REVIEW: The 3rd film in the Ant-Man series differs greatly from the first 2 films. It feels like an imaginary world in one of the kid’s movies but with all the Marvelous characters. The film is a cross between Star Wars and Marvel comics; the result is that Antman has less appeal. The film has only 5 minutes of real-world scenes- the first 5 and the last 5. The rest is shot in a room - Quantumania.

Michelle Pfeiffer & Michael Douglas look good for their age. For the rest, age doesn’t matter. The villain Kang – Jonathan is not fierce whereas he is much fierce in Creed III.

Humour is forced and there is not much action like the first 2 films.
There are only a couple of scenes that take you by surprise. The Marvel element of surprise is missing.

Mid-credits and post-credits scenes seem irrelevant, just like others from Marvel.

Enjoy if you can!
