Okay so Doctor Strange! This is a fun movie based on a rather obscure Marvel character... and this is kind of why I like Disney and Marvel's current arrangement of sorts. Right now as I'm writing this Disney is looking to buy Fox and as good as I think that would be... I think that not having access to the entire Marvel Movie library has led them to be a little bit more creative. I feel like if they had all the Marvel movies- we might just have all Spider Man movies and we wouldn't have the MCU we know today...so I'm always really happy with things like this movie and the new Cloak and Dagger show- which I think is great... I'm sure if they do get Fox everything will be fine... but still! I'm glad there is a Doctor Strange movie!
With that little ramble out of the way let's get into what I like about this movie! As far as "Origin Story" movies go I think this is a really good one. It quickly establishes who Stephen Strange is and what he's like... the motivation behind why he changes... and then his change. Everything happens pretty fast and it all just kind of works together. All of the side characters are interesting and they add to the story also... so that's good. I know that everyone loves the first Iron Man movie... I've never gotten through watching it because it's a little slow. This one is a lot better paced.
This movie is visually impressive also. I love the way that they show him going to different dimensions... and it's kind of a cool contrast to see the hospital setting and then the place that he goes to learn how to travel through dimensions and then when they show him traveling through places. I love the scene with the apple and then how that ends up coming to play at the end of the movie also... it's just really good!
I'm probably going to get into this in a few weeks... but I really liked the ending of this movie also. It was kind of a nice close- but we still knew that there would be more with Doctor Strange. I think a lot of the origin stories do that... but some of the sequels kind of leave you hanging a little bit. This is part of why I like watching the Marvel movies out of order... but this one fits no matter when you watch it!
I also feel like this can show that these minor characters can hold up without being in The Avengers or another movie. When Captain America: Civil War came out I feel like they were kind of leaning more towards a lot of crossovers between characters other than just in The Avengers movies. I think Doctor Strange is pretty cool because I don't think he needed anyone else. Besides the brief cameo from Thor in the end credits- he held up well all on his own and I hope they do more of these. I want a Scarlett Witch movie is what I'm getting at here. I have a feeling that might not be possible, but I love Scarlett Witch and I want more female superheroes.
So that is everything I want to say about Doctor Strange.
Bye!
