The special effects were generally just a bunch of sterile CGI doodles with no weight to them. Many of the action scenes just felt like unrelatable white noise. The "clever" way in which Doctor Strange defeated the limitlessly powerful interdimensional being reminded me of a much funnier scene in a certain episode of Duck Tales.

Bad movie! No cookie for you!

I haven't heard it be highly praised, but I liked it.

I've done this a lot.

I've only gone alone once but it's amazing what a difference it makes not having to wait for your buddy to get out of the bathroom after the movie.

Got through Antman today. Surprisingly good. Does the movie very good favors that I've watched it the day after I watched Dr. Strange. Antman is a really visually creative movie that manages all the thrilling spectacle that fell flat on its face in that movie.
The good guys are more relatable, the bad guy is less of a cipher than Mads Mikkelsen's completely forgettable "dude with silly facepaint" villain.
Much less contrived plot and even jokes that landed more than not.

I wouldn't say it's a 10/10 or anything, but it's one of the best Marvel movies to date for sure.

I borrowed 3 super hero movies from my sister this weekend, so I've got one left to watch. Justice League is next... kinda trying to expect as little as possible.

I haven't gone to the movies in months so I'm embarrassed that I forgot Justice League even came out. Ant-Man didn't leave that big an impression on me though. I didn't even finish it tbh. It wasn't bad, I just was too lazy to start it back up again. Paul Rudd is always super likeable but the movie felt like a Paul Rudd vehicle with a superhero connection.

I go to movies alone all the time. Most of the time, actually. Shows too.

I've gone to the movies alone a few times but overall I try to avoid that and at least go with my sister if my friends don't have money. It's embarrassing to go alone.

Not embarrassing for me. I prefer my own company.

You're sitting in the dark not talking anyway, it doesn't really make much difference if you're with someone or not.
