I just watched it with the wife. We both didn't like it. It was very generic. Things happened for plot reasons. Magic this, magic that, bada bing bada boom movie is over. We both looked at each other with confused looks.
Yea I am trying to think of a scene that was creative or memorable and there isn't much. Maybe the final scene. Visual effects don't do much for me these days.
Watched again and noticed that the basketball playing detective who was dumped by Catwoman no less was the same guy who sought out the mystic art training center to recover from his crippling injury, that was caused by who and what i wonder...and uh oh, Catwoman could probably get her ass whipped by this guy now. All that said, I was wondering why the basketball crippled detective told Dr. Strange his healing would come at great cost... what cost was that? Was that explained?
Almost completely forgettable. I watched it a few weeks ago and I don't think I could tell someone what it was about.
I was able to finally watch on demand as I didn't get out to the theaters to see it. I was entertained and I like Cumberbritches as Dr. Strange. It did feel sort of generic and rushed, as it was obviously an origin story for the bigger Infinity arc. In comic cannon Dr. Strange basically becomes one of, if not THE most powerful non-Cosmos entities (such as Death) in the entire Marvel Universe.
Time, effort, pain. They didn't do a great job showing how much time had past between him traveling there, beginning training, and eventually battling Dormamu, but it was implied that months had passed if not a year or two.
