Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) in Movies

Ants!!!!!

Ant-Man and The Wasp- was a really great movie. It had action, comedy, ants, ants and more ants. I heard that some people thought that this movie was pointless and just a lead up to endgame, that this movie should of came out before infinity war. But thats not true, this movie was a excellent setup to endgame and that it would make sense that this movie would come out after infinty war. This movie is not pointless, it has a purpose.

The plot: Scott Lang is grappling with the consequences of his choices as both a superhero and a father. Approached by Hope van Dyne and Dr. Hank Pym, Lang must once again don the Ant-Man suit and fight alongside the Wasp. The urgent mission soon leads to secret revelations from the past as the dynamic duo finds itself in an epic battle against a powerful new enemy.

If you have watched and liked the first one, than you will like this one as well.

Kudos

Sam Mendes World War One epic, which follows - in virtually one long tracking shot - two British soldiers sent on a mission across No Mans Land and enemy territory to deliver a message to stop their comrades (including one of the soldiers older brother) from walking into a trap.

Undeniably beautifully shot, showing the true horrors of the war - this does, however, require a serious amount of buy-in from the viewer: just why would a British General send only tow soldiers to deliver such an important message (especially against the clock), when it could have been delivered far quicker, easier and safer by the Royal Flying Corp??

Putting that aside for the moment, the only other recent movie I can think of that even attempts to show the trenches during World War One is 2017's 'Wonder Woman'. Remember the stand-out scene where Diana charges heroically across No Mans Land, under fire from the Germans the entire way? This is nothing like that.
