“Ant-Man and The Wasp” (*** out of four) was a solidly engaging superhero sequel showing the further adventures of Ant Man (Paul Rudd) as he has to balance being an action hero and a father but has to re-discover and resolve important issues from the past in order to help Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and the Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) and also save himself. Full of cool action scenes and visual effects but what really makes this work (as was the original) is the fun interplay and chemistry between its leads and team. Final half-hour is showstopping in particular. Rudd is ideal in the lead and Douglas is perfectly cast as Dr. Hym in an amusingly ironic contrast to one of his famous earlier roles as Gordon Gekko.
