Antman and the Wasp
Antman is the best Marvel movie to watch on Netflix.
Marvel Cinematic Universe may have shone the torch on their vintage superhero characters such as Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, etc. All four stealing headlines and applauses a little too much.
But we really don’t mind as long as they find a vent to preventing the inevitable: earth’s total destruction.
Actions in all four movies are very thick, compared to Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man and the Wasp. This one is quite light.
Following its predecessor Antman in 2015, this one coughs up plenty of intriguing moments and tries not to be bland or coated with too much humor thanks to Ant-Man.
The meat of this movie is the love for family, while Hope’s activities are geared towards a groundbreaking family reunion.
It is impossible not to admire the onscreen connection between Lang and sweet little cassie.
Avengers: Infinity War [Recommended]
It’s hard to think of any other thing superheroes would be doing than trying to save the World.
It brings all of Marvel Cinematic Characters together, and the action is insane.
Yet, what is most telling of all is the way the characters cause an emotional crack that leaves watchers completely paralyzed by shock events in the movie.
Set in modern-day America, Avenger: Infinity War, is an all-out war movie with earth’s greatest villain Thanos.
Earth, became a grade 12 alert, following the badass assault of the planet by the enormous, green monster Josh Brolin, Thanos.
His plan is to kill half of the World’s population, unapologetically through snapping his fingers using a gauntlet that contained infinity stones.
He is unmatched even against the first Avengers like Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor, Powerful Hulk.
Hurray! It means more great MCU movies in the near future. We highly recommend this movie as it’s one of the best movies to watch on Netflix.
