that was better than I thought it would be.

haven't gathered my thoughts entirely yet but:

- the visual handling of space/time and the mystic world was fantastic.
- strange's sudden proficiency felt a bit rushed and sudden, but i think it was warranted given time constraints.
- mmmm rachel mcaddams....
- i have no clue what strange's origin story is in the comics, but the parallels drawn between his role as a physician and as a sorcerer are highlighted really well throughout the movie
- mads was a little bit wasted on this badguy role
- oh man dormamu
- i guess the last fight was a little anticlimactic, but i still think it was handled well, and it's really all strange could have hoped to accomplish. if he managed to stave off dormy in an actual battle, that would have defeated the entire threatening all-powerful multiverse shitting scariness of dormamu. so i'm glad they had strange have to resort on the power of an infinity stone to save the world.
- i also like that things didn't wrap up all peachy after hong kong was saved. there were consequences of strange's actions, so the movie doesn't suddenly wrap up all nicely.
- this movie feels really important for the overall MCU because it literally adds a new dimension to the entire universe. the avengers are pretty much 100% unaware of what the hell happened at all for this entire movie thanks to the mirror realm and the time stone.
- that entire fight sequence of hong kong rewinding was A+ and possibly one of my favorite scenes so far in MCU. also the part where the woman's brain splattered on the floor rewinding to her flying back into the un-crashing car was a little more graphic than i expected, but i appreciate that marvel wanted to specifically show the undoing of so much death and destruction.
- bomberman cabbagepatch was an excellent casting choice for strange imo

spiderman and maybe thor ragnarok tomorrow.
