I liked it


I thought it was good, a solid 7/10 for me. I'm fine with the story, I like the super heroes popping up in the alternative universes, particularly a new incarnation of Hayley Atwell. I thought Xochitl Gomez was just right in her part - I hod to google how you pronounce Xochitl and it was nothing like I would have guessed but I suspect we'll be familiar with in in a few more years.
I think they got the CGI right as well. In the first Dr. Strange film it seemed over the top and meant to impress but here it supports the story which all you want it to do really.
I guess it helps the film that the three main characters, Strange, Wanda & Wong, are now so well established - and played by good actors - that they can just get on with telling the story.

I pretty much agree. I'd be closer to an 8/10, and for most of the reasons you gave. I only know how to pronounce Xochitl because in college I knew a girl with that name. And Xochitl Gomez was excellent. I have a feeling she's a star in the making. She's certainly got the poise, and the looks, for it. The CGI in these things has become astonishing. That initial fight with the giant eye looked like it was really happening.

Agreed!
