About this movie

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.

Ratings and reviews

It has some of the best visuals of any MCU film in The Infinity Saga. However, it's a shame this is stuck in a film with nothing more than a pretty bland story. The film is still enjoyable, but it just feels like we've seen it all before, with the only thing new being a really impressive filter.

Even though Strange learning everything really quickly in a span of a month and some jokes aren't that good it's still a fun ride. Well acted, the action scenes are unique and the visuals, oh the visuals are jaw dropping amazingly well done. A hard task for Marvel to tackle on but delivered quite better than expected. Now this opens many different universes spanning from the Spider-verse to the Marvel Now! dimension, good on you Marvel, good on you.

Surprisingly decent. Marvel movies have become too formulaic lately in my opinion. This has just enough new twists to make it unique. A worthwhile watch, though I wouldn't buy it.
