Last night, the kids and I went to the pictures, to see the latest Marvel film – Ant Man & The Wasp: Quantumania.

Ant Man has never been one of my more favoured protagonists from the Marvel cannon, but I do like Paul Rudd’s portrayal of the character and I did enjoy the previous two efforts, so this one was always going to be on the cards for us.

Also, this is the first film in Phase 5, so whoever the big bad guy is in this one, he’s also likely to feature as the big bad guy in all the films that Marvel release over the next couple of years.

He’s the new Thanos.

Of course, ‘he’ could be a ‘she’… I’m not saying.

But, unfortunately, this film just didn’t work for me.  It was too silly (yes, I know all Marvel films are silly, but this one was a little too much for my tastes) and it just didn’t hold my attention.

In fact, I fell asleep half way through and missed a big chunk of it.

Also – as is to be expected in a film like this – there was a lot of CGI. It was good, but it didn’t feel as well done as in some other films – I’m thinking here of the recent Avatar- Way Of Water, where the CGI was done so well, that I didn’t feel I was watching animated characters.

Overall, I enjoyed most of what I saw though and I’m suitably impressed with the new bad guy. It’s enough to give me hope for the future releases in this phase of the MCU.
