Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniadoes not seem to have a positive impact on the MCU, as the film’s reviewed and critical score suggests. The threequel is getting terrible reviews, as some suggest that the film is not even as good as the previous two films in the series. The lead star of the film reportedly does give his best, as he did with the last two films and his other MCU appearances. Jonathan Majors is also getting praised for his role.
However, according to the critics, even they could not save the story of the film. And the critic score of theAnt-Man 3has many convinced that these reviews for the film would be helpful for the film to compete with the lowest-rated MCU film,Eternals.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: QuantumaniaBecomes the Second Lowest Rated MCU Film
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniafailed to get pleasing reviews from critics.Kevin Feigehas stated that the studio decided to start Phase 5 with Ant-Man in order to utilize the character that is already loved by fans. The film, which opened with a 79% critic score, came down to 58% within an hour.
It currently holds a 53% score on Rotten Tomatoes, which is not very promising for a Marvel film as it has turned out to be the second-lowest-rated MCU film so far. The 2021 filmEternalshas been credited as the lowest-rated film with a 47% critic score.
The 2022 filmThor: Love and Thunder, was previously in second place with a 64% critic score. However, with the ratings and reviews out forAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, it has overtakenThor 4as the second lowest-rated MCU film with its 53% critic score and has made it the second MCU film to have the‘Rotten’status on Rotten Tomatoes with a green splat beside its critic score.
Critics praised the actors’ performances in the film, as they point out the fault in the story. Although some aspects of the film do turn out pretty well, that is not persistent throughout the whole movie.
Depending on the reviews, fans have also shared their thoughts on whether they are looking forward to the film or not. While some belief the reviews to be genuine, others have termed it as an MCU-hating phenomenon, where critics are simply hating the MCU films as they compare them with previous Marvel films likeInfinity WarandEndgame.

Fans’ Thoughts onQuantumania’sRotten Status
With movies likeInfinity WarandEndgame, the MCU had set the bar very high for its future movies. And as the studio continues to move ahead with its new films and phases, the films do not seem to live up to the expectations. The same thing could be happening toAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,which is set to release this week.
You really can’t follow up your big climactic finish with a bunch of Ant-Man and Eternals type affairs. They needed to take a couple years off imo and come out with something strong. This constant drip of mediocrity was the worst thing they could have done.
