Ant-man was a really good comedy saddled with too much action baggage. I spent the entire time wishing they would lean in the comedy more. And then the sequel suffered from the same problem, if not worse.
so to hear that they seem to have moved even further into being a standard MCU movie is just highly disappointing. they had a rock-solid comedy cast, but they can't let them just work with that.
(also, another review mentions how once they are in the quantum realm you can't tell how big or small anything is, which (if true) ruins one of the core features of Ant-Man...)
So it seems like Kang is the same onscreen as he’s been in print for decades: a theoretically very dangerous villain with all sorts of eons-spanning machinations but who is in practice really boring and pompous...hooray
The way I ran to add Return to Seoul to my list of 2022 releases (as I believe we are categorizing this film that comes out here in Canada on March 3rd lol) that I still need to catch up with.
On Ant-man, sounds like I will continue my recent trend of waiting to see MCU films when they come to streaming.
As a Korean American who is a unabashed Francophile, I cannot believe a film like Return to Seoul exists!!! Goodness, I just watched the trailer and I cannot wait to see this.
Very late posting here. Just finished watching “Return to Seoul” on a flight. I will need to rewatch it since these weren’t ideal viewing conditions, but wow, even having read the review this was nothing like I expected. The final meeting at Hammond destroyed me. I loved it.
Is Quantumania funny, at least?

I for one am thrilled that the Quantumania trailers might finally, finally end.

The Return to Seoul needle drops were incredible.
