Doctor Strange

Started by playa125830 pages

There is five nominations at the oscars for effects.

I would go with: Arrival, Doctor Strange, Jungle Book, Rogue One.

Passengers, Deep Water Horizon and Star Trek Beyond battle for the last spot.

It will be between Strange and Jungle Book for the Winner. I'm picking Strange personally.

b!tch, you haven't even seen Rouge One.

ctfu.

So I just saw this film and I think it was a pretty good experience overall with the visuals being the stand-out mark of the film. However I felt that the humor was a bit forced at times and while it works as a great origin story, I feel at this point in Phase 3 of the MCU the placing of this movie seems to come off as padding until Infinity War comes along.

I do like how the movie allows the sorcery to exist unhinged or w/o a half-baked scientific explanation as to why it's happening. Do feel that Dr.Strange himself was a bit underwhelming from strictly a hero's perspective

Spoiler:
Even torward's the end of the movie he's still kind of a scrub without the Eye of Agamotto. With that said he did have some impressive shields and astral projection powers

Saw it tonight. Excellent. Exceeded my expectations. Visual masterpiece and great story plus top notch acting. A+

Proving to have great box office legs:

I finally got around to seeing this the other night, and enjoyed it so much that I went again the next night. I really liked the film as an introduction to the character of Strange, and magic in the MCU overall, and am really looking forward to what else will be heading our way. I also thought that the time manipulation, as well as use of the mirror dimension, was a fairly clever way of having the large scale destruction/action we've come to expect from these films, without ending up with an enormous body count by the end of it.

Also, as to Mordo,

Spoiler:
we already get to see him slowly start to twist during the post-credits scene, when he goes after the guy who directed Strange to the Ancient One, after claiming that he had some kind of epiphany about sorcerers, and there being too many of them.

Ugh....didn't see that post credits scene. Only watched the Strange & Thor one and thought that was it.

Yeah, I only stayed because I got warned by a friend that there was more than one. Most of the other people left the cinema after the Strange/Thor conversation.

It is a bit irritating having to wait around for a possible 2nd scene right at the end, and hoping it's not some Howard the Duck type clip, but with Marvel movies you have to. And the Dr. Strange one was actually pretty important to the story.

Eh....just wait until the Blu-ray.

Or that

Finally saw it this weekend. I'd give it an 8/10. For me it's my favorite MCU movie that doesn't have Captain America or Bucky in it thus far (I have it in 4th place).

Finally saw this Wednesday. It joins Winter Soldier, Guardians, and Civil War as my favorite MCU films to date. And they should give it the Oscar for Best Visual Effects now. 9-9.5/10

It should win for effects no question.

A Marvel veteran like yourself failed so hard?

Mid-credits AND post-credits, man. I don't even want to think how many other MCU scenes you have missed...

How could that idiot walk out of a marvel film without catching the post credits scenes. What a massive idiot. Kaz you're a dumb ass.

You seem upset.

Well, why wouldn't he be?

MCU has been going for years and those "hidden" scenes keep being included in every movie.

For quite a while now, there have been two of them... mid- an post-credits. Kaz visits KMC very often, so there is no excuse for missing it.

You are asking me why wouldn't he be upset that a person on the internet didn't stay behind to see a post credits scene in a movie? As if that is a perfectly normal thing to be upset over.
