Really disappointing scenes: Reed Richards with all his super-intelligence points Wanda right to the Illuminati member to take out first The all-powerful Illuminati that took out their own Sorcerer Supreme is so ignorant of magic powers just lands in front of Wanda like target practice without a worry Kamar-Taj's defenses with hundreds of sorcerers is so weak Wanda takes it all down by entering ONE young sorcerer's mind America Chavez learns how to fully learn to control her powers after Stephen Strange reassures her he has faith in her Wong as the Sorcerer Supreme is so misused he is constantly playing catch-up to events around him as a weak supporting cast member There is so much disappointment in this film that should have been incredible. But wasn't. Agreed, but I think it had the benefit of the Eternals, Black Widow, and Shang-Chi lowering expectations so far that this movie seemed Oscar worthy in comparison. And Elizabeth Olsen may have a bit of a following........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't like that scene at all, and I am not a fan of Black Bolt. I am not a fan of Black Bolt and thought it was hilarious. Sort of like how they deal with Translucent in The Boys.

Somehow The Boys pulls it off whereas I felt the scene in Dr Strange was extremely cheesy: the grin Black Bolt gives as how powerful he is was mentioned by Reed Richards to blowing his own head up. :P Edited June 21, 2022 by Artboy99 Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

▫️ Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Looks like the IMAX Enhanced versions on D+ give you a little more bang than the streaming services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsilverjanet Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I will say that the Imax versions are a nice touch from Disney, I wish other streaming services would incorporate that but I understand why it's easier for Disney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidpg Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Watched this movie last night. Gotta say, it really wasn't very good. It didn't push any storylines forward, acting overall wasn't great and a lot of questionable choices wwre made (as already discussed on this thread). I really was a HUGE fane of the first wave of MCU movies, and was genuinely excited for each release. All of the latest wave of movies, while being moneymakers, have been really not good (except Spider-Man...there were issues with that one to though). Here's hoping the new Thor will buck the trend... kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drotto Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 This movie did well and is absolutely profitable. I will contend that after Spider-Man made 1.8 billion, that this movie missing the 1 billion mark could be considered a mild miss. I say this because the MCU really tried to make this the focal point movie so far for phase 4, and other MCU films similarly placed have been making 1 billion look easy. Yes, we are no longer in the Pandemic era of movies, deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadroch Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I watched this last night and loved the imax style and the special effects. Much of the movie reminded me of the Race to Atlantis ride they used to have in Vegas in the beginning of the century. I wasn't familiar with America Chavez or some of the Illuminatti but it was easy to pick up most of the back story. The effects kept me interersted longer than I expected and I really like the first three quarters of the movie, although it inevitably crashed. special effects- A+ plot- C- Overall, a B- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
