Reviews & comments
Vulture
pressThe payoffs aren't plot points but the gags, which somehow defuse the tension without turning the picture into camp.
Variety
pressAnt-Man and the Wasp has a pleasingly breakneck, now-you-see-it-now-you-don't surreal glee. It's a cunningly swift and delightful comedy of scale.
Vanity Fair
pressIt seems pretty nice. Would that we could wrestle the rest of the world down to that same agreeable scale.
Total Film
pressA blast of pure popcorn fun, and something of a palate cleanser after the weightier likes of Black Panther and Infinity War.
Rolling Stone
pressThe thrill of the film is watching Ant-Man and the Wasp team up and raise hell together.
New Zealand Herald
pressA welcome return to a more grounded superhero movie that positively overflows with charm and wit.
Los Angeles Times
pressYou might wish the whole movie had found a way to go quantum; you'll certainly long for more Pfeiffer, who has too few scenes but invests each of them with her usual luminosity.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThis latest entry in the unstoppable Marvel Studios takeover of the world is probably the most amusing film the company has made since the Kevin Feige reign began a decade ago.
Empire Magazine
pressThere's no getting away from the fact that Ant-Man And The Wasp, as fun as it is, lacks the sheer, mind-blowing heft of Infinity War... In this new era of Marvel over-achievement, it really does feel like a lesser work.
I hadn't seen the first Ant-man, but I'd heard wondrous things about this movie. In a nutshell; it was funny, entertaining and Paul Rudd is still hot. I would even see it again, something I rarely say about many movies.
Paul Rudd and Michael Pena's wit almost elevates Ant-Man and the Wasp to the heights of its predecessor. The dialogue could do with a bit of tightening as it often lurches into mediocre territory. Giving Evangeline Lily a more prominent part is a win for sure though. Overall the movie is enjoyable and charming in its own way but the inevitable comparisons...
