Finally had a chance to get out and see this movie this morning. I avoided all spoilers, all reviews, and this thread for two weeks, so I had no idea what was going to happen. It turned out to be exactly what I had anticipated, which was a fun, light little movie that allowed me to shut off my brain for a couple of hours and just enjoy it. As others have written, after Infinity War, the MCU needed this kind of "slow down" movie instead of another BIG film like Black Panther.
The scenes between Scott and Cassie were great, as I, having two daughters, could completely relate to them.
Michael Pena was hilarious, as he was in the first movie. I couldn't understand why Scott's ringtone for Luis was an old Morrissey song, but when the reveal under the "not truth serum" came out, I just burst out laughing; I may have been the only person in the audience, small as it was, who was old enough to even know who Morrissey is.
Loved the introduction of Bill Foster, as well as the code-name for the project that he and Hank worked on for S.H.I.E.L.D. Easter eggs are the best!
Actually liked that Ghost was a sympathetic "villain" and not another megalomaniac like Darren Cross from the first movie. She really wasn't "bad" per se, just someone who had been dealt a horrible hand and who was looking to fix it by whatever means she could.
All in all, I would give this a solid "B" rating. It was well worth the $4 I spent to see it, and I would certainly be up for watching it again.
