As has been the case going back to 2008, this Marvel movie is being held up as the next big test to see if Marvel can do

Paul Rudd simply embodied Scott Lang. Lovable and extremely smart but a loser so far in life.
Michael Douglas was terrific as Hank (and, incidentally, the CGI de-aging they did on him in the opening scene was amazing).
Evangeline Lilly's Hope was an unexpected strong point of the story. There's been a ton of controversy around the way Janet was going to be handled (or not) in this adaptation which also gets unexpectedly addressed but Hope is actually a really well-realized character. Indeed, of all the MCU female leads, I'd say she has easily the most backstory and the character arc most separate from the male lead (until Peggy got her own show, but that's not in the movies); her real story is with her dad and the legacy of her mother. I know some people have called it a token romance, but the hookup between her and Scott at the end is underplayed to the point where it comes across very casually and not like a big deal (romance plots don't need to be at the center of every story).
Michael Pena's unexpectedly-sophisticated and enthusiastic thief was another highlight. -

Ant-Man is thematically strong and has true depth to every character we see on screen, even the supporting cast. It uses its small size to its advantage and crafts a superb adventure with spellbinding special effects and performances.
That's right, spellbinding. -

This is a damned if you do; damned if you don't scenario on a couple of levels. "IF" the directors were given free reign, the critics (and many fans) would be complaining about how MCU doesn't hold together; how this, that, and the other thing didn't make sense. "In Thor, blah, blah, blah, but in TWS, blah, blah, blah..it doesn't make any sense and there's no continuity."
As it is, we get complaints about how tightly Marvel controls everything and a movie can't "breathe" or whatever.
Hey, pick your poison. If somebody needs to pick through stuff and find something to complain about, fine. I'd rather just go to a movie, sit back and enjoy it (given that it's good) and let the critics do their job. And they did. We all loved this film. -

Like two beautiful creatures trapped in a prison of another's design, like a madman lost in a supermarket. One freed, the other dies in a glass tomb which used to contain farts. Perhaps it is fitting, for what was the butterfly other than a symbol of the boys innocence that perished days before. Killed by the very soul he tried to save.
