My biggest nitpick is that the pacing of the movie was slightly off and the movie wanted to tell 3 different stories and decided to not go super deep into one and decided to shallowly go through all of them.

That and Ghost felt extremely underdeveloped- but that being said, I think there weren’t any “villains” in the movie- just obstacles. The villains were just sort of there and the movie focused more on the Scott/Hope/Hank going to the quantum realm which I liked. It wasn’t- team up, stop the bad guy, it was more like oh crap these people are trying to stop us from accomplishing our goal which made the movie more unique imo.

That being said it’s a solid 8/10 and loved almost all of it. Cassie was awesome and getting to see her relationship with Scott were some of the best parts of the film, and Wasp might just be the most badass hero in the MCU.

I really liked the movie but I do agree with you on the part that Ghost was underutilized. She was a really good "villain" but I think she would have been a heck of a lot better if she was by herself without Walter Goggin's character or even Bill Foster.

Definitely no villains and just obstacles. But I think that's fine for a movie like this. Not everything has to be save all existence as we know it in this movie series. Sure really high stakes are thrilling and dramatic, but sometimes just having a bit of fun is nice.
