Dirty J. Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Saw it last night and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't care much for Cumberbatch, but he was pretty good. Build up and pacing was nice as well. This was also the last time I was definitely blown away by the set pieces. Especially since the last 20 years I have been conditioned that every major action movie needs to have big budget special effects that I have become desensitized to them. Definitely top 5 Marvel movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had positive vibes for Doctor Strange based mainly on the trailers, casting, posters, costumes and quotes from those involved. Really enjoyed Doctor Strange. Origin comic book stories and films are a favourite of mine seeing the start of the hero/heroes. Magic and illusions since a boy. Amazing visuals, worth watching in 3D. The only other 3D films I say that about: Dredd, Gravity and Mad Max: Fury Road. Benedict Cumberbatch was a great Doctor Strange and same goes for Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One. Good score, can't say that about most MCU movies. Out of the MCU's 14 films, I'd rank Doctor Strange either as high as 5th at the expense of Captain America: The First Avenger or 6th behind that film. Thinking the latter. SPOILERS The task of the sorcerers to guard/protect against threats from magic/mystic/interdimensional threats. Memorable sequences include: Doctor Strange sees the astral plane and the multiverse by the Ancient One, and us with him. Strange's first use of the Eye of Agamotto, that Cloak of Levitation. Thor and Vision will have cape envy. Doctor Strange defending a Sanctum from attack by Kaecilius/his zealots and the method by Strange to beat Dormammu. The theme of time in the movie like the watch, the Ancient One with the revelation about her and the way Strange utilizes the Eye of Agamotto to stop Dormammu/Kaecillus and his clan. The Cloak of Levitation, the character it's given! I didn't expect the Ancient One to die. One of my favourite MCU moments as Doctor Stephen Strange puts away the Eye of Agamotto, his back turned to us walking the steps in his Sanctum Sanctorum now. Strange puts on the broken watch from Christine Palmer and looks at the outside. The mid-credits scene is the better of the two as Thor meets Doctor Strange to ask for help to find Odin as Strange refills Thor's mead. The other scene is Mordo reclaiming energy from the man who was once a paraplegic and is again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Some Spider-Man: Homecoming photos I've not seen: I really, really like the MCU Spider-Man costume/suit. Marvel Studios rarely put a foot wrong with the hero costumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Saw Dr Strange this afternoon. It's really good. Did anyone spot the Civil War Easter egg? Spoiler When Strange is in the car and getting the phone call about potential patients, the first one he's offered is Rhodey. Nice to see that, even though there were shitloads of trailers ahead of time, most of the movie wasn't given away by them. I was worried that the Inception-style city bending was the only visual for magic they'd be using, but it wasn't. Some of it looked like the actual classic comics looked. Stayed for both end credits scenes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheadle is 51 and definitely doesn't look mid-30s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the IMDB release dates for the UK and USA, nine came out here before the USA (Iron Man 2, Thor, Avengers Assemble, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange). Three on the same date (Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk and Ant-Man) and one film arrived in the USA first (Captain America: The First Avenger).

TheVileOne Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 The dialogue was definitely different in the 15-minute preview. It was clearly changed in the final cut. It did say Air Force colonel, so it was more than likely meant to be Rhodey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I heard that in Doctor Strange, I thought the same as @AxB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 It's not much of a spoiler. I talked to other people at the Doctor Strange preview who thought the same thing. Plus, we already know about what happens to that character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 The problem with saying "By the hoary hosts of Hoggoth" out loud is, some people will hear it as "Buy the Whore-y Hos of Hoggoth" and think it's a leisure activity recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
