I love FilmSpeak because when he has controversial takes like this, I either think he has the best taste ever or the worst.

Hope's Wasp actually willingly went back to the quantum realm twice, once in the beginning to save Hank & Janet then at the end to help Scott to defeat Kang. Plus, she didn't hesitate a bit to dive into the possibility storm to save Scott. This shows how heroic her character has become.

This is why I love your channel man. I never know what to expect your thoughts on a movie will be. I'm so glad you enjoyed ant-man 3, I personally enjoyed it a lot more than most, and while I think it isn't anything super special, I think it's in the better half of the MCU. It's always so cool hearing you express your thoughts on a film with how you back up all your opinions. Good shit, keep it up!

I really liked this movie! Despite its noticeable flaws, I REALLY liked it for what is was

My biggest problem with the movie was that Kang appeared 1 hour into the movie, with a 15-minute heist and a 40-minute third act. But when I came home I showed my wife "The Wizard of Oz" for the first time and I knew Marvel compares Kang to the wizard and I realized it's very similar: A few minutes in the real world, get sucked in the world, being received into the world by strangers we spend a little too much time with. We hear about the "wizard or conqueror", we see familiar faces but playing other characters. The wizard appears very late in the movie just to send the protagonist on a 15-minute quest and after that, a third act that shows the wizard is only human, but through a very simple solution the protagonist goes back home. It made me appreciate the movie and I'm excited to see it again.

It is so good to hear somebody else say some good things about this movie! I actually really liked it as well, and can’t understand the hate it’s getting. It’s not perfect, not many of these things are, but it isn’t nearly as bad as everyone seems to think it is. Thanks for sharing!

I do agree that there’s a lot of deeper context between decisions like Janet not opening up about her experiences in the Quantum Realm, but unfortunately the film doesn’t take time to explore those concepts too much. It’s too plot heavy and nothing else.

I'll never dislike a Paul Rudd movie. They always entertain me

Thank you for this. Thought I was going crazy with how much I loved this film versus other’s outsized and hyperbolic response. View it as the ultimate Ant-Man film, and now the most underrated MCU movie.

While I respect your opinion on Quantumania, and I am genuinely glad to see many people enjoying it, this movie was a solid mixed to negative for me. For me, this movie felt empty and as a whole was a disjointed mess, but this issue is a symptom of a much larger problem I am having with the entire MCU right now. This issue with Quantumania is an issue that doomed the first Ant Man and the Wasp for me and may ultimately doom the Multiverse Saga as a whole. And Please get comfortable because I have a lot to say about this, and let me preface this comment/essay/rant by saying that I have nothing against MCU fans who care the most about the big Avengers or Endgame-level events. These big interconnected crossover events are a perfectly great reason to keep up with this franchise, and these types of MCU projects are able to combine the interests of those who care about connectivity and those who value character focused stories into something truly special that we can all enjoy. With all that out of the way though, my biggest problem with the MCU that Quantumania has further solidified is the sense that Marvel is afraid of making smaller, self-contained, and character-focused stories. With the first Ant Man and the Wasp, Multiverse of Madness, and now Quantumania, it feels like Marvel is trying to appease the MCU fans who complained about the first Ant-Man, the first Dr. Strange, and the earlier films of Phase 4 not being relevant enough to the wider saga or not connected enough to the rest of the universe. In the first Ant-Man and the Wasp, you can feel Marvel trying to force in connections to the rest of Phase 3 and set up for Endgame by making the plot completely dependent on the events of Civil War, and constantly reminding the audience within the movie of how it is connected to Civil War. It also uses the quantum realm as just exposition for how the heroes can time travel in Endgame rather than further exploring its mechanics or hinting at its importance as a location in the wider Ant-Man trilogy. Then with Multiverse of Madness, Marvel gave into the complaints about how Dr. Strange’s first solo movie was pointless and how Phase 4 at that point wasn’t building up to the next big event fast enough by having Strange’s next magical adventure and next step in development as a character take a backseat to exposition for the Multiverse Saga. It is seems that at the last minute, Marvel cut out a second act that focused on a self-contained story about how the multiverse pertained to the mystic arts and replaced it hollow with a showcase of all the characters Disney had gotten the rights to back from Fox and empty set up for Secret Wars. And now with Quantumania, Marvel gave into the complaints about the first two Ant-Man movies by removing Luis and the other core side characters that this vocal section of the fans thought were too annoying and pointless. Then they sidelined Ant-Man and the remaining cast in their own movie so we can waste no time getting to Kang and set-up for the rest of the saga. When I was watching Quantumania in theaters, it felt like there was a first act about Scott, Cassie, and the Pyms as a family and a second act about world building for the people of the quantum realm that were completely cut out as to not distract from the all-important set up for Kang Dynasty. Even Kang, for all Marvel held back to keep the spotlight on, wasn’t a character but rather just exposition for how he will eventually become the next big bad of the MCU. The best parts of Quantumania for me were the first five to ten minutes that focused on the new dynamic of the Pyms as a family, and MODOK. MODOK was the best character because he was the only one who had a true arc and development, but those are the only two notable aspects about this movie for me. As someone who’s personal favorite MCU movie is the first Ant-Man, I was cautiously optimistic about Quantumania because the final trailer presented it as a self-contained arc for Scott about the loss of time with his family during the blip. But as I said before, it feels like that version of the movie was cut up and cobbled back together as this empty information dump at the last minute. The only reason Quantumania didn’t ruin the legacy of the Ant-Man trilogy is because the first Ant-Man and the Wasp already did that for me. The point in all this is that I believe Marvel is listening to the fans who just want relevance and connectivity to the wider MCU too much. Like I said though, I have nothing against these MCU fans, and it’s okay that we all value different things out of this great cinematic universe. But Marvel shouldn’t change movies like Quantumania that were clearly meant as more self-contained stories to only the standards of these fans, just as they shouldn’t change interconnected movies to fans like me who value standalone projects. This strategy of editing and reshooting regular releases to make them more connected and relevant to the wider saga just leaves all sections of fans frustrated by a final product that is poorly made and disjointed. It is also the self-contained character moments for these different heroes in the MCU that give the true weight to events like Infinity War and Endgame more so than the spectacle and the interconnected universe gimmick. Phase 4 early on actually took its time with more self-contained and character-focused stories in its first few films. I know Black Widow, Eternals, and Love and Thunder were not great, but at least they tried to put their value into the individual film rather than just riding the hype of being a piece of the next big event. But ever since No Way Home, an example of a movie that pleases all sections of the fandom by building its returning characters and set-up for the wider overarching story around a more-self contained arc for Holland’s Peter by the way, Marvel seems to be rushing right into the next Endgame-level event with no time for of the moments in between. This harms Multiverse Saga because this mindset seems to be the reason why the next official Avengers crossover-type event is Kang Dynasty at the very end of the Saga, and the buildup to this is relegated to regular releases like Quantumania and Multiverse of Madness being hijacked to give exposition. Marvel should have had Phase 4 and Phase 5 build up to smaller Avengers movie that can rightfully be dedicated to building the next big event, but it seems that this didn’t happen out of fear of damaging the Avengers brand by having their next installment be a less than Endgame-level experience. I know I have said a lot in this reaction to Quantumania, but it brought my current issues with the MCU so far to the forefront that I really needed to get all this off my chest. And again, I very respectfully disagree with your thoughts and I am genuinely happy to see that you and many fans are loving this movie.

I was not hyped for this movie but I saw it in IMAX, my jaw wasn't dropped but I had a good time. I found the family theme heartwarming. All the main characters care about each other immensely and that drives most of their decisions. I also noticed the mcus obsession with suits. The armor and suits in Wakanda Forever looked so bad, but the ant suits are so freaking cool. I agree with the cartoon vibe, and I think it was a major reason for it being fun. The green screen was not jarring to me compared to MODOKs face...

It's so good to see that someone else also loved Quantumania as much as I did.

I walked away feeling like it’s my favorite Marvel film of all time, I know that’s not really the case, but in the moment. That’s how exciting it was to see after all the recent Marvel content I did not like. My wife and kids also thoroughly enjoyed themselves, which says a lot; since they are not typically fans. Great video and review!

Finally somebody said it. It was a masterpiece. A genre defining work of art for a new generation. Beauty and joy, humanity and soul distilled in it's purest form. I cried for almost an hour after all of my 5 viewings.

Next video: Why Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey is Perfect!

FINALLY. In my opinion it wasn’t perfect but I loved it. I would’ve changed some dialogue and the ending a little bit but I loved it

You are my favorite channel to watch when we have stark opposite thoughts on a movie. Love your insights and points that bring more light to stuff that I didn’t feel. Much love to ya!

I disagree

THANK YOU! Glad to know I'm not alone! The only thing I felt it was missing was Louis and Gang, I feel they sort of are part of the antman heart. I also think it would have been a better ending if they were stuck in the Quantum Land, or at least be harder for Scott and Hope to get out.

I feel most people missed the fact that this is a world building movie. It’s a movie building up kang as a threat. It’s not a movie like civil war, or no way home. This movie is to build a world around the quantum realm. It gives us more insight into it. And lots of people were using endgame expectations for every coward movie, and for that reason, some people didn’t like it. But me personally, I loved it!

Man how low is the bar that people just Accept Mediocrity phase 4 is atrocious and ant man 4 was a waste of time.

The type of mental gymnastics you have to do to make this movie sound good is admirable but the plot and visual are terrible the expectations we’re not met

Every teenage girl in the mcu is just a genius now

I loved this film, I saw it in 3D Imax and was blown away. It's simply objectively a visual treat in iMax, no way around that. Guarantee most of these people hating in comments haven't even seen the movie properly or saw a shxtty phone recorded in a theatre stream with casino ads all over the screen. Also, most of the critiques of this movie are just flat-out wrong. This movie has gotten criticized over more plot holes that don't exist than I ever saw before. And the level of petty with the reviews, I heard people question why Cassie wanted a lime after going Giant so thy dropped it down a grade I'm like wtf, I do not remember people wondering how Hawkeye and Black Widow could breathe on Vormir for instance of being petty. Like people are not even giving this movie a chance. And that's sad because it delivered on all on fronts imo and the highlight of the movie is not just Majors but the entire cast acting their asses off and having real chemistry. So many great subtle moments in this film like when Kang captures Scott and Cassie and Scott turns to Cassie and says 4th time in jail how about you, harkening back to the convo right before getting sucked in, and she gives him a mean look before softening her face into a heartfelt smile. The negativity over such a feel-good film is just alarming. I thought somebody was going to die in this movie but by the end of the movie, I was hoping not because I love the family dynamics too much. I knew Modok would turn on Kang the moment Scott said Darren and you see the crack in the armor, Cassie said Dad it's the bee guy and Darren smiled and said Cassie I almost didn't recognize you. When Kang told Modok to kill Cassie, Modok gave Janet a regretful look, and when he saw Cassie he clearly was not shooting to kill. Modok death scene is one of the funniest moments in MCU history. I said it. It's hilarious. Hank's face when he told Scott we were like brothers, the fact they all ran back actually and didn't sincerely want to help Modok, Scott telling Modok he's in and can die an Avengers. The whole movie was leading up Scott to proving himself worthy of being an Avenger with how he was waving that flag the whole film and he delivered or at least tried.

Finally someone gets it. This is film about family, an all consuming burden of responsibility, PTSD, Colonialism, and dealing with familial trauma via overcoming impossible odds through shared unity.

I went to see Antman Quantum Mania this past week. I had a blast & enjoyed the film very much. I love the entire Antman Family, Kang made for a great villain, Modok was a lot of fun & is now my new favorite Avenger. 🤣🤣🤣 I came home to check the reviews for the film, only to find out the internet deemed the film as some sort of criminal act committed against humanity and "Will make you hate movies".🤣🤣🤣 Its just a fun superhero movie. I think Hypercriticism & Hyperbole might be the real plague here.

This movie was bad imo.

I'm glad I'm not alone for liking this film. This guy gets it for sure!!

I really found myself enjoying the movie. My gripe with it is that it just tries too much, so much so that none of the story's aspects feel truly satisfying. I love the rich and interesting world, they created with the quantum realm. I loved all that this world had to offer (i.e. our hole goop and his friends). I looooooove Kang/Jonathan Majors, I liked the family dynamics, and I even liked Darren as M.O.D.O.K. . However, at the end of the movie I felt myself wishing they had spent more time to explore and focus on all these things more. It's just too much for one movie. I just was really sad, that we had to basically leave all the things behind, which made the film special, in the end. I do wish they had gone with M.O.D.O.K. as the main antagonist, as they had originally planned to. I also would have liked to see them spend more time exploring what Janet not telling them, has done to the family. It was brushed off too easily for my taste. And I wish they had introduced Kang in a "part 2" movie, in which they focus more on the conflict within Scott, due to missing so much of his daughter's life. The idea/offer of getting time back, to spend it with his family, is alluring and tempting. Wish they had introduced a "real", relatable inner conflict for Scott, so we can see him evolve by being confronted with the consequences of his choices.

You first simped hard on Avatar 2 and now this!?

I grew up watching the late 70's 80's Hollywood classics and although my tastes have expanded I find myself coming back to Marvel movies. This one hit it in the head for me, it really felt like watching an old school Hollywood adventure for me, it made me feel like a child again 🙂 side note I watched it in 3d, and it looked amazing at times but I think the artists didn't go far enough given the overall imagery of the film.

I really enjoyed Ant-man Quantumania. I thought the story was good. I loved Khang and I think it was a great start to phase 5.

I honestly love how time is the big theme throughout this movie and the others. I also like how this movie’s tone was more mature than that of the first two considering all that happened in Endgame. I don’t think this is the best MCU film of all time, but I’m excited for Kang and how Ant-Man & Wasp will factor into the next Avengers movies.

Did i care about the quantum civilisation? No Did i care about Scott? No Did i care about anyone making it alive or not? No Was i impressed by Kang? Not particularly. I mean he was fine, but in this movie it’s not a villain that really stands out from many others the mcu had before. I watched and thought “yeah it was entertaining” i guess, but i felt nothing leaving the theatre. I was not excited to see a future ant man movie, i was not worried for the characters at any moment or rooting for them, like i used to be with other characters. It felt like eating a burger at mcdonald’s. Decent thing to consume if you are hungry, but an experience you forget almost immediately after you leave the restaurant. I

I enjoyed the film a lot! However, I only saw maybe 2 or 3 commercials before going to go see the movie and also having MCU movie fatigue going in to see the movie, I was surprised that I got that warm fuzzy feeling and having fun while watching a MCU film something I haven’t felt in years with the MCU. I also got spy kids vibes at time of the movie.

BRUV! I'm so excited to find someone who enjoys this movie and Ant-Man in general! Me and partner have been trippin ab it and how much people hate it. Thanx for sticking up for the little guy! 🤘🏾❤️

I loved this movie. Thanks for making this video showing it some love. I might always agree with your opinions Filmspeak but I always respect how you explain them. That being said I do mostly agree with a lot of your opinions. Great video

I really enjoy this review, it goes deeper into the story and motivations than just its good/its bad/ants beat Kang. I enjoyed it, much more than L&T, and it sets up Kang as a presence. Also your background music was in my head driving after watching it

Speaking of Spy Kids I’d rather George Lopez be MODOK. His role in Shark Bog and Lava Girl was like a proto-MODOK

im convinced filmspeak didnt watch the same movie , antman 3 is much worse

What i like about him is he represents the people who likes cinema/movies in general. Most people have VERY diverse taste in movies. You can like Citizen Kane and Spiceworld at the same time. Bad example, but you know...

Lovely video bro and I love your choices in music. Would you be able to give a list of the music you’ve put here in this video? I love it.

Your videos feel like events bro! And I love that your not afraid to speak your mind when it comes to opinions on movies. I loved your Avatar 2 video and I completely agreed cos I love that film so much, and same with Ant Man! I really enjoyed it , I just wish there was more Kang! Keep up the great work!

Yes my guy you are the man. Everyone like the video so it gets to more people. This movie doesn’t deserve all the hate! 7.5/10 great movie!

I love the deep analysis of the complex character narrative and interactions, but the problem is it that it came off really shallow and rushed in the film

Something else I love about how we see Hank's progression is that while we see he's still recognizable as Hank Pym, we can tell he got the message from the last movie, where most of the plot was people telling him how much an arrogant dickhead he was, so he has been becoming a nicer person.

Your the same guy that said the black widow movie was top tier right??

Bro tryna gaslight us💀

The writer said he didn't want Kang to defeat Ant-man & the Wasp because it would be too much like Thanos defeating all the Avengers in Infinity Wars. Instead, we saw the Wasp blasting him to the quantum core in an awesome scene. However, Kang the Conqueror will survive and he's actually going to be an even stronger Kang upon his return.

I think the MCU might be setting up Ant Man to be what Iron Man was in the infinity saga, or at least a similar central character. I think by the end of the Multiverse saga, Scott will end up making a huge sacrifice in order to save the MCU and he will be the central character.

Quantamania us not the worst MCU film. But i am worried about what your opinion on winter solder is lol. It's easily withing top 5 even top 3 for me.

Thank you for this. I thought this film was one hell of a way to start the new phase. Kang was great, as was Scott as always. Cassie was the biggest surprise for me, as I saw no trailers and went in blind, was shocked at what was done with her. I felt this film set lots of things in motion, similar to Age of Ultron (which to me gets better and better the more I’ve understand how important its events are). And as a bonus, they even redeemed Darren Cross. The messages you pointed out were also lovely. I had no complaints with this film and feel it’s being hated WAY TOO MUCH. Oh well, proceed on, MCU. Again, many thanks for giving the perspective I feel we all needed to hear.

18:07 -Guardians is space opera like flash Gordon or star wars OT -Ragnorak is 80's space fantasy like he man or dune or specifically a new hope and return of the Jedi. Empire strikes back is more space opera. Love and thunder doubles down and is very much like he man -quantumania is science fiction/adventure like the dune film from the 1970's or journey to the center of the earth or a new hope

I discovered your channel with your Avatar videos. Instant sub. It’s refreshing to have different takes that can sometimes go against the Internet bot hivemind. Continue to keep up the good work! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Any film can be good if you make excuses for all the bad.

I just watched the movie. Don’t care I just loved it. Cool they could’ve defeated Kang in a better way but that doesn’t mean whole 2 hour of me was bad. Infact, it was insane. I loved the quantum universe, gives me a new World building to appreciate and it’s my favourite world. Just need some characters like Rocket or Drax and we’ll be Gucci. In 10 or 20 years time it’ll be appreciated like like all underrated movies do. Such an incredible world they made in Quantum world and people are hating on such incredible world.

I've been enjoying the Ant Man movies and character. The quantum scenery was generally pleasant. Some of the characters were very cookie cutter. The main thing i didn't like about this movie, that seems to be a common theme in super hero movies and especially marvel ones is where people keep information from each other for no apparent reason instead of just saying things which would help everyone. You would think in a universe where life hangs in the balance at all times absolute honesty would be the primary goal of all the characters.

Thank you for standing up for me and the one other dude who likes this movie! I loved this movie, I really did.

You love "bad" movies bro 😂 I RESPECT IT THO We need positivity especially when the film has been getting nothing but hate. Quantum Mania did do some good things and it should be recognized

Nah fam

You have to be kidding. This guy's standard of what is a quality movie is very low. The industry will not get back to producing high quality movies again if we just encourage the absolute trash that studios are currently pushing. This movies entire premise with Scot's daughter and her absolutely disrespect to her father is so unbelievably ridiculous.

18:31 you're telling me that alien that was obsessed with having holes wasn't the most forced and cringey thing in the mcu? It was disgusting how hard they were trying and how big of a miss that was.

9:35 "She's reminding him of the injustice still taking place in the world" What is antman suppossed to do about half the population coming back, even in Falcon's show the goverment is struggling to solve this problem. Her form of protesting is using advanced weapons on a police cruiser and having zero consequences because she's atman's daughter. This is poor execution of a good premise. 9:48 - You're making it sound like saving the universe is something minor and as if it has no impact to the younger generation of kids who get to have an insight on the sacrifices the avengers had to make to defeat Thanos and return half the universe. 10:20 - As a father why would he want his daughter to be in a war for people they have no infomation about and at this point they don't know much about Kang. This essay makes a lot of excuses for bad writing and direction, Janet had plenty of time and oppotunities to tell her family about Kang she just didn't for the plot to move forward. Cassie learning about quantum physics from notes in a basement and creating a device that Hank couldn't even have built after his years of experience in quantum physics is lazy. Socialist ants is a joke and so is the execution of this movie.

It's truly a shame about all the abuse allegations surrounding Jonathan Majors, and him therefore seeming to be a shithead. Because he's a really great actor

I love all 3 Ant man movies. Thank you for making this video and showing Quantumania some love. I want to ask why didn't you make a video on Ms Marvel? What are your thoughts on the series

I think the issue with quantumania is that it works phenomenally... as an outline. the story sounds great summed up in a 20 minute video. but in execution its just really sloppy. the script is all surface level. there's nothing going on between the lines. not a lick of subtext. and while the CGI can look beautiful at times, it drops the ball a good 30-40 percent of the time, and thats just not good enough when 95 percent of your movie is CGI. That being said, Majors knocks it out of the park in every scene he's in.

It feels like you’re speaking more to the story that they tried to tell instead of what they actually did. These are all fair praises, but the film doesn’t execute these things well. It leans too comedic for what could’ve been a more serious film. I like the story we got, but the movie itself doesn’t have enough conversations amongst its characters to flush this all out. I honestly loved the first half of the movie, but the ending was horribly rushed. The best example of this is the rebels, who we meet for about 2sec before they become an afterthought, coming back for the final battle. The movie didn’t make me care about them or anything Cassie was trying to preach about bc she was coming off as a self righteous liberal who thinks solving problems is as simple as being nice and doing the right thing. Maybe I’m jaded, but idgaf about ppl who’s lives got better post blip simply bc they inherited the wealth of ppl lost. It’d be like inheriting your father’s fortune while he’s in a coma and then he wakes up and takes it back, it’s his right to do so and you should build something of your own.

Antman became my 2nd favorite hero after I saw his first movie. I just saw this movie and Shazam 2 the day before. Both these movies are really good. They’re not the best, not good enough to set records but they’re really good. People just don’t know what’s good and others are way too quick to listen to them without seeing for themselves. I think people are letting the failures of the DCEU dominate their way of thinking when it comes to movies and good movies are failing because of it. And sometimes a good movie can fail not because of what people think but because it wasn’t marketed correctly. Like Treasure Planet

For me this movie was comedy gold and i loved every second, i am realy happy that marvel can still make funny movies.... looking at you thor 4. But i still think thor 4 is better then thor 2 so my opinion does bot mean anything

I agree. I loved it. I took my 8 year old to it after seeing how child friendly this was. This was the perfect jumping off point for him.

I'm glad you're not hopping on the bandwagon I went in to antman 3 expecting it to be bad and came out loving it It's not a perfect movie But it was fun and I enjoyed it

The movie starts with Scott living a great life, with his daughter a bit disappointed at him for not being an activist. And the movie ends with Scott living a great life with Scott still not being an activist. I love when Cassie says: “yeah you saved the universe; but what have you done for us lately” Nothing better than seen an ungrateful spoiled brat with no real world experience lectures you around. I like the part where Scott learns nothing, faces no personal consequences to his own life, doesn’t get conflicted with any ethical choice, does not get to do any sacrifice and gets to continue living his life as if nothing happened. Also loved the constant amount of Deus ex machina, exposition and plot contrivances scattered all throughout the movie. The following sums up the dialogues: Cassie: “Stop being a dick” Modok: “It’s too late. Look at me. I am such a dick” Cassie: “It’s never too late to stop being a dick” Modok: Oh wow, you are right, i’ll join you against kang. A supervillain getting beat by ants was the best decision to make him threatening and scarier than Thanos. I mean Thanos only beat Hulk, Thor and Loki, which is lame in comparison to seeing a super villain getting defeated by bugs. The decision to reshoot the finale last month before they released the movie was also great. Who needs Scott making a heroic sacrifice when Cassie can just open a portal and prevent the sacrifice from happening. Who needs consequences, when you can make a movie feel like it was all a bad dream. 10/10 movie. Go watch it!

Ah, FilmSpeak. The master of controlling the algorithm based on controversial thumbnails.

The problem for me is your analyses of these movies makes them sound amazing, but all the themes you bring up and interpret aren't conveyed very well in the movies themselves. The plot, the script dialogue, the emotions, some of the acting, etc. aren't made well enough to reach the lofty heights of what you're saying about the movie; basically exaggeration.

I always look forward to your videos, it's a breath of fresh air seeing the positive in movies. I know this movie wasn't perfect but most youtube titles for marvel as of late are along the lines of "why this sucks" or "why this is the worst MCU film". Even though you have your criticisms it comes from a place of actual critiquing and not just being negative and ruthless to get views. Keep sharing your opinions!

I went in with no expectation and aside from gross Darren, I enjoyed watching it. I think it was definitely the character writing that I appreciated most, though, especially as someone who enjoyed the first two Ant-man movies for these characters and their journey.

I really liked the third ant man movie, but you’re tripping thinking Thor Ragnorak isn’t in the top 10 of Marvel movies.

it's strange that Janet was against them going into the quantum realm in this movie, but she was fine with helping to send Scott there in the second movie.. is she ok?

Thank you so much for defending this film, it was way more fun and way more interesting than something like Fast and the Furious 19.

Thank you, finally someone who isn’t a hater

I totally agree. I enjoyed Thor 4 but understood people’s dislike of it. But this is one film where the negative opinions baffled me, especially compared to other MCU films (like multiverse of madness).

Marvel “fans”: I want them to do something different with the ant man movies. (Quantumania exists) Marvel “fans”: OH NO THEY DID SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH THE ANT MAN MOVIES! IT SUCKS!

This film was so much fun I enjoyed how funny and fun it was, I watched this film in Cinemark’s Xd with the Dbox seats, the moving seats combined with the giant screen was so much fun!

Someone said it was a fantastic Rick and Morty sci Fi adventure plot within the mcu and as such doesn't make for the best block buster film. I can see that. I can see if Rick and the family explored the quantum realm it'd be like this film. Kang being an evil Rick. But from a 3rd act structure for films the ending I feel does feel to light, rushed, and episodic. Like after the 3rd act any other Rick and Morty ep could be watched. For the mcu that makes the feel like a pointless adventure that is skippable or "mid".

I was expecting ant man to be bad but it was damn good movie I give it 9/10

Only negative I have with this film is replacing the actor for Cassie, I liked the old one so much more, and I think she was a better actress

THANK YOU for having the same understanding of MODOK that I saw in the film. I thought MODOK was one of the best parts of the movie because of how it depicted mental illness, and you are absolutely right, you don't fight mental illness with force. You fight it with compassion. I only hear "MODOK's last minute redemption was bad," but I totally believe in it. I mean, MODOK literally says "Tell me what to be" in the film, how do people not see the complex psychology that goes into that? And it makes sense that he breaks that badly in the context of the first film and the horrible trauma he suffers in this one.

I watched it a 2nd time and noticed on his walk to grab coffee everyone he passed on were all wearing the same two colors (green/purple) and he walked by the same person more than once like he was in a loop.

My opinion is this movie wasn't good but Jonathan Majors was amazing.

I've not seen the film yet, but based on all the reviews/ breakdowns I've seen it seems like the film is good, but didn't reach it's full potential. It sounds like the film will be fun & enjoyable, but I've also heard a lot of criticisms for the film which sound fair, i.e.: - Janet holds onto her info about Kang for too long - we don't spend enuff time w/ the Freedom Fighters (or at least see flashbacks of their suffering) to acc care about them - the muddy brown visuals of the Quantum Realm get old fast - ppl miss the more grounded elements of the Ant-Man films, like Luis - ppl are surprised Kang (the big bad of this saga) was defeated by Ant-Man despite having annihilated entire universes & killed bigger Avengers like Thor before - some of the characters (like Hank, Cassie) don't feel very believable on a green screen set - it didn't make sense for Cassie to be able to open a portal back into the Quantum Realm, etc

Quantomania is misunderstood by critics.

These movies start out with potential & their own unique elements, but ultimately all mutate into the same movie with a big CGI battle at the end, the bad guy getting his cumuppance & everything being set back to the way it was at the start. The Disney check-list prevents any of these movies from being it's own thing or deviating from formula. I feel like I've seen the same crappy movie with small variations 30+ times now.

"I loved the pro sex message for old ppl...." WTF? Dude this is a Marvel movie, not the View.

I liked it but was very underwhelmed by the ending, it's a movie that needed to get Kang right for the rest of phases 5 and 6, and having him lose with no significant consequences for the heroes was really disappointing because of how much weight has been put on the Kang variants by Marvel

I liked the movie but there's a lot of context that was needed but not delivered. I've been thinking in some ideas that would fit into the narrative of the movie that would made more sense, maybe I'll do a video about it.

I agree

As a big Ant-Man mcu films fan, this movie had a lot of good ideas to me but couldn't follow through. For me if the end SPOILERS Had just ended with hope and Scott stuck in the quantum realm with the portal closing behind them, Scott tells her they'll find their way out together this time with the ants and rebels help and that there is "room to grow" for everyone to work together to help them get back and with ksmg teleported through the engine to ancient Egypt where her is worshipped as a god king and says "thank you Scott," as he's carried away to his new throne. Meaning kang has escaped and is a threat out there. Also a great ending for hope and Scott in this film for me. I feel it would've had more stakes and heart imo. It was an okay movie but for me it was so close to amazing but the ending was too light. Ant-Man and antman & the wasp are my favs and quantumania for me is a lesser entry. My head canon is it's an amazing duology

I think most people are just fine with it being character focused! It’s just that most of us didn’t like the direction they took most of the characters, which I’d assume you’d find entirely understandable. This flick was written by a Rick and Morty writer and I think that really shows, which in this case- isn’t always good.

We can agree to disagree. I enjoyed the first two Ant-man movies. I did not enjoy this one at all. Kang was underwhelming... He had some great scenes and was well acted but he doesn't come off as treating by the end of the movie which makes him weak. The start to phase 5 starts off disappointing. Wasp wasn't giving any character beats. She had hero saving moments but said very little. I honestly disliked the dinner scene with all the characters dissing Ant-man. Janet was mishandled in the writing and character development in my opinion. Most of the humor was miss and off. All the new side characters where Meh. I could go on and on. Going to end with this. I hated intensely what they did to Modok!
