“Ant-Man 3” Sets MCU Negative Record – But It’s Still A Hit! Thus began the successful “Quantumania”.

For us, Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania is a fun journey into the spectacularly illustrated Quantum Plane that also has a great villain thanks to Kang (Jonathan Majors). The official FILMSTARTS review gave it a strong 4 out of 5 stars. But not all critics could relate to the latest Marvel film as much as we did, as a look at shows.

On the review aggregation site, “Ant-Man 3” has now tied the negative record of “Eternals” on the platform with 306 reviews collected to date. In both cases only 47 percent of meetings fall positive (as of February 20, 2023), less than any other MCU film (by comparison, the – Scores of the first two parts are 83 and 87). However, the negative voices haven’t stopped Marvel fans around the world from rushing into the titular Avenger and his family’s third solo adventure.
