Ant-Man and The Wasp

“InfinityWar” was such an intense entry in the Marvel catalogue that I found Ant-Man and the Wasp a refreshing change.  Don’t get me wrong, this movie has everything you expect  to find in a Marvel movie; such as nonstop acton, interesting villians, back stories and special effects. This movie, however, felt a little smaller and more intimate and I loved that!  The script is very witty and Paul Rudd knows how to deliver the laughs.  Also, there is some true chemistry between his character and Evangeline Lily as The Wasp.  Walter Goggins is excellent as the very human villian, and Hannah John-Kamen is the mysterious “Ghost,” both of them wanting to steal the secrets of the quantum realm but for different reasons.  Michael Douglas is back as Hank Pym, who wants to journey into that quantum realm, where it is just possible his wife (Michelle Pfieffer) who disappeared 30 years ago may still be alive. Don’t worry too much about the plot, the real treat in this movie is the clever special effects. Various peoople (and cars) grow and shrink making for hilarious circumstances.  I know I don’t have to tell you this, but stay until the end of the credits; there are actually two scenes, one in the middle of the credits and one at the end.  Both of them will give you a little hint as to what will be happening in the next Avenger movie.  If you are looking for a super hero movie with a sweet romance, witty dialogue and a gigantic Hello Kitty Pez dispenser, this is the movie for you!
