"Antman and the Wasp: Quantum Mania" will make even the most ardent fans of the superhero genre admit that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is in serious trouble.
The 31st film in the MCU, which is supposed to herald a new "phase", is intended to initiate a continuous and multi-film storyline, which will culminate in an "Avengers: Endgame" style event.

Although the movie is not as bad as "Black Adam" or "Batman v Superman", it is boring.
Very boring even.
A lot of things happen in it.
It has a series of apparently dramatic events, and introduces a new supervillain named Kang (Jonathan Majors), who has stepped into the slot of Thanos, the supervillain from the previous round.
But there is no fun here, not to mention internal logic, and a sense of randomness dominates.
The jokes aren't funny, the effects are mostly ugly, and none of the actors look like they want to be there.
The overlapping plot, signed by the unknown screenwriter Jeff Lovens, sends Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) - Antman - into the "quantum realm", with his daughter Cassie, his partner Hope - the Wasp (Evangeline Lilly), and her retired parents (Michael Douglas and Michelle Piper).
Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer.
from the movie,
The aforementioned kingdom is a "subatomic universe" or something like that, where wonderful creatures live and things happen that surpass all imagination. On paper, at least. In practice, it is very difficult to get excited or even impressed by something that happens there.
Ever since "Avengers: Endgame," the guys at Marvel have been struggling to restart their giant machine, and almost all of their recent movies have looked like a mediocre episode of "Rick and Morty" gone out of control.
So this time too.
If they don't get down on themselves, they will find that their huge audience shrinks to the size of Antman.
