'I enjoyed [the movie] and had fun. But it really feels like a movie that’s more in the service of Kang and the broader MCU rather than an Ant-Man movie.' AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania More in this review:
I suppose before we go any further, a warning is in order. If you have, at some point in the last six months, felt fatigued by: superhero movies, CG spectacles, multiverse narratives, or the unnecessary need for a truly hyper-connected inter-weaving cross-title cross-media continuity, then you would do well to avoid this latest offering, billed as the “kick-off of Marvel Phase 5.”
Once I was able to separate myself from all the stuff surrounding my feelings about yet another superhero movie, thenbecame a mostly enjoyable, if very flawed, movie-going experience. It delivers on loads of fun. Coherence, sometimes. Great character work? For sure. Oh, and yeah, for the fanboys focused on continuity, all the set-up your hearts desire.
Not that it’s exceptionally well-constructed. Sad to say that, at least for the first act of the film where we are introduced to the realm and its inhabitants, it feels very squarely in the same kind of imagined spaces as say,movies, and, well, just riffs on Mos Eisley. There’s a little more silliness thrown in, which I like. But given a blank canvas and all the visual effects technology available, it just felt a little too “normal” or expected.
