Doctor Strange played a lot like pre-Iron Man 1 super hero movies. It would have bombed without MCU and Cumberbunchesofoats, but it had 2 wonderful crutches to make it appear halfway decent.

Well Suicide Squad was a surprise hit that overperformed pretty hard, it'd be unfair to compare them

This movie performed more or less according to expectations, maybe a little under because no 700M

Exactly my point. Ayer confirmed there were basically no reshoots, the meddling was in editing aka post production, and it was mostly cutting stuff. I think the movie was shit just so we're clear

I'm no veteran comics reader, but even I could tell the "Staff of the Living Tribunal" should have been much more than a stick weapon.

>>90084069
I'm pretty sure none of his other movies made as much money as this one.
Also for the argument of RDJr, his movie the judge bombed despite him being in it.
Just because an actor has a lot of loyal fans doesn't mean they're going to watch anything he does.

>we will never see eternity or the living tribunal in a mainstream movie

>>90084366
>>90084156
But the magic Shaolin monks were still cooler than Disney's uninspired Sith rehashes, Cooler weapons too.

The magic in this movie was so boring. All they could do was fold shit and make glowing energy bullshit with their hands, the portal ring, astral shit, and the time travel amulet. That's it. Also the whole "Mirror Dimension" thing, which is just a cop out so they can have big magic battles in a city but no one gets hurt because these movies have no balls.

I love Hellblazer, was disappointed with the rape of the source material of Constantine, and enjoyed DrS.

That being said, Constantine has aged really well. In retrospect, it's a far better supernatural wizard hero movie.

I was honestly hoping for Constantine sort of magic, rather than mostly LCD Jedi.

RDJ is Iron Man and the only Marvel movies that have made more than 900M were with him as MC. In Civil War they paid him like 8 times more than Evans

>It also didn't help that Kaicellius was the blandest possible villain.

This is a problem with all the Marvel villains lately. Marvel has decided that the best way to make a villain is to give them an ideological motivation that opposes them to the hero, so they're just trying to do what's right in their mind. This is supposed to make them more relatable, but it just saps all the joy out of their villainy. You got Zemo, the Night Elves, Ronan, Robert Redfordman, Kaicellius. The only one with a personal reason to hate the heroes (Zemo) is a walking cipher with no emotional affect for all of the movie. The last good villains they did were Ultron and Killian who had a some personality at least. Ultron has this weird familial hatred of Stark, and Killian wants to kill Tony/Become him out of jealousy/vengeance, that's way better.

Honestly.. I think the legacy of Harry Potter and the MCUs' current universe sort of forced DrS into a corner on how magic would work.

It's hard to mix medieval magic with sci-fi.

Should have went with a more SAGA vibe. I could see its companion being Guardians. More mystical beings and magic creatures.

Deadpool made something like 15 mill less than ss, but it's budget and advertising were shoestring, so it was infinitely more popular.

>>90085242
Harry potter was not kungfu fighting and it didn't have those stupid sling ring effects

Harry potter was also minimal in magic

Etc etc. Obviously moving away from traditional magic and trying to bring in eastern aesthetics and spiritualist imagery. Rather that the candles, chalk, and full moon sort of stuff.

You missed the point entirely.

>>90084563
>In Civil War they paid him like 8 times more than Evans
Because of the contract he signed for Iron Man 1 meant that he gets a percentage of the movie's profits that he appears in. It lasts until his contract ends.

Evans and the others being paid less is because Marvel actually thought about their contracts this time around instead of being haphazard.

You mean it was moderately more profitable, not "infinitely more popular." If it made less money, then it sold fewer tickets, and so it was actually less popular, not more, even if it cost less to make and so made the studio happier.

Despite the mininmal budget and advertising, Suicide squad barely did better than Deadpool with the foreign market factored in. As far as upwards numbers go anyway, as far as profits, Deadpool was leaps and bounds more profitable than that trainwreck.

So for all it's marketing, bells and whistles, edgy marketing, and loud in your face adverts, Deadpool only barely had a lower upper number than SS.

I can guarantee you when their sequels come Deadpool will btfo out of it in every way, that's even if SS2 even makes it out the door.

Yes.. I know. It did magic well, I'm not saying it's the direction that they could or should have taken with DrS.

>this whole thread
I honestly thought Dr. Strange is the best introductory movie in the MCU.

It wasn't perfect, but it had strong acting and great visuals. The only real flaw for me was the pacing had issues. They really should have made it go over the course of a few years. I wasn't the hugest fan of the McAdam's character, but I understood the reason why they had it and I thought their dynamic was fine and at the very least provided a great start to the movie. I loved the way he beat Dormammu.

All the bitching about his magics not being powerful enough or whatever is dumb, he isn't even the sorcerer supreme yet, he's still training at the end of the movie. Derrickson himself straight up said that.

Its a strong start and shows a lot of potential as a series.

>>90096739
>All the bitching about his magics not being powerful enough

Who said that? People said they were dumb-looking and poorly conceived.

>>90083516

>>90090462

Dr. Strange and SS had nearly identical marketing budgets. I know you are getting your figures from Box Office Mojo, in which case you should know that your 'extensive reshoots' comment is just you pulling bullshit out of your ass.

Dr. Strange also was released in international markets that Suicide Squad was not ALLOWED to be screened in, per censorship by those territories/countries. THEREFORE, DS should HAVE made more AND did not.

>>90096739
>The only real flaw for me was the pacing had issues

It's essentially IM with better visuals. A single self-involved egocentric man who thinks he's better than everyone else overcomes a health and physical handicap to come out victorious. There are more examples I could make but you just need to do a browser search with "DS IM comparisons."

Captain America - TFA is the best intro movie. Thor had great visuals but suffered from a limited budget, which is why they were stuck filming all those scenes in New Mexico, versus the fact that DS could film world wide due to an increased CGI budget plus how costs in that area have decreased in just 5 years. Antman had to introduce too many things AND try to be more of a comedy. Hulk had two intros and those were just failures on so many levels it's too funny/sad to get into.

>>90097907

I mean if you look market by market, SS really blow the fuck out Dr Strange. It pulled almost 100M more just in the US

Here is two plot points that made my autism flare up:
>1. Strange reading wizard-books written in sanskrit through google translate.
Books on mystical shit are usually chock full of metaphors and alternative meanings. Understanding what the fuck they're trying to say is hard even if they're in your native language and google struggles to translate a fucking restaurant menu.

>2. His girlfriend surgeon patching him up after he got stabbed hard enough to have cardiac tamponade.
The needle and a couple of stitches aren't enough. He'd need a full on surgery to fix the pericardial sac.

>>90098734

Dr. Strange didn't even make it to the top ten of the films released in 2016 domestically and worldwide, it also didn't make the top 10.

Suicide Squad got an nomination and Rogue One will likely get that 'possible win' you are picturing for Strange. Hell, for that matter, Schumakers Batsuited nipples got THREE nominations.

>>90098892
Not making it to the top 10 doesn't make it a "bomb", though. A "bomb" is a failure, generally a financial one.
Making back four times your production budget is not a failure at all, let alone a colossal one, which is what the term "bomb" implies.

It's because the average person has no fucking clue who Dr. Strange is.

Suicide Squad was much much better than Doctor Strange

>>90098786
And it's a cuck without a source and tinfoil hat.

SS was a batman spinoff. Strange was a stand alone that didn't need batman and the joker to inflate it's viewership yet still manage to flop with the critics and gross domestic

I'd like to think that's commentary on how Strange is more creative and uses his artifacts to a better extent than Mordo who was very rigid and uninspired.

I thought that was a reference to one of the test pilots Hammer messed up in Iron Man 2.

Now I think he deserved that crash!

>>90099041
Ah that makes sense

But we've seen with Iron Man that the popularity of a character doesn't determine the popularity of the movie. Don't people have enough confidence in Marvel Studios to make good movies, even about unknown characters?
How many people actually went to BvS because they know Superman from childhood?

Why is /co/ the most feminized board of all?
Seriously, what kind of word is that?
Do you also call other people ''meany poopyheads'' unironically?
Is this because /co/ is influenced by Tumblr?

They are all bottom of the barrel garbage that wants to attract as many people as possible.
There's a 100% chance that anyone who watches superhero movies or reads superhero comics is a manchild.

Okay.

Milenial is anyone born from the late 80's until now.

All this ''nerd culture'' is formed by them.

>>90099247
People say cape flicks are their own think but I believe they're fill the same niche as 80s and 90s action movies. Flat characters and simple plot that are an excuse for mindless action and cool special effects.

>>90096739
>The only real flaw for me was the pacing had issues. They really should have made it go over the course of a few years.

I thought this when I watched the movie too, but a friend pointed out that strange got gray hair sometime during his training, showing that it had been years. It's subtle though, and makes you think the person they want strange to fix in the beginning isn't rhodey, since the timing would be all fucked up between movies (unless lol timegem).

so I just watched this tonight

it's an above average movie. anyone who says its a below average movie has been spoiled by sampling only the cream of the crop and doesn't realize how truly bad a movie can be or how many truly bad movies are made each year.

a huge chunk of why its above average is the visuals and how they impact the narrative, including stuff like the Dark Dimension resembling neurons in a brain. but it would be disingenuous to the dismiss the movie just because one aspect works in its favor above the others.

The OST was mediocre. For a movie that relies so much on LSD visuals, it didn't have the soundtrack to back it up. get Infected Mushroom or Brennan Heart or someone in there, and never have any scenes with no bgm, and you would nearly double the quality of the movie. Hell, get whoever it is that does the music for Yoko Taro's games. something surreal and with a high bpm.

There were a number of times where it tried to be funny when it shouldn't have, basically failing to read the mood. The best example that comes to mind is in the London Sanctorum, when Steven is struggling to crawl away when abruptly the Cloak of Levitation starts attacking the guy hunting him. It had the overall presentation of slapstick comedy which the scene just did not call for.

My other major complaint is the pacing. Specifically,
the movie as is falls more or less into three narrative quarters of roughly 20 minutes. The first quarter, with Steven as a Surgeon and his following accident, goes too long.
The last quarter, from The Ancient One having just died to the denouement once Dormammu has been bargained, wasn't long enough. it felt like Team Strange vs Team Cultists didn't hit the climax it needed before Steven flew off to bargain. There should have been a 1v1 between Strange and Kaecilius in there for at least 3-5 minutes where Strange is constantly on the ropes and things look truly desperate.

that's my review

>>90097907
What goes on the stated budget doesn't necessarily cost them anything, they just put the assessed value down for tax and other purposes. Disney doesn't have to actually pay for that much outside of their holdings and doesn't do things like secure the rights for songs to make an AMV that adds nothing and looks like it was made by a tween with a YouTube account.

>>90099399
I heard the scene was edited from the original, which really hammered in how long Strange and Dormammu were trapped in the loop and how many times Strange had to die to save the world.

I think the broader issue is that Strange was wearing the Eye for nearly half the movie, even after they jumped in and chastized him for messing with stuff he didn't understand he didn't actually take it off before showed him the doors to the other sanctorums. A possibly better way would have been for him to have put it back then, and at the end have him trying to outrun the encroaching Dark Dimension and Kaecilius to retrieve it so he can do the rewind spell

>>90083351
A movie about Dr. Strange made more than half a billion going up against WB's try at reviving Harry Potter.

>>90083351
What were they thinking with those ugly transparent blades and portal slings
Did they ran out of money?

>>90100852
the transparent blades were meant to seem 'wrong' compared to the golden constructs of the heroes.

I dunno what was up with the portal slings

>>90098516
Incredible Hulk = Thor in my opinion.

>>90099399
The entire movie was luck luster like antman
The were shot it didn't save the movie for me

>>90098948

>>90100948
The whips made me want a Castlevania movie.

>>90083351
It didn't.
I mean it didn't make a billion but it was still a big success.

Personally I thought it was okay. Not GREAT, but okay.
We had a magical Kung Fu movie that got big name actors who couldn't do martial arts so the action wasn't eastern magic kung fu levels.

And I felt they really need to stop trying to add so much comedy in a movie that could still be good maybe even better if played a lil more serious.
Like when he puts on the cape and they take this moment to be all Dramatically Badass Moment and then the cape tries to caress him and it ruins the moment for a weak chuckle.

>>90100948
>The inception copy cat was just so obvious
I see no fault in taking a concept wasted in another movie and making more of it.
Inception didn't have a fiftieth of space folding as it should have

>>90098686
Movie had Benedick Cumberbatch. Every Sherlock fangirl including the queen of England was gonna see DS for that alone.

>>90101018

There's also no point in stealing or doing the inception ethier

>>90101102

>>90083351
The kungfu inception threw me off
And the portals looks retarded and cheap other than that its surprisingly not as exciting to watch cause you know all of it is fake even with the kungfu action

The bargain thing annoyed me

>>90101237
For this one its too obvious

>>90101335
Its almost as if they cut it when its about to get good like the ancient one showdown and the Hong Kong fights.

So we are left with strange running with his gay whip magic and the gay cape slap stick scenes and electric ghost fight

>>90083516
Some of those numbers are off. Doctor Strange was less profitable in just pure numbers but more profitable in the sense that the only recognizable character in the movie was Benedict Cumberbatch and it still managed to be a hit. SS had known characters like Joker + A-star celebrities like Will Smith but still made less than Deadpool.

>>90083351

It did well and honestly its a fantastic job of introducing strange to the movie audiences.

>>90083351
I thought it was boring same with ant man
I never felt sympathy for him
And I actually don't mind the kungfu
This is their 2nd weakest movie next to antman

But the inception magic and the slowmo was kind of annoying

>>90102182
This one is too obvious really

>>90103087
how was it obvious when inceptions entire basis was dreams? Name a film with explosions that isnt just copying off michael bay

>>90101946
I don't remeber them saying that
Its shitty anyways

>>90103117
The effects were to obvious not the way in context

>>90083351
The only great things about this movie are the visuals (hope it gets an Oscar) and "Dormammu I've come to make sure there's at least one scene people will remember from our movies". And maybe Strange actually killing someone.

Other than that, it's pretty mediocre.

>>90103059
>never fleet sympathy
Me too
Maybe because its Cumberbatch

I was laughing at the car accident part
I didn't root for him to get better, I just wanted to see magic and not the Inception hack part which was lackluster
