In his review of the movie, PvNew chief film critic Owen Gleiberman wrote, “‘Quantumania’ is fun, as well as bedazzling, relentless and numbing, then fun again just when you think you’ve had enough; all of that gets mashed together.” He added, “I’ve rarely encountered a Marvel adventure that’sthisbusy with a do-or-die saving-the-cosmos plot that feelsthismuch like it exists simply to set up the next dozen chapters of something.”
