The Kernel take
A 64 Metascore on a $130M budget isn't bad—the film's $519.312M worldwide gross suggests audiences were more forgiving than critics. That four-to-one return ratio keeps the profit math simple, even if the reviews stayed merely favorable.
Director track record: Peyton Reed
Ant-Man (64) sits well above Peyton Reed's own 52.3-point average across 6 scored films—a notable uptick for the director—though it trails their best-reviewed work, Ant-Man and the Wasp (70).
Lead track record: Paul Rudd
Paul Rudd's 64 here sits above his own 57.4-point average across 22 scored films, but the film falls short of his peak critical reception with Knocked Up (85).
