Ant Man & The Wasp Reviews: 10 Early Reactions You Need To See

1. It's A Solid Improvement Over The Original

"Returning director Peyton Reed has honed in on everything that made the first Ant-Man so charming and doubled down on it, from the offbeat humor to the zippy energy radiating from every scene. It’s a smidge longer than its predecessor, but somehow feels tighter and more confident in its execution -- a rare feat for a sequel." - IGN

"Improving on the lacklustre 2015 original, Ant-Man And The Wasp is winningly modest, no small feat for a film which is part of the gargantuan Marvel Cinematic Universe." - Screen Daily

"Reed has learned how to operate the heavy machinery of a Marvel superhero movie yet keep it all light and fast and dizzying. His combat scenes don’t overpower. They’re well spaced out and actually make visual sense." - Variety

And finally, a high number of reviews noted that while Ant-Man and the Wasp is effectively more of the same, it does outdo its predecessor at least marginally thanks to improved action sequences and direction, a more emotional narrative and a stronger script.

It's looking like the ultimate critical consensus won't skew much higher than the original's average score, but a mild improvement is still an improvement all the same.

Either way, if you enjoyed the original, you'll have a fun, stress-free time with this one, which is exactly what an Ant-Man movie should be.
