We do a NON-spoiler section for Ant-Man And The Wasp, and don’t worry, we are ALSO NON-SPOILERS for Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and other MCU films. Our Production Profile gives you the Cast & Crew miniature filmographies so you can place the faces on screen, and Also Mike gives you some story inception information about the first Ant-Man’s Box Office & some production notes here. Then Mike 1 brings you up to date on the sequel’s critical & opening night gross in his Movie Specs. The Mikes then join forces for the rest of the Non-Spoiler Review as we review the Production Values. We gush over the 3D, De-Aging, and many other Visual Effects, including some snapshot reviews of the cinematography, production & costume design. Then we shift into a review of the performances from the entire ensemble before diving into a non-spoiler look at the script and overall popcorn movie appeal of the film. The Oscar Lens yields our opinions on if & where this movie should contend come award season before we offer our final non-spoiler takes. You dance with our Spoiler Music, and we dive headlong into the Quantum Realm. We have some character and plot issues with the Laurence Fishburne, Evangeline Lilly, and Michelle Pfeiffer characters. But don’t worry, we bring it all back to some of our best scenes and praise the genius of the film. It’s a fairly balanced review from us for a change, some majestic highs and some plot hole into the quantum lows, with a loud debate thrown in for good measure. Finally, we discuss the entire MCU with a unique movie watcher theory from Mike 1 on how the Quantum Realm fits into the overall tapestry of this Cinematic Universe.
