I'm hoping Dr. Strange proves to be a successful franchise so that hopefully Ghost Rider gets a reboot (and they get it right this time) and from there (maybe) we can have movies about the Midnight Sons.Quote:

Wasn't bad. Wasn't good, but was nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be. However, it didn't quite have the same level of nerdiness the first one had and some of the feeling was lost a little. It's kinda hard to put a finger on.
It was silly, but the wrong type of silly I think.
I actually didn't like Doctor Strange at all. It was a bit slow, all the medical scenes were just gross (as opposed to Deadpool that was gruesome funny) and an inanimate object stole the show as best supporting role in the film.Quote:

I didn't have high expectations to start with but it struggle to reach that for me.
Interestingly my husband (who isn't a fan of magical movies) quite liked it for the humour aspect (again stolen by the supporting role of an inanimate object).
Cumberbun, sorry- Cumberbatch's American accent made me think of House. Also if you've watched Venture Bros you kind of expect Doctor Strange to sound like Doctor Orpheus...
Charm. It had lost the charm of the originalQuote:

I hated it. So hard to understand with all the buildings turning upside down and iside out. Kinda like the Inception movie which was awful also. I didn't find the humour funny at all. The whole movie was just flatlining for me.Quote:

We really enjoyed it as well, but there could have done with a bit more character development. Can totally understand the choice of the character and what it will do for the franchise. And maybe a couple more fantastic beasts couldn't have hurt :pQuote:

Couple of good things like that one ant-man bit and black panther. But anything to do with the core of the conflict wasn't very good.
Spider-man was ok but really loses some of his personality when almost every marvel hero is a quip machine. GCI Spidey suit looked horrible, better get a real suit for his movie :/
5/10
Fantastic Beasts
Another dud, I'm not on a roll with the big releases right now. Anytime the movie focused on the actual beasts the film ground to a halt for a boring set-piece. Anything that was interesting, like the new Salem stuff was sorely lacking and made the villain/s very flat. 3rd act was terrible in the most generic blockbuster way, mindless spectacle destruction from a plume of smoke. Bah
5/10
Fantastic Beasts - What an utter delight! I enjoyed most apsects, all I could've asked for was a little more about Newt himself, a little more of history, which is upsetting as he wont be the sole focus moving forward.
The scene's inside his suitcase with all the differing habitats was beautiful and shows that Yates has great understanding of the Wizarding Worlds, and showed 1920's New York a bit more polished than it should be, but still looked good.
The whole death sentence thing I felt was Yates and Rowling showing a contrast between just how different the worlds are, and Newt's little comments on slavery were great!
