An average movie

I already saw this movie but since I just bought a brand new awesome TV, I was quite eager to check it out again. I actually recently rewatched 'Ant-Man' as well and, to be honest, even though I really loved the damned thing the first time around, it wasn’t as good as I remembered. Well, I'm afraid this sequel will probably go down as one of the most forgettable installments in the mighty MCU. Indeed, basically, half of it was not bad but the other half was only decent at best. For example, it was a great idea to expand the characters of Hope van Dyne and Hank Pym but, as a result, Scott Lang was pretty much reduced to a supporting character in his own franchise. I had also some issues with the plot. Indeed, it was really neat that, following the events of the previous installment, they would try to rescue Janet van Dyne but, unfortunately, they had to add some villains somehow and they were both rather underwhelming. Sure, Ghost was a cool character but her motivations were rather weak and it was pretty obvious that, if she would have simply asked, they would have helped her so this conflict was rather bogus. As for the other villain, Walton Goggins's character was even less interesting as he was basically a walking cliché. Eventually, after the massive hits of 'Black Panther' and 'Avengers: Infinity War', it seems that Marvel decided to take it easy with their last movie released in 2018 but who could blame them? To make things worse, the second time around, this movie was even less impressive and it seems that my rating was too generous for this movie the first time around. Anyway, in spite of its flaws, it was visually pretty neat with some solid action scenes and it is still worth a look, especially if you like the genre but, like everyone else, I’m now convinced it is one of the weaker MCU instalments.
