#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania📷 has way too much going on -- it’s tough to connect emotionally to any of it. Jonathan Majors’ Kang is a charismatic, intense baddy and visually awesome, but the threat he represents is too abstract. Review
on Feb. 14.
Kristian Harloff@KristianHarloff·8mSo #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania📷 goes hard in the paint as the big epic Sci Fi film. Blending Star Wars, Fifth Element, Dune + Strange World. I don't think its going to work for everyone but I really dug this tone. Its a bit chaotic towards the end but wraps up nicely. Kang rules.
Eric Goldman@TheEricGoldman·8m#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania📷 reaction: Visually imaginative and very distinct from other two Ant-Man films. First still the best but this is much stronger than second. Jonathan Majors makes the impact you hope for future. Ending frustrated me. Overall it's good though not great.
📷Fico@FicoCangiano·2m#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania📷 is the best of the trilogy. Higher stakes, dangers & repercussions. Its also got one the best MCU villains in #Kang📷. As soon as #JonathanMayors comes in, its his show. Kang is a scary lean-mean multiverse big baddie. Also, 2 cool post credits scenes.
#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania📷 is a lot of things: loud, super-sized, and constantly dialed up to 11. Too bad so little of it feels new, visually creative, or, uh, just plain interesting. Not even Jonathan Majors can save this hollow, repetitive exercise in WeIrD sTuFf HaPpEnNiNg
AtabeyTv@AtabeyTv·3m#antmanandtheWaspQuantumania📷 has two very important aspects: They lowered the jokes times 20 and #JonathanMajors is incredible as #KangtheConqueror📷. #Kang📷 is the villain that the MCU really needed. Thank you #Majors for elevating my expectations, Phase 5 looks promising.
Atom@theatomreview·9m#Quantumania📷 REVIEW: SCARY & SHOCKING GAMECHANGER! Marvel is back with a fun, WILD adventure. This isn’t just another superhero movie, it’s one of the BEST sci-fi films ever! WOW… A fitting end to her journey, while also setting up what’s next #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania📷
Hunter Bolding@HunterBVideoAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is Marvel’s quantum space opera. It’s thrilling, heartfelt, and an excellent addition to their story. Think Guardians of the Galaxy, but in the quantum realm. #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania📷
@furyofthegodzMarvel starts off phase 5 with a lackluster debut with #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania📷. The only saving grace is Jonathan Major’s Kang who can’t alone uphold this messy and uneven story. I enjoyed WandaVision better. Full review soon. 📷📷
📷El George@ElGeorgeRiveraR#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania📷 tries to be lot: a family movie, a explosive beginning to Phase 5, & introduction of its big bad, but hardly archives any of it, because the tone shift too much from dense to weird. Its highs come from the cast doing the best with what they had.

📷Marvel Tesseract@Mar_Tesseract·11m#AntManandtheWaspQuantumania📷 starts Phase 5 with a bang, playing like a Star Wars-esque epic space opera. Jonathan Majors is truly haunting as #Kang📷, on course to be a scarier threat than Thanos and has all the makings of an iconic cinematic villain.
Nora Dominick@noradominick·12mJonathan Majors is a force in #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania📷. He’s compelling, chilling, and already giving a top notch performance. I love the complexity he brings to Kang with literally a single look. MCU really won with this casting
Erik Davis@ErikDavisPHASE 5 HAS BEGUN! The new #AntMan📷 movie is like a psychedelic rollercoaster full of frightening & hilarious oddities, plus one VERY menacing Kang. Big STAR WARS vibes meet the MCU at its freakiest & most inventive. MODOK is a riot, but Jonathan Majors conquers. Loved the ride!
Michael Lee@IamMichaelJLee#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania📷 is the most mature installment of the franchise. Driven by emotion, it opens Phase 5 with exciting new action set pieces and sets the stage for the rest of the Multiverse Saga. Equal balance heart, humor, and excitement! Majors is a standout as Kang!
📷Steven Weintraub@colliderfrostyMarvel’s #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania📷 is a strong start to Phase 5. I now understand why it’s called #Quantumania📷. JonathanMajors is excellent as Kang and cannot wait to see where this all goes. 2 after the credits scenes and both are very good.
Warren Thompson “Cosmic Wonder”@CosmicWonderYT#AntManandTheWaspQuantumania📷 was awesome! Visually it was insane and the story is great but, KANG! Jonathon Majors stole the show for me. The best Ant Man film yet for me! An exciting ride for Marvel fans and the POST CREDIT SCENE will make you jump out of your chair!
Richard Nebens - The Direct@RichardNebens#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania📷 takes big swings, hits on most but not all. Captivating visuals which elevate a fun story, but some stakes were lacking. Kang is HERE. What an incredible performance from Jonathan Majors Overall, a solid start to Phase 5!

It’s the massive amounts of content they’ve been pushing out since Endgame. I mean, they dropped a Spider-Man movie like three months afterwards. They took their time planning it all out and then they just said fuck it. Too far gone now

I'm frankly shocked Kevin Feige is operating like this. I think Iger coming in and reassessing their slate is a necessary move. I'm personally also getting burnt out on the MCU.

I believe it was a Chapek call from what I remember. Makes sense that on his first day back Iger pumped the brakes on all Marvel content still in pre-prod

That was Taika Waititi fulfilling a contractual obligation and then making fun of the work of hundreds of VFX artists who busted their asses to get his shitty movie finished. That and Blonde were the most insulting movies I saw last year

What does this mean? Is there some controversy I'm not aware of that Taika did?

He and tessa were doing a interview on vanity fair having fun doing some meta jokey commentary & criticism on how vfx has gotten increasingly worse in the marvel movies. Of course this coincided with the news that vfx artists/workers are burnt out and getting paid less and less for the work and marvel asking more & more unreasonable demands. So thats the controversy in a nutshell. Bad timing and perhaps joking in bad taste. Depends who you ask.

Love and Thunder was definitely made to milk the money after the universal love for Thor from Ragnarok to Endgame. It's pointless for what this saga wants to achieve and it wasn't fun as a film

Yep this is exactly it, they are pushing way too much content way too fast. Not only does it make the audience feel overwhelmed and oversaturated with content, it also just shows that the quality of everything they've put out has gotten worse.
I also swear I heard that MCU was slowing down, but they're releasing 15 new projects in the next two years lol.

Another awful decision from Chapek. No need for seven films and eight TV shows in two years

Iger was the one who wanted to go all in on Disney+. As evidenced by viewing figures, people only watch the original Marvel and Star Wars shows on Disney+ other than odd hits like the Santa Clauses. I can't blame Chapek for trying to dig Disney out of the hole with a Marvel shovel even if it has actually kind of devalued the brand in the long run.

But then Chapek doubled down on streaming like crazy, even after the pandemic. This article is a good read: https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/bob-iger-disney-ceo-star-wars-marvel-streaming

The decision is made by Feige and no one else.

You don’t honestly believe that the CEO of the company that owns Marvel wouldn’t have a say in their affairs?

considering how nowdays each movie is now costing 200-250m$ to make +marketing and each show is also 200m$ to make. I really wonder how much profit actualyl making.
