Ant-Man and the Wasp
by Peyton Reed
Action, Adventure, Science Fiction
With Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Peña
Released July 18, 2018
During the events of Infinity War Ant-Man was the great absent of the great fight between the Avengers and Thanos … Three months after the departure of many of the superhero team members in dust, we finally know what happened to Scott Lang!
Assigned to residence since his departure for Germany to fight alongside Captain America in Civil War Scott is isolated from the world and has had no contact with Hank Pym and his daughter Hope for almost two years. But the demonstration of Janet Van Dyne, Hank's wife lost in the quantum world for many years, will push him to reconnect with Scott to save it. But a strange character named Ghost will interfere with their plans …
The introduction to Ant-Man and the Wasp is very fast but from the start managed to integrate the viewer into his plot. We find all the characters already met in the first opus: Scott (Paul Rudd), Hank (Michael Douglas), Hope (Evangeline Lilly), the daughter of Scott, Cbadie (Abby Ryder Fortson) and Luis (Michael Peña), his crazy best friend. Janet Van Dyne is quickly adding to this cast, embodied by the always sumptuous and too rare Michelle Pfeiffer! Later in the plot, Laurence Fishburne will come in turn to gratify the public of his presence. The only downside, the actress Hannah John-Kamen, wonderful in Black Mirror but which often plummets here his character from overplay.
To this is added an originality that makes specificity and flavor of the license Ant-Man that it is in the realizable things when Scott puts on his costume that when he is stripped of it. Scott's first appearance on the screen with his daughter Cbadie will be in this sense most valuable, both from the point of view of what they have imagined and their family dynamics. The focus is on the family in this second installment: Hank and Hope want to find Janet, as Scott wants to be relieved of his electronic bracelet to fully enjoy Cbadie. This will bring a "dynamic Ms. Doubtfire " to this second opus.
Level of humor, the recipe is the same. Michael Peña returns with his fanciful monologues and writers once again rely on him to bring lightness to all, sometimes risking overdose. Mainly in the first part, some of his jokes will actually be forced before we see an improvement once the action is well under way. His two acolytes, Dave (Tip 'T.I.' Harris) and Kurt (David Dastmalchian) will be for many in the quality of comic dynamics. The actor David Dastmalchian in particular, who seems to slowly make a career and that can be seen as well in series as MacGyver (his Murdoch is almost one of the only elements savable in this foul series ) or Gotham only in feature films like Prisoners (2013) or Blade Runner 2049 (2017), is almost a no-nonsense humor!
will quote again Stan Lee's hilarious cameo that echoes some excesses during the Sixties or a very funny joke that manifests the awareness of this ridiculous super-heroic convention to hide his secret identity by putting a cap and sunglbades …
But apart from this quite identifiable humor, Ant-Man and the Wasp also has very beautiful visuals, especially in the quantum world, or springs dramatic beautifully mastered. All this gives a light film, pleasant and surprising as the first opus, which subtly manages to cling to the MCU in its post-generic scene, while remaining understandable independently of it.
Moreover, the largest of qualities of Ant-Man is not to seek to compete with Infinity War in terms of show and humbly accept its position in the MCU without aiming for higher bid. This shows the maturity of a universe that has found a cruising speed and no longer specifically seeks to put his eyes on it every time!
