This was a weird movie. The plot was unremarkable. It wasn't particularly high stakes, though it was meant to be personal, so that's ok... but even the bad guy who was just a bad guy was a bit of a pushover... like nobody cares about this Joe Schmo. it's all about sex goddess who just wants to NOT FREAKING DIE I mean that's perfectly understandable.

The first half of the movie didn't really catch me, but in the second half, I was just... mind off and enjoying it? Very much a character driven movie... Paul Rudd, as himself, is a solid lead again. Good actor, great at doing shit, still interesting that the MCU is like Iron Man and Hulk and Paul Rudd but I digress...

Paul Rudd's daughter was great. Really fun character. His ex and her bf were really good too! Lots of good support here. Luis was hit or miss but the other two workers were really good.

Hank is... baddad Hank, but oh well. Hope was just amazing, beautiful, badass, FINALLY they get a woman lead in a Marvel movie and man if Iron Man 2 is any indication, way way way better of an idea than a Black Widow movie would have been. CSI guy was cool too.

And yeah Ghost is just freaking amazing, top notch, I hope she's in Endgame because if she still has her powers (probably doesn't?) but that'd be pretty useful!

Overall... like, it wasn't a tremendous film, but I greatly enjoyed it. Hope is probably my favorite MCU lady but Ghost is just super cool as well. Damn.

Possibly the most forgettable Marvel movie. Its either this or Spiderman 2.

Ant-Man continues to hold that solid ground in the MCU. The movies are relatively decent, but at no point is this the movie you are going to write home about or be amazed by. Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly are both great. The movie has a wild sequence of size shifting and is generally fun. It just doesn't advance much in the universe or goes beyond the solid level ever.

The cast really makes this movie better than it should be. From the returning characters to Ghost and Foster. I really liked what they did with Ghost, she was very interesting and showed off how seriously strong that power can be. I'm also fine with them swapping the characters gender as the Antman movies are all about fathers and daughters so it just fit perfectly. The last third of the movie really does not live up to the start and the humor isn't as strong but its still a good movie.

Fun story, watching Ant-Man and his daughter interact made me extremely jealous because I wanted a daughter in addition to my son. His little girl is so cute! Well, as luck would have it (or I guess the lack of pulling out), my wife was pregnant with my daughter! I didnt do it on purpose and it was a huge surprise when she told me, but yay! Oh and yeah, the movie is good too. More heists, more ants, and even a wasp! Good stuff.

It is certainly understandable that they would want to put out a low-stakes light-hearted movie after the Infinity War cliffhanger, but it was a little too muddled and convoluted to resonate with people. Which is a shame because its still a pretty fun little movie in and of itself. The Ant-Man supporting cast is one of if not the most likable in the entire MCU (young Cassie steals every scene she is in in both movies), and Ghost was a compelling character until her entire conflict got handwaved away by quantum magic. My biggest problem with the movie is that, despite the title, there was no action scene where the two of them actually fought side by side except for like a fifteen second skirmish with Ghost at the end. Felt like a missed opportunity.
It may be the case that the majority of people who saw this movie only really went to see what the post-credits scene would be, but I for one am glad it is getting a sequel. Even if the ideas in this movie werent necessarily fully developed, they still have an opportunity to get some good stuff done next time.
