Review Detail

It was good. Enjoyable. The lack of the Marvel-y humor and such did make the film much more robust an experience, and it allowed the narrative to expose its solidity.
Some issues don't quite work very well, sadly. The altered Strange stealing books from Wong scene doesn't work very well, I'd say. I think it'd have been better to not use music at all, but I'd understand if it weren't possible to do that. Also, the editing truly is not as smooth; the rhythms of the film suffer a bit as it becomes noticeable when something that should be there just isn't. Scars from the surgery, I'd put it.
Still, it was enjoyable and is much more serious and grounded than the original.
