"World's best grandma"
I was accused of giving away spoilers in my review of 'Infinity War' because I stated that, in war, people die. I know, it's shocking, but what kind of movie fan watches even half of the MCU films up to ‘Infinity War’ and isn’t aware of the warnings from the Russo brothers, Kevin Feige, etc. Anyway, out of respect I deleted that review and I’m just going to stick to the bare bones here.This is one of the more enjoyable MCU movies. Paul Rudd had a hand in the writing and as result it has the same humorous vibe that made ‘Ragnarok’ such fun. The casting is perfect, the story is … a little flawed, but engaging enough. The sets and effects are impressive; the acting is well done, producing some truly moving moments.I don’t remember a single thing about ‘Ant-Man’ except for the fight with ‘Yellowjacket’. The main characters return and go on a mission to find … a character who appeared in ‘Ant-Man’, but this time Hope (Evangeline Lily) suits up as ‘Wasp’, one of the iconic Marvel characters.And that is the instant game changer: every time ‘Wasp’ was in action I was enthralled. It was like watching ‘Black Widow’ fused with ‘Dr Strange’, her abilities were that incredible. Hope/‘Wasp’ is most definitely the star of this movie and clearly one of the most capable, intelligent and powerful MCU characters.But the three main female characters are all excellent, never to the detriment of their male colleagues. This is a perfect example of why the MCU is rising while Disney’s other ‘Star’ is falling: there’s excellent diversity, so subtly and naturally brought to life that it’s barely noticeable and certainly nothing to complain about. There’s no forced agenda or bumbling Y-chromosomes here, just a narrative construction and execution that is a treat to behold.I bought this movie because I know that, like ‘Ragnarok’ and ‘Infinity War’, I will be watching it and enjoying it several times.

Excellent
The Blu Ray 3D disc version of this film has great depth and scope and looks amazing like the first ANT-MAN Blu Ray 3D disc. For buyers from outside of the UK the 2 discs in this set are both region lock free (REGIONS ABC)!!!!!

Into the quantum
A new Marvel comics movie. Sequel to 'Ant Man.' You might have trouble getting into this if you've not seen that. Along with 'Captain America: Civil War'.And you won't understand one scene if you've not seen 'Avengers: Infinity War.'Anyone reading this probably has seen all Marvel films anyway, but you never know.Anyway, this begins with Scott Lang on the straight and narrow, after the end of the aforementioned Captain America film, and determined not to get in trouble with the Feds. But then Hank recruits him for a dangerous mission. That will take him into a whole new world...This isn't a film with quite the same stakes as some of these. It just acts as a direct sequel to what came before. The villains aren't really the most memorable foes to put it mildly. And one member of the cast is disappointingly underused.And yet..Even though I'd read reviews which said that, I found I started enjoying this after a few minutes in. And remained doing so for the remainder of the movie. Because it does have the same fun and humorous tone that the first did, and it manages to keep that going very nicely.A good bit of fun escapism. No more. No less. So if you want a superhero movie like that, this will suit you fine.As usual with these films, do keep watching to the very end of the closing credits.The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:Languages: English. German. Turkish. English audio described.Subtitles: English, Danish, Finnish, German, Norwegian, Swedish, Turkish.The disc goes into the main menu once loaded without ads or trailers, but you do have to wait a few seconds for it to get through the Marvel studios bit.And as usual with these discs now, it doesn't have any extras whatsoever.

Quantantum of joy.
This is unlike any superhero movie yet made.Brilliant,funny,moving and exciting in equal measures.I think it is more of a family comedy with elements of a heist and science fiction movie thrown with some superhero stuff for good measure.Of course there are some very good CGI scenes as you would expect.Paul Rudd is as funny as ever and even Micheal Douglas raises a few laughs and there is a great scene stealing turn from Michael Pena.All in all a very enjoyable movie that even those not enamoured of Marvel could enjoy.I might also say that it was lovely to see Michelle Pfeiffer back in a small but telling role looking as beautiful as ever.The bluray looks great and their are enough extras to satisfy the geek in all of us.
