BOFCA REVIEW ROUND-UP – 7/6/2018

ANT-MAN & THE WASPantmanwasp

“for a story full of small things getting big and big things getting small, the most satisfying thing about “Ant-Man and the Wasp” is its human-scaled sense of proportion.” – Sean Burns, NorthShoreMovies

“With a top-notch cast and exceptionally witty script, this is pure fun.” – Dan Kimmel, NorthShoreMovies

“A fine movie where the faults are glaring but not that damaging.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“It’s a Marvel movie, so you should know by now the villains are a red-herring and the “real” arch-nemeses are the insecurities and personal failings the heroes need to overcome.” – Bob Chipman, Geek.com
