Just came back from seeing this and it was pretty good. Better than Civil War in my opinion. Did you guys like it?
And don't come with your usual bullshit like "it was predictable". It's a superhero origin story. What the fuck were you expecting? Stanley Kubrick? Fuck off.

nah is shit, they changed the shaolin temple to a howargs "multicultural" without asians and with a lot of niggers
a trully deception.
How much does DC pay btw? Just joking, they do it for free
It was pretty shit. Iron Man with magic instead of robots.
I really didn't wanted to see it, but it was enjoyable.
This is one of the few occasions in which a movie is saved by special effects. The locations and spells kept me interested.
Outside of that it's the same marvel stuff. It's really weird how their movies can be the same shit and fun at the same time. Just a matter of time until they fuck up.
>It was pretty shit. Iron Man with magic instead of robots.
but iron man was the best marvel movie, sounds good to me.
>This is one of the few occasions in which a movie is saved by special effects. The locations and spells kept me interested.
This. It's the best use of SFX in any Marvel movie to date. The cool thing about the movie is that it always keeps you invested, interested. I captures the imagination.
Of course not. It's a poor imitation. Just because The Force Awakens is a ANH copy doesn't make it per default good.
it wasnt gotg
This movie could not have been more dumbed-down.

That perfectly fine. The cloak is intelligent and it was leading him to safety. He wanted an axe he couldn't use whilst the cloak was leading him to a trap for Kaecilius.
fine???? one or two pulls from the cape in the direction of the trap would have been fine
what they did was butcher the entire fight sequence with le funny childrens program humor
i will literally only watch dc capeshit from now on, their quips are much more maintained
>break the bad news
>id rather do the breaking in person
I liked the first half of the movie including Strange's training montage. After that everything feels rushed. Yet another boring villain from marvel. Kaecilius is as wooden as Malekith. Utter waste of Mikkelsen. Mordo is fucking retarded.
He was going to die if he grabbed that axe. He wouldn't have been able to use it and the other guy who worked for Kaecilius would arrive and it would be 2x1. Of course the cloak was desperate not letting him move. It was basically screaming for him to go the other way or else he'd would have died.
I don't like the other scenes that you mentioned but this one is the one case in the movie in which the comedy was in tone with everything else because it made sense. The cloak was saving his life.
I liked it. I liked the cloak particularly.
It was like a videogame plot.
Have you seen the movie? There were at least 2 named asians at the monastery among the cast.
I agree that eh visual affects are top notch, though I'm curious to know whether those who reduce the movie to just that are simply blind to the classy actor performances or are willfully ignoring them? Cucumber and Swinton did a fucking great job and were a joy to watch throughout the movie.
It's a formula
The combined efforts of the cast with the interesting use of SFX is what keeps the movie from falling apart. This movie without those great visuals and special effects and without a competent leading actor and supporting cast would have been generic and even bad.They made the right decisions.
You're right. There were even power ups, like the cloak and the eye and the weapons they use. Now I wish they'd make a good game out of this universe.
FUCK NIGGERS
i know its tough to understand these things when you suffer from autism, but different people have different kinds of humour. this is not an objective factor to argue about.
It's not about the humor. It's about the relevancy. The scene has a purpose. It wasn't "lol that's funny". The cloak was doing something to save Strange's life.
Some of the best digital effects I've ever seen in a movie.
Everything else is really bland.
You might as well watch a 20 minute reel of all the CGI magic shit without the lame movie.
Its like enter the void on lsd, I was actually blown away by those CGI magic-trip sequences.
Was Cumberbatch actually good in this movie? I know he's capable of a good performance but I just wasn't sure about his American accent and I feel like everyone always phones it in a little for capeshit.
I sure loved watching Iron Man 4.
It was good, not great, but good. Visuals for reality bending were amazing and it was a fresh take on magic. My main complain is that the mages didn't use this magic offensively, they were always using magc cqc to kill each other. Would've been great if we could see two mages bending reality around themselves to kill each other and using conventional long-range magic along with it, tering reality and throwing fireballs from unexpected angles.
He wasn't good in the sense that he had a wide range of emotions or anything like that, but rather in the sense that he had presence. He can carry his own movie. He was a good main character.
I enjoyed him a lot in this. I thought his portrayal of jovial arrogance, his despair and anger at his situation after the crash and later on the sense of wonder as he discovered the mystic world was pretty captivating and really sold the character. Same for Swinton, as she managed to deliver those cheesy exposition lines with a sense of gravitas that made the movie that much more enjoyable.
I wish they got rid of the obligatory black sidekick and gave Kaecilius a flashback or any scene that explored his character a bit, even Mads can't make a great villain out of literally nothing
They simply don't want to have great villains.
>strange beats a god by literally save scumming
Quips kinda ruined it for me, visually it's great but as always they have to follow that fucking formula.
Also, anyone from /x/ here? What were the other books besides Key of Solomon that they mentioned?
they are planning a video game universe with the new spiderman game, who knows
I really enjoyed it. I had a lovely evening.
I can't wait to see the flood of people who watch shitty streams and decide it's trash. His introduction to magic or whatever when he's blasted through the xbox 360 music screensaver was especially beautiful.
I thought it was great but I won't watch it again any time soon. There was something missing that cheated it off being truly brilliant but it was enough for me to pretend for a little while that I was watching something special.
Made me realise what a missed opportunity the Matrix sequels were and kind of made me actually want to see a Matrix remake. One with a more mystical martial arts flavour.
Chiwotel Ejiofer was really good but played exactly the same character as in Serenity right down to the twist post post credits twist. Also would have liked to have found out more about that crippled character.
Looking forward to the sequels and to a lesser extent the next Avengers to see just how much they nerf the shit out of the character.
I also liked his hands never healed. Ripe for a 'Describe a movie really shittily' thread. Desperate man seeks Chinese medicine as last hope. It doesn't work.
Makes me want to do psychedelics too.
The good:
>strange hates killing because he was a doctor, vows to always find "another way". Better than captain America or iron man in that sense who will most of the time just overpower their foes
>an infinity stone is introduced without it being a macguffin that everyone is after
>effects
Bad
>predictable plot and everything else
Makes sense. I'm Asian and why would i need enlightenment? That shits for gullible tourists.
How is marvel able to make these super successful movies off characters barely anyone knows?
I never heard of dr strange, ant man, or guardians of the galaxy before the movies came out
Kevin Feige has a lot of experience in adapting Marvel heroes to film. I won't deny the universe has flaws but I do appreciate the genuine attempt to introduce the public to lesser known Marvel properties.
Because they know how to write entertaining, compelling leads that audiences are charmed by, even if they often do it at the expense of their antagonists. The success of a superhero movie is dependent on a hero people get on board with.
the Marvel name is more than enough now.
Anyway They've fostered Geek culture enough that all they need to do is announce the film a few years in advance and all the airheaded manchildren will research it to feel cultured in the lowest possible way.
They've also made it clear that if it's an unknown or lame character the movie WILL be good.
oh yeah, made me want to try DMT and speak with the machine elves and all that shit. What I felt that it was missing was more of him training, after he started reading the books the movie jumped from lvl1 mage to lvl90 in 5 minutes
The visuals were pretty impressive, but come on man, the story really WAS predictable and formulaic. I think it might be my favorite Marvel movie since Phase 1, but I still got bored about halfway through. No, I'm not expecting a masterpiece, but they really can't just keep making the same movie over and over again
But still, cool character, very cool visuals. Now that they've gotten the origin story out of the way, I'd be more interested in a Doctor Strange sequel than pretty much any other Marvel hero
The Doors Of Perception by Aldous Huxley. It was actually even in the credits.
No. The new SM game is Sony's. It has nothing to do with Marvel Studios.
>Makes me want to do psychedelics too
It would be amazing if after watching the movie teenagers decide to do drugs and that causes a shitstorm for Marvel.
Wouldn't surprise me. I'm surprised there wasn't a disclaimer.
I was amused by the Keep your eyes on the road one at the very end as if the movie hadn't already discouraged checking your phone while driving enough.
>How is marvel able to make these super successful movies off characters barely anyone knows
Because they are making good movies out of characters nobody knows. Other studios either make a movie about a well known characters or they simply don't. Marvel is trying while nobody else is.
>what do we have
>we have character X
>but do we have like...batman or something?
>no
>can we make the character x movie?
>nah let's do something else
Then when they do make a movie based on a lesser known character, it's a side project they don't give a single fuck about like Jonah Hex. A movie made to be bad, pretty much. The studio doesn't care, there is zero quality control, they hire the worst writers and directors and don't spend much money on that movie.
It's not mind-blowing that Iron Man was successful even though movie critics seem to think it is. It's just that this studio actually cared to make a good movie based on a character they had, while others either do a movie based on a big character or do shit like the movie I mentioned or Shaq's Steel.
>I was amused by the Keep your eyes on the road one at the very end as if the movie hadn't already discouraged checking your phone while driving enough
Were they forced to do that? It felt so weird. As you said, the movie was pretty clear about the tragedy there so that warning felt out of place.
I assume so.
As to the first post credits bit Anyone else a little disappointed that Thor didn't know all about the Sorcerers etc and was the not fish out of water character for once. I guess it makes sense given Thor was a thick jock in Asgard and didn't give a fuck about Earth and assumably Odin knows all about it but still other than setting up the sequel I thought that scene was shit. Especially since Doctor Strange essentially threatened Odin and Thor. Ballsy surely.
>tfw you visit your nephews and they argue over who's cooler between Ant-man and Captain America
Asa a comicfag it's a comfy feel, shame the comics are completely awful now
Can we just have one day where nobody posts about politics, tabloid celebrity shit, or manchild superhero movies?
In his first movie he said that to him it's all science, while we see it as magic. There might he sorcerers in his land but he didn't know we also had them. I think he is surprised real magic exists.
Was the Thor scene bad? I've heard some reviewers say that and I know that scene was directed by Taika from Thor 3 so I wonder if it's a warning sign of things to come.
>trying to sell the movie
kys
It just really fell flat. It wasn't straight up bad just a sequel set up and no more.
The plot is so bad, but everything else are great
>It just really fell flat
The same could be said by many scenes in this movie.
I don't know why critics are giving this such great reviews, the flaws are more evident than ever.
I'd actually agree with you but I loved it. As i say it gave me enough that I could pretend I was watching the Matrix for the first time again. That was enough for me.
6.823/10
I think this is a little bit of a gray area. I agree with you that this follows the Marvel formula to a fault but that doesn't mean it's completely awful. On its own outside the MCU, the movie holds up and we only call it formulaic because we know the company's history. This movie will be easy to criticize and rightfully so but I don't think most casual consumers will mind.
Ancient one 1v10 in the mirror dimension was actually one of the coolest fight scenes ive ever seen
no no, not that one. When he delivers all those books to Wong, he list 3-4 I think and the Key of Solomon, so I wanted to know if those other books actually exist or they just added the Solomon one for anyone that likes reading about the occult and stuff
>Better than Civil War
Wolverine Origin was better than Civil War, friend.
I read somewhere that this was Marvel's attempt at creating something similar to the MCU but for videogames
Not bad just out of place. It was like the post-credtis scene from Ant-Man which was a scene from Civil War. I think this scene will be a scene in the next Thor movie. It felt like it.
>What the fuck were you expecting? Stanley Kubrick? Fuck off.
No, i'm expecting a subversion of the usual shit.
There were some parts where the director tried to do this, but again, Feige's goons prevented him from "ruining" their perfectly safe, digestible, capeshit movie with cool visuals. I swear, this is the last capeshit that i see, i hope it crash and burns next year.
The Book Of Cagliostro was written by a real occultist, Cagliostro.
Are the visuals worth the price of the ticket (and the shame of going alone to the cinema) or can I get for the 1080p rip?
Okay then explain why the cloak didn't move him out of the way when Kaecilious stabbed him in the chest. It wasn't like he was lying down on the ground - he was standing up! The coat managed to attack unnamed henchman by itself from behind but not Kaecilius?
Power of the Invisible Sun
Astronomia Nova
Codex Imperium
Key of Solomon
Only the second and the last are real.
They are worth it. I didn't get to see it in IMAX but I saw it in a special screening with a wider screen and better sound. It was well worth the ticket. There isn't as many visual trips in the movie as you might think though. Just enjoy the movie.
Because the plot demanded.
didn't know about him, thanks
>book, published in 1609, that contains the results of the astronomer Johannes Kepler's ten-year-long investigation of the motion of Mars.
Not what I expected
How can you enjoy the movie when the visuals (especially the dark dimension) are just copy-pasted from Ant-Man?
3D fractals are fucking cool
Are you a film reviewer? You sound like one.
As someone who usually hates capeshit Dr. Strange was genuinely good. I dont get why there is a lor of comparison with Ant-man which was the most unoriginal, boring, cookie cutter, forgettable movie i have ever seen
it's capeshit, I went there to see world bending magic, I saw that and liked what I saw. It's the same formula but I only went for the visuals
If this makes less money than Suicide Squad (I predict it'll go over $800mil) I'll willingly cosplay as Strange and suck a SS Joker's dick.
Screencap this.
I agree. Ant-Man was a movie that even if you knew nothing about its production you'd still be able to tell the production was plagued with problems and director vs studio drama.
It was the most mediocre movie ever made by Marvel. Even more so than Thor 2 or the Iron Man sequels. It baffles me to this day how that movie got good reviews.
>Better than Civil War
Getting scalped is better than watching Civil War
>Better than Civil War
Civil War at least had a plot and the ending subversion was better.
Kaecilius has an interesting back story, but it's brushed aside like nothing. A few more minutes on the running time could have been spent on Kaecilius's motivations.
I like that the only Infinity War things were the time stone and Ancient One having possible shades of foreshadowing Wanda.
The book of Cagliostro was based off of the DarkHold (like all magic books, really).
It appears there will be no visible Vishanti in the MCU.
Definitely. It felt like the middle of a scene rather than a scene.
Well, Thor is Gaea's son in the comics, and Strange basically works for Gaea's sister.
Strange also is not SS yet.
I din't find it interesting. It was the basic "I've lost everything" backstory.
I actually really liked this scene. They actually made a movie where Dr. STRANGE traps Dormamu in an infinite time loop and basically makes Dormamu his bitch. Sure, Dormamu kills him every time, but Strange knows he will outlast him.
The problem was it lacked a deeper context because it was just "he lost alot of shit", and you never really saw it in Mads character,because the script never showed any doubt on the part of Kaecilius.
The problem with the movie overall is that they none of the characters were fleshed out properly. The whole thing was rushed.
...
it was predictable :^)
I thought it was fun and the graphics in some of those scenes were amazingly creative.
You guys act too elitist toward inherently pleb things. This is only comic book shit, remember?
posting edgy daria reactions in 2016 is even more cringe m8
