 Sup movie nerds it's Justin and Nick good to see you And we've just come out of the sequel to Ant-Man called Ant-Man on the Wasp. Yep. It was fun or wasn't yes stay, dude But we will let you know Just up guys this is going to be a full spoiler review So we're gonna be saying things that if you haven't seen the movie yet Then maybe you should come back or just watch it because we are some some handsome gentlemen's who have just seen the movies and It'll be fun to talk about so what was your favorite part of the movie man There's so much I can talk about with them and wasp. I love but what I love is the fact that much like we've seen so far This Marvel film has its own identity. Yeah, it's refreshing that we don't get something that is Cliche we get something original we get something fun and most of all it's self-aware it borrows from its previous films Yeah, I did a bit of a heist film, but what we get in here is something new something fun and something family friendly very family friendly The scenes that like one of my favorite sequences was right at the start of the movie where you've got Scott in his head Like he's been under house arrest for the last two years because of the incident in Captain America Civil War Oh Does anyone have any orange slices so he's been with his daughter Cassie who I think might actually grow up to be an Ant character herself like I is that I is their precedent for that in the comics Well Scott Lang's adventures aren't especially familiar to me But you can never say never what Marvel because they're always thinking about the next chapter. Absolutely. So but what I really like this sequence is that You because he hasn't been allowed to use the airman so because it's essentially been taken away from him He is stuck in this house and he's turned He's like house into an ant farm So he and his daughter are crawling along and trying to do different things and trying to get to a treasure and He's like even got callbacks to Anthony the original like the his his ant friend from the first movie And that was really really not sequence. It was very very attuned and really good for kids It felt exactly what comic book film should have a celebration of the imagination the celebration of family and What we get from there? We just can't pull right into the adventure because guess what Hank Pym and his daughter hope walk Right back into Scott Lang's life and from there. We are immediately on something fast We are an adventure unlike any other it's actually pretty cool because the the to you gap that Has taken place between the two films what we have is a decent continuation of the story You don't have to think of what have they actually been up to for the last two years You know, you know that Scott's been at home stuck under house arrest But you also know that Hank Pym and And hope have been building this quantum tunnel to try to find Janet yeah, and we've never met him until now, but Michelle Pfeiffer when she shows up on screen You get a double surprise not only is Michelle Pfeiffer looking exactly as she did in the 80s But most of all you're gonna get a very memorable introduction and I think this is the second time We can say Michelle Pfeiffer has wormed her way into our comic book fan hearts exactly comic character exactly And it's even the second time that she's worked with Michael Douglas, but really yeah So let's talk about the action sequences How do you think they raised the bar from the previous film as we've seen so far with Marvel Infinity War all these Powers become like a jungle gym for special effects artists But what we get with this one is doesn't matter how big or how small it is they're gonna have fun with it You know the trailer shows us this has dispenser become a weapon Yeah, yeah, what's really impressive is the gadgets from the houses to the cars They really they really really get into the whole shrink grow cable shrink shrink grow capability of this tech that it's not just something that is Relegated to just Scott's suit now and and with a couple of those discs. They're using it with cars They're using it with buildings They're using it which I think is a great way to actually move your house You buy a house somewhere and then you shrink it down and then you move and you go I want to live in this country now and by the way I have my house in my pocket But seriously one of the things that stuns me too is the fact that wasp actually has some really interesting Moments in terms of what she does like she can when she's small You can see her use a bit of martial arts a bit of everything. Yeah, it's insane Yeah And I and the addition of the wings really helps in changing the the visual Dynamic of this film as well because you've got we've got Scott is always having to fly around on a on a creature on a On an insect and well I don't want to be racist to the other insects that are out there that aren't being there But you know what every good guy needs a bad guy and we have one of the most unique bad guys that we've actually ever seen who? is more of a Story antagonist than a character antagonist like normally we've got characters bad guys who are exactly directly against what the hero Has in mind for the film like the whole idea of a protagonist antagonist is that it's the opposite of each other You're always going to have Captain America is going to be standing for this But then regs red skull stands for this whereas in this film The story is about the family and about Scott and trying to rescue Janet But then you have this other person ghost played by Hannah John Caiman and she comes in and she Uses her Capabilities which are a massive curse to her. Yeah, the funniest thing in comics is a good tragic villain is The main bread and butter of Marvel you got dog cock and spy meant to you've got Magneto and the X-Men franchise ghost is a villain you can feel sympathy for because yeah She isn't just fighting for the fact that she's been wronged by Hank Pym But she's also fighting for a very survival and in the end what we have is a film of competing Interests, but no one is someone you call they're directly evil well except for one guy Walton Goggins I Like I love Walton Goggins from justified He's one of my favorite character actors that are out there and just his addition into the movie was It was really really fun. I really liked how he was in there I was a little bit confused about exactly why he wanted the the lab They wanted the they've shrunk down their lab that has the technology inside it that will save Janet But then he really wants it and all of his cronies want to help him get it Why did he well apparently he was gonna sell it off? You know the old bad guy story of a very sell-it-all make love some money Yeah, yeah, but the biggest it feels like a waste of Walton Goggins in that regard because he is a large in life character He's on the screen as usual if you see him in hateful later anything else he dominates it But you see this is the one misstep of Ant-Man and lost it Even though we have these competing interests laid out and nicely done and we have these characters who feel holistic The undercooked villain for Walton Goggins is a bit of a problem. Yeah. Yeah, it's a shame too because We have a very Excellent follow-up for a Marvel film and we have this one fun villains. We have a great cast So, I mean if there's just one thing we could peg Wish that a Walton Goggins character turned out a bit better. Yeah, sure What about Marco Peña? Oh man, if you saw he was awesome the first movie you'd be correct because he's still awesome now Exactly the three guys that are Scots old mates that were in the first movie or of course back and They are exactly as they were in the in the first movie. They're just a great little comic little sidekick story That's really really helpful, but Michael Peña does get a bit of an action sequence as well at the end Yeah, that's a bit strange Usually the comic relief just stays exactly as that but we actually have a very fun car chase You know actually to be quite honest there are two major car chases in there and reminds me of Bullock I mean, of course, you're gonna use San Francisco You can use the hills and have a bit of fun and if you love car chases they go fast and furious in this one I do in fact in San Francisco. That's where the Climax to the first Hulk movie was set. I almost Recognize remember. Oh, yeah So remember like Eric Banner's like kind of coming down and and like Betty brought Betty bros baby bros is right there and Lift Tyler and yeah No, I almost guarantee that there's a sequence in the film that is shot in the exact same spot Yeah, it's funny how all these Marvel films are kind of boring from each other But if you have to see at man the wasp, is it any good? Yes, it's definitely good. It's definitely watchable. It's definitely rerot and rewatchable as well Which is what I? Classify a good film I would like to see this again and the best thing about it is that I will take my daughters to see it as well They like cats in the films because that's all I have cats. I mean, you know, I could bring my travel Anyway, besides that look if you're watching this you've got a seal of nerd approval from Justin and Nick Atman wants will be in cinemas by the time this video hits So if you're excited like we are hit the movies, we'll see you later
