Ant Man And The Wasp

Size does matter!

Ant Man And The Wasp Story: Scott Lang, (Paul Rudd as Ant man) the former convict turned ant-riding, size-altering superhero is indebted to help Dr Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and his daughter Hope aka the Wasp (Evangeline Lilly), for what he did to them two years ago. The three must dig into the past to unravel secrets that attract the unsolicited attention of their unusual nemesis.

Ant Man And The Wasp Review: MCU! Just how do they do it? Despite hordes of Marvel films being unleashed on the audience at regular intervals, superhero exhaustion is nowhere in sight. Set after 'Captain America: Civil War' and leading up to the events of ''Avengers: Infinity War','the Ant-man sequel is a thrilling fun ride that engages you emotionally and amuses you with its CGI antics and comic demeanour.

The sequel sees Scott Lang smartly juggling between his fatherhood duties, tackling the FBI and a new superhero mission. Though the shrinking ability of the protagonists is the film’s USP, what lies at the heart of this film is the father-son bond between Casey-Scott and Hank-Hope.

Peyton Reed lets human relationships drive the narrative. Not once does he allow the ‘juicy tech stuff’ to own his film, which is refreshing and perhaps the reason why Marvel films command such a massive fan base across the globe.

Michael Pena’s superb presence and rapid-fire monologue coupled with a rant on truth serum turns out to be the film’s funniest scene. However, what does feel underwhelming are the ‘villains’ or the lack of real ones per se.

Overall, 'Ant-Man' and the Wasp is the Marvel underdog that scores big, replicating the nature of the ongoing Football World Cup. It also explains why Lang didn’t join the Avengers in Infinity War. Watch it!
