This month we are reviewing the latest Marvel Movie (MCU), next to be released after Infinity War: Ant-Man and the Wasp. This was a nice reprieve from the shock experienced by most Marvel fans, following the events of Infinity War (Which was a great movie and pivotal to the MCU. You should definitely watch it before watching any of the newer Marvel installments). MCU movies don’t always follow the same timeline as their release dates, but they are released in a certain order on purpose, you can trust that.
Ant-Man is a light-hearted character. He and the actor who portrays him, Paul Rudd, are both good at being silly and making even the most dire of situations seem whimsical. This time around we find Scott Lang, Ant-Man’s alter ego, under house arrest due to his involvement in the battle between Captain America and Iron Man in Captain America: Civil War. It is almost the end of his 2 year sentence and he is trying his best to behave the next few days, so that he can have his ankle monitor removed and be free to roam the city as a free man. Of course, it wouldn’t be much of a superhero story if all we did was watch Scott finish out his house arrest in peace. The supporting characters are fun to watch, but still we need action. So, enter Hank Pym and his daughter Hope Van Dyne, characters from the first Ant-Man movie. They have a small favor to ask of Scott that doesn’t go anywhere close to plan. Suffice it to say that there are several people, in the same area, after the same technology, for differing reasons, causing the outcome of Scott’s small favor to be a big ordeal. There are fight scenes, giant ants, truth serums, shrinking and growing items of all kinds and a new character causing havoc, Ghost. Ant-Man does prevail in the end, but it’s definitely a rocky road to the finish. Ant-Man and the Wasp is rated PG-13 For Sci-Fi Action Violence. It is funny and action packed and may be best for children ages 10 and up. As with all Marvel Movies there are extra scenes in the credits so be sure to stick around until the very end of the credits. Terry and Brook Saunders 2/3 of the Saunders Girls
