Ant-Man and The Wasp | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

FAQs

What does it mean to be 100% on Rotten Tomatoes? ›

The percentage is based on the film's reviews aggregated by the website and assessed as positive or negative, and when all aggregated reviews are positive, the film has a 100% rating.

The first Ant-Man's Rotten Tomatoes score is 83 percent, exactly the same as the MCU's average, and Ant-Man and the Wasp's Rotten Tomatoes score is 87 percent, giving the Ant-Man movies an 85 percent average before Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania's 53 percent score brings the trilogy average to 74 percent.

Fresh red tomato. When at least 60% of reviews for a movie or TV show are positive, a red tomato is displayed to indicate its Fresh status. Green splat tomato. When less than 60% of reviews for a movie or TV show are positive, a green splat is displayed to indicate its Rotten status.

Why Cassie Lang Was Recast In Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania. With original Cassie Lang actress Fortson being too young to play the aged-up version of Scott Lang's daughter after Avengers: Endgame's 5-year time jump, as the actress was only 12 at the time, the role had to be recast.

The average Rotten Tomatoes user will see a 97 percent score as nearly a masterpiece. “It has to be good,” they might say, or commercials will tell them, “It's the best-reviewed movie of the year!”

Because it's “relatively” easy to get a 100% score after that first handful of reviews (five is the minimum count for a movie to get its Tomatometer), every film listed here has at least crossed the Certified Fresh threshold. Then we sorted them by movies with more reviews featured higher up.

“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” took a sizable hit in its sophom*ore outing at the box office. Ticket sales for the third Marvel movie starring Paul Rudd's subatomic hero were down 69% from its $105 million debut, resulting in the biggest second-weekend drop in the franchise's history.

"Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" is the first film of Phase 5 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Once again directed by Peyton Reed and starring Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly in the title roles, it ranks among the MCU's weakest efforts in its execution of both fun and emotional payoffs.

Ant man and the Wasp is a successful sequel that contains comical moments like the first movie. The special effects and storytelling add elements of science into the MCU. We can see the film being more creative with the idea of "Pym Particles" where objects are being enlarged and downsized more frequently.

In 2011, Warner Bros. acquired Rotten Tomatoes.

Is 78 Rotten Tomatoes good? ›

Scores of over 60 percent are considered fresh, and scores of 59 percent and under are rotten.

This has been happening for years. The PR firm, named Bunker 15, is said to pay as much as $50.00 for a single Rotten Tomatoes review. The payments, which aren't typically disclosed, are usually given to obscure critics who happen to be part of a pool tracked by Rotten Tomatoes.

Fuhrmann replaced Abby Ryder Fortson, who had played the daughter of Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) in his first two cinematic outings as Ant-Man. The character was recast in Endgame due to the 5-year blip caused by Thanos' snap in order to better reflect the time-jump between Ant-Man and the Wasp and Endgame.

Conversely, the filmmakers of Ant-Man noted that they "decided to reimagine [Van Dyne] as a more sympathetic character" and she "didn't give in to her hate the same way her comic book counterpart did and even began aiding her [estranged] father once she found out that a new villain was going to abuse his technology".

The website keeps track of all the reviews counted for each film and calculates the percentage of positive reviews. If the positive reviews make up 60% or more, the film is considered "fresh". If the positive reviews are less than 60%, the film is considered "rotten".

If 60% of reviews are positive, the movie is given a “Fresh” status, but if positive reviews fall below that benchmark, it is deemed “Rotten.” A popular piece of media will typically fall between the 70-90% range, but rarely, a project will receive a 100% score.

As the reviews of a given film accumulate, the Rotten Tomatoes score measures the percentage that are more positive than negative, and assigns an overall fresh or rotten rating to the movie. Scores of over 60 percent are considered fresh, and scores of 59 percent and under are rotten.
