Ant-Man and the Wasp is the next film to be released in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it has a tough act to follow after Avengers: Infinity War blew the minds of every Marvel fan out there. Apparently though, it’s still pretty good – according to the first reactions. It’s being said that it’s better than the first movie from 2015, which is welcome news.
Here are some of the reactions:
Ant-Man and The Wasp is a lot of fun. At its best when it’s almost an over the top silly comedy, less so when it’s about the comic booky villain driven moments. Some fantastic miniature/maxature action sequences. @realmichaelpena steals the show again.

…Don’t go in expecting to get answers to questions from Infinity War. The movie is mostly a stand alone film, even more so than the first one. That said, you’re stupid if you don’t stay in your seat for the credits, more so than a lot of Marvel films.

The movie has some surprising heart, great action, lots of laughs. If you liked the first film, you will be pleasantly surprised with this sequel.

Ant-Man: A bit more charm than the first and more character work. Everyone seemed to love it. I liked it, but not as much as the first one. Pena is awesome again. Must stay for post credits!

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP is for sure an upgrade from the first film (I didn’t love the first Ant-Man). Lilly’s Wasp has at least the same, or probably more, action scenes than Rudd’s Ant-Man.
Also: Michael Peña has a scene halfway through that brings the house down.

Ant-Man & The Wasp…actually ruled???? I’m shocked. I really really dug it.

They handle Hope really well. Ghost is a SUPER weird take on a villain concept. The whole theme of the movie was wildly tender and sweet. Every time I thought they were about to veer into trope-y cynicism they pulled it back.

I’ll leave you with this: I think this might be the biggest step up in overall quality between a first outing and a sequel the MCU’s ever seen. It feels almost similar to the way the Cap trilogy leveled up between TFA and Winter Soldier. So many lessons learned.

Ant-Man and the Wasp is superfun AND has the most Morrissey content of any superhero movie. recommended for both reasons

#AntManAndTheWasp is cool and all, but the end credit scene is the best part of the whole film and the only thing I can think about right now.

We’re guessing the post-credits scenes have something to do with Avengers 4, but for now, we’re not sure. We’ll know everything once Ant-Man and the Wasp hits theaters on July 5th.
