Ant Man and The Wasp
Just saw [this movie](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5095030/) with my 16 year old son and 10 year old nephew. All of us enjoyed it. Nephew has not seen other Marvel movies, but it didn''t matter too much. It's mostly fairly clear what is going on, but seeing the first one plus Civil War would explain how they got to where they are. 

As usual the trailer shows too much, but it was a while since I saw it, so I forgot most of the details.  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUkn-enk2RU

This movie really covers every level of scale from the microscopic to huge and has great fun with it. You couldn't have made it 30 years ago and it's just seamless now. It's bewildering how much work goes into the design and execution of the action scenes.

As with the first one it's more of a comedy than others in the series. Scott Lang is a criminal under house arrest whilst still trying to be Ant Man. He teams up again with the scientist played by Michael Douglas whose daughter becomes The Wasp. They are trying to find his wife who disappeared into the 'quantum realm' decades ago. There's a lot of scientific buzzwords, but it bears little relationship to real science. Just suspend belief and go with it. There's a kid and some comedy sidekicks in a plot with some dumb criminals and someone who can walk through walls. It hangs together pretty well.

There's some clever de-aging of Michael Douglas and the San Francisco locations look nice. I must go there some day. The car chases are great as some vehicles keep changing size.

It's rated a 12A in the UK, so there's no blood. I didn't see anything my nephew shouldn't see. Mind you, he says he wants to see The Meg. Not sure about that. I was more concerned about trailers they had for Mile 22 and The Predator that I doubt he will be seeing any time soon.

There are two extra scenes that you could hang around for. The first ties in with Infinity War and the second is just a little comedy that is not really worth having to sit for all that time for. Oh, and Stan Lee makes his usual cameo. The guy is getting on a bit. 

The Marvel movies are really milking it, but they are generally good quality. I've seen most of them with my son. I think my nephew will be catching up on them soon.

Steem on!

I want to see this movie. I don't find time to go to watch movies. I think I'll have to wait till it is gets broadcast on television.

I didn't see the first one, but I did see Civil War.  I am looking forward to checking this one out as well.  I am still a bit behind in the whole series.  I haven't seen Ragnarok, Black Panther, or Infinity War yet either.  San Francisco really is one of the greatest cities in the states for car chases.  The chase from The Rock is one of my favorites!

I can't wait to see it. I've seen every other Marvel universe film and overall like most of them.

You're right they are milking it, but I can't get enough of them. I hope they bring more characters. Deadpool is the best so far imo.

I loved it, as always Paul Rudd is amazing and the whole cast as well. It's one of Marvel's funniest franchise so I'm looking forward to the bigger part Ant-Man seems to have in the future of the MCU universe

Not seen this one yet, but looks like a decent family fun / action hero type movie.

Fun trivia question ... which quite well known steemian worked on this movie?
