Antman 2 and the Trailers Before It
Mar. 6th, 2019 07:02 pmThe trailers before Antman 2 were Wreck It Ralph 2, Predators and Mile 22, none of which looked promising.
I never got the whole Wreck It Ralph thing - I think it's a mixture of not having been a gamer when younger and being too old to be the target demographic. Predators is not-my-thing™, even for Sterling K Brown, and the only thing that made me want to watch Mile 22 was Iko Uwais. Because I have seen The Raid. Anyone who has seen The Raid will feel the way I do.

Antman 2, or to give it's proper name "Antman and the Wasp", is a cuddly jumper of a film, with likable characters. And that's fine, because that's what I wanted it to be. It doesn't seek to revolutionise the genre or do anything different, it just gives us the further adventures of Scott Lang and his friends.
The only down side is that it doesn't give us enough Wasp-time. What Wasp-time there is is glorious, but I could have done with more.
I'm not sure how much any of it would have worked if you hadn't seen Antman 1. It's very much chickens coming home to roost, for both Antmen. ( Spoilers )
It's not brilliant but it is solid.
( Spoilers for the film, the stinger, Avengers: Infinity War and the Avengers: Endgame trailer )
