7/10
A great superhero film!

Warning: Spoilers
Ant man and the Wasp is a successful sequel that contains comical moments like the first movie. The special effects and storytelling add elements of science into the MCU. We can see the film being more creative with the idea of "Pym Particles" where objects are being enlarged and downsized more frequently.

One great thing about the film is the relationship between Hope and her mother, Janet. Like Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, this film explore the idea of love extending beyond space and time, and the writers did so with the details that were already established in the story. The relationship between the main two female characters can be described as a game of hide and seek, Hope's motivation in the film is simply finding her motivation her, like how she always lost the game in her childhood.

But all movie came with imperfection. Once again, like the previous film, Hank Pym's character is poorly developed. The film villian Ghost, exist because of him being a jerk at the first place by not acknowledging her father's work. Yet the conflict between the characters resolved without Pym being forced to change. He was the same egotistic douche described in his youth at the end the of film. There were no apologies or struggles or choices touched to change his character.

Generally, the film is entertaining to watch. It's my personal favorite Marvel in 2018. Since the film is dedicated to the main characters, the recently reunited family's death were made sadder than the ones in the Infinity War.
