That's a good comparison IMO. Ant-Man was much less ambitious, but more rewarding somehow. Sometimes less is more.Saw it again tonight (second time) and really liked it even more.
Compared to AOU (which I barely made it through once....felt more like I was fulfilling an obligation rather than watching a movie), this one does move well, have a good cast and great effects. Very self contained while still connecting with the MCU.
