Ant-Man and The Wasp

For me, this is the best implementation of the comic book type. It is sci-fi, action, subtle humor, character based story telling. But not too much of any of these. Paul Rudd is fabulous, and plays his not super bright, but enthusiastic dad, super hero role perfectly. He is currently near the end of his 2-years of house arrest for past illegal superhero activity. He is drawn back into drama when Pym and his daughter approach him to help retrieve the Mrs. Pym from the quantum realm. Lots of shrinking, and growing using Pym's tech, which works mostly pretty good, most of the time. And we also have a nemesis (the ghost) who is also afflicted by a quantum realm disease and wants to use Pym's tech to heal herself instead of rescue Mrs. Pym. Great supporting roles here fill out the story and make this film a full and enjoyable experience.
5 stars (out of 5)
