GameSpot’s Mike Rougeau had this to say about Ant-Man and the Wasp: “Fun, goofy, self-aware, and imaginative, Ant-Man and the Wasp is a joy to see. It’s one of the most comic-booky MCU films yet, with a ton of pseudo-science jargon, wild action, and many villains fighting for screen time. In the meantime, Ant-Man and the Wasp provides a pleasant respite from the uncertainty surrounding the futures of our favorite superheroes following Avengers: Infinity War.”
