Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)

The film felt underwhelming on a second watch but I still enjoyed the overall experience. As a 100% VFX heavy movie, there’s some pretty impressive visual effects and also some questionable effects as well. Unfortunately the script was mediocre with poorly written dialogues that devoid of emotion. The film was unnecessarily too long and slow pacing. Probably another victim of MCU’s mandatory 2 hour runtime stipulation. I’m not against the idea, but without a solid script and a creative direction there’s nothing else to do that can make a movie entertaining that long. I understand the negative reaction to this movie, even though I liked it. All I can say is that this one is miles better than the trainwreck called, Thor: Love and Thunder.

I like Kathryn Newton but I agree her performance was sort of lackadaisical in this movie. In my opinion she delivered a satisfying performance. But I can’t say the same about Paul Rudd, his performance was kinda sloppy most of the time. I think the age is catching up to him. Jonathan Majors gave a satisfying performance than his other cast mates. Also it turns out this is probably his first and final portrayal of Kang in an MCU film.
