Okay, you're free to have your own opinion, but frankly I think what you're saying contains some questionable analysis...
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier (which was simply a 2 hour special of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. with boring and confusing action scenes believed to be a political thriller)"
... No it wasn't. Have you actually watched Agents of SHIELD?! These two had nothing in common besides both involving the HYDRA/SHIELD twist. The protagonists weren't the same, the action and effects were different... really, oversimplifying doesn't begin to describe what you say.
"Actually, I'm getting bored with the Avengers and SHIELD"
Then you might want to stop watching Marvel.
"I had more fun with Mad Max: Fury Road, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation and Jurassic World than with Ant-Man"
I honestly find it insulting that you'd consider Jurassic World more fun than Antman. Then again that's just me.
Aside from these specific points bugging me, you are free to feel the way you want about this movie. Personally, I had a great time with it, and I disagree with your point of view. But, hey, to each his own as they say.
Starting off randomly hating on Winter Soldier (especially since its more a spy-thriller than a political-thriller) was probably not the best way to start this, but hey, everyone has their own opinion.
I also question how you found Jurassic World much more fun than Ant-Man. Aside from a few moments here and there (T-Rex vs. I-rex, Bird rampage), I found JW extremely boring due to its extremely flat characters outside Pratt and perhaps Dallas.

Good but...
After the utter disappointments of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (which was simply a 2 hour special of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. with boring and confusing action scenes believed to be a political thriller) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (which was promised to be a BIG adventure but ended up in nothing because of editing reasons), I didn't expect very much from Ant-Man.
Actually, I'm getting bored with the Avengers and SHIELD, slowing my hype over Civil War and focusing my attention on other much more interesting and risky projects like Daredevil or Jessica Jones. But that's another story.
The adventures of Scott Lang only provided me slight entertainment as it was a quite average and forgettable adventure with fine performances of most of the cast. Paul Rudd was charming and funny as usual, good ole Michael Douglas was great at portraying the melancholic Hank Pym and Evangeline Lilly was very cute with that bobcut.
My main problem was that, as I mentioned above, I found it average with only a few scenes (Michael Peña's Running Gag for example) that were really funny. Peyton Reed added some great jokes and scenes along with Rudd (the cameos of Falcon and the Bachmann model of Thomas), but didn't make enough to be a great and unique adventure like James Gunn did with Guardians of the Galaxy. Had Edgar Wright not abandoned the project (I heard he wanted to make a very different film, independent from the MCU I think), he would have make something really great, probably closer to Guardians. In conclusion, great ideas, poor execution.
I had more fun with Mad Max: Fury Road, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation and Jurassic World than with Ant-Man, but I'd watch it again over Age of Ultron for sure.
