Guillermo del Toro is gearing up, according to Roger Ebert.

Marvel has hired a couple of new writers.

It's interesting to note that this may be the first Marvel film under Disney. I wonder what, if anything, that will mean. Will the Disney logo be included with the Marvel logo, or will they leave it off, to emphasize Marvel as a separate studio in order to attract different demographics, as they do/did with Miramax and Hollywood Pictures? (I'm thinking the latter.)

Mickey Mouse will appear as the Sorcerer's Apprentice?

Donald Duck teaming up with Howard?

Little Miss Muffet being frightened every time she sees Peter Parker? Doc Ock retiring from supervillainy after falling in love and settling down with Ursula?

Wolverine accusing that short little gruff guy from Mulan of ripping him off?

Ka-zar having abandon plans to make Pryde Rock his new home when Simba and Zabu get into a fight?

It's official. Benedict Cumberbatch is Earth's Sorcerer Supreme.

Funny that the guy who turned down Doctor Who because he didn't want his face on lunch boxes agrees to play a Marvel superhero.

I wonder how many fans are hoping his face will appear on Underoos? ;-)

I liked it.

I wasn't as blown away as I was with Guardians of the Galaxy, and I didn't think it was as fun as Antman, but I found it to still be a fairly entertaining movie.

As far as nits, that's a bit tough because it's not stated how long Strange is in Nepal, is it? His training/education in sorcery did seem a bit rushed, but that's mitigated somewhat by the doctor's photographic memory.

I thought Mordo's shift in loyalty at the end was inconsistent with the character. When he discovers why the Ancient One is so ancient he feels betrayed, yet his reason for leaving was because Strange tricked Dormammu by "breaking the rules." Where does he think these rules came from? He's questioning a lot of things at this point but apparently not the basic elements of his education in the magic arts. So to me, the second end credits scene was a bit jarring, but I guess that was the point.

Although the buildup and resolution was more logical, the final showdown with Dormammu reminded me of the live action Green Lantern movie, where the hero is practically brand new and bests a much stronger foe.

Poor Mads Mikkelsen. The makeup around his eyes looked very irritating. When he was in the medieval straight jacket, for lack of a better term, his eyes were so red and watery he had tears running down his face.

I loved the levitation cloak!

His training/education in sorcery did seem a bit rushed

Yeah, there was that. I commented to somebody that it felt like a montage scene without the montage.

{[Mordo's] questioning a lot of things at this point but apparently not the basic elements of his education in the magic arts.]

The Ancient One TOLD Strange that Mordo was rigid.

Right? Give us some exiting montage music Marvel!

The Ancient One TOLD Strange that Mordo was rigid.
True, and he fit the bill pretty well. It just seemed strange to me at the end when he quit the order instead of vying for the position of Sorcerer Supreme, since he feels he knows the "rules" better than the others. Then goes on to reduce the number of sorcerers in the world on his own, mostly likely breaking other rules. Rigidity and consistency are certainly not mutually exclusive, I simply thought the above a better outcome instead of making Mordo a villain as easily as flipping a switch. Just my 2 cents
