Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is a fun film, but I honestly can't see viewers watching it more than once. It's a good adventure with a touch of adventure, action and a bit of comedy. The heroes of the film, Paul Rudd and his daughter Cassie are a dynamic duo that gives us that family feel. Yes, we've seen Cassie in past films, but she takes on a bigger role in this film. We come to learn more about Janet and her time away. She had an appealing story arc and it was great to see that she was experienced with Kang and surprisingly scared by him. Hank was great but it seemed like a he took the backseat for the majority of the film. He did have some key parts towards the end of the film, which I was glad to see, it will give you goosebumps. Now as for the villain in the film, Jonathon Major as Kang The Conqueror, he did a superb job. He nailed it. From being a comedic He Who Remains, to being this extremely scary and menacing Kang was pretty badass. He was a lost soul stuck in the Quantum Realm... but his anger and ambitions turn him to be pure evil. When you compare Kang and Thanos, Kang is just pure evil while Thanos is just a broken villain driven by greed. Kangs lines matched the vibe perfectly, because it was like watching a Shakespearean god crash and burn. The man has no soul, as he kills people and destroys homes without giving it a thought. As for MODOK, he seemed out of place because he really didn't have a connection with Kang. It was almost like, 'Hey we have this character we haven't seen in a while, let's just toss him into the mix'. But you do have to admit, the little time he had in the film, he was pretty funny on his own. The CGI, Cinematography and ACTION SCENES were all great, sometimes the story felt out of place and there was a lot unnecessary characters in it. To be honest, throughout the film you're left wondering... Where is the Wasp? It's almost like a wasted character in this film. It's amazing to see how there is a society of people in the Quantum Realm and they all fear Kang as if he is some type of god. At times, I felt like I was watching a wannabe Star Wars flick. I will say you do have a final battle to look forward to as it was BRUTAL. This could be the biggest we've seen Ant Man become. It was great to see him enraged with anger as he stormed through the citadel. It's safe to say we haven't see the last of Ant-Man and he's sure to play a key role in Avengers 5 and 6 with Kang. With that said, don't think you've seen the last of Kang. Keep in mind there are two credit scenes you'll want to stick around for.
