During Marvel’s Infinity Saga, which spanned from 2008’s Iron Man to 2019’s Avengers Endgame, the MCU never suffered a green disapproval from Rotten Tomatoes. Even the not-so-remembered The Incredible Hulk and Thor The Dark World survived at 67 and 66 percent respectively. To be classified as a “fresh” red tomato movie on the review aggregator, a movie must earn at least 60 percent positive reviews ranging from three to five stars. However, just two years ago the franchise had its first “rotten” with Eternals.
Oscar winner Chloé Zhao’s Eternals followed a cast of immortals played by the likes of Richard Madden and Angelina Jolie. However, the film’s script, pacing and character development were panned by critics, with the blockbuster receiving only 47 percent positive reviews in 2021.
Now Marvel’s latest film, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, hits theaters this Friday and has suffered a similar fate from critics.

Another two-hour blast of Marvel’s inexhaustible multi-color CG gunge hose.

Sorry about the raid on your parade, “Ant-Man” fans, but the third chapter is a load of crap.
Washington Post
In Quantumania, the upbeat pacing and light-hearted humor have succumbed to the pompous seriousness that plagues much of the comics canon.
Deadline
I have to confess, I’m getting pretty tired of the flashy, fiery wizard-like effects that many of these comic book movies revel in. Mix it up next time, guys.
CinemaBlend
[A] blockbuster that is never compelling for more than five minutes at a time and has nothing original or special to bring to the superhero genre.
Rolling Stone
Quantumania is somehow heavy without feeling substantial, almost hopeless in its harshness. Even peppered with the occasional quip, it makes Eternals feel positively light-hearted by comparison.
Some critics, meanwhile, weren’t quite as harsh, singling out the best part of the movie as the introduction of Jonathan Majors as the MCU’s new Thanos-level villain, Kang the Conqueror.

All in all, particularly when set against the weight of Majors’ performance, Quantumania hits the mark nicely: it’s dumb, but dumb to the right degree.

While it is not surprising that [Majors’] The imposing physicality is perfectly suited to his iconic villain persona, also investing his performance with such surprisingly calm stillness and ambivalence that you’re on edge every moment he’s onscreen.
The Guardian
Kang hits? Because yes, he does. Majors brings the same emotionally intense hip-boy energy to Adam Driver in The Force Awakens.
Empire
Marvel, with all its resources, has made a movie set in a universe where time and space are not as we know it, but has ended up with something that looks surreal, but feels shackled. Amazing it is not. But that doesn’t mean it’s not fun.
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania hits theaters on February 17, 2022.
