of micro and macro special effects power this funny and involving movie. If you’re looking for something better than the average super-hero movie, give Ant-Man and The Wasp a try. GRADE: A-
I thought the first Ant Man movie was watchable but forgettable. This one sounds better, and Jackie has it on her list.
Jeff, yesterday’s WALL STREET JOURNAL review of ANT-MAN AND THE WASP liked the humor and storyline of this sequel. We did, too.
Your explanation left me completely confused. This one has been getting poor reviews, yours is the highest I’ve seen.
Rick, I sent you a review from the WALL STREET JOURNAL that shows why I graded ANT-MAN AND THE WASP “A-.”
Thanks. I still don’t think it is one I will see.
Rick, ANT-MAN AND THE WASP is silly Summer fun. Pure popcorn movie!
