If i want to be short:

Is it worth to watch? Sure, it somehow made me smile at the cinema, and it is making you curious about Kang, especially with the two end credit scenes, but dont have too high expectations, just try to enjoy the ride, it has a few unexpected turns, but you get what you can expect from a family oriented Ant-Man franchise.

If you want the long version:

I will not be mean to Marvel, they get enough criticism from everyone.

Kang is in the MCU, lets see how it will play out on the long run.

"Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania" was a wild ride sprinkled with a lot of risk on the part of the storytellers, because i think they only had the concept of what they try to do but they had no talent to make this work.

The characters were played well by the actors, i dont think any of their performances were that bad (maybe Modok and the daughter of Ant-Man felt REALLY out of place, but that was mostly because of the writing), the problem is that Marvel is unable to write a story what captures emotions. At all.

When a character is well written, you know why you like it or why you dislike it, but Marvel in phase 4 failed to show the MCU fans why they should like their characters, they all feel generic, no trademarks or signature moves or character flaws/strenghts which would lift up the characters, the writing is not focusing on those things, but in the superhero genre these are the things which makes the fans go crazy for their heroes.

I cant say that Marvel is not trying, but if it cant pin down EXACTLY what each character means for the MCU and for the fans then they cant move the masses.

Ant-Man at least has Paul Rodd who can play the character and it is not hard to build the story around it.

The reason why i am not willing to give this movie more than a 7 is because the concepts which are thrown into the mix now could have been more clear, more articulated, i cant stop thinking that the whole quantum world and quantum people thing was created half heartedly, just to have a plot device, nobody cares about them or their world and their only reason is to introduce Kang.

I get it, it was easier to do it this way, but that means Marvel is taking shortcuts, and i am not a big fan of the idea.

I felt Kang's presence, the actor did a good job, but even if it is the 3rd movie of the Ant-Man trilogy, i kinda feel like it did not have to be so family friendly, or that the family friendly part could have ended at the 2/3 of the movie and they could have gone for a hardcore ending, showing what Kang really is about, his resolve.

The way the movie is now, it is a strong 6, i only gave it a 7 because i liked Kang, i liked Paul Rodd, but the story writing was still weak.

I would not call it a horror, it is a little more than that or i would say different in a good way.

I did not feel like Megan is not a human being for a second during the movie, and i dont think that the creators of the movie aimed for that either, they did not "expose" the nature of Megan as a pure machine, they created a relatable and living thing what is posing as a human being.

First of all, whoever was the screenwriter or the person who wrote the dialoges, must have great talent, because the movie made me emotional in certain scenes, and i did not expect that from this movie at all, that was a big surprise.

As the movie goes forward, it build towards an ending what you probably expect, but along the way, as the little girl builds trust with Megan, it makes you get involved in their relationship and you hope the best for them, your judgement gets clouded by it, because Megan's decisions are not unreasonable, and it becomes really hard to face with the reality of the situation.

The ending was a little too sudden for my taste, with the obvious tease, but overall i really enjoyed the movie.

You dont have to hesitate, just go and watch it, it is time well spent, now i have to see the "behind the scenes" part on youtube because i want to know how they made the movie, i also want to see who was the voice actor for Megan.

The girl who played Katie was surprisingly convincing, she also has real talent for acting.

Good movie, go and watch it : )

I made time for myself to watch this movie because i knew it was something different, and i was not wrong.

The tempo of the movie was crafted nicely, it has a slow starts but it creates tension very well, then i think after half of the movie the plot thickens so you will not get bored.

I can see why some people do not enjoy the movie, it does not go to extreme lengths to create the dramatic effects, no overload of visual gore, the violence is very much expected but still shocking, the plot makes you questions some things, but the experience as a whole is worth your time.

What really makes this movie great is the performances of the actors, the guests, the staff, the chef, they all do just the right amount to make you feel that you are in the room, i think that is what elevates the movie.

The relationship of the female lead character and the chef becomes the focus of the movie, and it leaves you with a strange but wholesome feeling at the end, even if it does not really make sense because if you would think rationally, that is not how it should be, but you gain an understanding of all the things which happen in the movie and you can overlook the shortcomings because it offers you something to embrace.

I could somewhat compare it to the Joker movie scene where you want Joker to shoot the host of the TV show, even if that is not a rational thing, something similar happens here too, but you dont really understand why does it make you feel that way.

I am probably making this movie look better than what it is but i really enjoyed it, so i can only recommend it for you too : )
