Ant-man and the Wasp


Three years ago, we were introduced to Ant-man, the misunderstood criminal named Scott Lang seeking to amend his ways.  He's on house arrest now (thanks to his antics in Civil War), but his services are needed again.  Hank Pym, who realizes his wife may be alive in the quantum zone after going 'sub-atomic' 30 years ago, needs Lang's help . . . Scott must again to choose between obeying the law and doing what's right.

Like its predecessor, Ant-man and the Wasp is funny, lighthearted, and heartwarming in places.  It's not perfect- it has several morally gray characters, which I normally enjoy, but here it slows down the story and makes antagonist identification difficult (you're not always sure who you're rooting for or against).  But the humor outweighs the flaws, making this an enjoyable and refreshing experience (especially after the darkness of Infinity War).

Rating: B+
