I thought the War Machine reference was a nice touch too. It made sense.
It wasn't War Machine

Just came back from seeing this movie. Yes it's formulaic, yes the humor was a bit much at times, but I still enjoyed it a lot. The story was good, cumberbatch was great, and it didn't end as bombastically as other marvel films. loved the MCU references. Bring on the sequel!
Which makes the movie's timeline strange to me (pun unintended). How long exactly was that training period supposed to be? Because they show the Avengers tower in the New York backdrop, and that tower only shows up after Avengers 1 (in CA:WS). And that's what, 2 or 3 years after IM2?

When you consider he went all "Oliver Queen on the island" growing his hair, not to mention the time in rehab (which would be considerable), plus his training.. There has to be some decent time pass from his accident through to the end credits.

Just returned from Imax 3D showing.
Marvel has done it again, another solid entry into the MCU.
Cucumber patch and Tilda were great as were the other main actors.
Dr. Strange's arc was a good one, you could feel his behavior changes.
Loved the end battle it was handled in a very smart manner, well played.
Humor was nowhere over used and it was actually very well handled.
Not perfect though, here are my complaints:
I walked in expecting the BEST 3D MCU movie and it is far from it, go ahead and watch the 3D but it's really not a critical component of the movie as I was anticipating it to be.
If anything I will now not even take my son to the 3D showing tomorrow.
I am all about 3D immersion and this was the FIRST 3D movie ever for me to have actually bothered me in vertigo type of way and I have seen a ton of 3D movies repeated over and over and over.
Reason why that happened leads me to my next complaint.
The hand to hand fights were horribly filmed, if TWS/CW were shaky cam at its best this was shaky cam at its near Blairwitch worst, ok maybe not that bad but still too jerky.
Magic battles were good but all hand to hand stuff were absolutely not up to TWS/CW standards, not even close.
My prediction that IW tragedies
The twisting of the environments got too confusing to see what was happening in the scene plus that also made the 3D too unstable because it was happening so fast that it began to diminish the 3D effect while also giving me eye strain, again a first for me in a 3D movie.
Music was just ok. Not horrible but could've been better.
Villain just another disgruntled tool lol but he was there just to set up Dr. Strange anyways.
Dr. Strange will be a great addition to the Avengers and I can't wait to see how they react to him and also what Thanos will say about that punk
.
Expected it to be even more psychadelic.
Great mid credits scene, loved it!
Stan Lee cameo...meh.
Go see it........
in 2D.
BTW, new Marvel title card is mind blowing spectacular now, their best version yet!

Dormammu is no punk. He easily killed Strange like a hundred times. It was nice to see Strange win by using his brain, and not just his powers.
Did you see the yellow gloves in the after credit scene? I'm so glad they gave Strange his gloves. If it was FOX they'd be black leather probably.

Yeah I was just kidding around about
Dormammu, I loved how he was getting frustrated lol
Yup, loved the gloves, he just needs his yellow belt now.

I lol seeing the magic powers looking and being used like WW whip.
Now i'm curious how Iron Fist will be presenting their eastern asian mystical world.

Was he the Sorcerer Supreme by the end of the film? I remember Wong telling Strange that he still had much to learn, but with the ancient one gone, I'm guessing Strange is the leader of the mystic warriors now?
I have to say regarding the villain
When Strange was fighting Kaecilius he did the time reversal technique but Kaecilius was able to get out of it, so how come Darmommu wasn't able to do the same?

3D made it looks better but still optional.

naw I don't think he was. Strange was like naw I don't want to be Sorcerer supreme. But the other sorcerers do note he has the potential because he learned how to use the Eye and it's time warping

I think they left it open ended especially since
he returned the eye....just so Thanos can steal it
Logan trailer played, dead silence in the sold out huge theater I was in.
I'll probaby give 3D another try lol

Pretty good movie. I actually saw it in IMAX 3D and the visuals were fantastic. I loved the mirror effect and when he first has his out of body experience when he visits the temple. The 3D was really well done. I thought the beginning was a little rushed and Rachel McAdams was a little pointless for the love interest with what little they gave her, but it was pretty good. A lot of the rules about the dimensions and worlds didn't make a whole lot of sense, but hey, it's magic. I thought Benedict Cumberbatch was great as Strange and I've never really been a fan of him as an actor or a fan of his movies. Also loved the green time stopping and reversing scenes where they played with the people and the environment. I was surprised they showed that one Hong Kong civilian with their head and face smashed into the pavement before reversing them back through the windshield and into the car.
Good movie, 4/10
