Ant-Man and the Wasp

Synopsis

Scott Lang is a father on house arrest, watching the world move on without him. Hope and Hank aren't talking to him since he went and got himself in trouble during Captain America Civil War, but trouble comes calling again when Hope, the Wasp, finds a new adversary.

Review

This is the only Paul Rudd I know. Funny and passionate about what is going on. I love the montage of his daily routine and I am honestly more curious about how he affords that house. It is an awesome house and I really like what he does to transform it to be a place for him to play with Cassie. Their relationship is a defining moment for most of the cast honestly and really makes for a bonding point for everyone.

I have always appreciated the comedy style that Ant-Man brings and this one is just as good. The comedy doesn't override the serious moments, but plays a large part of it. There is no joke that is delivered to early or to late. The timing is great.

The action is ok. I feel there is a lot of just CGI fighting that they didn't think about having the people make contact with each other as they are fighting so there is for sure a lot of obvious misses and people just going to far for a normal punch. The car chase scenes are the the perfect examples of where this becomes a bigger problem and where the jokes become repetitive. They make the car smaller, giving it a whiney noise and then make people lose sight of it. First time, it was cool, 2nd - 7th time, too much.

My Rating

One last thing that I want to talk about and where I am sure either can be explained via Marvel science or was just forgotten is the building and the wheel of cars. I am pretty sure that the mass is supposed to be the same no matter what so how are they carrying around a 200 ton building like a suitcase? I am not sure, but it does pull you out of the movie on the second watch. The first time, it is fun and charming, the second it just feels like too much just like some of the repeating comedy bits. It is this repetition and pulling out of the world that brings this down to a 7. Not quite as good as the first one.

Parental Rating

There is the typical Marvel amount of language. Nothing crazy, nothing out right offensive, but it is persistent. This is again a movie about family and finding the right family with no sex/nudity. I am going to have to say that the comedy might not be what my parents enjoy most of the time, it wouldn't offend their sensibilities and they would watch this. So approved by both.
