Movie #1555 "The Ant Man and the Wasp" -- I don't usually like these superhero films, but there's something about this franchise that I really enjoy --- perhaps it's the sense of humor in between the fights, or maybe the big chase scenes that seem different from other heroes' films because these heroes are so tiny --- or then again, it can be the constant change in the backgrounds (from too big to too small) so it saves the film from boredom....whatever it is, I recommend this film as just a fun summer film show to see --- what a hoot to see the big car chase on the streets of San Franciso (in homage to Bullit, perhaps?), to see Michelle Pfeiffer as the mom coming back to life, Michael Douglas playing the hostile father who tries to protect his daughter, Michael Pena, ordinarily a very dramatic actor, taking on a humorous sidekick role here. Overall, there are just a few clunky moments dealing with dialogue that made those moments appear to be a bit soapoperish --- otherwise, very enjoyable.
"ANT MAN AND THE WASP"PG-13 2018 4 stars out of 5
It's not easy balancing dad obligations with superhero duties, but Scott Lang is doing his best. Called upon to team with the Wasp and help carry out a crucial new mission, he again dons his Ant-Man suit and gears up for battle.
