I massively enjoyed the first one but found the second one to be quite forgettable. I loved the idea of smaller stake stories for Ant-Man films. It was a little surprising to hear that Ant-Man 3 would have bigger stakes as I didn't find this to suit the character. Is this a good entry for the little guy or quantum garbage?

The greatest highlight of this film is the antagonist, Kang the Conqueror, played by Jonathan Majors. Kang is fearsome and menacing with a terrific performance by Jonathan that reminds me of Darth Vader. He steals the show in every scene, to the point that I was actually rooting for him. I am also glad that his performance is vastly different to the variant we saw in the Loki (2021) show. I can't wait to see more of Kang in the future! In terms of performance, I also enjoyed seeing more of Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet van Dyne. She was barely in the second Ant-Man film but here she is front and centre. She shines in her performance and perfectly illustrates the guilt and fear her character is experiencing. Paul Rudd is still charming and charismatic as Scott Lang. His relationship with his daughter Cassie (Kathryn Newton) is still the main core of his character. We get to see 'some' serious moments with his character which was nice to see.

Another thing I liked was the overall design of the Quantum Realm. The world and the living beings in the Quantum Realm were interesting. It had a very Star Wars/Mad Max feel to it with the blend of sci-fi, deserts and alien-like creatures. The 3rd act of the movie is also quite entertaining. For the most part, it's a giant CGI battle with lots of things happening on screen but it is fun to watch. I especially loved seeing Kang in action because we get to see how much of a beast he is compared to previous villains. However, the writing is very weak. There are a lot of silly dialogues that just made me roll my eyes. It doesn't help that for some reason Marvel is still doing forced unnecessary humour. If this story is meant to be higher stakes then make it serious! The quips get overly repetitive. The first half is a little dull too with minimal interesting things happening. It doesn't take until over halfway through the movie to actually see Kang. Additionally, the ending was disappointing. It is very bland and safe which is a shame as this film could've delivered a shocking and memorable ending. This movie is also meant to build up hype for the next Avengers film but that ending fails to do even that. MODOK is also in this film and it is a pointless addition. Not only do they change the character completely from their comic counterpart, but their role in the story is also absolutely irrelevant. Could take them out of the story and nothing will change. Despite the film being called Ant-Man and the Wasp, both Scott Lang and Hope feel like side characters in their own film. They have no character development and are just kind of there for the ride. Janet is more of a main character than them. I also don't like this trend in these recent Marvel films of Marvel characters looking out for these young characters. Cassie is the next in this trend and is also an annoying character like many of them before. I think Kathryn Newton is fine in her role but her character just isn't written well to be likeable enough for me to care. This is also a very CGI-heavy film and for the most part, it is okay but there are definitely times when it looks rough. The editing, especially during action sequences, can be really bad. They tend to do too many quick cuts during action sequences and for some reason use the shaky cam in 2023!

Overall, Ant-Man 3 is a bit disappointing. There was a lot of potential for this to be something great but the execution is quite poor. This isn't a great start to Phase 5 and I am getting worried about the future of the MCU. They need to do a better job at making people hyped for the next Avengers-level threat as this film isn't making me think this is a threat equal to or better than Thanos. I'm hoping future Marvel films start building up this new threat because they need to show us that this new threat is worthy of our attention.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, in my opinion, the best Marvel movies so far have always been the ones that don’t take themselves too seriously - but Antman 3 kinda fails to do that. It tries very hard to deliver a big epic finale to the Antman trilogy, but given the recent introduction of the Multiverse in the MCU, the stakes have never felt lower; and they were already pretty low, since this is HOLLYWOOD BABY and no one can die, unless the merchandise stops selling! It tries to be fun and different, but fails most of the time; mostly due to some seriously cheesy jokes, terrible performances, an over-reliance on CGI and one of the most by-the-number scores of any Marvel movie ever. Not even the most ridiculous movie villain in history, Modok, manages to leave any kind of impression. It felt mostly like a mediocre 90s sci-fi movie, with a very conveluted, boring plot, and waaaaaaaaaaay too much subpar visual effects (especially Modok, who looks nothing like the actor he’s supposed to resemble).
Kang The Conqueror returns from Loki and delivers the best performance of the cast, but that’s not saying much. His character is still explained poorly, and especially his end-credits scene was cringe worthy. He makes for a much less intimidating foe than Thanos did, in the previous saga of movies, and even though I’ve read a fair amount of comics, I still have no idea what he’s trying to do in the MCU, or why he’s doing it. Not even Gregg Turkington’s cameo or the tie-in to his fake movie review show “Gregg Turkington’s Our Cinema At The Cinema Starring Tim Tiedecker”, can save this mess of a movie. The best parts are a couple of silly creature designs + the few scenes that wasn’t filmed in front of a blue screen; here, the actors feel more comfortable (maybe because they actually have an idea about what’s going on).

Worst part of the movie though, is how it completely fails to utilize it’s main characters and their powers; the shrinking/supersizing. There are a few scenes with it here and there, but it’s used inconsistently and doesn’t introduce any new cool ideas into the action, like the previous movies managed to do.
Sure, there are some kaiju-like fight sequences and a couple of big ants, but at this point, we’ve seen it all before. The steam is really running out of the Marvel engine, and Antman 3 is another nail in this slowly sinking coffin.… Expand

It’s worth watching once just to say you’ve seen it. Would I go back to it watch it again anytime soon?

No. Best part of the movie is when Hank Pym sees someone that looks like broccoli…I’ll leave it at that.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie is not as good as i accept, they didn't plot the character of kang properly, post credit scene doesn't match any reference that can be expected in future, i personally go to watch kang not ant man so, ya this is antman movie so any how he has to win in the end but Marvel needed to understand they can't sell so typical story in near future, i mean why even kang bother to kill jannet when he see her Fu*k, they ruin my favourite villian, power of kang are not explained properly, one time he use time to stop jannet but at other time he is using hand to hand fight with antman, in which antman being a thief show some real powerful punches to kang, which i think doesn't make any sense because kang is almost a Million year old guy how can someone like antman can puch him, he must had some really bad fight in past then how can ant man can even hit him, power of kang is ruined by writer I will recommend not to watch in theatre, waste of money, but one thing i like is Jonathan major role, he has done his job very properly, all my 5 rating is just for him
Thank you… Expand

Paul Rudd is still, mostly, the heart of the movie, but the actress that portrays his daughter lacks any charisma, and her path from a little girl into the next super-hero is a bit unclear.

Michelle Pfeiffer and Jonathan Majors are the only interesting characters in the movie, although I'm still not sure what are Kang's motives.

It's not a terrible movie, and a two hours run time makes the chaos easier to digest, but at the end, pretty forgettable.… Expand

I had low expectations going into this one. Following the mediocre reception, it was beginning to receive online, coupled with the fact that the MCU has been slowly but steadily declining and quality ever since the Infinity Saga ended, and my doubts and fears proved entirely correct, cause this was average in every way imaginable. Underwhelming story, cringey dialogue from beginning to end, hideous visual effects that simply can't be appreciated, especially in the wake of the newest 'Avatar', the list goes on and on. Rudd's his usual charming self here, and Lilly, Pfeiffer, and Douglas are both enjoyable to watch once again. Even Newton as Scott's daughter Cassie manages to hold her own pretty well here. Even Bill Murray drops in for a brief cameo in one scene, but it simply feels wasted when all's said and done. The real MVP here is Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror, whose character is set up in a very major way, especially during the two post-credit scenes. He gives a raw and totally solid performance that stands out better than anyone else in the film does. Unfortunately, not even this likable cast can save a lacking story with ugly visuals that I truly wish I never have to bear witness to again. Overall, it's unfortunately yet another step backwards for the MCU, and I truly feel as though it's golden days are well behind it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 55/100

Paul Rudd is funny up to a point because his humorous skills only go so far and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has put him to the test because while you can blame it on the script and the directing, I think it's more than proven that he's already gone as far as he can go, and I doubt there's more to do for him on this franchise.

This third installment of Ant-Man is colorful and fun. Another entry with more of the familiar Marvel Studios fare, but this is where you can already tell they're starting to hit a wall that they're being unable to climb over, and as the saying goes, all's well that ends well.
This is entertainment that doesn't do anything else beyond the time you're going to be sitting in the movie theater.

Kevin Feige has already shown his plan for the next three years, but the MCU has lost steam and I'm not quite sure what its future will look like heading into Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars.

The weight of this film's existence lies in putting Kang into perspective in a way that Loki was unable to.
The plot itself has no major relevance to other events. In fact, the real weight of Kang's entrance lies in the mid-credits scene, as Marvel did surprise me there by making the introduction of the council of Kangs so early with the appearances of Immortus and Rama-Tut, characters who I honestly didn't expect to see so early.
And that's pretty much the film's offering.

Also, we're in the fifteenth year of the MCU. So, you know very well where you stand. The ''This is not cinema'' argument is getting tiresome.… Expand

And I say that, going into this Marvel film with the utmost enthusiasm: I was hoping for an exciting start to phase 5 since we had such a dim and unfocused phase 4, but instead, we open with a whimper for this newest phase. Using Ant-Man to start off phase 5 seemed like a very interesting and safe choice as this was more of a “Marvel kick off” film than it was an actual “Ant-Man” film, if that makes sense.

The first noticeable issue with this film was in the visual effects. While there were a lot of cool and fun ideas, it’s clear that the visual effects weren’t given ample time to be worked in properly. Like most Marvel films with this issue, the visuals reflect how rushed and overworked the VFX teams are for these movies, being given little time to work properly. We were given a new character who came out looking worse than Mr. Electric from 2005’s “Sharkboy and Lavagirl.” I don’t know if making them look like that was intentional, but even if it was intentional… It still looked terrible. It seems like the visual effects in Marvel films are showing more and more fatigue similar to my ever-growing MCU fatigue.

Most of the performances were decent, though, said performances are weakened by the biggest most annoying issue with current Marvel movies which is the seemingly obsessive need to make every character a quippy-kooky-quirkster, and stuffing humor into scenes where humor doesn't belong. This phenomenon seems to be getting worse and worse with each piece of Marvel media that is released. I think “Quantumania” would have been better if there wasn’t so much forced, sitcomy humor undercutting all the action and drama… It just gets in the way. However, the main spot where this movie gets ANY real clean praise at all, would be with Jonathan Majors performance as Kang: My dude delivered in every aspect especially when compared to other performances (Kathryn Newton was lookin’ kinda stiff out there) and being this films saving grace. Kang was big and menacing and even a bit sympathetic at some points, establishing himself as a solid antagonist for the MCU.

"Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" isn’t a bad movie, but boy-howdy, is it underwhelming. Watching events unfold in this film was like watching someone play a videogame on easy mode for the first 2/3 until the last 1/3 of the film where the pause button is pushed, and the difficulty setting is switched to hard mode only because the steaks had to be higher because it was the end of the movie. If this is how we're starting a MCU phase, then I'm kinda worried for the rest of Phase 5 and Phase 6. Hopefully things pick up a bit in the next few shows/movies.

5/10, the score would be lower had it not been for Jonathan Majors’ performance as Kang.… Expand

Like the one of the mother never talking about the realm or Kang. that makes no sens. And suddenly, you can breath in that realm. Murray is a glorified cameo. The acting is unequal. The best one is Kang actor and by far. Mordok was just poor, in terms of the who, the how. The humour is almost absent. I missed Luis and his gang. The CGI is nice, but of course, is done in a dark setting from beginning to end. Better rendering time I guess, but it didn't help to clarify the scenes and the actions. The music is good, and the sounds really decent. I give it 62%. A CGI fest with a lot of holes in the story. For me the weakest of the Ant-man.… Expand

I am a big fan of Ant-Man, and I like most of the MCU content generally. This here is a decent MCU film, a great new expansion of Ant-Man lore, and the introduction (or re-introduction) of an exciting new character.

That being said, I found some parts of the story to be more difficult to digest. Janet works hard to justify herself in how she never bothered to tell everyone about "The Conqueror". And the Conqueror himself sure explains a lot about his multiversal conflict. This is of course the MCU talking to us, the audience, through this film. But i find this sort of thing more and more obvious, and it makes the film feel less like an Ant-Man film, and more about a "what you need to know about" film. It's like the movie is retconning itself sometimes. This is nothing new for recent MCU content, they do that more and more. But for an Ant-Man film, it's a bit disappointing.

The movie is also set 95% in the Quantum Realm, where almost everything is CGI. To me it looked great, but I won't argue against someone with the opposite opinion. CGI landscapes can feel grand, just like they can feel empty. They can look fake, or beautiful. Sometimes it's both.

I am also a fan of Modok, generally speaking. I liked seeing this version of him in the film, and I enjoyed the explanation behind it. But I feel like it's a bit of a waste. The movie would be the same without him, basically.

I felt a bit confused at the end of the film however. Perhaps i was a bit tired, but near the end I felt like i had missed a scene and suddenly it was ending. I don't want to give too many spoilers, so I cannot say too much.… Expand

Ant-Man/Scott Lang was not a good choice for this story. The first two Ant-Man movies were perfect, great premise and villain fitting for Ant-Man. The villain Kang finally got a good representation in this movie compared to how he was shown previously in a Disney MCU TV series. However this movie kind of ruined his reputation as he was contending against Ant-Man where it felt like he should have faced the Avengers.

Scott Lang's daughter recast was not a good choice, her acting was a bit off and the character personality was really off putting. Overall, it is the worst movie of the Ant-Man trilogy - just another addition to the pile of B-Tier level movie quality releases post Endgame.… Expand

Maybe if you have not seen all the previous Marvel movies you might find this interesting and with good action and scenes, but after seeing all previous Marvel movies this just seems bland and not much new. Especially if you know about KangMaybe if you have not seen all the previous Marvel movies you might find this interesting and with good action and scenes, but after seeing all previous Marvel movies this just seems bland and not much new. Especially if you know about Kang already, then the formula for the movie is very simple, and whats more - all the scenes look very similar too. And even with all that I am not sure if I am not giving it higher rating that it should receive, but giving it 6, given that the movie as a standalone seems decent, but they are using same Marvel formula once again.… Expand

Bien, demasiado CGI para mí, una película entretenida, parece que Marvel vuelve a lo Marvel, cosa que guay, pero a mi no me molestaba el cambio, aunque entiendo que a la mayoría no. Se presentan cosas grandotas, mola mola.

· Cosas buenas:Bien, demasiado CGI para mí, una película entretenida, parece que Marvel vuelve a lo Marvel, cosa que guay, pero a mi no me molestaba el cambio, aunque entiendo que a la mayoría no. Se presentan cosas grandotas, mola mola.

· Cosas buenas: las actuaciones son muy buenas, sobre todo Kang y Janet, a parte de los actores, las actuaciones se comen la pantalla. El mundo cuántico da mucho juego, aunque se parezca demasiado a Star Wars. Todo lo que se presenta va a molar mucho.
· Cosas malas: como ya dije, demasiado CGI para mi gusto, aunque es buen CGI. MODOK no me convenció en absoluto, casi que metido con calzador. Ant-Man para presentar toda esta nueva fase puede que le venga grande.
· Conclusión: Marvel vuelve a ser Marvel, si te gustaba, te encantará, si querías el cambio, te puede valer. Buena presentación de la nueva fase, se vienen cosas grandes.… Expand

This film had a lot of strange elements, some of which worked and others which really, truly didn't. But, the cgi and art direction were inspired, making it at least entertaining to see.

But, the cgi and art direction were inspired, making it at least entertaining to see. The humorous timing and tone swings were more misses than hits, and the stakes never felt truly real. Really, it feels almost entirely pointless and is incredibly predictable the entire time.… Expand

Car beaucoup d’incohérences, de questions, Mais ne soyons pas trop dur .
Mention spéciale pour le méchant du film Qui aide à relever le premier degres du film sans humour à la Marvel En espérant que les GDL GALAXIE 3 suivre le même exemple !!… Expand

Ant-Man and Wasp is just mediocre. It’s not a bad film but you know it was made to tick a box. If it’s playing in the background while you’re getting high, the visuals are pretty good!

Decent film nothing out of this world. Connects this movie with what will be the up and coming movies in the mcu. Corny jokes per usual, the acting was middle of the road nothing special besides Jonathan majors as the conquer. Jonathan wasDecent film nothing out of this world. Connects this movie with what will be the up and coming movies in the mcu. Corny jokes per usual, the acting was middle of the road nothing special besides Jonathan majors as the conquer. Jonathan was the bright spot to this film and made it watchable whilst the other characters the Modok were not enjoyable. If you enjoy marvelous movies and want to continue with watching them you will have to see this. Other note as well is the cgi at time was amazing and captivated your attention while othe times it was flat out bad and unnecessary to look the way it does.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hey guys, I just caught "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" and to be honest, it was just okay. But let me tell you, Jonathan Majors absolutely killed it as Kang! He was so amazing that I can't wait to see more of him in future Marvel movies.

The story was kind of convoluted and all over the place, and it just didn't hit the same levels of excitement and innovation as some of the recent Marvel hits. But hey, it still had plenty of action, laughs, and that classic Marvel charm.

I gotta say, the chemistry between the lead characters was still going strong. And they did a great job of incorporating the Quantum Realm into the plot, which was a really unique element.

Overall, if you're a big Marvel fan like me, you'll still enjoy "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania." It may not be the best in the franchise, but it's definitely worth a watch for Jonathan Majors' standout performance as Kang. Can't wait to see what he brings to the table in future MCU films!… Expand

I'd say it's enjoyable, but after I watched it I felt empty (I watched once. Don't know if the movie would feel better or worse on a subsequent watch). What I thought was missing: the cast from the two previous films like Scott Lang's crew, his ex-wife and even her new husband. Also, a bit more time outside of the Quantum Realm because, even though the visuals and the designs of the realm are impressive, the movie becomes overloaded with the typical "green screen", CGI background. The technology has come a long way, but it's not perfect yet. Actors still somewhat stand out against the background giving it a minor "fake" vibe. What I liked: Some of the combat scenes are interesting and some set pieces as well aside from the usual charm of most of the actors. What I didn't like: 1 - Kang falls flat. He's not menacing or nuanced and the actor, who many people are hyping up, to me, is competent, but I didn't see anything impressive on screen. I wasn't "fooled into thinking I was seeing a multiversal threat", the illusion was broken, because I was simply seeing an actor "doing acting stuff, using acting techniques", you know what I mean?; 2 - The humor: didn't work for me most of the time. Don't know if I was desensitized at the time, but I didn't burst out laughing. I can say I had at most minor chuckles when I "recognized" a joke sometimes. But fear not; it doesn't make the same mistake as Love and Thunder by going 100 jokes a minute. In sum: not a great start for phase 5, but I wouldn't say Marvel Fans or Regular moviegoers should necessarily skip it you can still have a reasonably good time. This is not She-Hulk, which yes, you should definitely skip.… Expand

The rebel buildings are cool, but the plot is lacking and none of the supposed emotional moments landed.
