Since the Infinity Saga ended, Marvel films have received a lot of heat for a perceived dip in quality. Some of that’s valid, but even so, each new film had bits of heart and ingenuity that showed through to varying, but still worthwhile, degrees. That is, until Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which feels soulless in a way that’s extremely troubling for Marvel going forward.
Never has it felt so painfully obvious that actors are talking past one another in front of a green screen in Atlanta. Quantumania’s dialogue is extremely clunky, and it comes off very your-turn, my-turn sitcomic. When characters aren’t forcing out stilted lines, the Quantum Realm, a simultaneously overcooked and undercooked CGI mess, completely washes out any interesting set pieces.
