IMO yes (but I'm a big Edgar Wright fan so I'm biased as fudge lol). The current director explained some of the differences between his version and Wright's version in an interview. It seems Wright's version would have been more of a comedic film that stands on its own while the film now is more emotional, has more MCU ties  and is more "American" (his words not mine, Wright's version probably had humor that was more suitable to British audiences) than Wright's vision of the film. He mentions that Hope's role was expanded after Wright left and an element from the comic was added that wasn't in Wright's version that I think was a pretty cool addition. He also says that the final big fight scene was the moment that stay most intact from Wright's version, which was my favorite part of the whole film. This director seems to be trying to replicate Wright's directional style, as the fight scenes and shrinking scenes are very similar to the early test footage shot by Wright and even though those scenes are the best in the movie, I can't help but feel Wright would have done them better and make them more visually interesting (again, I'm biased so.....)

So yeah, thats my long winded answer, but hey the film is still pretty good! The most common complaint I heard about the film was that all MCU films are starting to feel the same, which I think I can agree with. I think Wright's version of the film would have stood out from the rest of the MCU and given the film a big boost in terms of uniqueness. With the public possibly growing tired of the MCU's formula and the hype for the futrue DC films growing larger, could Marvels reign be coming to an end? 2016 will be the year to find out.
