So it was a fun movie. Visually awesome. But the plot and writing fell a little flat. Their approach to magic and mysticism definitely left a lot to be desired too. They didn't really even try to explain how magic blended in with the rest of the MCU. It came off as a lazy deus ex machina solution. But it was fun.

In the comix it's gifted by superior beings (gods, devils, etc.) or totems from those beings as they very briefly touched on in the film. Disney/Marvel are trying to dip their toe into magic in a way that won't make parents and the religious finger pointers go nuts. Also there is a lot to explain about Dr. Strange. It's not a comic you can just pick up and really feel like you get right away. I knew going in this film would lack in one area or another because you just can't touch on everything in a 2 hour film. I would expect a jump in writing/quality of storytelling much like you saw with Cap from the first to second film...

Despite my homer nature there isn't a film in the last 10 years that's done this much with CGI in a good way. I would say Dr. Strange is a movie that depends more on what Marvel is doing than any film before it. It's setting it up.

Solid Movie. Hated the adaption of Dormammu's physical form as a reflection of Dr. Strange. I wanted to see the flaming ****ing skull. Lots of Setup: Showing the Staff of One (The Runaways), The Wand of Watoom (How he links up w Spiderman), The Mindless Ones. Nice references to IM2 and Captain Marvel on the phone call while he is driving at the beginning. Extra points for Interstellar Overdrive on the radio.

I liked "Gravity" better but the quality in "Strange" is higher. "Gravity" seemed more of a conversion (either that or the quality of the source camera was better) and didn't look filmed in IMAX; it was sorta blurry. "Strange" is one of those IMAX conversions that you can't tell wasn't filmed in it (aside from the obvious letterboxing). It's definitely worth seeing in IMAX if you can (real IMAX, not the tiny shit).
