‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ MOVIE REVIEW: A Sensational Marvel Adventure

A sensational adventure full of wonderful characters, gobsmacking special effects and an excellent cast ensemble.

If a movie is going to skate by on its leads, you could do a lot worse than Rudd & Coogan.

From Aussie-produced horror, to must-see U.S. indies, to South Korean action goodness…

Italian filmmaker Stefano Sollima delivers a strong follow-up to Denis Villeneuve’s 2015 thriller.

Falls a little short from recapturing the first film’s magic, but there’s no denying how much there is to like here.

The two leads elevate this two-hour rumination on life’s impermanence.

Aims to unsettle, and does so almost relentlessly for a bit over two hours.

Tropes and over-familiarity hold it firmly back, despite a few heart-warming moments and some solid performances.

The strength of the film’s talented ensemble allows us to forgive a less-than-watertight screenplay.

An enjoyable, efficiently crafted mash-up of sci-fi action-thriller and body-horror, despite the shortcomings.
