Just watched.
Not much to say

Its good
Funny
Benedict is excellent. As always
The special effects is amazing

But

-too much plot hole

Example :

-the cloak defend strange. But didn't when he Kena shot

-the ancient said strange need Mordo strength. But there's no evidence of that

Didnt see any speck of so called Mordo strength

-strange barely master the magic. The reason why he is the hero cuz he use the forbidden agamoto eye. To manipulate time

Thats kinda like cheating

I know it's supposed to show strange is clever and creative. But..

Its like watching Ironman movie. But Tony haven't build a suit cuz he's not good enough, haven't master the skill of building an Ironman suit

And just nuke the villain.

-the villain is forgettable. No impact whatsoever. Boring

Its an ok movie. But the story is too loose. Too many things happen for the sake of moving the plot

-the building flipping and all is cool. But kinda overuse. Sekali dua cukup la

I mean. Where's the actual fighting?
Stop flipping building and running. And start fighting

And everyone running
Its like watching a marathon movie
Running all the time


Im not disappointed. But not very happy either
My wife fall asleep lol

Civil War is better.
The lighter funnier ant man is sort of more enjoyable
This movie is just not there yet

Thanks bro

I like the arrogant personality of strange
Remind me of Benedict role in Sherlock

He learning well. Advancing and all

Annndd things went to shit
Lost potential
And the way ancient one die
Is just too easy
It does not befit her title as the ancient one

I planned for i max

I watched it. It was a good movie but not the best. just good. my rate should 6.8/10.
Starting was good, but i found out bit slow. He is the most cocky doctor who knows everything end up wasting his own money by fixing his hand back. I dont know what is the strenght of Mordo. what he do to make him look stronger? I see dr.stranger himself did alone mostly with the help of Cloak of Levitation. it helps him a lot. other than that rachel mcadams hot as always.
Lucky my boss belanja for the movie.

P/s : Who ever planning to watch in 3d think about it again..

Ok.
Edited

I give the movie 4/10.

Typical special effects filled movie...but the dialogue and screen writing and characters are downright lame as fuck.

So strange as the all positive guy who went to nepal on a whim to get the miracle cure, upon reaching there suddenly act all ahhh i dont believe in this hocus pocus crap and even after seeing miracles infront of him he still acted all ahhh doesnt this dont make sense bla bla bla.

I find that hugely unrealistic.

I also dislike scenes where the unaccustomed hero played dumb and bungling all over a different culture. Its not funny, jackie chan is famous for repeating this sort of nonsense in his film, they r not funny and quite simply ridiculous except for the very first bungling character scenes in the Drunken Master.

I think when the hero and villain are all powerful like they can do anything they want kinda powerful, the excitement diminishes because of too many "if he so great why didnt he just do this" thoughts floating in your head.

- Yeah, the cloak bit was annoying. Than again, it was a surprise attack so maybe even it was caught unawares. Who's to say that it doesn't have a LOS and reaction time?

- Mordo was the ancient one's oldest pupil at that point, so of course she's going to say he'll be needed by Strange. Whether or not that is true is another matter.

- Strange wasn't 'barely a master' at that point. Both and Ancient One and Mordo have already commented that he was the most gifted they have seen and has been learning faster than everyone else. He just seems to lack confidence and seems to still think his broken hands are holding him back.

- He didn't nuke the villain. He bored the main bad guy with time loops to the point where he just gave up and called it quits. That's called thinking outside the box. Quite a creative way of winning.

- This isn't a martial arts action movie. Dr Strange has never punched anyone in the comics nor resorted to the same fighting style that Kaecilious was using in the movie. If there was too much fight scenes, comic fans would have cried foul. That's not how he resolved problems.

I think this was better than Civil War, which to be frank...was quite a dumb movie with great action scenes. Civil War was fun to watch, but very very stupid with even more plot holes than Dr Strange.

Edit: Err, hang on. He does fight in the comics. But only when he can't use his powers.

Except tony starks arrogance was spot on befitting his status as the cocky and ultra rich persona. This doctor strange guy however lacks major common sense and respect, as should be reflected in his intelligence and desire to help ppl. Im sorry but strange's lack of wisdom (seriously an intelligent guy will never look at their phone while driving at high speed on a winding road) clashes with what he is supposed to be.

Doesnt gel for me. Try too hard. Poor writing.

-the cloak stop a surprised attack before

-I'm not disputing his strength. But so much Tak about mordo strength. But no prove. None

They lack the scene needed to make that statement valid
Its like a movie called Ironman but no ironman

-his gift was his potential. Quick learning. Manage to use the eye

But he suck at fighting. He suck at conjuring weapon. He has no relic.

He barely able to fight the villain hoodlums. What save him was a difribilator

Again. A statement that has no proof. Throw around as if just by saying makes it happen

-my point was. He use an overpower weapon to push his way thru victory

Not by mastering the skill
Not by being a competent sorcerer

He use a cheat code. Of course it's creative. Nobody thought of cheating

-I'm not asking him to be ipman
But both he and kaesillic need to stop flipping building cuz that ain't do shit
And start fighting cuz that's why they are there
Flipping buildings isn't doing anything
Doest kill anyone
Doesn't resolve anything
Its a parlor trick to wow the audience

-nope. Civil War don't have "he powerful yo" but no scene to back that up

Civil War dont have "he ancient one yo" but die over one simple trick

Civil War don't have such a boring villain.

Id say casting Cumbercatch as Dr Strange was perfect I'm never a fan of the fighting game. Fighting the bos at the end, that was a good solution, since he know he could never never win head on. Mordo's is so weak, haha!

I agree on Civil War being dumb....what a total waste of time, eeeeeeeeeee.....

effect 10/10, story kinda meh, most can give 7ish/10 only and benedict delivering as usual

your wife fall asleep means shitty movie.

Drillz of sleeping waifu

Astaghfirullahalazim

I too prefer Dr Strange movie over Civil War. CW too boring for me.

To be fair,
Strange still in learning stage when attck on london sanctum begins..
He is still learning how to use an enchated weapon with mordo. (easter egg: staff of living tribunal - one of the powerful being in mcu)
Strange become powerful because he learned the time altering spell thats it..
He still dont learn anything else much making him still a half baked sorcerer.. Kira this movie just intro him only.. Maybe in avenger infinity war he become powerful as sorcerer supreme..
But kinda bummed when the eye of agamotto is an infinity stone.. That thing should be strange source of power.. Not just to access the time manipulating spell. And kantoi its a time stone because that time altering thing stuff..

Marvel = Disney

Marvel basically trying to put infinity stone in every superhero movie

So that they can drag all of the superhero when fight with Thanos

I just abit disappointed
The movie should be about introducing him
Becoming a magician

And it's going well. About half the movie

Then ridiculous Astral body fight
Unneeded hating on the ancient one
And strange become imba just cuz can use the eye

Its a missed opportunity
