Short version: ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA is basically a parody of… the higher-stakes MCU movies. I do not mean this in a bad way.
Slightly longer version: I can understand why critics hated ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA. It’s more serious than its predecessors, while not nearly solemn enough when compared to, say, INFINITY WAR. I can also understand why it’s supposed to make a good bit of change this weekend, because it’s absurd in the good way. It’s a goram movie about people with ant-themed powers shrinking down to the sub-molecular level. There’s a lot of ant jokes in this movie. I laughed a lot. I had fun. That’s all I care about.

PS: Jonathan Majors hammered his role. Even the people who didn’t like the movie liked him. Good stuff.

I have heard that it has unpleasant levels of woke and support for the PRC [/spit]. I have also heard that it is too long and doesn’t keep up a good pace. How do those criticisms feel against the movie you experienced?
For the first part: I didn’t particularly notice either? Nothing as bad as that one droid in SOLO, which is my personal threshold level before I’m really gonna notice. As for the second: I’m a bad person to ask. I’ll sit through anything that’s brightly lit and exploding enough.
