Some early teasers...
8)
This one has some earlier released ass-kickin footage in it:
I'm already stoked.
O0
Bout time someone did a decent Matrix sequel.
I had an old girlfriend who used to call me, "Doctor Strange". It wasn't for opening her mind though. ::)

I take it she caught you with another, then?
No, after that one, I needed a doctor.
I hope this is not a psycho-drama. If the intro is maybe the first 15 minutes it would be good.

Hoping the whole film is filled with origin story, too.
Judging by their public filming, with Benedict Bandersnatch in the iconic cape, there is some kind of ass-kicking action in the latter part.
Less pebble snatching from hands and more mf'ing sorcery, I say!
They'll obviously be releasing more trailers before release. Probably still working on the special effects for some of it.
I SAW UR BLACK PANTHR CAMEO THERE, MOVIE TRAILER! >:D :smitten:

Soooo... the Eye of Agamotto will be the Time Gem evidently. TIME! TIME! YOU WON'T GET IT! By hook or by crook... we will. {ting!}
(No, they don't quote the Prisoner intro in the trailer, my brain just pulled the geeky association and it fit rather amusingly. O0 )
The Time Gem would be an elegant way of explaining how Strange accomplishes a lot of his magic, manipulating timeflow back and forth in relation to standard time.
Thanos is going to have a heck of a time taking those gems from so many superheroes.
Damn strait. Wait till he finds out the last gem is really Odin's left nut. :knuppel2:
Hey! No spoilers!

It's practically been confirmed, without officially having been done. The time gem as Eye Of Agamatto, that is.
Also seems that Dormammu is likely to show up, late in the first film. Saw this info a short while back from a different source:
Quote....
This video reveals that Kaecilius is one of a group known as the 'Zealots,' who have become seduced by forces from other dimensions. Kaecilius has dedicated himself to "spilling the barriers between these dimensions".
Perhaps the most interesting part of this is the word 'seduced'. Screen-shots unwittingly shared by Community co-creator Dan Harmon - who's been working on reshoots for Doctor Strange - had included a file named 'Kaecilius_01_Seduction'. The video's use of the same word is telling; Kaecilius has travelled into another reality, and encountered a power that has tempted him away from the night. Given that another of Harmon's files was entitled 'Strange Confronts Dormammu,' it's not hard to work out just what cosmic force Kaecilius has been tempted by! Dormammu is a classic enemy of Doctor Strange, a demonic being of near-infinite power who seeks to extend his rule to our dimension. It seems that Kaecilius is — whether consciously or unwittingly — serving Dormammu's ends.

It would indeed be weird not to have Dormammu in a Strange story somewhere. Overall he's really more important than Thanos (who isn't nearly as important to the main Marvel continuity as his inspiration, Darkseid for DC.)
The film is already killing it. $86 mil international opening.

Close enough? :))

she doesn't know about Dr Weird. I'm just happy she knows that "weird" and "strange" are synonyms.

I mean, c'mon, she's 6 and she knows who Dr Strange is - how cool is that?!

In related news, she's already six -- and I remember asking when she was born if you were going to nickname her Bayonetta.

...... that.... that
can't be right, can it?!
Was never a fan of her game. But I've been referring to her as Bayonette for years

Oh, I figured that.
Just got a big ROFL because I quickly pictured Doctor Weird's nipple-sposure smock and crazy tube-head hairdo via those words. Superimposed over Benrofit Cumbersnatch. :2funny: O0
Saw it tonight. Not my fave of the Marvel crop, but worthwhile. :peace:
My wife and I saw it last night. It was surprisingly good. I was a big fan of the comic through about 1990. I have a framed Dr. Strange artwork in my office.
It is a reasonable fit with the Dr. Strange universe. They captured the personality of Steven Strange. Ancient One was totally different but it worked pretty well. They set up the next movie very well.
I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. The reaction in the theater (at the Disney movie complex in Orlando) was very positive.
Seeing it with the kids this weekend. They're very excited.
I've been wanting to grok it for months. Will patiently wait until next week to avoid the extra crowds.
Kids and I enjoyed it. Give it an B+/A-. Pretty standard Marvel fare at this point, but well executed with an excellent cast.
I'll second Mirth's scores. Wife and Girls liked it. Effects were very cool. Decent story and character work. Does not disappoint. O0
Don't forget, there are 2 credits scenes.
Yep, we saw both of them. :coolsmiley:
I was supposed to see Hacksaw Ridge this evening but Regal Cinema shit the bed on all of us by somehow losing the film by a computer screw-up of some kind. Everybody got a refund but that don't make-up for it. How do you 'lose' a whole film that's been playing all day? :wow:
Somebody accidentally deleted the torrent link?

Sooooo... you went to see Dr Strange instead?
Is that what you were trying to say Slashy? :))
I was damned tempted but I promised my Son-In-Law we'd go see it together. Plus it would've been a real hard-sell with my wife. She calls me 'Doctor Strange'. Sometimes.
I was hoping to go see the movie today or tomorrow, but neither of the theaters near me have any late showings, just in the afternoon/early evening when I'm still in bed. Bastards. >:(
Quote from: Sir Slash on November 06, 2016, 10:42:06 PM

I'm guessing that's when she wears the nurse's outfit? O:-)
I'll probably be going Wednesday. :nerd:
I'm stuck. I can go see movies anytime but I promised the wife we'd see Hacksaw together and the Son-In-Law we'd see Strange together. And neither of them can go any time soon. I feel like doing a Top-Secret movie run without them but with my luck the local news channel would be there interviewing people who go to movies by themselves and I'd get caught for sure. But..... it is Marvel.....and I can always get a new family. Right? :hide:
Family is very overrated.

Plus... you can find far better seating when you go by yourself. And it's far cheaper.
Don't underestimate the advantages of ditching the baggage! ^-^

So is spousal sex. Going to the movies may not be the only thing you'll be doing alone.

I enjoyed Doctor Strange. Good movie! :bd:
My only real complaint would be that some moments in the fight scenes looked like the action was way too close to the camera, and I couldn't make out what the hell was happening for a second or two, here & there.
That initial long astral journey was a pretty badass acid trip candidate. :coolsmiley: Happy about the special guest appearance. O0 I'm glad this origin story is out of the way, because the sequels will have assloads of potential. :dreamer:
Just got back from watching this with my daughter. It seemed a bit slow to me. I understood why, to build the character and give him the opportunity to redeem himself through self realization and awareness, but, it seemed to drag. Once there was understanding, everything seemed to fall into place just a bit too quickly. And I agree with Nef on the fight scenes completely. All in all enjoyable. Especially with the potential Dr. Strange brings to the ultimate conflict with Thanos.
Finally saw it today in 3-D. Fantastic film, very well done with a lot of great special effects, humor, tragedy, action, etc. In other words, a Marvel movie. :clap:
You have to think Warner Brothers is sitting there going, "WTH can't we get a DC cinema universe going like this?! We have the best known fictional characters in human history! They have bleeping Doctor Strange!!"
Yeah, Dr. Strange is kind of the Tony Stark story in a differently setting. You'd think they wouldn't be able to keep telling the same story over and over but they do it so well that nobody cares. I got to give them credit for that. You actually care about these characters-- their 'Human' connection. And the mind-bending special effects make it seem like something totally new. Batman and Superman are great but don't SEEM human at all, just Superheroes. My 2 cents.
Hell, even Vision seemed human.
Disney needs to ship some of the Marvel writers over to the Star Wars side of the house and reboot that whole franchise.

"Vizh! We
talked about this!" "Well, I saw the door was open this time so I figured it would be okay..."
I saw Dr. Strange last Friday. I wasn't enthralled with the film, but I did enjoy it well enough. It was funnier than I'd expected.
I saw this film about a month ago.
I thought it was very good - and I wasn't expecting a lot from it. Dr Strange isn't a character I knew and didn't seem to be one I was interested in - but as always, Marvel made me like the character and enjoy yet another movie from them.
They just keep doing it.
There were some very obvious CGI stuff - very obvious - but given what was going on on the screen, I think they can be forgiven.
Overall 4 out of 5 from moi and my daughter.
Just saw that one earlier today. Frickin' hilarious!
