Age shall not diminish, nor dubious sequels reduce the magic of the Wachowskis' visionary blend of philosophical SF and hyperkinetic martial arts action. Arguably the origin of the current superhero movie, as uncertain hero Neo undergoes the conceptual breakthrough to end all conceptual breakthroughs, learns to access his inner potential, and discovers that black never goes out of fashion.

The script is still a marvel of economy and wit, the ideas underpinning it fascinating, and the action sequences, when they arrive, are phenomenal. Obviously a film of its time (the pseudo-1999 setting now feels a little quaint), but absolutely timeless in the way the very best films are. One of those movies it is almost impossible to change without making it worse.

Ant-Man and the Wasp bring us two years after Ant-Man helped the Avengers and before Infinity War, Scott (Paul Rudd) is now under house arrest and is struggling to start a new business with Luis (Michael Peña) and juggle life as a superhero and loving father.

Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) have a new mission for Scott after he has visions of Hank’s wife, the original Wasp (Michelle Pfeiffer). But on this mission, there is more to just trying to save Hank’s wife, a “Ghost” (Hannah John-Kamen) is also trying to get the technology that Ant-Man and the Wasp are also after, plus the FBI and Sonny Burch (Walton Goggins).

Lots of action scenes (1 more)
Very good SFX
Packs a punch
Well one compliment I can give this is it feels more like a Marvel film. Apart from Aquaman, Wonder Woman many DC offerings have not matched the Marvel level. I can't say I've heard of any of the characters before, don't know much of the comics. This feels like a film where you should have already seen some of the characters in another film.
There is a ton of action scenes and plenty of carnage in a fairly straightforward of good vs evil but this time with a God like character who will use violence against the enemy.
It's a very enjoyable film overall if not anything ground breaking in the superhero collection.
