AntManandtheWaspQuantumania Review by TheJonathanSim: An Overstuffed MCU Entry
blasts our heroes into the Quantum Realm for a new adventure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This superhero film kicks off Phase Five of the MCU and features Scott Lang/Ant-Man and his now-grown daughter Cassie as they travel to an unfamiliar realm and take on a new foe known as Kang the Conqueror .
This movie loses every sense of realism that the first two had by taking every scene and filming it in The Volume. Everything feels artificial, with every scene filmed in front of what looks like an LED screen. While the opening few scenes retain a few of the comedic elements themovies are well-known for, we are quickly thrown into a large-scale, high-stakes adventure that throws all character development out of the window.
The trailer sold this film on the premise that Scott is regretful of all the years he did not get to be with Cassie, as he did not get to see her grow up. Unfortunately, this element barely exists within the film. While the father-daughter element has always been the heart and soul of the series, this movie only scratches the surface.
But the secondary antagonist is MODOK , whose translation from comic book drawings to live-action is hilariously awful. He looks like a joke, acts like a joke, and is often treated like the miscalculation of a character design that he is. MODOK is such a goofy villain that every time he is paired with Kang, it creates a jarring tonal contrast, as we have the MCU’s most terrifying villain matched with their most idiotic.
