“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”: Disappointment
On February 15, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania, the first film in the fifth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was released worldwide.
The film’s story centers on Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), who rose to prominence after the events of Avengers: Endgame. He enjoys it and his relationship with Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), not forgetting his daughter Cassie (Katherine Newton). The latter shows an active interest in scientific research related to the quantum world. Cassie even managed to create a beacon that allows you to make contact with the quantum world.
And it turns out that someone over there really wants to see Lang and his loved ones, when they are all forcibly transferred to the quantum dimension. Now the task of Ant-Man and the Wasp is to figure out what is happening in the world they do not understand. And how Kang, the future main supervillain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is connected to all this.
At the time of release, the film has a 48% positive review on Rotten Tomatoes. This is one of the worst results among the feature films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Only the Eternals have less – 47%.
The picture is scolded for the chaotic action scenes, where you can’t really see anything, and the lack of good jokes. Although the first two parts of Ant-Man stood out precisely for their humor. Observer critic Emily Zemler called the film one of Marvel’s most boring and optional films.
