Current Events > Finally saw Ant-Man & The Wasp (spoilers?)

(+) Yeah! (+)

I thought it was kind of weak actually. It had some funny moments but didn't care for Ghost or Lawrence Fishburne's involvement. The whole thing with Hope's mom (the original Wasp) gaining powers from being in the Quantum Realm seemed REALLY corny. (And look she can magically heal Ghost just like that!)

The best part of the movie was the first credits scene where Hank, Hope & mom get dusted due to The Snap. Did they ever explain why Ant-Man was going BACK into the Quantum Realm to begin with?

That was the mood whiplash moment of the year for me. I saw it coming, and was still gagged. The whole movie was so much more lighthearted than IW. It was supposed be, since we're getting people's spirits up after that downer of a movie.

Only for the last moments to remind you once again that everyone is dead now.

It's really not the different from Iron Man's smarts, Dr Strange's magic, Black Panther's vibranium doing whatever the plot needs it to.

To get some Quantum Realm air to further heal Ghost and probably use it to better humanity. It is implied that the Quantum Realm and its powers will be a huge plot point in the next Avengers movie. I'm predicting it's gonna be the anti-Thanos myself.

I liked it well enough. Middle of the road MCU movie for me. But I think they need to can that director. His style is very bland. Ant-man should be much more interesting than what we've been getting. You can do a lot with shrinking shenanigans.

The action scenes were pretty lit, though.

I get it's a deus ex machina type thing. But at least I know that Tony is a genius, Dr. Strange took the time to learn his magic and spells, Wakanda harvests vibranium....There was no build up to Old Wasp having those powers. Just her saying "being here...it's changed me..." and a simple touch does the trick. If that's the case, why isn't SHE out there assisting Captain Marvel lol

i enjoyed it. but the quantum realm "threats" are a joke now. he can just blue disc his way out like before. no weight to the credits scenes because of that.

would it be possible to selectively shrink/enlarge certain body parts?

felt like Ant-Man was watered down for this movie or they kept going back to the "oh noes my suit doesn't work!" for reasons to put him in danger and not be OP'd.

Who says they are powers? Ghost absorbs Quantum Energy and Janet just gave her some of her's to help with her pain.

Because she's dust? And there was enough build up of 'quantum realm does stuff' in the form of her connection/possession with Scott.

They had to water him down to make Wasp look strong.

Ghost felt like an unnecessary villain.

girl playing her was also way too pretty to take seriously as a bad guy.

after really liking ant man i thought it was kinda underwhelming. basically agree totally with the OP
