Another bland MCU offering
Cast: Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Jonathan
Majors, Kathryn Newton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Douglas, Bill Murray
Rating: 2.5/5
The good thing about this film is that it
never starts off promising, so you don’t feel cheated when it falls flat on its
face halfway through the runtime. Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, and Jonathan
Majors are the only good thing about the film along with the sequence at the
beginning when they go into the Quantum Realm.
People criticized Martin Scorsese back in
2019 for comparing MCU films with theme park rides – he isn’t wrong. Theme-park
rides are fun once or twice, but end up getting boring after you ride the same
ride over a million times.
Superhero duo Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne,
together with Hope’s parents Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne, find themselves
exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures, and
embarking on an adventure that will push them beyond the limits of what they
thought was possible.
Paul Rudd delivers a rather weak
performance but is still charming enough to keep you invested in the proceedings
like Michael Douglas. Jonathan Majors delivers one of the strongest
performances in the MCU in recent memory. He’s menacing as Kang. However, the jokes are often
lame and the action bland, and boring. Kevin Feige needs to realize
that after some time audiences won’t accept the generic stuff the MCU keeps on
churning out every 2-3 months.
Peyton Reed’s direction is bad, all MCU
films are now identical, bringing nothing new to the table. The visual effects may
be good but get boring after a while.
Don ‘t forget to stay back for the surprise
after the end credits roll.
