Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania; Wild, otherworldly visuals and a stellar cast attempt to overcome the MCU trappings of never ending, never starting, everlasting storyline. Fun, silly spectacle suffers from comic book conveniences & delayed back story yet still entertains; B+

 

Ant-Man and the Wasp

Ant-Man and the Wasp; Thrills big and small. Heart and humour. Replays the hits from the first film with a few new visuals. Always uses the talents of the cast so well. Relationships believable and what makes the subject matter so enjoyable; A-

Ant-Man

Ant-Man; Small scale heist film feels like pre-Marvel superhero tales. Focused, family driven, funny. Truly Douglas' film in his gravitas; A-

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies; Epic Carnage. Fights galore. Almost outpaces the story and characters in its battle orgy; A-

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug; More merriment & character building results in more engaging moments. Still, middle film let down; B+
