Ant-Man is not looking too hot in the new Quantumania film (in theaters February 17th), with a 63% approval rate from critics. Although the score is still fluctuating due to more critics’ reviews, the third installment to the franchise sits at 55% on Rotten Tomatoes. This makes it the second-lowest score of all the MCU films, falling just behind 2021’s Eternals.
After the events of Endgame, returning director Peyton Reed takes the audience and characters into the sub-atomic dimension of the Quantum Realm, where Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) was stuck for 30 years. There the Ant-Family finds that time-master Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors) has dominion over time and the multiverse.
ComicBook critic Jenna Anderson wrote Quantumania “is not only the third ‘act’ in the almost decade-long Marvel Cinematic Universe journey of Ant-Man, but it is a forecast of what’s on the horizon — kicking off Phase 5 of the franchise’s storytelling, and fully teeing up its biggest Big Bad yet, Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors). It would be a lot to ask any of Marvel’s existing superhero franchises to carry that latter burden, but in the hands of Quantumania, it proves to be a fun challenge in nearly every way. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is an eccentric and essential spectacle, further expanding the possibilities of what the MCU’s tentpole projects can still be capable of.”
