In Hollywood, it's all about size. Big budgets, oversized shots, box office openings boffo. And in this world, there may be nothing bigger than Marvel's cinematic universe. If Avengers: Infinity War proved anything, it was that the MCU had won its place. It would be logical, then, that the last installment – Ant-Man and the Wasp – would seek to tie his wagon to his stars in good faith. This is not the case and it is not necessary. He has, to borrow the last mini-meme of the Internet, BDE.
Before entering this story, or other size jokes, a few points of clarity. Ant-Man and the Wasp unfolds at about the same time as Infinity War . Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) briefly mentioned in this film that Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) would sit the battle with Thanos, and in his self-contained film we find out why: His ride in Germany in Captain America: Civil War put him in violation of the Sokovia Accords, which forced him to be under house arrest in the Bay Area. While the other Avengers were fighting Thanos in the galaxy and in the Wakanda fields, Ant-Man was stuck at home. The way in which its history approaches the greatest MCU is not even really revealed until the post-generic scene (very good, but terrible to spoil) is a return to the world. Time when all Marvel movies moments titillated the huge team ahead.
And really, that's exactly what a film Ant-Man needs. Frankly, that's what the MCU needs. After a few movies where the fate of the entire universe hung in the balance- War of the Infinite Black Panther Thor: Ragnarok -Marvel needed a cleanser for the palate, a movie that was not all or nothing. And while director Peyton Reed's film destroys some San Francisco tourist destinations, no country has been decimated, and no planet is hit. Hela, the goddess of death, is nowhere to be found. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) are trying to save Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), their wife and mother respectively, from the quantum field. This is a Post-It Note reminder of an adventure.
And it's a fantastic moment. The installation: Scott is a few days away from his house arrest when he dreams of Janet Van Dyne, a quantum entanglement that provides the key his family needs to get it out after being stuck there for 30 years. (An unanswered question: where do you eat / sleep in the quantum realm, which basically looks like a bottomless hot tent at Coachella?) But, as always, getting out Janet is not that simple – d & # As much as they're trying to do it while a gangster, played by a wonderfully maniacal Walton Goggins, and a mysterious new villain called Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) compete for control of Pym's lab and of all the technology in the interior.

This kind of & # 39; well constructed story not only avoids the problems of & # 39; Other recent films Marvel had to do too much, but also gives the film the time to breathe, develop characters and build worlds, without having to focus on a whole new location and a collection of heroes every 10 minutes. All that is to say, this allows Evangeline Lilly's Wasp to grow and steal the show. Ant-Man can get the best billing, but Hope is the driving force of the action. (I mean, literally, she hits the streets of San Francisco like Steve McQueen in Bullitt .) Not only does she get the best fight scenes, she also offers a good share of one-liners, which It's not an easy task in a film that reported Luis Peña's Luis for a grand larceny scene. And when it comes to building the world, the following Ant-Man plunges even further into the quantum realm, showing his many wrinkles and rainbows reminiscent of how Dr. Strange builds his different mystical domains. This is also, in the eye of scientific super nerds, tardigrades, the microscopic "water bears" that look like khakis bugs.
Then there is the question of Ant-Man and Wasp wide, which, wisely, simply focuses on Scott Lang's attempt to help Hank and Hope, while not getting caught for violating his parole. It's effective, and it feels like a turn of events that could take place in the allotted time. Marvel films have always had strange spans: they are mbadive events of global (or galactic) importance that often begin and end in less than a week. It's hard to say since the sun never sets in space, but I think the mbadive fights of Infinity War ended in about 48 hours of time real. Ant-Man and Wasp completes his full bow into a smooth, giving or taking 36, with a comfortably digestible two-hour race time. And that's all the time he needs – in duration as in story – to launch his plot and catch Scott and Hope with all the Avengers, chronologically speaking. Everything you need in a tiny time capsule.
Really, greed and wickedness are the greatest gift of Ant-Man and Wasp . After a few movies full of punches at will, Reed's film is a necessary digestive, all the joys of a Marvel film are reduced to a quick capture that crosses the Infinity War ] fog . Yes, it's all part of Marvel's design. The studio knew that he needed a break between this movie and the Captain Marvel of next year. But that does not mean that Ant-Man and the Wasp, with all their ease and banter, should not stroll and have a little fun. The gain is huge – even if the film is not.
