    REVIEW: Ant-Man and the Wasp is the best grandma ever

    By Matthew Martin
    | July 6, 2018
    Movie Reviews

    Can we designate Ant-Man as the official post-Avengers palate cleanser?

    Three years ago, Avengers: Age of Ultron was a heavy, lengthy movie that teased the break-up of the team and dealt with some weighty stuff. Ant-Man came out a few months later and reminded us what Marvel movies typically are; light and breezy, fun and funny. Here we are three years later and Infinity War makes Age of Ultron look like Sesame Street. It’s two months later and though the dust has settled, the shock of the ending has not subsided. It arguably cast a pall over the rest of May, ushering in a slightly subdued box office for Deadpool 2 and a crippling of Solo.

    Ant-Man and the Wasp had the important task that previously fell on its predecessor, to remind Marvel fans that it’s not all doom and gloom. Fun can be had and Ant-Man is the perfect guy (and Wasp the perfect woman) to carry that torch.

    Fortunately, like the original, the movie nails its role.

    Ant Man Wasp Poster

    Unlike Thor, whose humor is derived from his own aloofness, and unlike Iron Man, with his sardonic personality, Ant-Man’s Scott Lang is a funny man who knows he’s a funny man, doesn’t brush his humor off as being cool (because he knows he’s not cool) but uses it instead as a tension-defuser. Because unlike Thor and Iron Man, Scott Lang knows he’s no remarkable hero. He’s a screw-up, and though you can point to many examples where Thor and Iron Man have screwed up (sometimes with hugely disastrous consequences), it feels different when they do it. It’s probably because those guys project such tremendous confidence and charisma, they spellbound you into thinking they’ve got things under control even while they’re in the middle of putting out a fire they started moments earlier.

    Scott Lang does not project such confidence.

    The movie knows this too and they make a virtue out of it, building its entire story around the fact that Ant-Man can’t go five feet without tripping over his shoelaces. You can quibble that the movie goes a bit overboard with the “Scott’s a screw-up” concept, especially after he was reasonably successful in Civil War, but I will handwave it on account that the movie’s heart is in the right place; if it wasn’t part of a story they were trying to tell I’d wag my finger at it and call it a continuity error, but I appreciate that there’s a theme to this story. The first Ant-Man was a heist film, Ant-Man and the Wasp is a film about teamwork.

    —LIGHT SPOILERS—

    Ant Man Wasp Paul Rudd Evangeline Lilly 3

    Ant-Man and the Wasp is not a direct sequel to the first Ant-Man; it’s a pick-up where Civil War left off. At the end of the first movie, everything is happy and wonderful. Ant-Man is established as a new hero, he’s got a purpose in life, he’s got a girlfriend. It was a very phase-one sort of movie. In Civil War, you’re given no indication that anything is askew. Captain America needs help, Ant-Man does his thing, gets caught but it’s okay because Cap broke them out in the end. Scott gets a passing mention in Infinity War that he took a deal with the Feds but that’s it; there’s no hint of anything dramatic there.

    Turns out, there is: Scott’s actions in Civil War resulted in his being estranged by Hank Pym and his daughter Hope. Scott is on a very restricted and closely monitored house arrest, and though he’s trying to make the best of it, the frustrations with his isolation are obvious. When he finally does reconnect with Hank and Hope they’re less than enthused to see him and mostly berate him for being a screw-up who forced them to be on the run from the government (guilt by association). Still, they need his help, he needs theirs and the movie’s theme of teamwork comes into focus.

    Funnily enough, the movie’s plot plays out more like a superhero romcom than anything else. Think about it: Screw-up guy is given one more chance with girl he let get away, promises he won’t screw up again, screws up again, then has to work double-time to make everything right to win her back. That’s a romcom. That’s Ant-Man and the Wasp.

    It’s not the weightiest movie. It’s not super serious or dramatic. It’s a breezy two hours. It’s just what we need after *snap.*

    —(SPOILER-FILLED) STRAY THOUGHTS—

    Ant Man Wasp Hannah John Kamen Ava Ghost

    • The original movie introduced becoming an “ant” man, Civil War gave us a “giant” man. I didn’t expect there to be a third option but then we discovered “kid-sized” man. Watching Scott run around like a hobbit, leaping into the van, while Hank Pym says “hey champ, how was school?”…I’m laughing right now just thinking about it.
    • As someone whose first movie-crush was Catwoman from Batman Returns, watching Paul Rudd channel Michelle Pfieffer might have been the most oddly-arousing thing I have ever seen.
    • Every “funny” Marvel movie has one scene that steals the show and leaves the audience in stitches; for my audience, it was the Truth Serum scene. I’m just glad they brought back the “Michael Peña tells a story” gag from the first movie.
    • I really thought they were telegraphing a Giant Man vs Goliath fight, especially after they revealed Dr. Foster was helping Ghost. It didn’t happen and I’m satisfied with the direction they took things, but still, I was ready for that fight. Maybe we get something similar in the next sequel.
    • Speaking of, Ghost ended up a surprisingly strong villain with a solid motivation. The trailers presented her as just a one-note “bad guy with a better suit” but instead they made her “power” a weakness that she exploits. Really clever.
    • Very underplayed but very effective Stan Lee cameo.
    • Do we talk about that mid-credits scene? Holy cow what an eerie shot that was, seeing the extended Ant-Man family dusted. I expected Hank and Janet to go, but not Hope. A quick mention of time-travel seems to be the biggest Avengers 4 teaser the movie offered. We’ll see.
    •  It was probably a big nothing burger to 99% of the audience, but seeing Hank Pym suit up and “go on a mission” was a real treat for my eleven-year-old son; Hank Pym’s Ant-Man is his favorite superhero ever and he had the biggest grin on his face just watching Hank in the Quantum Realm.

    —END SPOILERS—

    Gif Thor Piss Off Ghost

    9/10 – A light, funny romp about a guy who talks to ants and who can grow 50ft tall is just what I needed after the somber ending to Infinity War.

    It wasn’t epic. The fate of the world was not at stake. It was light mayo but it was great for what it was: Lots of fun. Recommended for fans.

    It’s Marvel; what more do you need? See it.

    I think there is too much hugging of Scott’s wife’s new partner, one is enough for the whole movie. I will feel awkward if I was in Scott’s position. As for the story, I think they made a good outcome having saved Mrs. Pym.

    That’s a solid score. I’ll use my spare time to see the first movie and catch up with this one in the theater. I don’t disagree with your comments; being a hero is equal to saving the whole world from some crazy cosmic power these days. Having a hero who focuses on the smaller things may bring the fresh air that we don’t know we need.

    I will score the 7/10. I may be expecting a lot out of it, but I’m just not a fan of Ant-Man. The Wasp made more of the action scenes than Ant-Man and it seems to me that he did not improve on his martial arts skill.

    I skipped off the spoilers as I’m planning to watch this during weekdays. I don’t like watching it with too much crowd. The review made me want to see the movie clips of Thor and Iron Man’s screw ups.

    Same. We’re waiting a bit for heading to the theater. At least this one sounds a little different than the others. Ant-man is usually pretty funny, so I’m looking forward to that.

    My enthusiasm got the best of me because the movie didn’t reach the bar I set for it. It wasn’t bad because I like the rescue of Pym’s wife. It wasn’t that good for me because Scott did not improve on his fighting skills.

    It did seem like your expectations got in the way of the experience. Without knowing what kind of story I should expect, I had fun with the two movies. The sequel worked better than the previous one as everyone found their personal style and went all out. Simple, light, but it hits the tone right.

    Do you think we will get a third movie?

    I won’t be expecting a 3rd movie. I don’t know how and where they will go for the third one as Mrs. Pym has been rescued already. However, I would expect a crossover movie with Spiderman. A spider catching insects, that will be a good one.

    I’m not sure if Marvel is willing to play with the latest Spider-Man’s timeline to accommodate such crossover, but it’s a fun idea worth trying!

    Did you see the mid-credits scene? If they show us something like that but have no plan of continuing, they are really bad.

    Marvel really knows how to create a mid-credits scene to keep us waiting for the next release. They seem confident about making a sequel. It’s just that they seem to have a fixed plan for the MCU, and I don’t know if Ant-Man is vital enough for the conclusion.
