I just got out of it and while it's still fresh in my mind, I absolutely love to this movie.

I don't know where it falls in the Marvel film ranking, but I would certainly put in the top half. Maybe top 5.

SPOILER

The final confrontation with Dormammu is clever and better than the straight up fight these films normally end with. The manner in which Dormammu attacks is what I expect the visuals will look like when the showdown with Thanos occurs.

The negative feedback this film is getting is confusing. It's great and has an identity all its own and doesn't rely too much on Marvel Cinematic continuity.

I liked it, but to me it feels as if it should have had another draft. It really seems like a two draft movie. First time they forgot to add the love interest and Mordo turning evil, and then just tagged them on without thinking it through. Rachel McAdams disappears for like an hour and really does nothing to the plot. Going back to the Hospital was just awkward. They should have thought that through more.

But the villain was in the right direction. Best one they've had on a while.

All of this.

I do think it's perfectly acceptable for people to have a problem with it feeling similar. I get it. Heroes really have a finite set of journeys regardless of who you are talking about. The problem is that Marvel is introducing hero after hero.

What they have done is, outside of Iron Man, gone pretty far outside of the first film in the second. First Avenger gave us Winter Soldier. Thor gave us Dark World.

I think they'll take another chance, especially given Mordo, in the second movie.
