Ross (3284 KP) rated Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) in Movies
Aug 3, 2018 (Updated Aug 3, 2018)
This keeps the feel of Ant-Man (a daft, capable hero with technology allowing him to become more than he is), but expands on that while keeping Michael Pena's character at peak hilarity. It doesn't feel like Ant-Man 2, it is a definite Wasp movie as she is (rightly) given a lot more of the limelight.
Ant-Man does become something of a laughing stock in the film, mainly due to comedic mishaps with his suit, but he still proves himself to be a capable hero.
Numerous references to Captain America: Civil War, which helped make it more inclusive of the overall MCU and pre-credits scene which alludes to Infinity War (Part 1).
NB - the post-credits scene is not worth the wait at all.
