Rating Score -> 3.5/5
While the film sets some things in motion, it also seems a bit rushed at times and stretched at others. It’s also oddly reminiscent of the Star Wars franchise. That said, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania takes you on a fun adventure. And, as always, stay back for Easter eggs in the mid and post credit scenes.
2. India Today -
Rating Score -> 2.5/5
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is the weakest Marvel film in recent times. It isn’t bad, it just falls short of being in the league of its predecessors.

Rating Score -> 2.5/5
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ends up becoming yet another Thor: Love and Thunder or Doctor Strange in the Madness of Multiverse where the superheroes end up becoming the supporting actors of their own film. While visually it is much better than the prequels, Ant-Man 3 needed a little more brewing.

Rating Score -> 3/5
ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA works due to the fascinating storyline, performances and exhilarating finale. It also introduces an exciting and terrifying new villain and as a result, it’s a must-watch for Marvel fans. However, the clichéd narrative and beaten-to-death action sequences will prevent it from becoming a huge grosser like the recent Marvel films.

Rating Score -> 2.5/5
The film also lacks a central logical point. If a prisoner like Kang is exiled, how can he build an empire with hundreds of loyal soldiers and weapons with a high-tech mechanism? Even if you tend to let go of this point, it will nudge you till the end of the film. The stakes are high, and that is the reason behind the disappointment.
6. Rediff -
Rating Score -> 2.5/5
Quantumania is not an utter letdown, but falls short of the signature Marvel magic that makes their films an entertaining and compelling affair. The well liked Ant-Man franchise deserved more than just being a filler episode for what's to unfold in the phase five of MCU.

Rating Score -> n/a
In the end, does Quantumania have me more excited for the next phase of the MCU and its exhausting interconnectedness? Almost slightly. Does it make for a fun standalone superhero adventure? Partially. Now excuse me while I inspire a final shot by thinking of an effective way to end this sentence with the words Quantum Realm. Believe me, it'll help you enjoy this movie more.

Rating Score -> 1.5/5
Paul Rudd film is a hot mess. Amid all the chaos and confusion, Jonathan Majors' Kang lends the film some gravitas.

Quantumania’ movie review: MCU’s next big villain deserves a much better film debut. Apart from random quasi-philosophical nuggets on the nature of time, the film’s antagonist, Kang, is the only aspect that elevates the film to some level of watchability.
