I was pumped when they announced Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. It's now out, we saw it, and it was spectacular.
In my opinion, the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was a heavy hitter and one of Marvel's strongest movies in awhile. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/index.php/topic,1018.0.html) was a strong showing, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/index.php/topic,970.0.html) was well done, Spider-Man: No Way Home (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/index.php/topic,948.0.html) was massive, and let's not forget several of the Disney+ Series as well as other strong titles such as Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/index.php/topic,928.0.html).
It's hard for me to say it's better than all the others, so I will refrain from that. However, it's an amazing movie. No Spoilers on this round as well ;D
Who has seen this movie? what are your thoughts? Post it up!
No one else saw this?
Meant to go see it and just too many things came up. I think at this point going to wait for Disney+.
I've seen some reviews about it but didn't get too deep into them so that I can go in fresh.
Looking forward to this when it hits Disney+. We presently do not have a local theatre, new owners, will reopen soon.
one of our theaters recently closed. It was a Carmike that was bought by AMC... but Covid took it's toll. Hopefully it will hit D+ soon.
The Carmike off Diebold closed? sucky... I liked that theater. I went to the one at Jefferson & the Regal on Washington a lot too though.
Did you ever notice that it is Quantumania?

LOL... did you come up with that
@Grindspine ?
and yeah... Carmike closed. It sucks... but not too shocked. The movie industry took a bit hit with Covid. However, many others were able to keep alive. I feel if they could've survived until this year, they could've caught back up.
btw... there seems to be a lot of people down on Quantumania. I'm not exactly sure why...
Finally saw it this weekend. Overall, on its' own, it felt like the worst of the Ant-Man trilogy but the implications for the MCU are MASSIVE! Definitely required viewing just because of that. And just to be clear, I don't think it's a horrible movie, just a little weak. I think the dialogue was a little rough and a lot of it fell flat for me but it still had some really good moments.
It subverted my expectations. I fully thought Cassie was going to take over the movie but they kept her as the young hero still learning and accepting that, which was nice. I also hope other movies touch on Kang's origin and powers. The movie did a great job showing how powerful he is but not really explaining why (or what) he is.
I really like the movie. The Darren part was sort-of weird... it was funny... but it was a bit weird. I agree with what you thought... I sort-of thought the same things. At the same time, I wasn't sure where they were going with the movie.
There were a few other parts I thought didn't make a lot of sense... but I figured that followed along with the Quantum Realm being an odd place.
Implications are massive for sure....
Now that we have the events from the KANG actor that transpired... this movie is even bigger in terms of handling what happened to Kang. Ant Man pretty much handled Kang and he's "stuck" or worse as it stands. Therefore, Doomsday is happening instead of dealing with Kang

We ended up watching Ant Man: Quantumania again the other day... and it was pretty good. I definitely liked it much better 2 years later. It's cool and awesome how this movie ties so much together.
What are your thoughts on the progress of the series since then? Have you revisited this movie lately? If so... what are your thoughts on this movie? Post it up!
