It was really fun in the theater, but after it ended and I thought about it I realized how sloppy the writing was. And even in the theater I got annoyed by Pfeiffer refusing to tell her family any useful information about the quantum realm for reasons.

And Im pissed they ruined Modok.

i don't even know what to say about modok. whose decision was that lmao.

it wasn't horrible but if this is one of the better recent ones, then that definitely lowers my expectations of the rest i've missed. though after watching eternals, my bar got very low anyway.

It wasnt as bad as people say but it definitely wasnt that good.

Majors as Kang was great, cant wait to see more of him.

No Luis was a fucking crime. Putting 95% of the movie in the QR was dumb, Ant-Man movies are smaller scale stories filled with great comedy, this might as well be a completely standalone movie instead of a threequel.

I dont know how anybody can say with a straight face that it was good.

Ill grant that it was better than Spider-Man 3, but other than that, easily worst Spider-Man film.

The part where Garfield saves MJ was pretty good, but everything else about it was overloaded with pure hammy fan service and nostalgia bait.

Not defending Quantumania because I definitely like it less every time I think of it, but QR is as small scale as it can get ;p
Really wish Loveness leaned into his physics/metaphysics and pushed Ant Man even smaller instead of relying on the Ant Family and Pyms super ants to close the story.

Cassie saying "well you know .. Quantum" was almost lazy writing as ROSs " somehow palpatine has returned.

Also her actress is not a good fit. Movie needed to end in a dark, dramatic if it indeed wanted to be taken seriously as the next step in the story.

That said there was some good stuff in it

Seriously this. The whole premise relied on Michelle Pfiefer's character being a total dumbass.

Don't even get me started on how much of a disappointment Kang the Conrquerer was. The movie tells you over and over and over again how much of a badass he is and why we should fear him...and yet he never delivers. He literally loses to ants and somehow forgets he has the ability to vaporize his enemies.

Which sucks because I honestly felt Michelle Pfiefer and Jonathan Majors were the only 2 actors that put any effort in their acting. Everyone else honestly felt like they just half assed it.

There was some cool ideas in it and some great looking CGI backdrops, but my god was it a giant mess of a movie. Multiverse of Madness is another example of a messy script as well but had Sami Raimism to at least do something different from what other MCU movies have done.

  • the first two Ant-Man movies worked because they were smaller-scale (pun intended) - fate-of-the-universe stakes was an odd fit for a solo movie about a dude who can make himself tiny and big, and is typically comic relief in team-up movies.
  • Cassie suddenly being a quantum tech genius stretches the bounds of plausibility
  • Janet keeping secrets from everyone because the plot needs to happen
  • the MCU had one shot at a Bill Murray cameo and they wasted it on...this
  • weird attempts to force drama: "Oh no, I can't believe they killed Cannon Head, he was totally my favorite character!"
  • I'm not usually one to harp on CGI, but the movie did have more than its fair share of shots of actors obviously standing around bored in a greenscreen room.
  • who on the production staff honestly looked at MODOK and said "good job, that's fit to print?"
  • cop-out ending


That's about all I can muster. I didn't hate the movie nor would I call it terrible, but overall it was a resounding 'ehhhhh...' I can't speak for everyone, but my lack of enthusiasm for the movie also means that it doesn't stir enough emotions positive or negative to motivate me into a deep-dive analysis. It simply wasn't a very good movie, which in any other context would be passable; but it bodes ill for the coming phases if this was supposed to be big bad Kang's dramatic entrance on the silver screen.

The dialogue. The overuse of CGI. The phoned in performances. Michael Douglass looking super uncomfortable with all the pure green-screen acting. The lack of development for the main characters. The lack of consequences + back-to-status-quo ending. The fact Kang's first true introduction has him losing to fuckin' Scott Lang. Pretty much everything with Modok. Everything with Bill Murray. Half of Janet's screentime being her saying "I can't explain the plot yet, guys!" Wasting William Jackson Harper.

It's just really bad. Not as bad as Thor 4, but still super exhausting to get through.

I'll give you credit for not thinking Black Panther is great. I know I'm in the minority but I think it's bottom of the barrel. Other than that, you're gonna tell me Ant Man and Doctor Strange are at least 8/10? They are both the definition of middle of the road. No ones favorite movies. Also, let's not forget that Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 are in Phase 2. And as much as I think they're full of shit, a lot of people hate Avengers 2 for whatever reason. So phase 2 has, at best, a 50% hit rate. Phase 3 is around 50% as well including what I mentioned above.

Outside of Thor 4 (even the hate for it is overblown) I cannot comprehend most of the hate any of the phase 4 movies get. Black Widow is a bit uneven but the core family drama and actor chemistry easily carries the movie. Eternals has a lot going on but, again, the core story is some super cool golden age scifi stuff. MoM, I think people just had wild expectations for what they thought the movie was and are upset at the movie for some reason for being wrong.

7/10 = Ant-Man / Age of Ultron / Dr Strange / Homecoming / Black Panther / Eternals
6/10 = Captain America / Wakanda Forever
5/10 = Iron Man 2 / Iron Man 3 / Captain Marvel / Dr Strange 2
4/10 = Thor 2 / Black Widow / Far From Home
3/10 = Thor / Ant-Man 2
2/10 = Quantamania
1/10 = Love and Thunder

objectively speaking
(overall, I'd say phase 2 > 3 > 1 > 4)

Relies way too heavily on characters hiding information because audience isnt ready to learn. The mom very blatantly withholding information is frustrating. The daughter waiting until the 3rd brush with death to use her suit makes rewatch worse.

The infinite Scotts was cool but outside of that they didnt lean hard enough into weird quantum physics. Most of movie just felt like an alien planet.

Modoks change of heart was the cringiest dialogue, served no necessary plot point, and was inconsistent with character history. Scott lampshading that its bad scene isnt funny. Write better scenes.

If you set up the climatic turning point to be a sacrifice then its unsatisfying when in the end nothing was sacrificed.

Kang losing really hurts his threat level. Thanos had minions lose but he didnt lose himself for several movies.

Let me preface the following by saying that I haven't taken a stance on the allegations against Majors because I'm waiting for due process to run it's course and hopefully see him vindicated or punished justly. Having gotten that out of the way, it did strike me as funny that Majors' best acting in the movie was as a guy trying reeeeaaalllly hard to hold in a bad temper.
