Caught it this weekend, so I read back through this thread to see what people thought. Surprised at the friends-bashing, I thought they were the best thing in the film. Rudd was great, but he did basically play the same character he always does. Really enjoyed it overall.
Stoll was easily the worst thing in the film. His motivations are clear, but
I'm surprised no one else here thought it was hilarious when Pena started humming "It's a Small World After All." I realize it was just another Disney insert, but heck, it was funny!

it never becomes clear why he's nuts. Sometimes it seems to indicate (in some of Pym's lines) that he was always a bit off, and the fact that his mentor kept this big secret from him drove him mad. But then there's ONE throwaway line from Hope that says the Pym particles drove him crazy. Which is it? I get that there's something about exposure to the particles that you can't do it forever - Pym made that clear - but there's no indication it would drive you mad, or else Pym would be in a straight jacket, and he'd NEVER agree to Hope taking on Wasp at the end. And if Cross has been exposed to particles so much just in his experiments, wouldn't Hope be messed up too? It seemed like she was by his side as he worked on them 24/7. I assume there was some editing here that made it unclear.
