Why I think Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania bombed..

 Hi www

In very short.. Katy O'Brian's acting was so poor in her first scene, and so little was explained to Hank, who was us on this journey.. what where the names of the first aliens that helped us? what was the name of the cantina?

Katy O'Brian is *excellent* in the Mandalorian (excellent villain!) .. for Mando I'd give her 8/10. For Ant-Man QM.. 1 or 2 or 3.. 3 at best, no I'm being too generous!.. 1 or 2/10. 

5 being competent. No Oscars won, but in no way hurt the production.

1. Katy O'Brian miscast 2.Poor story layout 3. Too much 'glossing over' what is happening, at times where the audience needed that depth (see above for examples).

The rest was actually good.. especially Paul Rudd.. whose comedic acting was on point. I really can't fault the main cast.. even Corey Stoll raised a smile and didn't let the production down, even with the slightly awkward lines he had.. he just about pulled them off with decent comedy.. and yes FEELZ <3. Well done Mr. Stoll!

I'm a huge Bill Murray fan.. but his character just functioned as a plot device to betray the heroes. He had one comedic moment.. which *did* work.. but with the lack of exposition, the exposition we needed before we met him and J.Van Dyne simply brushing everything off when a explanation was called for.. no.

Ms. Lilly did not have any standout scenes.. however she (along with Ms. John-Kamen as Ghost) took a front seat in the previous movie, while Paul Rudd played for comedy.

I'd enjoy seeing a Goliath/Ghost movie. A pulp fiction of revenge.. think Kill Bill but with phasing superpowers.
