It has been a few years since Ant Man was released and it kinda of passed by a little unnoticed. Ant- Man was a great movie which briefly showed parts of the Shield base and led the way for a smaller super hero who may or may not team up with the Avengers in some way. When you watched it, it was easy to watch it as it's own movie and not think about it at all in relation to the Avengers movies. Then Ant-Man featured in 'Civil War' and that led the way for a sequel.
Scott is back from the quantum realm and also from Germany and is under house arrest, which would make you wonder how on earth they could create an entire movie when the protagonist is stuck in his house. Scott's visit to the quantum realm seemed to pair him up with Hope's mother and so Hope and her father kidnap Scott and use him to help them locate the mother/wife.
Of course there has to be a villain, so in comes Eva, a girl who has been exposed to quantum energy when her father's lab exploded and is in incredible pain. This movie is really the back story in to Hope's life and everyone seems to be after quantum energy and her mother. There are many fights and many sequences of becoming big and small which is very entertaining and what I liked about this movie is that it is light-hearted but it sticks to it's plot and doesn't try to make anything to complicated or fancy. Ant-Man teaming up with 'The Wasp (Hope)' enables them to have two battles going on and re-emphasises all the hard work done in the first movie to obtain the Wasp suit.
There's a happy ending and there will be a third movie.
Ant-Man is one of the best Marvel franchises still out there. Two solid, better than good movies without overdoing anything. Ant-Man can slip in to other movies but doesn't need to cross over in the same way that many of the other characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe do. Ant-Man doesn't need The Avengers to come and help him out in any of his movies because there is no need.
We enjoyed this movie and we enjoyed the previous movie as well. Ant- Man is the next big thing.
