‘Ant-Man 3’ has quite a few influences on Star Wars and some popular video games, however, we are far from it being complete crap from the house of ideas
Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) are the first Avengers to face Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors) and MODOK (Corey Stoll) in the quantum realm where the beginning of Phase 5 of the saga takes place. multiverse, Ant-Man and Wasp Quantumania, whose preview is already today at Cinépolis and Cinemex, but Is it really as disgusting as the critics make it out to be?
We tell you without spoilers what you can expect from this film by the filmmaker Peyton Reed, whose premiere has everything against it as it is the second MCU film to receive such negative reviews. At first, friends, you will find a quantum space completely inspired by the imagination of George Lucas, an ecosystem similar to Tatooine and the development of Star Wars Episode 4, a new hope.
We can relate many similar creatures, vehicles, costumes and even weapons to the most popular galactic saga of all, and if we get more picky, there are blasters that look like they were borrowed from the Covenant in Halo. With this we want to tell you that it does not look like a Marvel movie at all, but rather a kind of fan fiction based on the publishing house that Stan Lee founded merged with emblematic titles of pop culture.
That being said, it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember Ant-Man and the Wasp, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, or other specific projects, just know that we are in post Avengers: Endgame and remember the villain in the first Ant-Man tape. Done, enjoy the action, because if the film has something positive it is the frenzy in which the actions take place in the quantum realm. Something exciting happens all the time.
However, you do have approximately 20 minutes to spare. Reed fell into the disinterested introduction by Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton). Contrary to other virtual members of the Young Avengers, the expectation of him is nil. Watching her doesn’t elicit any emotion like we did when we saw Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) take the bow from her mentor, Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). Her presence is so secondary that, precisely, it hinders development.
you never connect with her. It really is a zero to the left, in the same way that the character of Bill MurrayKrylar, the governor of Axia, a space in the quantum realm. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) make it exceptional, each one has a particular participation that blows your mind, especially comic book lovers.
It has precise touches of comedy, not forced as happened with Luis (Michael Peña), Scott’s friend, they are simple and to the point; which we are grateful for after suffering torment in Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder. At the performance level, Majors stays with the medal. Unfortunately the strength of his antagonism is left to the script. If you don’t know the Kang universe, getting lost is your destiny. It is presented as a terror of space and time, but its outcome leaves a lot of uncertainty in the normal public.
Compared to the infinity saga, where Thanos (Josh Brolin) gradually emerged to show his true power, Kevin Feige has not played his cards well this time. precipitating the presence of the new antagonist. The two post-credit scenes make a lot of sense for the future, but the debut of The Fantastic Four continues to be delayed a lot, when it is already a desperate cry for so much wink left. This movie was a must.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is a tape quite run over by the ambition of its director and president of the MCUbut we are far from the gringo comments that are destroying the work with which Marvel opens 2023. What is a fact is the need to already put the management of the multiverse in order for the purposes of arriving at Avengers: Secret Wars with everything right explained, otherwise the presence of the Beyonder and the stratospheric war will be chaos.
