Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - 蟻人與黃蜂女:量子狂熱



Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (蟻人與黃蜂女:量子狂熱) is an 2023 movie. The film stars Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Jonathan Majors, Kathryn Newton, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Michael Douglas. If you an believe it, this is the 31st film of the MCU and the first for Phase Five.

Scott has just saved the world and he's feeling pretty good about it. One thing that happened during the blip was that he missed out on time with his daughter Cassie. Cassie has taken up a good relationship with Henry and Hope. At a family dinner, she lets Scott and Janet know of a project with the Quantum realm. Cassie has been researching the realm and shows off her project. Janet freaks out and tells Cassie to stop. However, they are sucked into the Quantum Realm where they eventually meet Kang. Can they survive Kang and the Quantum Realm?



I got to watch it in 3D IMAX (Multiplex Design) on a very big screen. I was hooked as this film was a bit of non-stop action. There were times of talking, but it wasn't long before it was onto the next quest. I wasn't mad at it though. The pacing was good and I didn't feel like it dragged.



I will have to watch it again to truely appreciate it. Recently, I've been catching a lot of the Phase 2 and 3 films and I hope these phase 5 films can match it. Phase 4 was not able to as a whole.

Ant-Man And The Wasp - 蟻人與黃蜂女



Ant-Man And The Wasp (蟻人與黃蜂女) is an 2018 film. The movie stars Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly. The supporting cast include Hannah John-Kamen, Michael Peña, Walton Goggins, Bobby Cannavale, Judy Greer, Randall Park, Michelle Pfeiffer, Laurence Fishburne, and Michael Douglas. The movie is a sequel to the first Ant-Man.



Paul Rudd is on house arrest after the events of Captain America: Civil War (美國隊長3:英雄內戰) and is only a few days from finishing up. Working as an security architect for his boys, he's trying to make right. Randall Park plays Jimmy Woo, the officer assigned to his cast to make sure he's under house arrest. Wasp and the Pym are trying to find Janet and look for parts to build their machine, but the Ghost has other plans. Can Ant-Man and the Wasp beat the Ghost and find Janet?

This movie was just like episode 2 if this were a TV series. Same director and actors makes for a very similar feel. However, this time around, they could focus on the story vs. the origins story. Which made for a much more action packed movie. This was a still a comedy with some Marvel action in it. At the heart of the movie is family. Both for Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Ant-Man - 蟻人



Ant-Man (蟻人) is an 2015 film. The movie stars Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Peña, Anthony Mackie, and Michael Douglas. The movie takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the twelfth film of the series.

Scott Lang plays a high tech robber in the San Francisco area who gets caught and sent to jail. When he gets out, Scott is recruited by Henry Pym to help him steel secrets from his own company. Scott eventually agrees and gets trained by both Pym and his daughter, Hope van Dyne. Together, they work to reclaim Pym's company from an already happened hostile takeover.

This was a comedy with some action. Plain and simple. Peyton Reed does a good job of replacing the original Edgar Wright. Thank goodness in my opinion as I have not been a fan of Edgar Wright films, but have been entertained by Peyton Reed's previous films, like Yes Man. Paul Rudd pretty much plays himself, but just as Ant-Man. Evangeline Lilly does her thing as the tough as nails and looking great doing it thing, a la Lost.

In all, I've watched Ant-Man more than a few times and would stop while channel surfing.
