Exotic, mind bending and thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. Among the terra firma Marvel characters we've had playboy technologists, soldiers and a scientist, so this one is a good contrast - the genius. Cumberbatch is well cast, smoothly encapsulating a genius and determined man who loses his dexterity and turns to the mystics to regain it. Strange manages to be theatrical even when he is learning not be theatrical. He has good support from Tilda Swinton, the mysterious Ancient One, played with charismatic blankness. On the downside, the plot is quite straightforward once the rules of the perspectives are understood we see little of the thought process of a character forced to rethink everything he knows and the nature of reality itself and so when he becomes emotional it feels a bit false. But, as the Marvel series moves on in leaps and bounds this edition once again gives it a shot in the arm and an option for the next Avengers assembly.

The visuals are undoubtably fantastic, leading to some very unique action set-pieces that have enough style to set them apart from other superhero films, and its outstanding soundtrack is one of the best of the MCU. It's a shame, then, that the story and tone of 'Doctor Strange' drag it down to be one of the worst films of the Marvel cinematic universe. Stephen Strange is an unlikeable protagonist, one who we can never root for, and this means that the audience doesn't really have any reason to care about the story. Also, the narrative is very predictable and the film doesn't have a proper grasp on time; the 'training montage' is over very quickly and because there is no indication of how much time has passed, it seems as if Strange has gone from a nobody to the sorcerer supreme in mere days. Therefore, it feels entirely unbelievable that Strange can masterfully use his powers and save the world by the end of this film. Throughout the picture, Strange should have been struggling to use his powers, indicating to the audience that he is still learning and developing over time. Another big issue with the movie is its ham-fisted attempts at comedy. It is never funny, yet its 'humour' is always prevalent, even undermining serious moments on several occasions, and this becomes extremely annoying. Sure, a few comedic moments wouldn't have gone amiss, but since the character of 'Doctor Strange' isn't a funny one, this film should have had more of a focus on its serious elements and getting them to be successful. Without its superb visual elements and soundtrack, this could have been a disaster. 6/10

This is yet an other solide marvel movie entry. the concept of how the movie starts id very different than the other superhero movies. we are used to a quiet sluggish start where we get to know the character and how it gains its superpowers, but in this one its nice and paints a good picture about his story. the story plot can be a bit confusing at times but the reasons behind the main hero is different than we have seen in other superhero moviesthe movie had great visuals, the color contrast works great. subbtle but good music.all in all good movie. one of the goods

Doctor Strange, one of the better efforts of the Marvel Movie-Makers, really delivers the goods. I am fairly tough on Superhero movies; there are only three recent ones I felt are high-quality: Wonder Woman, Iron Man, and Doctor Strange. Cumberbatch does a great job, and is made for the role. You can see how comfortably he delivers his lines and mannerisms. The rest of the cast is good as well. The special effects are among the best ever created for a film; up there with Star Wars, The Matrix, and The Sound of Music (just kidding; wanted to get a cheap laugh from you). Looking forward to the sequel.
