    doesn't understand itself
    Personally I loved ant-man 1 and 2, they were comedic, fun, exciting and lightning in a bottle, Quantumania isn't any of those things. This is a fine movie, and before phases 1 through 3 upped our standard for super hero movies this would have been quite an entertaining thing to see, and I definitely still like it. The problem for me is this film gave up the zany and unique high-jinks adventures of the two previous entries for a far more serious mood and a far more traditional superhero theme. Possibly they were trying to make up for the lack of captain america or iron man to hit those notes for this phase but ant-man works better as comic relief. I would also have liked to see more of the quantum realm, a mini-series would be nice, there is potential there and I know the comics have done stuff there. I hope the next ant-man picks returns to the style and quality of the first two films. Still very watchable though.

    Believe me when I say I actually like Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania. It was the first Marvel movie I saw in theaters and was satisfied with it when it was over. I like the typical Ant-Man humor in it. For me, it's supposed to be an Ant-Man movie, so it's supposed to have jokes and not always make sense. I find the humor in the Ant-Man movies good, and it's definitely better than the humor in Thor Love and Thunder. I like how this movie covers the Quantum Realm in detail. It was just a mysterious place that is smaller than atoms in the first two Ant-Man movies, and was a plot device for time travel in Endgame, but in this movie, we finally get to actually see it in detail.

    I find the CGI alright, of which my opinion is better than other people. I find MODOK is done right. I find it where MODOK is not possible to do in live action without looking somewhere on the uncanny spectrum. He's either creepy or weird and can't really be anything else while remaining comic accurate. People like comic accurate but MODOK is a character people might hate on either way (not comic accurate, complain about being not comic accurate. Comic accurate, complain about looking weird or creepy).

    I also find it does an alright job setting up the Multiverse. It has Kang the Conqueror, of whom in known to be the Multiversal threat throughout the Marvel multiverse. It is definitely a film that would help build up to the whole multiverse in the MCU'S future (even if it bombed, it helps show what to try to stay away from).

    Overall, it's by third favorite comic book film of 2023.
