In general martial art movies have beautiful fight scenes. Also Jackie Chan is a great comedian. It’s not surprising to find his main influence, apart of Bruce Lee, is that other great acrobat/comedian Buster Keaton!
It’s funny to me that fanboys movie critics seems to love so ugly movies like The Avengers. It’s just a few good jokes from TV sitcoms and a bunch of ugly looking but harmless fight scenes with a lot of explosions in CGI. The actors and charismatic, of course! But that’s doesn’t make a good movie!
My favorite comic book films are things like Tim Burton’s Batman Returns, the first two Sam Rami’s Spiderman movies and the most eccentric Marvel films (I haven’t watched the original Superman movies but I’m sure they are so good like poeple says). I didn’t liked Nolan’s Batman because it take itself too much serious and it’s clear to me he is underestimating the genre when trying to be solemn.

I actually wanted a proper top quality martial arts choreographer for DrStrange. Jackies fight scenes are truly an art form unlike any other. Meals on Wheals fight scene is the perfect example. But they spend months on just a 10 minute scene. Hollywood doesn't do that to save costs.

I think the “advantage” of Dr. Strange’s fighting scenes was that the baddie’s minions were actual martial art artists and, of course, that Derrickson seems to love the genre so knows the importance of presenting a good fight on screen. But agreed, it would be better with a proper martial art choreographer.

I wasn't a big fan of the GOTG movies, but I will say that scene made me teary-eyed and I can't say that about any other MCU movies. Even the death of the Ancient One!

Those are my favorites too. I did like the Nolan Batman movies though, and Iron Man 1 and 2 (I didn't see 3.)

I think the Iron Man movies (I haven't watched the 3th neither!) are good thanks to the huge Robert Downey Jr's charisma. Captain America 1 was also very entertaining without being super special. I didn't finished Thor 1, tho! Boring! And I didn't liked The Avengers 1.
I haven't watched a lot of Marvel movies, tho !

I agree. I also thought Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell were great villains in IM2. The only other things I've really liked in MCU movies were Loki, Dr. Strange and Black Panther (which was really, really good I thought.) I haven't seen the new Spiderman.

That would give more free time to BC so it would be good for me but at the same time fanboys are the worst critics and even worse analysts. Real knowledgeable critics like Manohla Dargis and even the hated by the kids, Richard Brody liked it much more than their silly Avengers flicks and, more important, it made more money than the original Thor, Captain America and Hulk. Actually it did much more money than Ant-Man which just had a sequel recently relased (it also did more than its sequel and Thor's sequel in both actual and adjusted numbers, I just checked them: www.boxofficemojo.com/franchises/chart/?id=marvelcomics.htm ) So yes, I can see Marvel wanting a sequel even when it wasn't a phenomenom like Black Panther because it was an amazing hit and was acclaimed by critics.

Nope. I have an issue with this article. Strange (in the comics) certainly does battle on his own against mystical threats to our planet. Nightmare would make an awesome villain for him. If Stark gets an entire movie to wrestle with his ptsd and anxiety (IM3), then why can’t Strange have an entire movie where Cleo, Mysterio, and/or Nightmare try to rip his mind apart?
He’s much too powerful a being to be relegated to Thor’s sidekick. They need to unlock his potential!
If Ben’s going to be in the MCU, then I think he should go whole hog. He’ll still have time for other projects, hasn’t stopped him before.
