Oh thank you! I was hunting for your review last night, and got distracted with one of your other posts. So couldn't find it.
Regarding Spiderman vs. Doctor Strange? Spiderman was a much better movie by a very large margin with far better cameos (I mean I bought Spiderman, and I'm glad I did and want to rewatch it again and again, Doctor Strange? I'm glad I saw it for free - no interest in rewatching it at all). And Spiderman came out at a time in which not much else was out there. Plus, it's part of a deal with Sony, and Sony refused to release it to streaming until the fall and on Starz, at that. Disney + will get it eventually, but probably not until 2023.
Spiderman made more money. Strange did okay, or well enough to justify a sequel, but it didn't break any records as far as I know.
Thor - I think it has the same director as the fourth Thor film, and if you didn't like it, you might want to wait? I'm excited about it - but that's because I read some of the comics its based on, and know they are taking Jason Aaron's story about how Jane Foster becomes the God of Thunder. (I'm wondering if she'll have breast cancer like she does in the comics - in the comics, she does chemo, becomes God of Thunder - and the power undoes all the work the chemo did and rids her body of the chemo, reinforcing the cancer.) Also, Christian Bale is playing the villain - and that's just inspired. (I love Christian Bale.) That said? I don't know if I'll see it in a movie theater or not.
I'm debating about Jurassic World - I love the Jurassic Park movies - that cheesy blend of disaster movie, creature flick, and problem solving turns me on. Also I adore Sam Neil. But I don't know - I actually like them better on my home television screen.
