He played yet another standard Marvel villain who has the same powers as the good guys but is an evil version. Total waste of an incredible actor. (Character's fate spoiler)
At least he didn't technically die at the end, so he could come back. Doubt it, though.) He did ok with what he was given I guess and his first scene with Cumberbatch was very amusing. Why can't Marvel do interesting bad guys? It's the worst part of every MCU film that doesn't involve Loki.
I presume there's no Dr. Strange thread? I saw it last night and though it was pretty good. A solid 7/10. The first 30 minutes were the weakest. Origin stories just suck. It was also the shortest Marvel movie I've seen in a long time, clocking in at around 1h40m or thereabouts I'd say. The mid-credits scene
made me even more excited to see Thor Ragnarok. I hope Strange plays a big role in it and it isn't just a cameo.Cumberbatch's accent was super weird, though. Why not just let him be English and set the movie at the London Sanctun? Him being from New York had no influence on the story at all, most of the movie was set in Hong Kong anyway.
