I've never been crazy about Iron Man 3.
But my real beef is with Doctor Strange 1 - the one no one talks about or remembers. I have so many problems with that movie, how it introduces magic, how it treats the mythology of Doctor Strange and Kamar-Taj, and how it affects the stakes of the rest of the MCU. Very disappointed.
There were also just general creative decisions I didn't like. Wasn't crazy about the music (I wanted something more eastern and spiritual).
Should have been set in Tibet - but if it has to be Nepal, then at least cast a Nepali actress in the role. Tilda Swinton is great as a sorceress (especially a shady one) but she should have been Morgana or something. The entire film is a bizarre hodgepodge of eastern cultures. They're in Nepal but wearing Japanese kimonos. Their leader has her head shaved like a Tibetan monk (but no one else does). Their books are written in Sanskrit but their training yard exercises look like Kung Fu. And beneath all of it is a clashingly European harpsichord score.
I'm not saying you can't have melting pots, but this just felt like an unsatisfying mess.
