A Very Quick, Very Late Review of Quantumania

So, my cousins and I finally got around to watching Quantumania last night. None of had any expectations at all, because we had heard it was awful. What had heard was correct, in that the movie wasn't good at balancing mood, it was predictable, and it did very little to have a clear plot.

HOWEVER! We all loved it. It was fun to look at, for sure, and the jokes were hilarious (even if they were usually distracting, too). Plus, it had Kang, and if his story hadn't been totally scrapped (pointlessly, might I add) it would have gotten me super hyped for the Kang Dynasty.

Basically, I love this movie for all the same reasons I hate Ragnarok, because this time I just wanted a fun movie, whereas with Ragnarok I was hoping for a great film. I give it an 8/10, but with the caveat that if I were watching it alone it would have been a 5 or 6.

You love this and hate Ragnarok? I can’t take that seriously.

Haha, fair enough. I disliked Ragnarok for being so insanely different than the other two Thor movies, which I loved. This one felt more like AntMan 1 and 2 so I enjoyed it more. But yeah my opinions are kinda weird anyways

thought it was a very meh movie actually pretty bad and definitely a waste on michelle pfeiffer....really forgettable in this its shame complete contrast to her catwoman which is definitely memorable for alot of reasons...in this movie just felt like the definition of generic in every way almost.

Yeah the hate was weird. I enjoyed it and do not understand the whining.

We all have our own opinions, and we shouldn't be crucified for them. I thought the movie was okay, and Jonathan Majors as Kang was certainly a showstopper. Had they continued with his story, they definitely would've done something really cool with it, which makes me sad that we lost it thanks to his girlfriend deciding to be the next Amber Heard (claimed he was abusive then turned around and dropped all the charges after he was found guilty and lost his job). It was good enough, and I like that.

I like plenty of 'bad' movies, and would never judge someone for enjoying a film I perceived to be poor, but I do have to question one thing.

>It was fun to look at

Really? From what I remember when I watched it, the Quantum Realm looked like a cgi mess - very generic and very sloppy - and it removed the most fun part of the Ant-Man movies: namely the playing around with size and perspective. By putting Ant-Man in a place where you don't have a proper reference point for what 'normal' sized things are, most of the charm of how he interacted with the world was instantly gone for me.

Just genuinely curious to hear why you thought the film looked good, no shade but idk anyone who's thought that until now and I would be curious to hear a different take.

CaleBoi252025-09-23 22:09

I just liked the sci-fi visuals, even if they weren't perfect. I do agree that not having the same perspective-changing stuff some of the old charm was lost, but overall it was a pretty fun time. So maybe it's not so much that I think the visuals were good, just moreso that they were fun.

BatmanForever232025-09-23 22:50

Fair enough, mate! For me it all looked extremely samey and the colour palette was super bland, but I appreciate a different perspective.

CaleBoi252025-09-24 01:03

Yeah that's valid. I think it's not so much that it's never been done but rather that it was new for the MCU (as someone who didn't watch GotG, I hear they do have a lot more of the bright alien stuff haha)

BatmanForever232025-09-24 01:20

You gotta watch GOTG, top 6 MCU film imo!

CaleBoi252025-09-24 01:50

I will eventually get to it, but from what clips I have seen it doesn't seem like the series for me. Definitely plan to check it out eventually tho

Hmm, I kinda wasn't that interested at first either and only went bc Marvel and I'm a keen 100%er - was very wrong though, it has the best soundtrack and music in the MCU, and really tugs on the heartstrings in a way you wouldn't expect it to. I recommend going into the first one with an open mind, and if it's not for you then it's not for you - but it also might be :)

I will re-watch QM, LAT, and The Marvels each for the second time at some point.

But for me, as probably a big of a MCU Honk/Defender/Trollbuster as there is, those are my three most disappointing MCU Films of the whole run and it's between QM and LAT for my least favorite.

But sometimes second viewings have a way of changing things so I remain open to bending my perspective on the three.

I actually liked this movie, it wasn't the best MCU movie, but it was pretty good. I disagree on Ragnarok though, that's still one of my MCU favs.
