‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantamania’ is the Worst-Reviewed Movie in MCU History

February 16, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

I walked out of Wednesday’s press screening of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantamania” because life is too short and wasting it on a 125 minute Marvel product is counterproductive.

I bailed after the 45 minute mark. I couldn’t take it. Marvel is a brand that I just can’t abide by anymore. ‘Quantamania’ is part of Marvel head Kevin Feige’s PHASE 5 of the MCU.

It’s not like I hated the first two ‘Ant-Man’ movies either, they were semi-enjoyable and felt like counterprogramming to the token MCU film, but I’m telling you, ‘Quantamania’ was unwatchable. The reviews prove it.

As it stands, ‘Quantamania’ has a 50 Metascore and is 51% rotten on RT. It’s close to becoming the worst-reviewed movie in MCU history. Even Chloe Zhao’s misbegotten “Eternals” had a better MC score than ‘Quantamania.’

PHASE 4’s slate of movies was far and away the weakest one, completed with the release of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” last November. The MCU is currently in the worst shape that it’s been in since its inception more than 15 years ago.

I’m not alone in this assessment either. It’s also the worst-reviewed phase with such stinkers as “Thor: Love and Thunder,” “Black Widow,” “Eternals,” and “Doctor Strange into the Multiverse.” Box-office has also been down, at least when compared to the first three phases.

I’d say ‘Wakanda Forever’ is up there in a tie with “Spider-Man: No Way Home” for “best” film of the fourth phase. PHASE 5 will have ‘Quantamania,’ “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “The Marvels,” “Captain America: New World Order,” “Thunderbolts,” and “Blade.” Shoot me now.
