It's just to much quantity and to little quality. After end game I still have to see a nice follow up movie.
Really enjoyed this film, good set up in the post credits scene too.
Missed Michael Peña though, would’ve been nice of him to make a quick appearance at the end summarising the plot of the movie.
Pretty much what you would expect. Gave it 7/10.
Did I just watch Ant-Man or some weird cousin of Star Wars? It felt like Star Wars... Which actually says a lot about Star Wars. I mean, the movie isn't offensively bad, it's good for one watch, it just seems like the tone is way off. It's nothing like the other two ant-man movies, which it doesn't need to be I guess, but it just feels weird to try to blend that humor with all the seriousness of what's going on and comes across kind of childish in the end. I mean, did we even really need MODOK if this was what we were going to get? Even the Avengers game did that story better. Overall even if this wasn't awful, I'd say after a few very average Marvel movies the last few rounds, and being this was the intro film to the new "big bad", this needed to be stronger than it was.
Poor. All visuals with little to no substance. MCU just feels spent doesn't it?
No Way Home seemed like a great opportunity to end it. But they are limping along with flashy, poorly written, inane films now.
And not even Bill Murray could inject life isn't this thing.
Mercifully short at 2 hours.
What crap awaits us in the next instalment of Marvel...?
High hopes, solid trailer, good setup for the story. Disappointing payoff. Really lost in the sauce for this one. Like, I was amazed they made this and said, yeah now that's a finished movie. The first half was just walking around and Janet saying I can't tell you yet. The 2nd half is just big fight. Honestly, I saw MatPat's video and his theory that this was supposed to be the adult Avengers vs the young Avengers having a thematic difference especially in how they should handle saving a world they aren't responsible for made way more sense. Felt like half the plot was left on the cutting room floor. And really...Kathryn Newton was not acting well here. I know she can, but perhaps acting in this environment wasn't good for her. Sad to see it, especially since this was supposed to establish Kang's threat.
This set the bar to a new level for Marvel movies, a lower level.
Utter tripe, save yourself two hours and do something else. Anything. You’ll thank me
All I can say is, Kathryn Newton was the perfect choice for this age of Cassie Lang.
I honestly felt like it was a burden to get through. I have been really excited for the arrival of Kang and was met with a CGI hellscape that was fatiguing to look at. I wouldn't have been able to finish if not for needing to make sure I didn't miss any MCU plot points that could be referenced later.
This movie cements what was hinted at in Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The Avengers could care less about justice. They keep the world spinning and that's about it. It's weird they even put all these social issues in their stories if the superheroes aren't going to do anything about it. As difficult as it is to imagine a world just like outs but one that has had superheroes in it for generations. It's more difficult to understand why Superheroes stood back and did nothing while some of the most disgusting crimes against humanity have been committed. Crimes that should have been stopped and wouldn't have started World War III. I understand if letting the Crown kill a spy needs to happen to stop global thermonuclear war then maybe I can get why Hawkeye lets the spy die. Even more than why weren't the Avengers tapped to the threat to this one character. There's this missing piece in these movies about what the superheroes do about local issues. The TV show heroes do a good job of living locally but the big boys in spite of the fact that they all have homes and live with people just can't seem to muster up any care. Even Ant-Man for crying out loud just doesn't want to step in when the police attack a peaceful protest, but he won't let you forget he fought WITH Captain America like Cap would have stood by and let the police abuse their power.
Cassie performance was horrible. Like it was out of Sharknado or similar movies straight to Marvel.
a lot of question pop up in my head after watching this. but what I want to know the most is, as Kang the Conqueror has been exiled by his other variant because he deem as dangerous, then why, at the end of the cutscene, we see many kang variants trying to plot a revenge? isn't his death worked a favor to his other variant too?
Great movie full of depth, humour, action and adventure. Really thought after the two disastrous Marvel movies of Wakanda merman and Thor love of vanity and trope it was all over for Marvel.
This movie has numerous intriguing plot points from various comic lore, it also opens up whole new worlds and characters. They even went as far as the end credits mini story opening up many more possible Ant Man stories.
Not sure what the magic mix was between, Writers produces, directors and actors but it's a great watch well worthy of your time.
Not a bad movie written by a fifth grader. You want remember much outside the few childish quirky scenes.
Not as good as the first two films but entertaining nevertheless. The introduction of Kang was well done and there were a few laughs here and there.
A waste of time, a Ant-man movie and it's only to introduce Kang, if you skip it you miss nothing in the storyline of the MCU.
As forgettable as the last two ant man's. The feel of the movie was off putting.
I don't understand all these bad reviews, because I didn't feel bored and I enjoyed the movie, especially the acting of Jonathan Majors, but the ending wasn't good, it should have been more logical than that
ant-man and wasp: TED TALKMANIA
meh
how many holes do you have?
I loved Kang... They killed the Runt of the litter... This is padding... Loved the visuals.. But won't watch it again..The only best bit was bringing back my favourite character.. LOKI... ... MEH...??
I enjoyed watching this..The Visuals were really good..At first MODOK looked corny but after a while I didn’t mind him..This was fun to watch.
Meh - lost me half way - final battle scene was good.
Missing all of the bits that made the first two good.
Definitely the worst one in the trilogy.
Rated a Connor 10, normal 7.5
A fun one!
I had a terrific time watching 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania', despite hearing 'meh' things about it here and there online. It surpassed my expectations, to be honest. Great cast, entertaining action, super interesting world building (my favourite from the MCU for a while, in that regard) and the humour is good.
Star of the show in my opinion is Michelle Pfeiffer. I don't recall her standing out in 'Ant-Man and the Wasp', but here she's excellent from beginning to end. Elsewhere, Jonathan Majors is brilliant - great to see that guy all over the place recently. Paul Rudd remains a strong lead, while the likes of Michael Douglas and Kathryn Newton are positives too.
Love the Quantum Realm setting. I'm nothing like an MCU nut, I'm only aware of the films, so didn't know what to expect, but the place looks fantastic - from the enviroment to the creatures; shoutout Veb. Like Pfeiffer, Corey Stoll didn't really register on my radar in prior films, but him as M.O.D.O.K. is a lot of fun.
Looking at my personal MCU ranking, this goes in at no. 8 - I didn't anticipate that! A literal quick glance at the average rating on here suggests I'm in the minority but I truly found much enjoyment from this. Quite the improvement on Ant-Man 2, which is at the bottom of my aforementioned ranking.
Everything is nice, nice CGI, a bit of humor, fast action. However, I have an irresistible impression that I have already seen these plot solutions somewhere, for example in Star Wars. ;)
Formulaic, Funny, Promising Future
Ant-Man and The Wasp - Quantumania , third edition in the Ant Man Franchise is a generic yet fun film from Marvel which is self aware of what it meant to provide. Ant Man 3 provides the quintessential origin story of the biggest threat after Thanos and it does well to establish Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror and flashes his potential down the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Baring a solid introduction of Kang, some rib tickling humour, some vibrant new characters of the quantum realm , Ant Man 3 is pretty generic and routine in its approach by Marvel standards. Still an important film in the current phase which adds the missing pieces of the bigger future. 2 end credits scenes are probably the best parts of the film.

VFX and the world they built was amazing as always, and visually beautiful, but other than that it didn't really feel all that special, i still liked it, but yeah /:
also i loved seeing Kathryn Newton in this, she was great i guess
and Jonathan's performance as Kang was amazing
but also, re-including that derren character and even giving him some type of "death scene" was absolutely unnecessary :skull:, and his overall presence and character design in this movie was just plain fucking atrocious, i hated that bit so much; also, why the hell is Bill Murray in an MCU movie, lets be fucking for real
i'm sorta disappointed and sad to see MCU phase 5 kick off like this, but well, i still have hope for the other movies and whats to come, and the ending of the movie where Scott has some doubtful internal monologue + that post credit scene of all the Kang's from every universe appearing one after another was... intriguing..
but i can't lie, some of my favorite moments were:
when they got sucked into that portal Cassie made, and they kept getting smaller and smaller and tried to maneuver between all the obstacles around them
and also when they had to go and get the Core, that scene really showed Scott's skills as Ant Man for me
this film was fun for the most part though there were 2 things i really couldn’t get past.
First, Cassie’s entire plot line. She causes this entire movie because she’s so set on “helping people” while completely ignoring the fact that the very actions she’s taking can have negative consequences on those she’s trying to help. I personally really dislike how she was never held responsible (even by herself) for how harmful her actions were/can be towards others. Just because you have good intentions doesn’t mean you can act blindly in every scenario.
Second, Darren’s character being a head the entire movie was very much giving George Lopez in Shark Boy & Lava Girl. I couldn’t get past the visual of it because it really didn’t seem to fit with the advanced technology vibe of the rest of the movie. I didn’t mind his character arch but just wish the visual had been different.
I found this movie to be extremely boring, even though the scriptwriters have the characters remind us what happened since the last time.
I enjoyed Quantumania, but it still has its flaws. Mainly my usual MCU gripes, tries way too hard to be funny, and the Green Screen looks awful to me.
In the humor department, I laughed at the "Holes" joke, and "Don't Be A Dick" scene. I did not like what they did with MODOK. I was spoiled by the image of him, without even realizing I was spoiled. I thought it was a meme.
Jonathan Majors was my favorite part of the film. Emotional performance, but manipulative. I look forward to meeting those "Variants".
more of a 6.5 than a 7 ; I liked the cinematography/world building/special effects but the story was very "thin"
The first half wasn’t that interesting but it delivered what the name said unlike MoM, since the abundance of creatures explained the Quantamania. The second half was amazing and the acting was great
(no spoilers except where marked)
It really isn't bad. The plot actually makes sense, great performance by everyone involved. Visuals are kind of Spy Kids-y though. Jonathan Majors really is terrifying as Kang. Only thing I didn't like is lazy writing especially the ants living inside quantum realm but in an alternative timeline sort of thing, which makes their civilization age 1000 years in a day. This seemed like something they had to come up on the spot to make the finale possible.
It's a good watch, definitely better than DS2
It amazes me that, with all the terrible movies we had to bear all these years, “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” became the one that let the entire world realize that Marvel movies suck. Honestly, I thought this was just as forgettable as usual, if not slightly more tolerable than the average. At least it’s short, fast-paced, and, above everything, it doesn’t take itself so damn seriously. If you have never been that serious about superhero flicks, I doubt you will face troubles with Marvel’s newly found taste for camp and self-aware humor.
The only truly embarrassing thing was Jonathan Major’s overacting, the rest was a not too inspired blend of Star Wars-alike space operas and multigenerational family comedies that can offer a couple of hours of serviceable entertainment. This time I didn't mind the plot holes that much, if not for one portion that seems to be completely missing in the second half.
Quantumania is a solid start to phase 5. The movie is fun, but a bit predictable at times. There are quite a few jokes that don't land as well, but that doesn't stand in the way of it being enjoyable. The world is built beautiful, but the absolute high point for me was Kang and the performance of Jonathan Majors. We have a new amazing villain on our hands, people!
Pros
- Ant-Man comedy is still there
- some great action sequences
- amazing visuals of the Quantum Zone (ILM and Digital Foundry are just great at what they do)
- Paul Rudd continues to be fantastic as Ant-Man. His comedic timing and delivery are so good.
- the setup of Kang the Conqueror and Jonathan Major’s performance is top notch
- the rumored cameo is real and I loved it
Cons
- lackluster story that was a pretty weak start for Phase 5
- tone is all over the place
- some terrible CGI. Modok is sooooo bad I’m wondering if that was intentional.
- so many characters that we are supposed to care about, but we don’t even know their names
- continue to miss that “Marvel spark” with Disney produced films. I feel that Disney needs to just let Marvel do what it wants and make that money like they did for so long. I just hope Phase 3 wasn’t the peak.
All in all, the film is entertaining. It’s very formulaic, but it’s not the disaster the critics are saying it is. Parents there is some strong language (s word a couple times) and sexual references but that was all I noticed.
3.5/5 stars - good enough for me to recommend a viewing. The post 3D was actually not terrible so if you enjoy that experience, go for it.

I love paul rudd and still a talented actor and did a great job along with some of the other cast but the movie itself falls short of being anything amazing but better than the first but got nothing on the second and it felt rushed, over done, didn’t know what they were doing, cheesy, weird and not like any other marvel film also felt a little like marvel crossed with star wars but it did have it’s pros because It was entertaining, had a good sense of humour, the action was decent, some of effects were great and most of cast did alright so i give it credit on that but shame it didn’t live up to my hype and the second film and not a good start for phase 5 for the MCU.
All I'm going to say is the critics got it all wrong. Well, at least a few of them. This movie was the best of the three. Kang is a badass. The rest of the cast was great as well. Not gonna get into spoilers, or anything. Just check it out yourself. Even if it isn't your cup of tea, it will at the very least entertain you .
A lesser Marvel movie, largely because the visual effects dampen the impact of the story. It's still enjoyable and Rudd is as engaging as ever but here's hoping future movies within Phase 5 are more memorable than this one.
Why did they do modok like that? Marvel gotta do better. The movie was good but it didn’t give the usual marvel set up to another movie which most of them have been missing as of late. Show how this adventure to the quantum realm actually affects the rest of the mcu instead of quickly ending the movie after the climax then forcing the audience to sit through credits to see a scene with little relevance to the future. Seeing Loki was dope tho.
Everyone was calling Thanos a fanny, he would have smoked that Kang
It’s a solid entry to kick off phase 5 and wasn’t nearly half as bad as what the critics were suggesting. It did lack some of the hearts of the ealier entries and sure that’s a minus but that’s about it. That said overall I still had fun with it, certainly more so than with L&T and particularly Wakanda Forever which is a much weaker movie than this one (sorry).
Fair play. Good movie, not really a great one. 6/10 would do for now
It is a pretty entertaining movie, that is at least better than the second movie. That has way higher reviews than it. Since for one the villain is far superior.
The movie just gets sillier lines as it goes on with less of the jokes landing. Also yes the movie isn’t oozing in originality. The movie is Journey to the Center of Earth meets Tron Legacy, with Ant-Man.
Quantamania : Was definitely not great, but didn't feel like it was that bad either.... There was a Quantam Realm in it, but they really didn't wanted to show much of it, i mean they showed a lot but not much exposure enn thonni, and the VFX mainly of MODOK was..... :no_mouth: And Kathyrn Newton as Cassie Lang.... I don't know whether to convey it as "A Miscast or A Mistake" But she was bad, there was this hope/motivation speech thing nearing the climax and in that scene it felt like all she was doing was basically line reading. Paul Rudds charm did work like a charm:sweat_smile: Evangeline Lilly as Hope.. meh nothing much to say, Michael Douglas as Hank was Michael Douglas as Hank, Michelle Pfeiffer was definitely good too.... But the best dish of the course was Jonathan Majors as Kang.... Their intention was to show how menacing he is, or they are... And i personally felt like they succeeded in it. There were no huge consequences, but there was a pretty good consequence and the 2 Credit Scenes were... MORE THAN WHAT I EXPECTED IT TO BE.... Maybe, just maybe this would've worked better as a Special One Hour Feature ?
P.S : IS THERE ANYWAY TO RECAST KATHRYN NEWTON ?
So…. This one was out there. Like, way out there. It was good. I enjoyed it… but man was it out there.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania continues Marvel Studios path of experimentation. Yes it's a big budget superhero movie but this installment of the Ant-Man movies pivots from the previous two.
It changes the narrative and how we interpret the characters we've come to know.
Marvel is building an overarching story that pays off in time. This is only the end of act one... I think people forget that.
There’s definitely some highs and lows in this film.
The spfx are outstanding. I found myself being reminded of Star Wars at times with he multitude of different creatures and settings. Jonathan Majors is brilliant. Kathryn Newton portrayal of Cassie felt relatable and humbling.
The story seemed a bit underdeveloped and I feel we missed out on some major character development in regards to Cassie. I wish we got more of her story during the blip.
This movie pretty much leads directly into Avengers: The Kang Dynasty an I’m curious to see how these characters get tied back in.
Just got back from the theater. We thought it was pretty good. I'd give it a 7/10. Fun way to kill a couple hours.
Story was ok. Tried to be funny in parts where it wasn't needed. Main character arcs were good though.
MODOK design was ok but it's like they put the B team on it. Especially when you compare that character to some of the other creature designs.
I feel like Billy Murry was in there for no real reason. Could have easily cut that part.
Kang was pretty cool. Future movies with other Kangs are going to get really interesting.
Strongest MCU drop in a while :thumbsup_tone5:
I liked it. Good humor but still a serious movie.
Didn't like the whole "Hey there is this really bad guy down there in the Quantum Realm, but I'm not telling anyone"-Mentality from Janet. Makes no sense at all.
Loved Jonathan Majors as Kang.
It's an entertaining fantasy movie, but didn't feel very Ant-Man-y. Could also have been the Guardians or any Avengers crew or even the rebel alliance.
It was... okay.
The humor was overall pretty cringey and Kathryn Newton's acting was not good. If they had cut Cassie from the movie I'd be 100% okay with that.
Jonathon Majors was the only redeeming factor, it's frankly disappointing that his introduction into the MCU (movies-wise) was in this film, though it was a great performance from him.

Honestly the biggest highlight for me was Katy O'Brian stealing every scene she was in. The rest felt too alien and CGI heavy. MODOK was awful and the whole thing really dipped in the middle too.
Cassie was giving me vibes of Ellie from The Last of Us as well. I'd have happily seen her cast in the TV adaptation of that actually. And you've got the perfect Abby right there in the film too (the aforementioned Katy O'Brian).
On the whole, some nice moments but glad I didn't spend the money and effort to see at the cinema. Also massive props to Disney+ for the slip credits feature :hearts:
