Saw Dr. Strange today and holy cow was it pretty. I thought Inception was awesome effects-wise when it came out and this was Inception on steroids. We didn't see it in 3D, because it always manages to make me nauseous (minus a few animated movies), but it was still stunning in regular format. I appreciated the humor and the bad puns, but the flow of the movie wasn't as smooth as some of the others. I definitely agree with Aimless' comment about how it could have been 30 min longer just to explain more about what the sorcerers do. (I had to ask my husband a few times about things, as he's read the comics and I'm not as familiar with Dr. Strange.) But the cast did really well and it was very enjoyable.
Method of Madness:
Could you or Aimless let me know which parts you thought should have been extended (in spoiler tags of course)? I thought it was definitely long enough.

My thoughts on what seemed to fast:
(click to show/hide)Pretty much the entire third act, where the majority of the conflict vs the villain took place. The pacing of Strange's training kept a pretty decent pace, but once he opens the Eye of Agamotto it's like they jam the speed level to 'super fast' and snap it off. It's like they went from Harry Potter's first year at Hogwart's to the final battle vs Voldemort in one scene. He goes from barely being able to form a magic weapon to fighting off multiple evil wizards who can kill masters without breaking a sweat, and being able to twist time like playdo. He went from 'promising but difficult student' to 'Sorcerer Supreme' in a matter of hours.
Method of Madness:
(click to show/hide)Portraying his learning to manipulate time in what seems to be a very short time is pretty clever when you consider that his "battle" could've lasted for thousands of years.
