The movie was really really really good. Dann near great. 6.8/8
Like it didn't 100% blow my mind where I'm like best MCU movie or best origin ever but it gave me just enough where I want more and I will go see this again. This time in Imax 3D.
The visuals were insane, I loved it. I know when I watch this high it'll feel like my heart is in my skull and my brain gonna be in my left foot. They could've really went in if they wanted and made the whole audience just melt in their seats. The action was so on point that I was not totally expecting that so it gave the Dr. Strange world a different feel.
I liked the message of the movie. They ain't just skip over Stephen's arrogance and ego once he got nice with magic. I also like how he ain't dismiss that he just killed a guy for the first time given he's a doctor but like the AO said he's flexible.
Speaking of her she put in work with the fights. Wanted more of that. Tilda was great.
I can see how some say it was quick pacing. After the crash they got through acts 1-3 at a brisk pace. Could they have stayed with Stephen being a douche more? Sure but I don't mind. I would've liked more focus on his desperateness though and only thing I wanted to see more of is magic training but that's just out of my own entertainment. Like a good extra 10 minutes of him summoning 3 eyed ravens and Griffiths and just learning but I get he's a genius so he picked up things fast and was able to call his own masters out on **** which I liked. Its also not clear how much time passed during this part was well. With that said, Ancient One just offering him up the master position in NYC was mad quick, especially with Mordo right there and many other masters still alive
Mordo's little mini character arc and motivation were well placed and I like how it's driving him. Maybe instead of Dormmamu he teams up with Nightmare or tries to serve Master Order to get these other sorcerers killed or in line for the sequel.
Anyway, can't wait to watch this again
