This movie had a lot of great action, but it suffered in regards to its story. Explicitly, there were gaps in the story that could have been filled in.
On a related note, Ant-Man got some good action moments, but he felt more out of place compared to Spider-Man.
In the end, I would still recommend this movie as an action movie. I would also add that I wish I had the opportunity to watch Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014) beforehand.

Today I was at the hospital and saw a part of this film while waiting in the lobby. I watched from the scene where War Machine gets shot down to the scene where Tony Stark has chased Bucky Barnes, they're now falling down, and Steve Rogers jumps on for a "group hug."

Instant Comments:
Nice use of his shield. Cooler than previous movies.
Wait, is that Punisher?
What? What happened to Pepper? [Answered shortly]
It is unfair. Given at one point they saved the world.
"Who's putting coffee grounds in a disposal?"
She looks slightly different, but I recognized Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) as being the leading actress in Everwood.
Black Panther?
Hmm. I didn't watch Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Martin Freeman!
Ha. "I know a guy."
Hahaha. "Spider-Boy"
"Not even your unusually attractive aunt?"
This young Peter Parker is a nice angle.
"I'm gonna sit here so you move away."
Lol, they smile after his kiss.
"Hey Buddy I think you lost this!"
Haha. 1 vs. 2. I'd say Spider-Man steals the show here.
Lol. Thought it was a water truck.
"They're not stopping."
What was Ant-Man's motivation for joining? I think that was a little weak.
Haha. References the Hoth scene in Star Wars.
Holy shit.
"Sorry." [Tony gives him a blast.]
Tony uses the term "manchurian candidate" to refer to Bucky being someone who has been brainwashed to execute orders upon receiving a sequence of code words.
"The living aren't done with you yet."
Haha. Stan Lee. "Are you, Tony Stank?"
