Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - 2 and 3/4 stars out of 4

I mean, you're getting what they advertise: Ant-Man, Wasp, and their family in an adventure in the Quantum Realm. What saves it from being an absolute drag, and it does drag at times, is that these actors can do these roles in their sleep and they remain likeable and interesting, even though it feels like some of them are somehow given LESS to do. You could chalk it up to all the things they need to cram in, setting up what's to come in this phase. It starts off with a similar problem that Captain Marvel had in that you're being asked to care about too much, too quickly. Seriously, it wastes almost no time kicking off the ride. How enjoyable the ride is depends on how much you feel from these characters and the visuals coming from these set pieces, because there is a lot to point out as fun and creative, even if the story isn't particularly gripping. Kang is no Thanos, in my opinion, despite his intricacies here, so it'll be interesting to see how much intrigue he draws. I do appreciate it not being the joke-fest the previous two entries were, even though there are a couple of good ones. I don't think it's the kick off Phase 5 needed, but I can think of much worse ways to waste two hours.

Stick around for two post-credits scenes, which do raise some questions and are enough to get me curious about what's in store.
