Ant-Man and the Wasp—not much new here compared
to the last film—still manages to earn a watch. This is the second film in the
Ant-Man movie series. The acting, presentation, and animation are great. This movie plays with a mid-credit scene that intriguingly leads to the desire to see the third movie in the series: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.Watch for Laurence Fishburne who has now acted in both DC and Marvel superhero movies.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. This superhero movie is more than worth
watching. It’s a great PG-13 crowd watch.
Ant-Man—surprisingly action-packed—works on an
old idea, but presents it in a fresh manner. It’s great to see Michael Douglas
in the movie. The script writing shows good timing
and creativity. The ant animation is interesting
and becomes one of the things that enhances enjoyment of the movie. Great movie that more than earns its watch.

Buy a Ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. This film starts the ‘all new’Ant-Man Marvel movie
series.
Avengers: Endgame—odd conclusion that seems disjointed from its
story—runs as ‘not well thought out and complicates itself.’ It’s 2-hour build
up leaves the audience flat at the end. The camera work, the animation, and the
acting are good to great. It’s a good watch for superhero fans, but not for general
audiences.

Yes. If one wants to finish the series, this is
it.
Captain America: Civil War seems out of place from other Marvel stories. The
story itself is well presented, well written, and well-acted but it seems odd
to take these characters out of the hero role and place them in a role that seems more
criminal than hero. While thismovie is
meant to be the 3rd part of the Captain America series, it is so
different that it can be watched as a stand-alone movie. It does not seem to
relate to films like Avengers: infinity War because of different
introductions to certain characters such as the Spiderman. There is much more backstory on Bucky Barnes
(Sebastian Stan) which is quite welcome. Other than that, this is a movie that
will satisfy the Marvel superhero fan. Just be prepared for an entirely
different portrayal of superheroes.

bad action.

Yes.
This movie serves the Marvel superhero fan well. It is a stand-alone film that
does not have to be sequentially watched and has a worthy storyline supported
by good action scenes.
