Doctor Strange (2016)

20170302:
I enjoyed Doctor Strange. I can't wait for a sequel.

Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch)

While I didn't watch Doctor Strange on Netflix, Netflix has previously determined the movie for me as a 98% and 97% match. I decided to give the movie a thumbs up.

1: lol why wear such out of place clothing?
1: so far 18 min in they are portraying the intro well.

The Ancient One (Tilda Swinton)

1: the intro action sequence was a plus.
1: huh here it seems their desire to convince him is high.
1: I would have thought they would refuse and he'd learn through some other method...
1: I wonder how this compares with other origin stories (I've only ever watched the anime)
2: "It's just tea. With a bit of honey."
1, 2: "have you seen that before in a gift shop?"

1: oh okay, now she refuses, "No."
2: Oh, I forgot Mordo was the one to convince the Ancient One to take Strange as a student. Ironic.
1: lol "Your wi-fi password, we're not savages."
1: "People used to think I was funny." "Did they work for you?"
1: hehe Strange's facial hair
A: Beyonce.

Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelson)

1: Something happened to the stream and the audio fell out of sync with the video. I tried various times to fix the problem by starting it from the beginning and fast forwarding but it refused to work. After some trial and error, I finally got it working by pressing fast forward, slowing down the fast forward to 2x, and then hitting play.

Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor)

A: Mordo scolds Strange and asks "Temporal manipulations can create branches in time. Unstable dimensional openings, spatial paradoxes, time loops! You want to get stuck experiencing the same moment over and over again forever, or never having existed at all?!" (foreshadowing); 2: "You want to get stuck in a time loop?" (foreshadowing)
A: "They really should put the warnings before this stuff."
A: lol. One of his shields disappeared.

1: references the Avengers
1: oh lol that cape; 2: Ada recognizes his cape in the case.
A: "Mister Doctor"
2: "You don't know what that does, do you?"
2: Why do they have doors if they can make portals? On that note, what are the rules for leaving the mirror dimension?
1: the Stan Lee cameo. (Mordo and Strange land on a bus that he's sitting on)
1: Oh it's an infinity stone...

1: Haha, "allow me to help you" (Thor: Ragnarok (2017))
1: The after credits... Leads to a sequel.
