It just doesn't seem that appealing to me. I've watched up through Ultron and I really want to get onto phase 3. Anything of value lost by skipping Ant-Man?

Is it really the best one? I can't imagine it's better than Winter Soldier or GotG.

I think it's worth watching on account of the chemistry and screen presence the characters have
the story is eh and not really relevant to the franchise as a whole though

The MCU is a literal comic book series at this point. They're all different issues in the same run. If you're in for one, you should be in for all.

Why? That did so much to grow that cast of characters, and it's one of the most thematically tight scripts in the franchise.

i mean...he appears in both movies lol. So unless you don't care about how he got there and his relationship with Spider-Man/Falcon then you should probably watch his solo movie.

Nah, he made the right decision in skipping it. It's crazy that it was the worst comic book movie of 2017, a year which saw the release of Justice League.

Actually, I haven't seen that one either. I stopped watching after the first Avengers movie during their original run, but even then I hadn't seen Thor or Hulk. Didn't go back and watch them, in fact I've just started watching again at Winter Soldier. My interest in these movies ebbs and flows, I pretty much just want to watch the essentials from Phase 2 to get to Phase 3 which does interest me.

Ant-Man is great because of all sorts of stuff that makes it fun to watch, like the action sequences and the references to other characters. You get a lot more out of the movie after seeing it and then seeing the MCU movies following it, especially Civil War.
