I agree. I thought Michael Douglas and Paul Rudd carried it.

More, for those of you who've seen it ...

Spoiler!

I also liked Bobby Canavalle, who added humanity to what could have been a two-dimensional douchebag character. Corey Stoll seemed underused - he's really good at playing the guy who's breaking down, like he did in House of Cards, and they didn't seem to let him off his leash. Evangeline Lilly seemed a little too on-the-nose girl-power-y for me, and Ant-Man's ex-con friends just annoyed me.

I loved the way they envisioned the sub-universe, how they made him seem non-ridiculous, and the effects of rapidly growing and shrinking. There were plenty of one-liners to keep us old soldiers happy ("Tales to Astonish!") and the fight between him and Falcon especially was perfectly done.

Considering who she ends up as in the comics, I was totally expecting a super-sized six-year-old by the end, but maybe they're saving that for the sequel.
