Here is My Movie Review of Ant-Man and The Wasp Quantum Mania

 


Here is My Movie Review of Ant-Man and The Wasp Quantum Mania




So basically what happens is that it takes place years after Avenger Endgame. you have Scott Lang/Antman and he has written this book called Look out for the little guy. Then he gets the call that his daughter Cassie  is in jail. So they drive home and she tells her dad  she, Hank, Hope,and Janet have been working on this machine that can send signals to the quantum realm. But the machine starts to now function and they all get sucked into the quantum realm. Then Scott and Cassie get Captured and held hostage to Kang the Conqueror. So he makes a deal to them if they help him fix his time machine he will let them out but it turns out he was tricking them so he can get out Quantum Realm. so it's up to Scott Lang / Antman, Cassie Lang/ Stature, Hank Pym, Janet Van Dyne/The wasp and hope Van Dyne / the Wasp to take down Kang the conquer and get out of the Quantum Realm and that's basically what the story is for this movie. 




Now the acting in the Ant-Man movies are tremendous I did take these films do have consistent qualities of the performances because each movie they get better and better and here is no exception all the acting is terrific.



Paul Rudd probably gives his best performance as Scott Lang / Ant-Man Because he is the biggest standout in the entire film. What I like about Scott Lang is that how much the MCU has done a amazing job developing this character because in the first Ant-Man movie he was a small time criminal and he wanted to spend more time with his daughter but to do that he had to learn how to be a hero and they had to become Ant-Man to do that. In the second movie he had to help Hope Van Dyne and Hank Pym rescue Janet Van Dyne from the Quantum Realm. In Avengers Endgame Ant-Man had to help the Avengers time travel back in time to retrieve the Infinity Stones and bring back everyone who had been snapped away by Thanos. In this movie he has to rescue His daughter Cassie  from Kang the Conqueror and try to get everyone out of the Quantum Realm The scene where Ant-Man is when he first meets Kang the Conqueror Not only is it a really suspenseful and showing moment but it makes sense because Kang The Conqueror Doesn't mess around because he mentions if Ant-Man doesn't help him with his time machine he will kill him and everyone he knows and cares about. It is probably one the darkest moments in the Ant-Man Trilogy. The chemistry between him Evangeline Lily, Michael Douglas, Corey Stoll, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kathryn Newton, and Jonathan Majors is tremendous. 



Evangeline Lily Probably gave her best performance as Hope Van Dyne/ The Wasp. What I like about hope Van Dyne / the wasp is that the MCU has done an amazing job developing her as a character because in the first movie she was moaning over the lost of her mother because she was stuck in the Quantum Realm. In the second movie she wanted to get her mother out of the room and in this movie she is questioning what her mother is so afraid of In the Quantum realm. The scene were Hope Van Dyne/The Wasp Find out that her mother has been stuck in the quantum room and she never told her is not only is it a really sad and really Tragic moment but it makes sense because she never told her daughter about Kang. It is probably one of the most heartbreaking moments of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Paul Rudd is terrific.


Michael Douglas at Hank Pym still does an astonishing job as the character though he's not in the movie a whole lot but I think for what he does have he is still entertaining. Now Hank Pym as a character has changed a lot because in the first Ant-Man movie he was really hardened because he thought his wife was dead and he did believe that Scott Lang should be Ant-Man but at the end he does gain his trust and he becomes his mentor and help him reconnect with his daughter Cassie. In the second movie he wants brings his wife back by getting her out of the quantum realm so he and his daughter Hope can be a family again. Now in this movie Hank Pym have to Help Ant-Man get out of the quantum realm And take down Kang and M.O.D.O.K because He thought his old mentor Darren cross was dead but in reality was not. The scene where Hank Pym sees Darren cross again is not only a really surprising moment but it made sense because he thought he died in the quantum realm. It is probably a shocking moments of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Paul Rudd is still excellent. 



Michelle Pfeiffer has a lot more to do as Janet Van Dyne / the Wasp than she did in the second movie And she probably gives one of her best performances in the MCU because you can tell that she is having a lot of fun in this film. Now the character of Janet Van Dyen/ the wasp is a really incredible character because you can see that there's stuff that she doesn't want to talk about because of the trauma machine went through when she was stuck in the quantum realm with Kang so when she eventually tells her husband and her daughter what happened it is a really heavy and some of dramatic moments in the MCU and scenes involving Janet Van Dyne and her daughter Hope are some of the strongest moments in this entire film. The chemistry between her and Paul Rudd is astounding.




Kathryn Newton plays Cassie Lang/Stature In the film. I have to say she does a terrific job as the character and she is probably my favorite performance in the film she that gives one the most captivating one of the most entertaining performances in the film. Now the character of Cassie Lang/Stature Is really interesting because a lot of people say that she is unlikable But to be completely honest I didn't really mind this because she is a teenager she's kind of mad that her dad is not spending enough time with sort of so when she get the arguments with Scott Lang / Ant-Man it does make a lot of sense of why she'll be acting like that. Although she does appreciate her dad in the third act she gives this really Terrific and epic speech. and then Scott Lang / Ant-Man is really proud of her. The scene where Cassie Lang/Stature grows really big and then she hugs Ant-Man is not only a really beautiful in touching moment but it makes sense because she really cares about her dad and wants to make him happy. It is probably one of the most touching moments of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Paul Ride is terrific.

 

William Jackson Harper plays Quaz In the film. Now he doesn't play a big role in the movie. But I have to say he still does a terrific job as the character. Now Quaz as a character is really interesting because they've shown to be very smart and he wants to help Scott Lang/Ant-Man take down Kang The Conquer and get out of the quantum realm. Probably the best moment with Quaz is where Scott Lang / Ant-Man says You can read mines Then Quaz Says yeah I really wish couldn't because everyone is really disgusting.¨ Not only was it really funny but it makes sense because Quaz did not like having telepathic abilities. It is probably one of the funniest moments of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Paul Rudd is perfect.


Corey Stoll reprises his role as Darren Cross In this film. I have to say he still does a spectacular job as the character because you can tell that Corey Stoll is having a lot of fun as this character. Now the character of Darren Cross it's really interesting because in the first film He wanted the ant-Man suit to weaponize it and send it to evil organization like Hydra and the 10 rings that's why he made the yellow jacket suit for a military purpose And he wanted to kill Hank Pym Because he took everything away from him and ruined his life. So Scott Lang / Ant-Man had to kill Darren Cross and banish him into the quantum realm. Now in this film Darren cross comes back but he has been mutated by Kang The Conqueror and was turned into the mechanized organism designed only for killing aka M.O.D.O.K And he wants revenge on Scott Lang/Ant-Man For banishing him to the quantum realm. To be honest I think he's the only motivation makes sense and to be completely honest I don't think M.O.D.O.K Is a horrible MCU villain because there are far worth ones like Coral from the Eternals and Aldridge Killian from Iron Man 3 I think those villains are way worse because at least M.O.D.O.K is entertaining and is accurate to the comic books even though this movie does change a few things about the character I didn't really mind the changes I actually think that they were really interesting. Now I talk about the CGI for M.O.D.O.K to be completely honest I don't think it's that bad because I do actually like the design of M.O.D.O.K that has depicted in this film. To be honest i think the Flash has worst CGI because it just looks so horrible to look at. The scene M.O.D.O.K Dies is really over the top and silly but I never really hated this scene I always found it really funny just the fact that Darren Croft admits that here they horrible person and they he tries to kill Kang and fails and he says well at least I died as Avenger. To be honest I think the scene where The Chameleon sings a Harry Style song in Craven the Hunter is way more cringe worthy and not really funny at all. Fun fact actors Keith David, Patton Oswalt, Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Josh Brolin, John Hamm,Seth Green, Tom Hiddleston, Paul Rudd, Zach McGowan, Peter Dinklage, Billy Bob Thornton, Jim Carrey were all considered to voice M.O.D.O.K. The chemistry between him and Paul Rudd is astounding.




Jonathan Majors plays Kang The Conqueror in this film. I have to say he still does a tremendous job as the character. Now the character of Kang The Conqueror is very threatening and very interesting because his motivation is that he wants to get out of the quantum realm so he can take over the multiverse and kill every variant of him self so he could be the only Kang In the universe. Probably the best moment with Kang The Conqueror Anyway says to Scott Lane / Antman ¨ You think this is new to me?¨ Do you know how many rebellions I've talked down.¨ How many worlds I've conquered.¨ How may Avengers¨ I've killed and do you think you can beat me I'am Kang.¨ You talk to ants.¨ Not only was it really intense but it makes sense because he has traveled around the multiverse killing countless Avenger variants. Now as much as I like Kang in this movie the biggest problem with him is that they just over hyped him because I felt like they were trying to make him the next Thanos. I think they should have waited until like phase seven or eight to introduce him and the next big villain. Now I will say this Kang The Conqueror is Way better than Kro from the internals because that character had no redeeming qualities about him well Kang The Conqueror had a lot of memorable and powerful moments and Jonathan Majors gives a glorious performance. The rivalry between him and Scott Lang / Antman is perfect. Fun fact actors like Michael B Jordan, Jeffrey Wright, Christian Bale, Yahya Abdoul-Mateen II, John David Washington, Idris Elba, Mahershala Ali, and Lakeith Stanfield were all considered to play Kang The Conqueror. The chemistry between him and Paul Rudd is astounding.



The directing By Payton Reed Is interesting because I do think he gets a lot of stuff right like how he makes the relationship between Scott Lang/ ant-Man And his daughter Cassie much stronger than it was in the first two films because in the first films They had tremendous chemistry but here they push it even further in this film. I also like how he makes this film a lot darker than the first two films because the first two were light-hearted well this one is pretty dark because you have stuff with Janet And her past with King which really haunts her But then you'll have Kang The Conqueror Who Almost killed Ant-Man when they first meet in the film he almost kills Ant-Man's daughter buying snapping her neck until Aunt man demand them to stop. But I will say he does put some light heartiness in this film to make it like the first two movies like Ant-Man is still funny M.O.D.O.K´s death is hilarious. I think he does A terrific job balancing the tone Of the film. Now I will say though he does a pretty decent job of adapting King into this film but I did wish kept Kang consistent the Route the whole movie because for the first two-thirds he is really scary but by the third act when he gets attacked by ants I will say that was really dumb and really weird. But other than that I think he does a decent job of directing this film.



So in conclusion I don't think this movie is as horrible as a lot of people ben saying it is because there is a lot of stuff I enjoy about this movie the storyline even though it is the weakest one in the Ant-Man Trilogy i do think it was interesting having it take place in the quantum realm and have an Ant-Man go up against King were they great concept and I did for the most part the film executes it pretty well there are moments especially in the last ac was little shaky and a little weird but I think overall the storyline was really interesting. Also I think the performances are remarkable. The two standout performances are from Paul Rudd and Michelle Pfeiffer I think both of them do a splendid job as the characters. I did that they had tremendous chemistry throughout the film. I still think Kang is it really entertaining and fun Bell and he has a lot of fun and really dark moments. I did think his backstory with Janet Was really intense and really disturbing it does fit with the tone of this film because this film is the darkest out of the Ant-Man films. I would also say that M.O.D.O.K was really fun and entertaining and I didn't mind the changes to the character. I still think this is one of the most underrated films of 2023 because I don't think it is as horrible as a lot of people say it is because I would rather watch this over Kraven The Hunter figure that film is garbage. I think this film is up there with Furiousa A Mad Max Saga with Ayna-Taylor Joy as one of the most underrated films of the 2020s. I highly recommend you watch this film especially if you like the first two Ant-Man films which also star Paul Rudd. I give this movie a 8/10.

Here is My Movie Review of Prisoners

 


Here is My Movie Review of Prisoners




So basically what happens is that you have this guy named Keller Dover and he has a daughter named Anna who is 6 Years old then one day Anna and her friend mysteriously go missing  and Keller Dover Wants to find his missing daughter so he has the help of Detective Loki and together they have to do everything their power to find Anna and that is basically what the story is for this movie. 



The acting in this movie is probably the best acting I have ever seen in a Hugh Jackman film. I could tell everyone is doing a tremendous job playing their characters. 



Hugh Jackman plays Keller Dover he does an astonishing job as the character of Keller Dover. What makes Keller Dover such an awesome character is that you really feel bad for him  because he wants to do everything in his power to be reunited with his daughter. Probably the best moment with Keller Dover Is when he interrogates Alex Jones in the bathroom and demands him to tell where his daughter is, which is probably the most suspenseful scene in the entire film because he is demanding Alex Jones to tell him where his daughter might be. The chemistry between him and Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano, Viola Davis, Terrence Howard, and David Dastmalchian Is remarkable


Jake Gyllenhaal Plays Detective Loki and I have to say he does a fantastic job as the character of Detective Loki. What makes Detective Loki such an excellent character is that he desperately wants to help Keller Dover find his daughter. Probably the best scene with detective Loki is where he and Keller Dover In the car because Keller Dover doesn't need his help to find at the door any wants to do it by himself It is probably the best character interaction in the film. This is probably my 4th favorite Jake Gyllenhaal performance. Fun fact 6 Years after this movie came out Jake Gyllenhaal would later go on to play Mysterio in Spider-Man Far from home The chemistry between him and Hugh Jackman is outstanding.




Viola Davis plays Nancy Birch In the film. I have to say she does a terrific job as the character of Nancy Birch. Now Nancy Birch as a character is really interesting because all she wants to do is to be reunited with her daughter. Probably the best moment with Nancy Birch Is when she is in the hospital talking to her daughter. Not Only was it really powerful but it makes sense because it shows that Nancy Birch really cares about her kid. It is probably the most emotional scene in the entire film. The chemistry between her and Hugh Jackman is extraordinary



Terrence Howard plays Franklin Birch In the film. I have to say he does a remarkable job as the character of Franklin Birch. What makes Franklin Birch Character is much like his wife Nancy Birch he also wants to be reunited with his daughter. Probably the best moment with Franklin Birch is at  the beginning of the movie where He and his daughter Joy Birch are bonding. Not only is it really heartwarming but it makes sense because it shows that Franklin Birch really care about her. It is probably  the most powerful moment in the entire film. 



Paul Dano isn't in this movie as much but for what he has he does a marvelous job at the character of Alex Jones. What makes Alex Jones such an intimidating character is that he is basically a lunatic in this movie. Probably the best moment with Alex Jones is where Detective Loki questions him if he kidnapped the two children. Not only was it really disturbing but it makes sense because detective Loki believes that Alex it the one responsible for the kidnapping of the cute girls It is probably the most suspenseful scene in the entire film.  Now is this my favorite Paul Dano performance? Well it is probably my third favorite Paul Dano performance. My favorite Paul Dano performance is the Riddler from The Batman. The chemistry between him and Hugh Jackman is tremendous. 


However The actor that stole the entire entire movie is David Dastmalchian as Bob Taylor. Now Bob Taylor such as a Terrific character because he is basically kind of like the Joker in this film and they are both are psychopathic. Probably the darkest scene is where he is getting targeted by Detective Loki and he goes so crazy that he literally takes the gun, puts it in his mouth and pulls the trigger and kills himself. It is probably the most disturbing moment of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Hugh Jackman is remarkable. 


The directing by Denis Villeneuve Is very interesting because what I like about his directing is that he does a Fantastic job tackling the subject of people getting kidnapped. What's really disturbing is that in real life there are people who get kidnapped. I also  like how he take the subject matter really seriously. I think it is really Spectacular how he did that. 



So in conclusion I really enjoyed this movie. I think the storyline was fun. This is probably up there with gravity with George Clooney and one of the best films of 2013. This movie and also probably up there with Joker and one of his darkest films of the 2010s I still think this is Jake Gyllenhaal's 3rd best movie I've ever seen. I think he and Hugh Jackman had really magnificent chemistry throughout the movie. I still think more people should watch this movie especially if you like The Batman with Paul Dano. I give this movie a 10/10.

Here is My Movie Review of Southpaw

 


 Here is My Movie Review of Southpaw



 So basically what happens is that you have this championship boxer named Billy Hope  who has been boxing for a long time.  But one day  there is this guy named  Miguel Ecocar who kills his wife Maureen Hope  and  by committing too much  violence the court has decided to take his child away from him. It is up to Billy Hope to seek revenge on Miguel Escobar and be reunited with his daughter Leila Hope.  That is basically what  the story is for this movie. 





 

The acting in this movie is remarkable. I think everyone gives it their best and you could tell all the actors are having fun in the roles. 




 Jake Gyllenhaal plays Billy Hope in this movie and I have to say that he  absolutely nailed it as the character of Billy Hope.  What makes Billy help such a wonderful character is that you really feel bad for him  because he had to watch a daughter be taken away  from him  and he also had to watch his wife die in front of him.  This is probably  Jake Gyllenhaal's best performance in the film.  Probably the best moment with Billy Hope is when he is grieving over the death of his wife Maureen Hope. It is probably the most powerful scene in the entire film.  The chemistry between him and Rachel McAdams,  Forest Whitaker,  Miguel Gomez, and Oona Laurence  is outstanding. 


Forest Whitaker  plays Billy Hope ´ s trainer Tick Willis. I have to say he does a remarkable job as the character of Tick Willis.  What makes Tick Willis  such a  spectacular character is that  he really wants to help Billy Hope train for  his match against Miguel Escobar. Probably the best scene in the movie is where Tick Willis  is training Billy Hope  to get back into the ring. It is probably the strongest moment in the film.  the chemistry between him and Jake Gyllenhaal is astounding. 


 Rachel McAdams is not in this movie a whole lot but for what she does have, she  does a fantastic job as the character of Maureen Hope.  What makes Maureen Hope  such a sympathetic character is that she really cares about her husband Billy Hope.  Probably the   saddest part of the entire film is where she dies right in front of her husband Billy Hope; it is probably the most depressing scene of the entire movie.  The chemistry between her and  Jake Gyllenhaal  is excellent.



 Miguel Gonez  plays Billy's Archival Miguel Escobar. I have to say he does a flawless job as the character of Miguel Escobar.  What makes Miguel Escobar  such an awesome rival is that  he is really tough and really intimidating.   Probably the best moment with  Escobar  and during the match where he  attacks Billy Hope it is probably the most intense scene of the entire film. The rivalry between him and Billy Hope is fantastic.  The chemistry between him and   Jake Gyllenhaal is remarkable. 




However, the absolute big standout of the entire film is Oona  Laurence  as Leila Hope.  What makes Leila Hope  such a sympathetic character  is that you really feel sorry for because all she wants is to spend time with her dad.  probably the best  moment with Leila Hope  is when she's in the courtroom with her dad Billy Hope and the police take her away  and you see her breakdown crying because she doesn't want to be away from her dad and it is probably the most emotional and the most depressing moment throughout the entire film.  The relationship between her and Billy Hope  is astounding.  The chemistry between her and   Jake Gyllenhaal is phenomenal. 



 The directing by Antoine Fuqua  is tremendous because what I like about his directing is that he does a great job of rackling the subject of  child custody  because  and what is really sad is that in real life there are kids who get taken away from their parents. I think it is really amazing how he did that. 



 

So in conclusion I really enjoyed this movie.  I think this is one of Jake Gyllenhaal's best movies.  I think this is my new favorite  Jake Gyllenhaal movie.  I think this is one of the best movies of 2015.  I think this is a really underrated sports drama film that I think more people should watch if you enjoy Rush with Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhi. I give this movie a 10/10.

Here is My Movie Review of Accidental Love

 


Here is my movie review of Accidental Love



So basically what happens is that you have this woman named Alice Eckle And she goes on a date with her boyfriend Scott at a restaurant and then she gets Sean head by a nail gun and the nail gets large into her head so they try to get out at the hospital but they find out she Insurance so they can't get the nail out of her hand so she decided to go to the senator to hopefully get the nail out of her head and that's basically what the story is for this movie is just a stupid stupid romantic poetical romance story.



The acting in this movie is probably the worst acting I have ever seen in a romantic comedy. I don't think anyone does a great job as any of the characters and it was really disappointing that there are really good actors in this movie; they're just not funny in this film at all.


Jessica Biel plays Alice Eckle and I have to say she is terrible in this movie because she just goes over the top. She's really overly Cheesy and her line delivery. The character of Alice Eckle Is just a whiny little bitch who just wants the nail out of her head and to be honest I didn't give a shit about her character because she's just whiny and bitchy and even at the end where she With Howard Birdwell I just didn't care about the relationship they have no chemistry whatsoever and also the chemistry between her and Jake Gyllenhaal is not strong at all. Probably the dumbest scene in the entire movie is where Alice Eckle Gives her boyfriend Scott the middle finger. The way I can sum up the scene is basically the scene from Always Be My Maybe where Sasha gives her boyfriend the middle finger But it wasn't funny or entertaining. Also again the chemistry between her and Jake Gyllenhaal is okay.



James Marsden plays Alic Eckle ´ s boyfriend Scott in the film and this is probably the worst performance I have ever seen from James Marsden and what Is really disappointing is that he is a tremendous actor. If you want to see a better James Marsden performance then go Go watch Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Play Tom Wachowski because that is a much better performance than the performance they gave as Scott in this movie. Also the chemistry between him and Jessica Beal is Average Also the relationship between Scott and Alice Eckle was garbage 



Tracy Morgan plays Alice Eckle´s friend Keyshawn and much like I said with James Marsden he is horrible as this character. Keyshawn of character is not funny Because all the jokes that he has are just dumb references and by far the dumbest joke in this movie Is where Alice Eckle Is that the press Conference for Howard Birdwell's moon base and someone randomly called him Kanye West and is not funny It is just really cringe worthy and really dumb. The chemistry between Him and Jessica Biel is okay


 However as bad as James Marsden is as Scott I'm sorry to say Jake Gyllenhaal  rivals him as the worst performance ever in the entire film as Howard Birdwell. What's really sad is that Jake Gyllenhaal is a fantastic actor because he could be either funny or unstable He could be funny in a movie like in Bubble Boy as Jimmy Livingston or he could be unstable like in the movie Nightcrawler as Louis Bloom. The character of Howard Bardwell is really Unlikable because he lies to  Alice's face That he can help her get the nail out of her head but in reality he wanted to Get his moon base to happen. Also the romance between him and Alice Is one of the worst relationships I have ever seen in a film because I don't believe anything in the romance between the two characters. I bought more of the romance between Jimmy Livingston and Chloe in Bubble Boy than I did with Alice and Howard in the film.  But luckily Jake Gyllenhaal redeemed himself with movies like Okja. Fun fact actor Ryan Reynolds was considered to play Howard Birdwell. The chemistry between her and Jessica Biel is decent


The directing by David O Russell Is awful because I don´t know what he wants this movie to be that he wanted to be a romantic comedy or a serious medical drama I seriously don't know because the movie does not take it seriously whatsoever because it just thinks it's funny if And the two lead characters are arguing throughout the whole movie and it's not funny it's just really dumb.


So in conclusion this is the worst comedy movie I have ever seen. Now is it the worst comedy movie of all time No but probably the second worst because the worst comedy movie of all time is movie 43. This is probably the worst Jake Gyllenhaal movie I have ever seen. If you want a better romantic comedy movie then just go watch Always Be My Maybe with Randall Park. Or go watch Date Night with Steve Carell You'll have much more laughs and be more entertained with Those two films than you would be with this film. I give this movie a 1/10.
