strange

I liked it

irrelevant

A bit too doctor for my tastes

trash.

they still haven't removed the poster for it at my bus stop and I hate seeing his stupid face every goddamn morning.

What am I, your roommate? Fuck off tardasslardass.

Is Sherlock literally the only character BC knows how to play?

He plays him in everything he acts in.

Typical marvel movie, just a new character. Annoying British black guy and sexy bald lady man.

This. It starts off strong (made me believe it would be non formulaic) then weak middle and a predictable end (the bargaining was good though).

If you saw the animated film, this will disappoint.

It was okay. Nothing glaringly awful, nothing revolutionary. Cucumberpatch played a convincing american-narcissist-surgeon-turned-superwizard. There were cheap giggles. Pretty visuals. Meh action.
The biggest issue is the larger implication that Dr. Strange has for the rest of the MCU. It introduces an ancient secret club of arbitrarily powerful international superwizards who can teleport about at will. This means that, during all of the other MCU movies' potentially world-ending cataclysms, they just decided not to do anything because reasons. I don't demand a ton of coherence from my capeshit, but it's a pretty glaring hole in the universe. The only conclusion one can reasonable come to is that all of the superwizards are unbelievable assholes who don't give a shit about the end of the world unless a literal wizard did it.

Who am I to judge?

How would DC have handled this scene?

forgettable. I forgot I went to see this already.

literally the kiniost kino that ever kiin

Dumb, formulaic, rushed pace, too many quips and too many tropes

>DORMAMMU I'VE COME TO BARGAIN
>I KNEW IT...
>HOW DID YOU KNOW?
>THE CAPE.....

>rushed pace
Actually several years happen between the beginning and the end of the movie, it's more like they never gave us a time frame to compare.

kek

"Ancient one! Space whales are being teleported into downtown New York City, and are dangerously close to destroying our secret magic clubhouse!"

>"Did they bring wizards?" *hands swoosh in circles*

"But Ancient One! The Chitauri are slaughtering people and--"

>"Did they. Bring Wizards." *swoosh spirograph swoosh*

"No, Ancient One."

>"Then let some quippy faggots deal with it. I'm busy with magic dark energy mining shit" *swoosh swoosh swoosh*

It was good enough. Seeing it in 3-D was worth it but not sure if I want to rewatch it on my telly.

Strange would have had an existential crisis about whether or not to bargain after each attempt.

They'd have shot lasers at each other, Strange would've floated through the air in a crucifixion pose while Ave Maria plays in the background and then Mordo would snap Kaelicious' neck.

Did you guys lose the whole....
>The Avengers protect the world from physical dangers. We safeguard it against more mystical threats.

You'd have to see the movie for that, user.

It was okay. I saw it in 3D when I was stoned so I at least enjoyed the experience

oh fuck off I saw it. A giant floating eggplant made as a perfect being by the elder gods, then corrupted into a galaxy-wide leader of evil trying to reassemble a golden reality-bending superglove powered by magic fucking gems isn't "mystical" enough for you?

Or would it help to add the nasty magic trickster from the space-vikings that ride a rainbow to fight interplanetary ice giants, who gets an army of cyborg spacelizards driving chariots to fly through an interdimensional portal over NYC from said eggplant?

1. Thanos has yet to take action to obtain the Time Stone and as such is not The Ancient One's problem
2. Dormammu and Shuma-Gorath are more dangerous than regular Thanos
3. Asgard doesn't count as magic in the MCU

Really bad

It was pretty good, but I felt some of the special effects were overdone. The first mindtrip was twice as long as it should have been and That Scene From Inception, But This Time With Boats was dumb.

No, I didn't miss it. It's a bullshit handwave excuse.
Let's pretend that they somehow knew that the top secret fledgling team of avengers would pull through and succeed against impossible odds in the end when an alien invasion descended upon new york. Because magic. Let's ignore that it was led by a (totally not mystical) norse god with a (totally not mystical until they use one) rock of superduper powers. The, by necessity, willful decision not to pitch in at the very least cost the lives of an indeterminate number of people who weren't in the Avengers' immediate vicinity. You can make the same argument for the second Avengers. Or the second Thor, with its (totally not mystical) interdimensional elf invaders. Maybe the superwizards had supermagical certainty that the Avengers would keep the world from being destroyed on several occasions and believed that revealing themselves to save lives or tip the scales or whatever wouldn't be worth the headline.
It doesn't explain in the least why they didn't intervene prior to the Avengers' existence in WWII when Red Skull had the (totally not mystical) space rock of superduper powers.
It's a big plot hole, and they didn't plug it with one throwaway line. You still have to draw the conclusion that they're shitbags who could stand to be lectured by little Peter Parker about great power etc etc.

a good time if you're stoned

>Dormammu! I've come for Martha!

I literally LOLd at that line and then walked out. What a piece of shit movie.

does Mads even know he was in this movie?

incredibly mediocre

Bland. I honestly expected more

Horrible "humor" that was written in by the fuck who makes Rick and Morty. It really conflicts with the first quarter of the movie where Strange is a wonderfully arrogant asshole to everyone. The scene where he shouts at Rachel McAdams was excellent.

the "let's set up this character as an asshole so he can have a character arc" shit went on for way, way, WAY too fucking long

also
>5 minute long car crash
>fucking EXPLOSION
>m-muh hand!! ill never work again
i'm not even that guy, but i was laughing at the drama about that shit

after all that (45~ mins?) it got mediocre

CGI porn for your eyes

worst quips of any marvel movie

strange is literally tony stark

Visual Effects: The Movie

That's it

well, maybe they had better things to do
it's the same argument "Why there is no Cap in Iron Man 3?".
Then, why didn't they get involved in NY or Ultron? Well, maybe they had a rebellion in their own ranks led by Kaellicius and had to protect their sanctuaries more carefully. There is only handful of mages. Maybe there were some attacks before. Maybe they knew the moment they left the sanctuaries Kaellicius would step in and destroy the sigils. They had to cautious.

Also, from where I see it, mages are not per se fighters. Ancient One and Mordo can beat some ass, but even Kaellicius isn't some martial art warrior, but primarily a mystic. Just watch the movie - I guess Burton or Black Widow would take him down in no time if he would not use reality bending bullshit. So they would have a problem dealing with physical dangers like bullets.

Don't forget that they were trying to hide from the world - handful of wizards casting spells in NY would make people ask too many questions.
