Went to see Ant Man and the Wasp last night. Was pretty good, and apart from being very derivative of the first film I thought it was one of the MCU's best, again primarily because of the lack of "world ending" consequences to the plot.

Not only that but the amount of made up “science” that the characters spout is utterly shameful
Made up science in film about having the technology to shrink/enlarge objects shocker

it’s embarrassing that the director didn’t have any fun with the shrinking/enlarging concept.
I agree that the action scenes weren't very interesting, but I'm not sure how you can have fun with the concept beyond what they've already done? Even the salt pot/Pez dispenser thing was a throw back to the Thomas The Tank Engine in the first film.

Oh I almost forgot about the story! Just like the people who made this film, aye?
The plot was fine for me. The only part that grated was that both the good guys and Ghost needed to do exactly the same thing as the first step of their respective plans, so I'd have liked to have seen some sort of co-operative work there only for one side to double cross the other later on rather than them just being at each other's throats the entire time - you still had the black market dealer as the out-and-out bad guy, so making Ghost a bit more complicated as a character would have been welcome.
