Ranking August 2018's Movies From Worst To Best

7. Ant-Man & The Wasp

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 88% (6.9/10)

Box Office: True to form for just about every MCU sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp has just recently sailed past the first film's $519.3 million final total, in large part thanks to a stonking performance in China.

While it won't be a colossal gain over the first film, it's a fine result for what's undeniably one of the franchise's B-tier superheroes.

Verdict: A lightly enjoyable superhero sequel following the traumatising ending to Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp is breezy fun to a point, even if the script does feel rather low-effort in parts, and many of the usual Marvel movie problems arise (namely those villains).

Still, there are some strong laughs - Luis on truth serum! - and neat action beats, which is really all the film needed to deliver in order to succeed.
