How are ratings calculated?
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness.
At first I thought it was just ok and a little disappointing because of the anticlimactic ending. The bad guy ends up turning good. Sorta. And the ghost suit is just dumb. It's like they didn't know what to do and ripped it from a video game. BUT I can watch this movie over and over and it's still entertaining. Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly and Michael Pena really make this movie work. The others are good but those 3 are the winning combo. The original was good too. The least popular Marvel hero is one of the most entertaining.

My headline is not original, as many reviewers have noted that this next MCU entry is a nice repose (riposa) from the heavy weight we all felt after the last Avengers movie. But, if it were just that, it would feel like a the cinematic equivalent of a pallete cleanser - that is, the in-between food that gets us ready for the next major course in the meal. Ant Man and the Wasp is anything but. Featuring an even more developed main character, ably played by Paul Rudd, and a typically great surrounding cast, this second Ant-Man feature develops its own Mini-MCU by having the eponymous micro hero involved in a significant quest of his own, to save the life of his mentor's wife, and love-interest's Mother. No spoilers here, but getting to see the lovely Michelle Pfieffer in anything these days is a treat, in and of itself. As much as she and Michael Douglas have aged, the film places them in age-appropriate settings while not taking for granted their acting skills or considerable visual appeal. Great stuff, all around, highlighted by the inimitable Michael Pena, who I just love. Even after the disastrous, "CHIPs". And that is saying something.

Like: The family and I were laughing out loud at several parts. It's very tongue in cheek and doesn't take itself too seriously. Like how they tied what's going on in this movie with what's going on in the rest of the Marvel extended universe. And then you've got Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfiefer . . . two awesome actors doing what they do. I also really liked the Ghost character. I enjoyed that she was a deep and interesting character.
Dislike: OK, I got it that the ants are a big part of the movie . . . but really, do we have to have the ant playing the drum set, and sitting on the couch watching TV? And you mean to tell me that the ants are smart enough to build the quantum realm tunnel reactor thingy ?!? No fingers / thumbs, etc. and they're screwing in parts and such. I can sort of suspend my disbelief for a bit with the whole shrinking and enlarging thing . . . but the ants were just too much.
And why does the lead FBI character have to be such an ignorant baffoon? Again, just silly and pointless.

Marvel/Disney has been stingy with the 3D movies in the past couple of years. I've had to go to the UK to get Region Free 3D versions of my favorite Marvel/Disney movies. I wanted to get Antman & the Wasp in 3D through UK when I found it was only available in "Region 2" format. It's like they are *forcing* the market to move away from 3D. Not cool!

I saw this in the movies with my 19 year old daughter who has seen the first Ant Man movie and also watched the Captain America movies and Infinity Wars. My 10 year old daughter, my mom and myself also saw the movie but none of us had seen the first Ant Man. To tell you the truth I wasn't expecting much, I really didn't know anything about Ant Man and just thought it wouldn't be good. I really liked Spider Man the Homecoming and have seen previous Batman movies and some of the Captain America movies but just didn't think Ant Man would be good. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, I really liked the movie and it kept my 10 year old daughter's attention throughout the entire movie and my mom even thought it was a really good movie and she isn't really into the super hero movies. I didn't feel lost watching it, even though I didn't see the first Ant Man and it actually made me want to see the first one, which I still haven't yet but I do intend to. It was really a good show and I am glad we saw it in the movies.

You can sum up this recent addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with just one word: “fun”. “Ant Man and The Wasp” is a fast paced superhero flick that never takes itself too seriously. We find Scott Lang the former petty thief who previously stole Dr. Hank Pym’s hi-tech suit which allows the wearer to shrink or enlarge in size now under house arrest after his misadventures two years prior with the Avengers. Scott is working hard to be a great stay at home dad to his precocious young daughter. Soon enough he is drawn back into heroics by Pym and his daughter Hope Van Dyne in an effort to rescue Hank’s wife from the quantum zone where she’s been trapped since 1987. Naturally things get very complicated very quickly and viewers are treated to a non-stop action packed ride with plenty of laughs thrown in.
For those who want to dismiss Marvel productions as mindless comic book movies I say ask yourselves why they attract the talent that they do (besides the money)? Look at the cast assembled here; Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Walton Goggins, Michael Pena, and Laurence Fishburne- not what you’d expect for a silly superhero movie. Goggins is always terrific (he’s been impressive since “The Shield” and “Justified”) and Pena steals about every scene he’s in and is hilarious. Also noteworthy in small roles are Tip “T.I.” Harris and David Dastmalchian as Dave and Curt, two nitwits on Lang’s X-Con Security Company crew. They don’t log much camera time but make the most of every minute of what they do get and are extremely funny.
“Ant Man and The Wasp” is a highly entertaining movie that you’ll want to watch again just to catch all the jokes and enjoy the great performances from the cast. It’s not going to change your life and it lacks the gravitas of “The Avengers: Infinity War” but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a worthy addition to your Marvel DVD collection at home. Watch until the very end of the credits for a significant Infinity War tie-in. I’m looking forward to seeing Ant Man and The Wasp a new adventure soon. My only gripe is like many other releases these days is that the DVD comes with absolutely no special features and you are forced to purchase the Blu-ray or 4K version to get them. Ignore the haters and their largely incoherent 2-star reviews.

Scott Lang alias Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) begibt sich gemeinsam mit Hank Pym (Michael Douglas, "Falling Down", "The Game") und dessen Tochter Hope ('The Wasp', Evangeline Lilly, TV-Serie "Lost") auf die Suche nach der im Quantum-Mikrokosmos verloren gegangenen Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer, "Frankie & Johnny", "Tage wie dieser"). Die hierfür benötigte Technologie erregt jedoch auch die Aufmerksamkeit des Gangsters Sonny Burch (Walton Goggins, TV-Serie "Six") und der geheimnisvollen Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen, "Ready Player One", "Tomb Raider").

Schloss der erste Teil von "Ant-Man" die zweite Phase des Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) ab, so ist dessen Fortsetzung inmitten der dritten platziert und grenzt in der MCU-Zeitleiste an "Avengers: Infinity War" an. Erneut mit von der Partie ist Erfolgsproduzent und Mastermind Kevin Feige, der als einer der Hauptverantwortlichen die bislang 20 veröffentlichten Filme der Marvel-Studios (eine Tochtergesellschaft von Marvel-Entertainment, Bestandteil der Walt Disney Company) mit einem Einspielergebnis rund 18 Milliarden US-Dollar in nur 18 Jahren zur erfolgreichsten Filmreihe aller Zeiten geformt hat.
Die für etwa 160 Millionen US-Dollar in ihrem Segment gerade einmal durchschnittlich hoch budgetierte Superhelden-Produktion ("Guardians of the Galaxy 2" und "Black Panther" verschlangen rund 200 Mio. Dollar, "Age of Ultron" 250 Mio. und "Avengers: Infinity War" sogar 300 Mio.) setzt dabei - wie auch bereits der erste Teil - verstärkt auf Humor und Situationskomik und erinnert in ihrem Dialogwitz ein wenig an "Spider-Man: Homecoming", für dessen Story sich dasselbe Autorenteam verantwortlich zeigte. Einigen Fans dürfte dies gut gefallen, anderen eventuell etwas weniger.
Die gezeigten Action-Sequenzen und Computereffekte sind fulminant und sowohl die Drehorte, als auch die Settings, die auf Produktions-Designer Shepherd Frankel ("Kill the Boss", "Voll Abgezockt") und Art-Director Jay Pelissier ("Black Panther", "Fast & Furious 8") zurückzuführen sind, überzeugen. Die Besetzung der Figuren ist in Ordnung, allerdings bleiben Michael Douglas als 'Dr. Henry Pym' und Evangeline Lilly in ihrer Darstellung der 'Hope van Dyne' unerwartet eindimensional. Aber der eigentliche Star der Reihe ist ja eh Michael Peña als 'Luis'. Dessen rückblickende Erzählungen sind einfach nur zum Schreien komisch. Das mehrköpfige Autoren-Gespann, zu dem übrigens neben den "Community"- und "American Dad"-Schreiberlingen Chris McKenna und Erik Sommers ("The Lego Batman Movie") auch Hauptdarsteller und Multitalent Paul Rudd gehört, hat mit ihm eine kongeniale Figur erschaffen.
Die Synchronisation, der Soundtrack aus der Feder des erfahrenen, kanadischen Komponisten Christophe Beck ("Die Eiskönigen - völlig unverfroren", "Edge of Tomorrow", "R.I.P.D.", "The Watch - Nachbarn der 3. Art") und die Klangeffekte bewegen sich auf hohem Niveau. Regie führte erneut Komödien-Profi Peyton Reed ("Ant-Man", "Der Ja-Sager", "Trennung mit Hindernissen"). Der gelungene Schnitt wurde von Dan Lebental ("Cowboys & Aliens", "Iron Man", "Thor - The Dark Kingdom") und Craig Wood ("Fluch der Karibik", "Guardians of the Galaxy") übernommen. Unter den Machern des Films befand sich in der Funktion des Executive-Producers wie immer auch die kürzlich verstorbene Marvel-Legende Stan Lee. Der Comic-Autor und Zeichner ließ es sich nicht nehmen, auch diesmal wieder seinen witzigen und kultverdächtigen Fünf-Sekunden-Cameoauftritt hinzulegen, leider einen seiner letzten.

Offenbar wird dem Aussehen von Superhelden viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit zuteil, als man gemeinhin annehmen würde. Wie sonst wäre es zu erklären, dass man für die Produktion von "Ant-Man and the Wasp" sagenhafte sechzehn Hair-Stylisten engagiert hat. Außerdem wurden zusätzlich elf Make-Up-Artists beschäftigt. Aber bei einem High-End-Blockbuster, für den insgesamt weit mehr als zweitausend Mitarbeiter aufgefahren werden, ist das vermutlich kaum verwunderlich. Allein die Abteilung für visuelle Effekte umfasste über 1200 Digitalkünstler, Animatoren und Programmierer.

Das Management des Multimedia-Riesen Sony dürfte sich heute an jedem einzelnen Tag darüber schwarz ärgern, Ende der 90er-Jahre einen Deal mit Marvel-Comics ausgeschlagen zu haben, der dem kurz zuvor aus 'Columbia Pictures', 'Tri-Star Pictures' und der Film-Sparte der 'Coca-Cola Company' hervorgegangenem Unternehmen 'Sony Pictures Entertainment' für 'nur' 25 Millionen Dollar sämtliche Film-Rechte an allen Figuren des Verlages eingeräumt hätte. Das weltweit agierende Major-Studio sah damals fälschlicherweise keine Perspektiven für Superhelden-Filme, was retrospektiv einen der finanziell wohl folgereichsten Irrtümer der Filmgeschichte repräsentiert.
"Ant-Man and the Wasp" spielte an den Kinokassen weit mehr als eine halbe Milliarde Dollar ein (Spitzenreiter: "Avengers: Infinity War" mit über zwei Milliarden Dollar Box-Office) und erntet in erster Linie die Früchte, die das MCU in den letzten Jahren aufgebaut hat. Man merkt, dass das Team hinter der Kamera exzellent eingespielt ist und genau weiß, was es tut. Die Story ist in klassischer 'Save-A-Lost-Person'-Manier zwar etwas dünn geraten, aber das zu Sehende ist trotzdem stimmungsvoll und durchgehend unterhaltsam. Der amüsante Film bietet familiengerechten Humor und ein ansprechendes Tempo, aber in gleichem Atemzug auch etwas wenig Spannung oder Ernsthaftigkeit. Echten 'Thrill' sucht man bei einigen Marvel-Verfilmungen - und eben auch "Ant-Man and the Wasp" - nun mal vergebens. Was man hier gezeigt bekommt, entspricht quietschbuntem und jugendfreiem Popcorn-Kino. Wer sich daran nicht stört und über die eine oder andere Oberflächlichkeit hinwegzusehen bereit ist, kann relativ bedenkenlos zugreifen.
Die Trickaufnahmen sind jedenfalls hervorragend und die meisten Sammler und Gelegenheitskonsumenten dürften sich an den 110 Minuten Kurzweil-Entertainment im 2.39:1-Bildformat erfreuen. Die ausgewiesene Altersfreigabe ab 12 Jahren ist durchaus gerechtfertigt. Hinweis: Interessenten, die das Filmerlebnis gern durch Bonus-Features ergänzen möchten, werden bei der Standard-DVD nicht fündig. Davon einmal abgesehen, sollte man sich unbedingt den kreativ gestalteten Abspann anschauen und nicht zu voreilig abschalten.

A new Marvel comics movie. Sequel to 'Ant Man.' You might have trouble getting into this if you've not seen that. Along with 'Captain America: Civil War'.
And you won't understand one scene if you've not seen 'Avengers: Infinity War.'
Anyone reading this probably has seen all Marvel films anyway, but you never know.
Anyway, this begins with Scott Lang on the straight and narrow, after the end of the aforementioned Captain America film, and determined not to get in trouble with the Feds. But then Hank recruits him for a dangerous mission. That will take him into a whole new world...
This isn't a film with quite the same stakes as some of these. It just acts as a direct sequel to what came before. The villains aren't really the most memorable foes to put it mildly. And one member of the cast is disappointingly underused.
And yet..
Even though I'd read reviews which said that, I found I started enjoying this after a few minutes in. And remained doing so for the remainder of the movie. Because it does have the same fun and humorous tone that the first did, and it manages to keep that going very nicely.
A good bit of fun escapism. No more. No less. So if you want a superhero movie like that, this will suit you fine.
As usual with these films, do keep watching to the very end of the closing credits.
The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:
Languages: English. German. Turkish. English audio described.
Subtitles: English, Danish, Finnish, German, Norwegian, Swedish, Turkish.
The disc goes into the main menu once loaded without ads or trailers, but you do have to wait a few seconds for it to get through the Marvel studios bit.
And as usual with these discs now, it doesn't have any extras whatsoever.

This is unlike any superhero movie yet made.Brilliant,funny,moving and exciting in equal measures.I think it is more of a family comedy with elements of a heist and science fiction movie thrown with some superhero stuff for good measure.Of course there are some very good CGI scenes as you would expect.Paul Rudd is as funny as ever and even Micheal Douglas raises a few laughs and there is a great scene stealing turn from Michael Pena.All in all a very enjoyable movie that even those not enamoured of Marvel could enjoy.I might also say that it was lovely to see Michelle Pfeiffer back in a small but telling role looking as beautiful as ever.The bluray looks great and their are enough extras to satisfy the geek in all of us.
