Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, le prime reazioni elogiano il Kang di Jonathan Majors

Di Yoel Carlos Schincaglia - 7 Febbraio 2023

La prossima settimana arriverà nei cinema Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, il terzo capitolo dedicato all’eroe interpretato da Paul Rudd e primo film dell’attesa Fase 5 del Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ieri c’è stata la prima proiezione del film a Los Angeles, e nelle scorse ore sono arrivate sul web le prime reazioni del pubblico e della critica.

In generale i pareri sono abbastanza positivi, soprattutto quelli riguardo Kang, il villain principale del film interpretato da Jonathan Majors. Nei vari commenti si può leggere come il villain sia definito una forza della natura e infinitamente avvincente. Anche chi non è rimasto soddisfatto dal film si è ritrovato innamorato di Kang, tranne Sean Kean di CNET, che ha definito la sua minaccia troppo astratta. Alcuni commenti positivi riguardano anche la Janet van Dyne di Michelle Pfeiffer – definita tosta – e il rapporto tra Cassie e Scott, mentre ci sono pareri discordanti su MODOK.

Molti hanno definito il film un ottimo sci-fi con tanto umorismo, cuore e azione (tanto che sembra avere un vibe da Star Wars) anche se alcuni hanno criticato alcuni risvolti narrativi e il suo primo atto. Viene sottolineato che il film rappresenta praticamente l’inizio di qualcosa di molto più grande più che il film conclusivo di una trilogia. Viene inoltre segnalata la presenza di due scene post credit molto belle e importanti. Per Mike Ryan il film potrebbe essere difficile da capire per spettatori novizi dell’MCU, soprattutto per i discorsi riguardanti il multiverso.

Had an absolute blast watching #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania. Creative, irresistibly energetic and filled with some great action sequences. Welcome Jonathan Majors -such a bad ass. The effects are superb. pic.twitter.com/KdVB7qvl2E

#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania has way too much going on — it’s tough to connect emotionally to any of it. Jonathan Majors’ Kang is a charismatic, intense baddy and visually awesome, but the threat he represents is too abstract. Review @CNET on Feb. 14. pic.twitter.com/42bDJobRgc

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA … trying to imagine a Marvel novice, “one ticket please,” then getting two hours of variant and multiverse talk. Jonathan Majors is great as Kang and for a good portion of the movie Michelle Pfeiffer is the main character, which is awesome

PHASE 5 HAS BEGUN! The new #AntMan movie is like a psychedelic rollercoaster full of frightening & hilarious oddities, plus one VERY menacing Kang. Big STAR WARS vibes meet the MCU at its freakiest & most inventive. MODOK is a riot, but Jonathan Majors conquers. Loved the ride! pic.twitter.com/gdJqHld3rT

Jonathan Majors is HIM & is the standout. There’s 2 post credit scenes & they will leave you HYPED! The Quantum Realm is explored in a way creative way. Modok got done DIRTY! The 3rd act picks up the film in a very big way. This is all I’ll say for now…

Marvel’s #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania is a strong start to Phase 5. I now understand why it’s called #Quantumania. JonathanMajors is excellent as Kang and cannot wait to see where this all goes. 2 after the credits scenes and both are very good. pic.twitter.com/62Ch3w2O5N

#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania gives some heavy Star Wars vibes! Fantastic performance from Jonathan Majors who is incredible as the big bad villain. Make sure to stay for 2 post credit scenes!

The best Star Wars movie since 2018 is #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania. It’s a huge sci-fi adventure with gorgeous world building that feels almost little un-Marvel in how much world building there is. But it’s got humor, heart, Kang completely rules & Michelle Pfeiffer steals it. pic.twitter.com/vRO2Poko2s

There comes a point where every franchise has to get weird, and the MCU has done just that with #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania. Like all his other roles, Jonathan Majors remains endlessly compelling. 👍👍 pic.twitter.com/cxWEcoKTze

After a frustratingly rough act 1, #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania finally gets going, only to end where this story should’ve began. While the external stakes are clear & weighty, emotional drive felt slight (and levity even lighter). That said, Jonathan Majors rules. pic.twitter.com/qpZeKTgdUd

Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania is a lot of fun with lots going on. I loved seeing Scott and Cassie’s relationship and the Quantum realm. Michelle Pfeiffer is such a bad ass. Pay close attention to everything Kang says. This is just the beginning. #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania pic.twitter.com/uGqF5iI6gn

Had a great time kicking off Phase 5 w/ #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania

Engaging fast paced storytelling w/ humor, heart & tons of action…so much NEW that locked me back into the MCU.

Get excited & get tiny.

Kang just gave the MCU a swift kick in the butt it needed🐜 #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania

#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania wasn’t the most entertaining MCU movie I’ve seen. Disappointed that this is how we’re entering Phase 5, but narratively it does mark the beginning of a multiversal narrative that can literally go anywhere. Btw 1 mid-credits scene + 1 post-credits. pic.twitter.com/xttA2NaGmd

A proposito di Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
