The fx were pretty great (even going to a non 3D showing).  Cumberbatch was pretty good, he does jerk genius who is still kind of likeable well as always.  Mikkelson was about average for a Marvel villain, which is an admittadly low bar.  Rest of the cast was good.  I'd say a B- for a MCU movie and a C+ as just a movie.  I did like the solution for defeating Dormammamuamamamamu.

I've only read up to book 4 in this series. So can anyone confirm whether Carl & Tom are supposed to be a couple? Because this passage in High Wizardry:


"Being out in the open, "Tom said, "causes even more problems than 'passing'...as you'll have noticed. But the truth works best. The front door locked?" he said to Carl.


can easily be taken to represent more than their being Wizards...

Rereading So You Want to be a Wizard? makes me sad. Because I know whats coming. All four of the books in the series I have do. Well more the first three. The Ireland one isn't as bad. At least I don't recall the self-sacrifice theme being as important in that one...

Still. Poor Fred...

I really should have included an option for an evil wizard mentor. Also someone for Discworld. Oh well...

You have been chosen for a great destiny. You are the One who will face the Great Evil. Or maybe you'll change the world somehow. Or perhaps you just really want to dabble in things Man Was Not Meant To Know. In any case, first you'll need a mentor type...
