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.

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:

Sooooo... you went to see Dr Strange instead? 

Is that what you were trying to say Slashy?   :))

Sir Slash

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.  >:(

I'm guessing that's when she wears the nurse's outfit?  O:-)

I'll probably be going Wednesday.   :nerd:

Sir Slash

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.
