I did enjoy this movie. It was funny, had really cool effects, fun action scenes, and a few heartwarming moments. However, I could say the same things for every other movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Incredible Hulk was always my least favorite Marvel movie - it was the only one that I didn't actually like and think was good. I still don't think it's bad and enjoy it quite a bit. That is sort of how I feel about this movie and I think it may actually be my least favorite MCU movie.
I liked the original Ant-man- I thought it was pretty good but even then it was in the bottom 3 MCU movies for me. This movie is very much like the first, but not quite as good. Like the first, this movie is pretty self-contained and light, but it feels like it's juggling a few too many story lines which consequently takes away from the main narrative. Hope is probably the brightest part of the movie, and Micheal Pena delivers most of the good comedy, but Paul Rudd himself doesn't really stand out much. The main villain is decent but felt rushed and Walton Goggins was completely wasted. Throughout the movie I was mostly just mildly entertained. In fact, the most excitement I felt was waiting for the mid-credits scene. The post-credits scene however was a waste of time.
Overall, this is another fun MCU movie, but a pretty forgettable one that doesn't do much to justify it's existence.
