CRITICS CONSENSUS 51%
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania mostly lacks the spark of fun that elevated earlier adventures, but Jonathan Majors' Kang is a thrilling villain poised to alter the course of the MCU.

The critics I usually like to listen to didn’t hate it. They didn’t exactly love it either though.

As much as I love Marvel I do think they went very easy on some past entries. It’s possible the goodwill has run out. Or this one could just be that bad. We’ll find out soon, I guess. |

50% now, based on 192 reviews.
I think Bob Iger should have just left the movie alone and allowed Reed to make the more dramatic story he wanted to tell.

Word was they did the same thing to Raimi’s Dr Strange. They really need to just let these directors cook without micromanaging so much. |

Iger didn't think the existing film was on-brand enough for Ant-Man and wanted more jokes to feel in-line with the last two entries and the other recent output by Marvel Studios, instead of letting a serious story be told with an otherwise outlandish character. |

Hmmm. These guys really need to learn to be a bit more hands off. If Thor 4 taught us anything it’s that everyone is getting tired of the humor first approach. |

49%?! Jesus H. Christ.
Ant-Man 2 somehow has an 87% and I thought that was awful.
Who the hell knows anymore?

There's no way this is worse than Love and Thunder. No way.

First the complaints are that there's too much comedy, now it's that this isn't funny enough. Yeesh.

How do you know it was even good before the re-shoots? Directors writers, and actors are not infallible. |

It’s better than the 51%. I’ve just seen it and it’s on par with the other Ant-Man films. It actually comes off as a traditional comic book movie rather than a science fiction one. It’s not the best, but good enough. 8/10 for Jonathan Majors’s performance alone.

It’s not as good as Dr Strange 2…the bellwether for Phase Four…but it’s a cohesive whole and entertaining enough that sticks to old fashioned Marvel tropes, not Disneyfied ones. |

Any theories on why critics seem to be giving it such a dismal score compared to the first two Antman movies? It's now sitting at 48%. |

This one at least appears that it’s trying to be interesting and creative. I already give it more credit based on the trailers alone. I only watched it once and couldn't stand it. Definitely bland. Nothing of any interest or consequence whatsoever. I also hate that it tries to redeem the villain. I'm so fucking tired of that overused trick. One of the few MCU movies I outright dislike. I cannot fathom how it has such a high score. |
