Yes, nice movie. At least better than the previous ones of the same saga.

Did this Spider-man movie have any sorcery or "magic"?

 

I ask because I never saw one of the most recent Spider-man movies with Dr.Strange, as I had heard that Dr.Strange practices sorcery/magic.

No Doctor Strange magic, this one is purely street level.

In the movies, he gets his powers from one of the infinity stones (at least that's what was explained to me).  This distinction has allowed some to view it as okay, but he is still called & considered "sorcerer supreme".

 

In the comics, it is more mystical in source, and in my opinion, cannot be excused or viewed as acceptable.

 

Personally, his presence in the movies is still uncomfortable to me, but his screentime was minor enough that I could look past it, since he is not the main subject of the Spiderman movies.  However, I refuse to watch the movies that are specifically of him, regardless of the explanation....

Jeremy @computerwiz mentioned, 

Dr. Strange

"... gets his powers from one of the infinity stones (at least that's what was explained to me). "

 

Does anyone know if the "Infinity Stones" originate from some kind of "god" or gods?

Or do the these stones involve any kind of sorcery, spiritism, etc?

>The Infinity Stones (formerly known as the Infinity Gems and the Soul Gems) are powerful artifacts that originated from the remnant of the First Firmament, the original universe, found below the Quarry of Creation and inhabited by Celestials,^[9] known as the First Celestials.^[10] That universe contains countless Infinity Stones, which get sent to other universes by the Celestials.^[11]

>According to one account, the Infinity Gems came about from the cosmic suicide of Nemesis,^[12] although a later account reframed this to be just a dream.^[13]

I also think it’s impostant we define our terms.

What is meant by "gods"? Technically all superheroes can be considered gods, since they are mighty beings.

What is "sorcery"? We know from the Bible that it’s the manipulation of the elements of nature by means of the power of demons. But in fiction what they call sorcery is often not explained by demonic influence, so what differenciates sorcery from super powers in the classical sense?
