Marvel fans: Get excited.

People got to check out Ant-Man and the Wasp for the first time on Friday night, and while reviews will have to wait until next week, the inevitable tweeting has begun. And if the initial reaction from critics is any indication, Marvel fans are in a delightful sequel to the 2015 film.

Of note: Much of the initial reactions suggest viewers should stick around until the very end. Per critic Ben Davis, the film "has two post-credit scenes you can't afford to miss."

Another word that's appeared multiple times in reference to the film: "Fun," with critics lauding its comedic sensibilities.

But for those looking for clarity re: Avengers: Infinity War, /Film editor Peter Sciretta warns not to count on new revelations.

Here's what other critics had to say:
