From Marvel comes Doctor Strange, the story of world-famous neurosurgeon Dr. Stephen Strange, whose life changes forever after a horrific car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing, and hope, in an unlikely place – a mysterious enclave known as Kamar-Taj. He quickly learns that this is not just a center for healing but also the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying our reality. Before long Strange – armed with newly acquired magical powers – is forced to choose whether to return to his old life or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence.

I enjoyed this film and if I could, I would give it a 3.5 instead of a 3. But, I just don't think it deserves a 4. It was funny and cool at times but, overall, this film was just unremarkable. Now, don't get me wrong Benedict Cumberbatch and Rachel Mcadams were both great in this movie. And it had a good story with very interesting and well developed characters. I just didn't enjoy myself as much as I could have during the majority of this film. Though, it does open new and interesting doors for what the MCU could do later, it just isn't an amazing stand alone film.

Uninspired story and poor casting choices haunt a movie with strong potential. Cumberbatch and Adams do a good job with their roles - however the rest of the cast falls flat a feels out of place in a move that does not take place in Marvel's "New York" but instead in the mountains of Nepal and China. Washed out colors and poor cgi carry a filler episode type story that had a lot more potential coming into it than it actually ended up with. Overall - a disappointing movie from a studio we've come to expect better than average films from. The Marvel studios are not quite ready to tackle a fantasy film. I mean even "Jupiter Ascending" looked prettier than this.

While I adored the quite kaleidoscopic visuals, the same unfortunately can't be said regarding anything else---which isn't to trenchantly label it awful by any means. There's too nugatory a conflict enbellished in rather uninteresting characters. It tries soaring sky high with sophisticated subject matter (i.e spirtuality) but simply falls short in my wholehearted opinion.
