"Ant-Man and the Wasp' Light and Lively


Well, Disney Marvel has knocked another one right out of the ballpark with Ant-Man and the Wasp, a delightful, perfectly paced action-comedy.
As I had hoped, this Ant-Man sequel turns on the fate of the original Wasp, Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), who was lost in a subatomic universe while on a heroic mission decades ago.
The machinery of the plot is kept well oiled by the witty interplay between the established characters — charming Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), irascible Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), ever-competent Hope Pym (Evangeline Lilly) and lovable goofball Luis (Michael Pena). The film introduces Laurence Fishburne as Bill Foster, a character Marvel fans will recognize as an earlier incarnation of the superhero Goliath.
The movie has suspense, size-changing shenanigans, cute ants, a Stan Lee cameo, a ghostly super villain and a lot of stuff about daughters that brings the story full circle.  And surely we all know by that that at a Disney Marvel movie you must STAY THROUGH THE CREDITS.
