A fun and entertaining ride that is uneven sometimes ....
Starting with the positives, one thing this time marvel has done brilliantly is KANG, all boxes ticked, even he is a mass murderer you want him to do that, the connection with him feels very natural and lives the hype. Jonathon Majors kills it with one of the best performances in the entire MCU. The movie sets him very well and makes the audience excited for what's to come next. Apart from that CGI looks good, a bit sloppy sometimes but manages to do well. Paul Rudd is excellent and charming as always. Exploration of quantum realm is good and gives an insight to it which was needed to explain the past and the future as well. The third act of the movie brings good action and thrill to the movie.
Now the negatives, its true the film does the world building for the MCU, but as a standalone film it fails, certain relationships needed more time to mature, Humor is not like Love and Thunder but still misses a few times. MODOK is riot. The first act of the movie is disappointing, and the pacing was abrupt. Certain things in quantum realm didn't make much sense and were somehow not needed.
Overall, it's a different film from MCU and a powerful addition.
Rating: 8.5/10(1 star extra for Majors!)
