I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. As far as origin stories go, it's definitely one of the better ones.

Doctor Strange - the visuals are like "Inception" on steroids. The plot is kind of the same as the first Iron Man film, but replace foreign terrorism with interdimensional terrorism. But - I liked the first Iron Man film - and I liked Doctor Strange! Good acting by Cumberbatch and McAdams too. Neat way to introduce magic (and explain where it comes from) into the MCU.
Would recommend seeing in IMAX 3D. |

3nd highest grossing MCU origin film (and the fact that as of now its made 325mil global) pretty much garuntees a sequel.
Oh amd Guardians beat it by 10mil opening weekend. For new IP it didnt shocking well. |

Well if you're gonna make distinctions between origin films and sequels sure.

I think Dormammu could be the next big threat after Thanos in the MCU. I think we only got a hint of him here. He has no reason to take a physical form entirely in his own dimension. If he invades Earth all the Avengers are going to be needed.

I dunno. Dormammu, despite how powerful he is, has always been c-list in terms of relevance.
Big problem with post Thanos Avengers is that a lot of their more iconic adversaries (Dr. Doom, Kang, Galactus) are a part of the Fantastic Four license. Hopefully they can pull the license or at least some of those characters away from Fox by the time Infinity War is over. |

If they can get him, Galactus would be awesome for the next phase. Although, in terms of giant clouds/big men with pointy helmets, it'd be cool to see what the MCU does with him.
Failing that, Dormammu could still work. Iron Man was a B-list character until his movie came out, now he's one of the most recognizable comic characters in the world. |

Saw this movie, was alright..... wish it took "more chances" and was less "Marvel movie formulaic"........ Still enjoyable.....
Thought the girl nurse/love interest was very underdeveloped/pointless/shoehorned in |

Thought it was one of the weaker MCU films, personally. I've never read too much on Dr Strange as he's never really appealed to me, so not having that connection to his lore might well play a part in not enjoying it as much as others. I think I often struggle to connect with characters whose power is pretty much "wave hand and do anything you like"
Also, not quite sure an origin of his goatee was necessary. |

Having said that, I think Strange will work pretty well as a side character/cameo alongside the other major characters like what looks to be his role in Thor.

Having Dorm beat by what's essentially a gag/prank (albeit a clever one) kinda burries him from being a big bad for the next three phases.
Dr Doom really needs to get back to Marvel because he's the only big bad who would justify a macro arc like Thanos got. Way more than Galactus, imo. |

Honestly, the only way I see the MCU continueing without a hard reboot, would be if they got the x-men, tje fantastic four, or both.
Avengers don't have a deep enough rogues gallery to top what Infinity War is shaping up to be. And elevating someone like Dormammu just to give them someone to fight would feel...cheap. And lazy. |

OR as I discussed with a bud a few nights ago they drop the macro serial nature of the phases and do one shot movies without trying to create sub-franchises. Along with doing more cross over/assemble movies. This way we'll get a Black Widow movie, Warriors Three netflix special, etc. Spread out. Use the characters. They won't be able to count on converging events for long. It simply can't get bigger than Infinity War.
Unless they complete MCU's pseudo 'War' trilogy with... Secret Wars. ...Nah. |

Had they simply had Strange do a straight bargain of some sort where he leaves and takes his cult, we could save and tease him for after Thanos. But character story telling has a lot in common with pro wrasslin credibility; you have to sell characters. And they can be burried.
The way Dorm was defeated was unique, but he will not headline an Avengers movie. Whedon had to have a pow wow with executives to have Loki lose to a punchline! Dr Doom or Masters of Evil for the second macro arc. |

Either way it seems like Fox is who needs to break bread. They can start with letting Jackman play an MCU version of Logan.

Doctor Strange tops Suicide Squads 2 week world wide despite having a slower week 1.

Finally got to see this. It was pretty good, even if it follows the standard Marvel Origin Movie. Looking forward to Strange and Thor comparing capes.
