My thoughts I sent to a friend right after I saw it:
“I liked it a lot! Plot-wise, it was kind of disappointing, but it was visually interesting. And I feel like it has a lot of details in it that will contribute to other movie’s plots.
But I liked it!!
Well, I’ll rephrase that. Not so much the plot as the characters. Strange was sUPER arrogant, and that was pretty much all there was to his character until the last like 30 minutes, and even then, it wasn’t some huge turnaround. [Spoiler] didn’t seem like it was as big of a plot-twist as it could have been, and Mordo’s reaction wasn’t as emotional as it should have been for [spoiler reasons]. Wong didn’t seem to serve that much of a purpose to the actual movie, just to the off-screen events of it. The battle with [I guess spoiler. It was the big villain] was entered into really quickly and the concept was great, but it felt rushed in execution.
The movie kind of felt like a really long intro to the character and that side of the universe.
It also seems like a movie I’d appreciate more when I watch it additional times so I can pick up on more subtle character development.”
