I agree that it had JUST a bit too much humor, and Swinton really didn't sell herself to me as an Ancient One, though I did like the reveal about her powers.
Nothing wrong with a staff having a spark of the power of the Tribunal, lots of Doc Strange items/spells work like that.
The MCU Eye is nothing at all like the 616 Eye, had no problem with it being the Time Stone, it was one of the best utilized stones yet, storywise.
The one that that struck me about the movie is how it seemed rather small and intimate after all the recent Marvel ensemble movies.
The entire meaningful cast of the movie is 6 people, Strange, Wong, Mordo, Kaec, A1, and Christine.
Even Ant-Man had a significantly larger cast of important characters. No pun intended.
