If i want to be short:
Is it worth to watch? Sure, it somehow made me smile at the cinema, and it is making you curious about Kang, especially with the two end credit scenes, but dont have too high expectations, just try to enjoy the ride, it has a few unexpected turns, but you get what you can expect from a family oriented Ant-Man franchise.
If you want the long version:
I will not be mean to Marvel, they get enough criticism from everyone.
Kang is in the MCU, lets see how it will play out on the long run.
"Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania" was a wild ride sprinkled with a lot of risk on the part of the storytellers, because i think they only had the concept of what they try to do but they had no talent to make this work.
The characters were played well by the actors, i dont think any of their performances were that bad (maybe Modok and the daughter of Ant-Man felt REALLY out of place, but that was mostly because of the writing), the problem is that Marvel is unable to write a story what captures emotions. At all.
When a character is well written, you know why you like it or why you dislike it, but Marvel in phase 4 failed to show the MCU fans why they should like their characters, they all feel generic, no trademarks or signature moves or character flaws/strenghts which would lift up the characters, the writing is not focusing on those things, but in the superhero genre these are the things which makes the fans go crazy for their heroes.
I cant say that Marvel is not trying, but if it cant pin down EXACTLY what each character means for the MCU and for the fans then they cant move the masses.
Ant-Man at least has Paul Rodd who can play the character and it is not hard to build the story around it.
The reason why i am not willing to give this movie more than a 7 is because the concepts which are thrown into the mix now could have been more clear, more articulated, i cant stop thinking that the whole quantum world and quantum people thing was created half heartedly, just to have a plot device, nobody cares about them or their world and their only reason is to introduce Kang.
I get it, it was easier to do it this way, but that means Marvel is taking shortcuts, and i am not a big fan of the idea.
I felt Kang's presence, the actor did a good job, but even if it is the 3rd movie of the Ant-Man trilogy, i kinda feel like it did not have to be so family friendly, or that the family friendly part could have ended at the 2/3 of the movie and they could have gone for a hardcore ending, showing what Kang really is about, his resolve.
The way the movie is now, it is a strong 6, i only gave it a 7 because i liked Kang, i liked Paul Rodd, but the story writing was still weak.
