Just watched Ant Man & Wasp: Quantumania with the family (spoiler free)

[GunsMadeAmericaFree]

We just watched Quantumania in the theater. I'd probably give it an 8 out of 10.
My wife, who really enjoyed both of the previous movies, was less enthused.

Her reaction: "Who wrote this dialogue?" "Where are the funny parts? If they make
another one, I may not watch it." My 13 year old seemed to love it.

I'll admit, it really could have used more humor like the other 2 had. But I get it, they
felt that they had to go serious, since they were essentially introducing the plot
for the next few Avengers movies.....

Did you see it? What would you give it on a scale of 1 to 10?

 

[MrSquished]

Been over Marvel movies for a while. Just too much nonsense came out and the franchise is tired to me. Only one I am interested in is the next Guardians movie.

Watched it yesterday in RealD 3D. Agreed 8/10/

Confused why they replaced the actress who played Cassie Lang in Avengers - Endgame.

Nice ending credit scenes, didn't know they had 2 as I about to leave the theatre but stayed just in case.

Also confused how time works in the Quantum Realm.

So how much time has passed on earth while they stayed in the Quantum Realm?
Shouldn't Janet Van Dyne not haved aged during her 30 years disappearance there? But she did concurrent with Hank Pym.
When Scott Lang was stranded there when the snap happened, 5 hours to him, about 5 years on Earth.

I want to see this, maybe next weekend.

cassie lang = scott lang's (ant man) daughter
maybe she's too old for the part?

At 13 years old your kid is about the oldest "demographic" the current round of Marvel's shallow CGI-saturated dreck is aiming at.

Actual fans of the comics are no longer important to these folks only the almighty dollar. They're on the same politically correct generic & "Disneyfied" path to oblivion/irrelevancy as "Star Wars".

I saw it yesterday, and thought it was the opposite. The op Cassie would be too young. Remember those who survived Thanos aged five years.

I felt like they should have had her die, and then Ant Man would have at least initially had a reason for cooperating with Kang.....

 

[Captante]

Not that I personally care (at all) about seeing this movie BUT somebody else might!

Kindly mind the "un-tagged" spoilers !!

 

[brianmanahan]

i still haven't seen the first one, i need to watch that

Then you probably haven’t seen the second one either. This is the third film.

I can say with a certain certainty that you will like the first two. The humor is just too good.

 

[GunsMadeAmericaFree]

Was it just me, or did it seem like the Wasp had absolutely no chemistry with Ant Man in this movie?

It was her hair, that ruined everything.

 

[igor_kavinski]

It was her hair, that ruined everything.

Her face too. It looked emaciated. Like she had cancer, underwent chemo and now is in remission

Watch the first two. Then prepare your mind for a lot of "ARRRGGHHH!!! WHY DID THEY DO THAT????" before watching the third.

Paul Rudd had no co-writing credit in the third movie. No wonder I was grimacing.

Quantumania Is the First Ant-Man Movie Without a Paul Rudd Writing Credit

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania star Paul Rudd reveals why this is the first movie in the franchise on which he will not receive a writing credit.

She definitely looked a lot older or something....

 

[MrSquished]

I think we are way past the point where it is easy to assume a new Marvel movie is going to be crap. So why spend the money and time to go to a theater until you really know if you have a nice tv and some sound system at home?

They said fuck quality and just start printing out cash cows quite a bit of time ago.

 

[Captante]

Initially I was excited about all the Marvel shows/movies on Disney Plus but now I don't even care.

IMO Disney ruined the Marvel superhero franchise.

They fucked up Star wars too. Yet somehow Andor came out of that shit show they created. Not a great ratio of good to crap but at least there is a sliver of good to look forward to

I've yet to "push" through the slow-ish first season of Andor despite the rave-reviews it's getting now.

You can do it!

It gets better after Ep4.

Mandalorian S03E01 was good so seems they have limited resources and can't make the good people work on everything at once.

Got through 2 episodes already so one more "sucky/boring" one to go max?

That a promise?

Problem is I'm not subbed to Disney Plus anymore so I would have to use... erm ... other means!
