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.
