An Ant-Man “on the scale of an Avengers”
That’s it, after having been announced for a long time, Ant-Man: Quantumania, the third film devoted to the adventures of Scott Lang, is about to land in the cinema. A project presented as the most ambitious of its trilogy, in the words of its director. In an interview at Entertainment Weekly, Peyton Reed said that the previous Ant-Man feature films were seen as “little appetizers after a huge Avengers movie”. For this work, the director wanted to think big with a project that has the scope of an Avengers adventure. After presenting its ambitions, it’s time for Peyton Reed’s film to be submitted to the eyes of critics. Last night was the premiere of the film in Los Angeles and spectators who are lucky enough to participate were allowed to summarize their opinion concisely in a tweet. Here’s what to remember.
Kang, an antagonist at the height of Thanos?
If everyone goes there with their little commentary on Ant-Man: Quantumania, one element seems to make everyone agree: the performance of Jonathan Majors in the role of Kang. As the main antagonist of the Multiverse saga (spanning from Phase IV to Phase VI of the MCU) who takes up the mantle from Thanos, this is surely the point that fans have been waiting for the most in the film. . The bet therefore seems to hold for Jonathan Majors whose critics hail the charisma and the “bad-ass” side. Beyond this specific aspect, those who enjoyed the experience noted the numerous action sequences, the special effects and the fact that this sci-fi adventure looks like Star Wars according to some. Enough to make Ant-Man: Quantumania “a good start for Phase V of the MCU”. The performance of Michelle Michelle Pfeiffer, who plays Janet van Dyne, is also hailed.
Not all reviews are rave reviews, however. Among those who enjoyed the viewing less, some criticize the film for having too much to tell, especially about the multiverse, which can sometimes be difficult to follow. Others point out that the threat Kang poses is still too abstract to be truly terrifying at this point. Finally, among the light criticisms, we could note that some find that the film does not do “Marvel enough” at certain times considering all that it must put in place. Also know that the feature film has two post-credits scenes not to be missed according to the reviews. In the meantime, we remind you that Ant-Man: Quantumania is scheduled for February 15 with us in dark rooms.
